To take a meme from a_t_rain:

I will post the names of all the files in my WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Choose one (or a few, I don't care), and I will post a random line or two.

(I have folders and subfolders by genre, and I have a million WIPs, so I'm being selective as to which ones I post.)

I would do this meme but what it would be about, errr, papers in progress, which I trust no one cares about. ;_;

sirius and neville AU and/or Howl regency, please?

Both!

sirius and neville au: (nb: it was meant to be for some fest where the prompt was that Sirius was BFF with Frank and took Neville after the Longbottoms were tortured)

“Of course you are [capable of finding your own company]. But you won’t, and you need to be with other people.” Her face softened. “Sirius, boy, you’re lonely and falling apart. Try it.” She leaned forward and squeezed his hand. He remembered how she had reminded him of his mother when he first met her – thin, bony, grim – but how she had welcomed him into her home when he had run away (or been thrown out, depending on who you asked). She straightened and became brisk again. “Now, pass me the biscuits. I have my eye on that iced one and I know you’ll eat them all if I don’t take a few now.”

howl regency:

Mr Pendragon was the sort of man who is remarked on in such a manner as the previous: a rake. He was always and only spoken of in disparaging terms by mothers and angry ones by fathers, often with envy by other men, and usually in longing tones by daughters. His background was shrouded in mystery; it was unknown how he had acquired his riches, and the extent of this wealth was also unknown, although it was generally considered to be an inheritance consisting of between six or seven thousand pounds a year. This would have made him an acceptable match for any but the most fastidious of families, except that the main fact that was known of him was that he had the unfortunate tendency to cause girls to fall in love with him, whereupon he would behave in the most shocking manner, and then would leave the unlucky girl in her disgrace while he took himself to another. Despite the fact that this behavior was well-known, a new girl fell prey to his charms at least once a month.
