#so sirius wasn't even being a delinquent when he drank the wine at dinner!

Love, love, love Adore and am drooling over Head Over Feet!!

You mentioned a couple asks ago that you haven’t specified it’s in the US, and that made me very curious as to where they do live??

The way you’ve phrased east and west coast and mentioned eastern time (NA) makes me wonder (aka hope) that maybe, if not the US, they’re in Canada?!?! As a Canadian girlie I love some representation for us - so I just had to ask!!

They indeed are Canadian. 😁 They don't live in Quebec, but they're close! They live in Ottawa. For those unaware, Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec are directly across the Ottawa River from one another, and Hull is a historic neighbourhood in Gatineau. (By the way, the university in the story is Carleton.)

I'm a Canadian girlie myself, and when I started Disarm I thought, if American writers make them American in AUs, why can't I make them Canadian? So I did. I'm not from Ottawa (I'm from Newfoundland, which is way too distinct a setting, because we fucking weird over here) but I did spend a lot of summers there as a kid.

#asked and answered #remus and rieka are from vancouver #sirius' family is from quebec #his parents are the worst kind of ultra conservative french catholics #and very involved in fringe right wing politics #hence living in ottawa #fun fact: drinking age in ontario is 19 but in quebec it's 18 #so sirius wasn't even being a delinquent when he drank the wine at dinner! #i was afraid i would confuse the brits with the hull reference #trust me the quebec one is nicer
