gilpin25I'm slightly early for a Saturday birthday, but as I may not be around till very late on tomorrow - Many Happy Returns of the Day to the awesome ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hrymfaxe! I hope you have a great day, Marie, and I've really enjoyed getting to know you and the lovely art you draw this year.:D
I've posted a fic atgilpins_tales as a birthday gift. I seemed to have the Beatles stuck in my head, for some reason, when it came to chosing a title! ;) Hope you enjoy it.
Title: With a Little Help from My Friends
Genre: Humour; drama; a dash of romance
Ratings & Warnings: PG-13 (Mild swearing)
Word Count: 6985
Summary: There’s something the Marauders wouldn’t be caught dead reading in public, but in private it’s a very different matter. After all, it’s the only way to try and come to terms with the complex mysteries of the opposite sex. (Remus, Sirius, James, Peter and … R/T)
Author’s Note: This is a sort of prequel/outtake to a fic called The Measure of a Man, but should make sense on its own. It’s set in the sixth year. In it a reference was made to the above guilty secret of the Marauders;hrymfaxe and a couple of others rashly expressed a wish to read it and, as I rather fancied writing it, it’s now dedicated to her for her birthday with my best wishes.:D

It was originally intended to be fairly light-hearted throughout, but these slightly darker undercurrents kept creeping in which I hoped would make the story and dynamics a lot more interesting. As well as giving me an excuse I didn't need to fit the final scene in, of course. I'm sure Remus must have taken careful note of all the tips in Witch Weekly and finally put them to very good use. And I like to think there must have been a special Cardigan Wearers Issue just for him, along with Maintaining the Dishevelled Hair Look for Fangirls... ;)
Thank you for the lovely comment.:D
