Summary
“Ignore Mister Buzzkill over here,” Richie announces, turning decidedly away from Carmy. “Cousin Michelle is dying to meet you, Syd, so if you don’t mind-“
“Fine, fine! As long as you’ve got your head above water in here?…”
Carmy nods approvingly, smiles. “Yeah, go ahead Syd. Yo, Marcus, think you could step in for a minute?”
“No doubt, chef.”
It’s all very familiar, cooking and bantering and teasing. But set against the backdrop of Natalie’s quaint suburban kitchen, it feels reinvented- examined through a new lens. Sydney’s starting to think that family might be the right word for it.
____Or, the first time Sydney really felt like part of the family.

Summary
They’re having Nat and Pete over for dinner tonight, probably the most adult thing they’ve ever done as a couple, and it’s got Sydney wound up to the nines. Carmy’s been trying to insist that it’s not as big a deal as she’s making it out to be but he’s been met with resolute disagreement at every turn. She wants this to be perfect- because they’ve been dating for almost six months now and it’s serious and this is a serious thing that serious couples do. Because this is the first time Nat and Pete are seeing them as Syd & Carmy, the couple. Sharing an apartment and cooking a meal and being together in a way that doesn’t revolve around The Bear. This is new territory, Sydney insists.
If you ask Carmy, it’s just his sister and her husband coming over to eat chicken alfredo.But he’s trying to be supportive, despite what Sydney might think about the pack of Marlboros tucked in his jeans. He’s got the nicotine gum in his back pocket to prove that he’s quitting, changing, trying- and that’s got to be worth something.

Summary
She stays at her dad’s for the next two nights, quickly recalls why she hasn’t done that for weeks now.
It doesn’t not bother her, being apart from him. She’d forgotten how monotonous it all was- the going to work and coming home, wash, rinse, repeat. Doing it alone, spending the night replaying the day, mustering together a meal just because you have to.It bothers her a lot, being apart from him.
Two days of being distant and overly-professional, of Carmy never looking her in the eye. He put the ball in her court, and now she feels as if it’s being repeatedly bashed against her forehead.
It’s day three of their fight, and Sydney is starting to get worried.
______In the midst of an early-relationship fight, Carmy gets sick. Sydney has a lot to think about

Summary
This is to say that he’s sitting at the bartop, nursing an eggnog and half-listening to the convoluted story Fak is yelling into his ear, and just absolutely staring at Sydney from across the room. She’s with Sugar, watching karaoke and eating one of the ricotta and roasted grape crostinis he made earlier today (they really should’ve hired a caterer). She’s nodding, eyes wide at whatever Nat tells her and Carmy irrationally decides it must be some dig at him- it’s not a totally far-fetched notion.
Her arms are bare, a rare sight, and it feels stupidly scandalous.
___
She’s trying not to notice him.
She really is- she’s trying to enjoy the karaoke and the hors d'oeuvres and the story Natalie’s telling her. But Sydney can feel Carmy’s eyes on her from across the room like a sixth sense and it’s really fucking distracting. It’s becoming an issue really, the staring. Sydney can’t tell if he’s really that obvious about it or if she’s just hyper aware of everything he does (either is equally likely)- but whatever the case, she can feel his eyes like strobe lights on her back as she bites into her crostini.Series

Summary
“We don’t actually have to do this,” Sydney reminds Carmy for the fifth time since they left his apartment. “We could go home and make crepes like we talked about. And I’ll like, put candles on them and sing and everything. And then we can fuck on the kitchen counter if you want- like a real birthday party, right?”
They’ve managed their way to the front steps of his mother’s house, but Carmy’s yet to work up the nerve to ring the doorbell. He’s leaned against the railing, an arm crossed over his chest and a hand to his mouth, pinching his top lip (a habit Sydney hates). She saddles up next to him, takes the offending hand in her own, squeezes it tight; Carmy finally looks over at her.
“Very tempting,” he concedes, a grin flashing before quickly fading, his eyes landing back on the house before them.

Summary
"Just go home!" Simon snaps, startling Wilhelm as he puts a dish in the sink, slipping from his grip and hitting the bottom with a loud clunk.
"E–excuse me?" Wilhelm blinks.
Simon lets out an angry sigh. "Go home and take Henry with you,” Simon spits. "I don't need your help. I don't need you." He harshly drops his wet cloth on the counter, glaring at Wilhelm like if he stares hard enough he'll actually be able to physically crush Wilhelm's heart. And frankly, Wilhelm's starting to think that might be possible.
"Simon, I was just–"
"No, no, you weren't just," Simon glares.
-
Wilhelm and Simon reunite at university after a heartbreaking departure at Hillerska. The two are forced back into each other’s lives and must navigate how to co-exist as the young men they’ve become.

Summary
Remus Lupin is going home for the summer. For the first time he is riding the Hogwarts Express alone. By choice. Sirius' prank made him come to the realization that this was bound to happen. He was bound to lose his friends. It was just a matter of time.
Sad, alone, and friendless Remus is home for the summer and ignoring his friends letters. He wants to wallow alone in his sadness; however, his father is getting worse at controlling his own sadness and anger. Remus isn't sure how he is going to make it through the summer to return to school or even if he wants to go back after all that's happened.
This is my version of every marauders rite of passage: The Prank

Summary
“I was looking for Advil, Moony. Why the fuck do you have this?” He rattles the bottle in the air, the pills inside bouncing against the plastic as he holds it up to Remus’ face so he can see exactly what he’s talking about. He’s not sure what he’d been expecting, but Remus barely even reacts.
He holds Sirius’ gaze, expression unreadable, and then he says, “I’m not using again.” Point blank. Sirius studies his face, trying to decide whether or not he believes him. Remus is hard to read, sometimes.
“It just seems really stupid to have this sitting around, then,” he says after a beat. “It’s not—“
“Take it.” Remus breaks eye contact, patting at his cigarettes in his pocket. His universal, I’m about to leave the room and escape this conversation move. “I didn’t even know they were in there.”
