Title: What Matters Most
Author: katyscarlett76 
Rating: PG
Prompts: Beach and “I don’t care who you are or where you’re from. I don’t care what you did. As long as you love me.” The Backstreet Boys.
Word count: 5146
Summary: Following Dumbledore’s death Remus flees to his childhood haunt and re-assesses what really matters to him.
Author’s Note: This is a sort of companion piece to a fic I wrote for the Beatles and the Bard ficathon last year, Finding Solace.
My thanks to tegdoh  for the super fast last minute beta!


What Matters Most

Snagged from jadeddiva  because she gave us some rather delicious Chris Pine pics, so I wanted to play :)  And because we all need some hotness in our day, especially when it's bloody raining again! 

Answer the questions with pictures of the person/character you were tagged with. Comment on this post (strongly hint who you want me to choose) and I'll give you a person.

( Guess Who?? )
After spending a lovely hour or so looking up those delicious pics, I shall now get back to writing my metamorfic_moon  fic.  Which funnily enough seems to flow better after a glass of wine, so I'll go get another one of those too :)

I went to see HBP on Saturday with some friends, we were extraordinarily excited! IMAX 3D!!!! We got there 45 mins before the film was due to start and already there was a huge queue! So I had to do some ducking and diving to ensure we got decent seats (it was general admissions unless you paid an extra £5 for the premium seats, given that IMAX costs £12 already we weren't going to do that!)

( My thoughts.... )

Title: Among the Daffodils
Fandom: Harry Potter
Prompts: R/T, Daffodil
Genre: AU, family fluff
Characters: Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Teddy Lupin
Pairing: Remus/Tonks
Rating: PG
Word Count: 869
Summary: Teddy’s second birthday brings a range of emotions but a simple family picnic helps to soothe the soul.
Author’s Note: An unashamedly AU piece of Lupin family fluff! Dedicated to tegdoh who gave me the prompt for her birthday drabble months ago! Sorry it’s taken so long! This fic was partially inspired by a gorgeous photo of my best friend’s little boy running through a field of Daffodils. Little M is my Teddy muse and a lot of how my Teddy acts and talks is based on him, hopefully this means he’s a true version of a two year old!

Last night I went to see Emma at Dunham Massey, luckily the rain held off and we had a nice picnic so it was great.  The production itself was very enjoyable, there was only five actors playing all the parts and they used pictures to represent other characters in places which sounds bizarre but actually was well done.
( All about Emma )

In honour of today being Remus' birthday, I have been nosing around the interwebs at various fan art interpretations of the birthday boy and came across this picture:

Now whilst this isn't exactly my vision of Remus (hair's too dark for a start) he is very sexy and this Tonks is so pretty and baby Teddy just his usual adorable self! It just warms my heart to see this lovely image of the Lupin family having a sleepy cuddle!

Just thought I'd share. Happy Remus Day everyone!

Title: Where’s My Cocoa?
Fandom Harry Potter
Prompts: Remus, cocoa
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,142
Summary: Someone’s stolen Remus’ special cocoa.
Author’s Note: Just a bit of fun written as a gift for ladybracknell’s birthday. I hope you like it!

( Where’s My Cocoa? )

Last night I went to see the RSC touring production of Othello which stars Natalia Tena as Desdemona.

( cut because spoilers if you don't know the Othello story )

Yesterday was the birthday of the always fabulous ladybracknell  !!!  Hope you had a wonderful day sweetie and that the only crazy stalker guy around was RPATTZ ; )  I still owe you a drabble from the last drabble meme but if you would like a special one in honour of your birthday, give me characters and a prompt and I'll see what I can do!

Today brings the birthday of the lovely wildmagelet !!  Have a very happy birthday honey!!!  Give me characters and a prompt if you'd like a special little drabble and I promise to get to it soon : )

A very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the very fabulous jadeddiva !!!!!!!!!!!!


I hope you have a wonderful day sweetie and get as spoilt as you deserve xxxx

If you give me characters and a prompt, I'll write you a little something in honour of the occasion : ) 

Last night I went to the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour at the Echo Arena in Liverpool. I didn’t go to the tour last year, but I had seen the DVD so I had an idea what to expect and was soooo excited!!!!
( Keep dancing… )
Was an amazing night, wanna go again!! Can’t wait to buy the DVD to relive it!!

I just posted my metamorfic_moon  fic! YAY! My first completed fic since the summer! I'm so proud of myself!

Anyway here it is:

Title: A New Feeling
Author: katyscarlett76
Rating: PG
Warning: Does extreme corniness need a warning?
Prompts: Enchanted snow and "But you know the thing about romance is people only get together right at the very end.” Love Actually
Word Count: 3,506
Summary: Tonks didn’t believe in love but would she recognise it when it presented itself to her? A fateful meeting with a certain Werewolf gave her the chance to find out.
Author’s Note: Loosely inspired by the film Serendipity and probably a million other romantic movies I’ve watched in my lifetime!
Many thanks to tegdoh for her quick beta job during this busy festive season!


A New Feeling

Did anyone else feel that the judges scored Tom a bit harshly tonight?  Ok he had a bit of a trip in his Foxtrot but he recovered well and I feel his Foxtrot had more life than either of the girls' did.  I enjoyed it a lot more.  Then I thought his Salsa was fantastic!  And deserved higher scores than he got. 

Between the girls, I'm really not sure, but I think I'm favouring Lisa over Rachel.  I just felt that she had something more in her dancing maybe it's the sparkle in her eyes, Rachel I think is still missing that.  Although Lisa's constant smiling is starting to annoy me!  But I enjoyed her Cha Cha over Rachel's Rumba (I always feel a bit pervey watching a Rumba, feels a bit like watching someone have sex!)

I've voted for Tom a few times as I really want to see his show dance!  But I'm not all that passionate about who wins, unlike last year where I really wanted Alesha to win.

EDIT:  The right last two I think.  Again though the judges seem to be favouring Rachel which makes me want Tom to win even more!  I always love the Viennese Walz, both were fab but I thought that Tom's was again more of a performance than Rachel, she seems to be just going through the motions of the steps, technically brilliant but just missing that special something, for me anyway.

The show dances were fab, but Tom's made me smile more.  Rachel's was good but as it was an eighties track I was comparing it to Alesha's to Holding out for a Hero last year and it didn't make my jaw drop like that did.  Whereas I just loved Tom's and it wasn't like anyone else's, it was uniquely Tom's.  I really want him to win now!

EDIT2:  Oh I'm all teary, YAY TOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
