Summary
"Alright," Erik puts his hands on his hips. "Jesus. Who came up with this, seriously? Why are the teaspoons all the way in the back - you drink so much tea, it doesn't make sense to have them... and the- ist das ein Feuerzeug? Why is it over there with the knives?"
"Can't help you there," Charles comments serenely. "Probably my mother, who prioritised accessibility of the corkscrew over most other things in life."
or: Charles doesn't take well to returning to his childhood home. Erik makes soup and rearranges the cutlery drawer.

Summary
Charles blinks at him bemusedly, but Erik barely notices because Charles is wearing glasses— wire-rimmed, and Erik can feel the metal humming, traces without touch the way they follow the curve of Charles’s nose and rest behind his ears.

Summary
“I believe more in patterns. There are certain equations that always lead back to the same loops—or seem to, anyway; infinity is vast. But sometimes it takes much longer to reach the loop, often without a clear reason.”
Remus squints. “Are you describing soulmates? With maths?”
“No. Well...” Sirius’s thumb massages his knuckles. “Maybe.”
“Do you think your husband is your soulmate?”
A long pause. When he turns, Sirius’s eyes are on the ceiling. “I think... that in another life, I would’ve really liked just cleaning his flat with him.”

Sirius can ease his aches with a few little tricks he’s learned over the course of their friendship and inevitable romantic relationship— a nice hot bath, a few pain relieving potions, a full-body massage…
A good fucking.
And, luckily for them both, Sirius knows how to tame the wolf.

“Sorry.” James puts a hand over his eyes. “Are you saying that amortentia smells like wool and, what, flowers to you?”
Sirius gives him a look. “I mean, you’ve met Moony,” he says. “I assume you haven’t missed the fact we’ve been dating these last couple years. What did you think it would smell like?”

Summary
It's December of 1976. The Ministry is more concerned about cracking down on werewolves than it is about disappearing Muggleborns, Remus is a lousy prefect but a decent friend, and James has declared that all Christmas gifts must be "creative" this year. Includes strongly worded letters to the editor, Muggle protest tactics, Quidditch games, and a very temperamental Sirius. Happy Christmas!
One part a day will be posted from December 1st to December 25th.
