@hprecfest Day 1: a fic under 5,000 words
Magnified, Sanctified by @butcherbacterium
There is a 10-inch scar down his back where Sirius got a little too excited with a knife and Sirius’ shoulder still pops out from the way Remus tied him up that one time in Split. They break bones, tear flesh, and bleed each other dry just for the thrill of it. Sex is better when you’re half dead by the end of it, in his opinion.
3,582 words. (read the tags)
Day 2: a comfort fic
Beneath a Big Blue Sky by @eyra
The four-by-four heaves its way down long, twisting lanes, little more than dirt tracks scuffed into the surrounding fields and hemmed in by serpentine walls of flat, grey stone. They truly are in the middle of nowhere: the countryside rushes past, all rolling green hills and vast, endless skies, and it's odious. Sirius wants to murder James with his bare hands.
Sirius and James accidentally find themselves on a Yorkshire farm during lambing season. The farmer’s son thinks that’s a bit annoying, actually.
My ultimate comfort fic. Everything about this makes me feel warm inside, and every time I hear ABBA now I think of them.

Always an Angel, Never a God (the playlist)
I made a playlist for the fic Always an Angel, Never a God by @butcherbacterium. B is my number one cheerleader/enabler and I am so, so lucky that she is my friend! Always An Angel is such an iconic and beautiful fic, and I wanted to pay it tribute in the only way I know how — through music. This one's for you, B. ❤️
1. Family Tree // Ethel Cain (Sirius)
These crosses all over my body
Remind me of who I used to be
Give myself up to him in offering
Let him make a woman out of me
...
So take me down to the river and bathe me clean
Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me
2. Faster, Faster // Bree Sharp (Sirius)
The dusty road that's ahead will
Be my board and my bed till
What I am looking for is found
…
And yesterday is right behind me like a loaded gun
So I'm racing toward the horizon
...
I met a sucker on Sunday
I took his wallet on Monday
Then I was out on the road again
3. Acts 9:3 // Sluice (Sirius)
Yeah I'm walking towards Damascus
My body’s weary and my heart is too
Ive had no revelations in the wilderness
...
Jesus finally came to me at a crossing
...
He smiled, gun on his hip
Offered me an oxycodone and he split
4. Abbey // Mitski (Remus)
I am hungry
I have been hungry
I was born hungry
What do I need?
I am something
I have been something
I was born something
What could I be?
There is a light that I can see
But only, it seems, when there's darkness in me
There is a dream that I sometimes see
That only appears in the dark of sleep
I am waiting
I have been waiting
5. Lone Wolf // Eels (Remus)
I am a lone wolf
I always was and will be
I feel fine, I am resigned to this
I am a lone wolf
...
It blows my mind
That people want to try to get inside my tired head
...
I am a lone wolf
Nobody needs to get too close to me
6. Drunk Kid Catholic // Bright Eyes (Both)
The drunk kids, the catholics
They're all about the same
They're waiting for something
Hoping to be saved
...
And every night I think I certainly won't ever sleep sober or alone
And then suddenly it occurs to me
I've slept alone before you
And so I pour myself the stiffest drink my stomach can stand
And convince myself to lay back down again
7. I Am the Antichrist to You // Kishi Bashi (Both)
Who are you? Who am I to you?
I am the antichrist to you
Fallen from the sky with grace
Into your arms race
Lucid lovers me and you
A deal of matchless value
I was always quick to admit defeat
Empty statements of bones and meat
And my heart it shook with fear
I'm a coward behind a shield and spear
8. Glory // Liz Phair (Both)
You are (you are), you are (you are) shining some glory
You are (you are), you are (you are) shining some glory
On me, on me
9. God In Jeans // Ryan Beatty (Sirius)
God is real, he was sleeping in my bed last night
We were naked with the radio on
Played him favorite song
...
I pray to the open sky
This is the one I wanted
This is everything
Give me more, I'll be all your love
I believe in heaven above
Come and give me life
Show me what it's like to fall into your arms
10. Flower // Liz Phair (Both)
Every time I see your face I think of things unpure, unchaste
I want to fuck you like a dog
I'll take you home and make you like it
Everything you ever wanted
Everything you ever thought of
Is everything I'll do to you
...
Everything you ever wanted
Everything you ever thought of
Is everything I'll do to you
I'll fuck you till your dick is blue
Every time
11. Sacrilege // Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Remus)
Fallen for a guy, fell down from the sky
Halo round his head
Feathers in a bed
In our bed, in our bed
It's sacrilege, sacrilege, sacrilege, you say
...
