Patron Saint of Falling Over Things

Writing meme, last seen at penknife.

I'm surprised at how much I wrote this year - though I could have done more. I put last year's yuletide in here, and next year I'll do the same for this year.

( Stories I wrote this year, and thoughts about them )

Summary: The year after MWPP leave Hogwarts, Black family secrets seem to be entangling Regulus. Sirius recruits Remus and Andromeda to find out what and why.

Once Upon a Time in Madripoor

Title: Scatter My Winter Dreams
Recipient: #48, Tabitha Wiggle, aka shaggydogstail
Request: I'd like to hear about Sirius' adventures when he 'flew South' at the end of PoA - where did he go, how did he manage? I'm thinking North Africa would be interesting, especially Morocco or Tunisia, but you could also go with South America, Bali, Indonesia...somewhere hot and not at all like England.

Summary: Sirius has escaped the Dementor's kiss – is he able to leave Azkaban behind?
Notes: Title is from Khalil Gibran's The Madman. Thanks to lilacsigil and youngest_one for beta reading. Written for the 2007 reversathon, here. This was written pre-Deathly Hallows, so there are no spoilers here.
