I'm in love with shoebox_project

[starsthatshine]

I'm at least five years behind everyone else but... ♥

"Your lap is soft like a pillow is soft," Sirius points out. "But let'snot talk about that right now. We're talking about your inability tocommunicate."

"My inability to communicate?" Remus splutters. "My inability? Sirius, you're the one theorizing on the possibility of farting a star into existence!"

I'm just sayin' ;) Sirius and Lupin is the best kind of love there is. Also, I made a fic. Read:

Sirius met Lupin. They snogged. All was well.

the end.

Isn't it superb? :D

.... I think reading about Sirius high on Gillyweed might have affected me some. Welcome gbrosa2007 to my flist :D See you're a newbie (or perhaps made a new journal?) but you're very much welcome nonetheless :D :D

Edit: I just must add this in because... it's frickin' beautiful. Oh, Remus, how I love you.

"Which is your favorite song?"

"I can't pick one," Remus says.

"Cabbagey answer," Sirius says. "Disqualified! Look, do I have to glue your hands to my head, or what? Can you make circles, like, with your thumbs? Right -- sweet God. Right like that..."

"I can't pick one. Look, you go on about me trying to make moments, right? Well, I don't even like moments. I like the...thing as a whole, I suppose. I like these two records together. The songs are all right, all of them, by themselves. But I like the two records. I like playing them from both sides in my yard while my father sings 'Sexy Sadie' to my mum very off-key and there's an airplane overhead. That isn't a moment, that's...what it's like. The whole picture. If I picked one song I'd have to break it down, and then I'd miss the whole point."

[...]

"I like to remember everything," Remus says, very quietly, so as not to wake him. "As it was. Because moments by themselves aren't enough; they're just -- they're like photographs. They move a little, they wave, but they aren't everything. You can look back on a moment and say 'In that moment I was happy' or, more often than not, 'In that moment I was uncomfortable' or 'In that moment I was sad' or 'In that moment we were all berks' but you can look back on everything and you think, 'That was good.' Because when all the moments come together, when all the songs meet up with one another, you get something whole and complete and wonderful, people you loved and people you hated and a fondness for them you may not be able to recapture but everything you remember about them being somehow more than they really were, because that's what remembering everything does. When I'm old, I think, I'll look back on this and I won't remember 'That time Sirius thought, if he lit a fart on fire, he could make a star come out of his arse' but I'll probably remember the stars themselves. I won't think 'He nearly choked me when he grabbed onto my tie' but I will think about the stupid doggy noises you're making, even right now, even while you're sleeping. It probably means remembering everything and not jumping from moment to moment like life is a game of leap-frog and should be taken experience to experience like lily-pads is foolish, because I won't remember you're often a berk and James is often a berk and Peter can be impressively inane and I am such a wet-blanket with such a large nose it's a miracle you don't hate me. I'll just remember that I talked for five minutes to a friend who was already sleeping and I was happy anyway." Remus pauses, sighs, and thumbs the side of Sirius' jaw, not noticing the path of his fingers. "You're not going to remember any of this. Which is probably good since this, my friend, is definitely babble. I hate Gillyweed. It makes you think everything is profound when, in reality, you're talking to yourself and no one else can translate the language that is You."

Shoebox > life.

Remus/Sirius = OTP 4EVER.

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

Oh, such truths you speak *nods* ITA with everything :D Sirius/Remus is, as I seriously thought when I was reading HBP, canon. There's no denying it. Oh, I made wallpapers :D

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

Sirius met Lupin. They snogged. All was well.

And they lived happily ever after, as they should. *le sigh* Sirius/Remus is the ultimate OTP, for real.

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

Totally. And totally canon too because it's so obvious :D They are so ultimately fantastic :D

aslkdfjlaskdfj SHOEBOX.

I cannot express my utter joy at seeing shoebox love on my flist again! And, and, it doesn't matter that you're so far behind because you get to discover it all. Though, the first summer it came out, when it updated every Thursday, was pretty amazing. Still! So much love.

Also, Part 11 is possibly my favorite chapter ever. I was reading random bits of it in PDF format this morning, and there are so many good parts, but that is probably the best. ♥

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

*gasps* There's SHOEBOX in PDF format?! O_O *eyes like plates*

I read the first two parts before and I liked it but for some reason I stopped reading. Now, while searching through a bunch of lists of HP Classics and I thought 'Why not?' and started reading it.

Oh, how I heart Remus/Sirius. I should post the wallpapers I did. :P

[surrealiste.livejournal.com]

THERE IS. It was just posted in cult_sbp recently, and I believe you can find it here (http://lomara.org/sbp/). All of the notes and pictures are up there - I think some in the original community won't show up anymore.

That's so great that you started to read it again! Wow, it must be such a treat after finishing Deathly Hallows.

You should definitely post. Remus/Sirius deserves lots of love, especially after the lack of love in DH.

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

Oh, how I love you for these links :D Absolutely marvelous :D I just read when Sirius has his Career Advice stuff and all he can do is talk to McGonagall about his undying love LMAO :P Oh, how I love it.

There was a distinct lack of RS love, I admit, but look at it this way... we know that they're totally and utterly and completely and extremely completely in love with each other. That's what matters :D

[candidlily.livejournal.com]

Oh, shoebox. ♥ I really should re-read it. Nnngh, Remus. That's one of my favorite parts as well.

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

Re-reading is good :D Re-reading is your friend :D There are so many awesome bits in that fic that I find no words :D

[seablues.livejournal.com]

Sirius met Lupin. They snogged. All was well.

the end.

Best Sirius/Remus fic I've ever read! :D

[aliasagent.livejournal.com]

Awww *hugs* Good :D Personally, I thought it was brilliant. Very poignant, if I may say so myself :D :P