And I plead and I pray
12. I Wanna Be Yours // Arctic Monkeys (Both)
I wanna be your vacuum cleaner
Breathing in your dust
I wanna be your Ford Cortina
I will never rust
If you like your coffee hot
Let me be your coffee pot
You call the shots, babe
I just wanna be yours
Secrets I have held in my heart
Are harder to hide than I thought
Maybe I just wanna be yours
I wanna be yours
13. Take Me To Church // Hozier (Remus)
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
"We were born sick", you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"
The only Heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
A-, Amen, Amen, Amen
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life
Take me to church
14. Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want // Deftones (Remus)
Good times for a change
See, the luck I've had
Can make a good man
Turn bad
So please, please, please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me get what I want
This time
Haven't had a dream in a long time
See, the life I've had
Can make a good man bad
So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time
15. Good Days // Sza (Sirius)
Tell me I'm not my fears, my limitations
I disappear, if you let me
Feeling like (on your own)
Feeling like Jericho
Feeling like Job when he lost his shit
Gotta hold my own, my cross to bear alone, I
Ooh, paid a deal, way to kill the mood
Know you like that shit, yeah, groovy baby, baby
Heavy on my empty mind shit
I gotta keep from losin' the rest of me (losin' the rest of me)
Still worry that I wasted the best of me on you, babe
You don't care
16. Prayer // Leith Ross (Remus)
Last night, I wrote a prayer
To the water in my head
Read the book my mother read
See, I don't believe in God
At least not one that's not as human as me and anyone that ever was
...
See, I have to believe there's some kind of deity
In broken bones and skin that bleeds
I can't count upon heaven or hell or law
When I'm scared and lonely
Amen, amen, amen, amen
17. Real Pain // Indigo De Souza (Remus)
When pain is real, you cannot run
You can cover, but come undone
And love might go, but is not gone
I still know you, I still know you
...
I wanna kick, wanna scream, I wanna know it's not my fault
I wanna know it's not my fault, I didn't mean it
18. Checkout Blues // Eels (Remus)
I've got something
Maybe I should tell you
I may check out
At any given time
Things won't get better
Until they get much worse
Is the curse stronger than me
Or am I stronger than the curse
Everyone is scared of me
And I'm scared of me too
Never know just what I'm gonna do
19. Way down We Go // KALEO (Both)
Oh, Father tell me, do we get what we deserve?
Whoa, we get what we deserve
And way down we go
Way down we go
Say way down we go
Way down we go
20. God's Silence // Eels (Sirius)
(Instrumental)
21. Fallen // Bree Sharp (Sirius)
Little girl, little girl questioning me
She says, "Why doesn't everyone have what they need?
Where are the angels, angels, angels?
Where are the angels, angels, angels?"
I cannot tell you my little darling
All my faith has fallen, fallen, fallen
22. Sleep Talking // Indigo De Souza (Sirius)
Nothing left but a feeling in there somewhere
Nothing left but a feeling in my toes
When I get home, I'm gonna love you so well
Please get me out, out of the depths of hell
When I get home, I'm gonna sell you my soul
When I get home, when I get home, when I get home
I'll break your bones with all the love I carry
23. Jesus Christ // Brand New (Remus)
Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face
The kind you'd find on someone that could save
If they don't put me away
Well, it'll be a miracle
Do you believe you're missing out?
That everything good is happening somewhere else
But with nobody in your bed
The night's hard to get through
And I will die all alone
And when I arrive I won't know anyone
Jesus Christ, I'm alone again
So what did you do those three days you were dead?
'Cause this problem is gonna last
More than the weekend
...
Do I divide and fall apart?
'Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark
...
I know you're coming in the night like a thief
But I've had some time alone to hone my lying technique
I know you think that I'm someone you can trust
But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up (everyone now)
24. Francis Forever // Mitski (Sirius)
I don't know what to do without you
I don't know where to put my hands
I've been trying to lay my head down
But I'm writing this at three AM
I don't need the world to see
That I've been the best I can be, but
I don't think I could stand to be
Where you don't see me
25. Into My Arms // Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (Remus)
I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Oh, not to touch a hair on your head
Leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
26. Tender // Blur (Both)
Tender is the night lying by your side
Tender is the touch of someone that you love too much
Tender is the day the demons go away
Lord, I need to find someone who can heal my mind
Come on, come on, come on
Get through it
Come on, come on, come on
Love's the greatest thing
27. Not Strong Enough // Boygenius (Both)
Black hole opened in the kitchen
Every clock's a different time
It would only take the energy to fix it
I don't know why I am
The way I am
Not strong enough to be your man
I tried, I can't
Stop staring at the ceiling fan and
Spinning out about things that haven't happened
Breathing in and out
...
Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god
Always an angel, never a god
