I've just had a very, very mixed day ( Read more... )

As almost everyone who's likely to be interested has already seen, miraminx's new fic, Redeeming Time, is up at her site.

In celebration of the above day: a bit of the Naughty!Sirius/ProfessorLupin fic I agreed so recklessly to take on. This was as far towards playing the teacher as Remus was prepared to go in his role-playing, and I fear it will remain forever unfinished.
