[Art] - Young Men and Their Gangly Limbs

[kasche]

Title: Young Men and Their Gangly Limbs
Characters: Remus, Sirius, Lily, and A Cake.
Rating: G. Mostly. PG for some half-naked boys? And a almost kiss? Which is apparently the only kind I can draw?
Notes: This is for sheafrotherdon and spacedye_vest, who are hands down two of my favorite persons in the whole wide world. And no, I'm not exaggerating. Incidentally, they're also illustrations for Young Men and Their Gangly Limbs. ...the pics, not Cate and Ni. (Ha, ha, ha. Oh god, make me shut up.)

As usual, click on the miniature pics to see the whole thing. :3

Young Men and Their Gangly Limbs A wonderful story by sheafrotherdon

"Mmmmm. So – " Sirius leaned in and slid a hand up the back of Remus' neck, pulling him in and kissing him fervently – a kiss that was wide-awake and messy and sharp, drag of lips and nip of teeth. He pulled back and wiped his mouth on the back of his hand, grinning a little wildly. "Happy Birthday," he said. Remus blinked, pupils blown wide, and nodded dumbly. "See you 'bout four?" Sirius said, fingers flexing in Remus' hair, scratching gently against his scalp. Remus nodded again. "Brilliant," Sirius said, and let him go. Remus bit his own lip, flushed a charming shade of pink, and slipped out the door. "Score," Sirius said under his breath, and did a little jig down the hallway on the way to the kitchen.
	"I knew it," she said, sighing as she stepped through the fireplace. "I knew you'd fuck yourself over." "Mmmmph!" said James. "Evans!" Sirius added. "Oh Evans, goddess, witch among witches, I love you." "Yeah, yeah, you and your very small prick," she said charmingly. "Don't talk to James that way," he chided. "He's very sensitive." "I was talking about you," she said dryly, leaning over the back of the couch.
"Hmmm." Remus carefully slid a finger beneath the spellotape at one corner. "Oh for crying out loud," Sirius said. "It's not as if we'll use the paper again, just rip it!" Remus arched an eyebrow and, even more slowly, slid a finger under the tape at the other corner. "GAH!" Sirius exploded, and grabbed for the parcel, ripping at the paper indiscriminately. Remus grabbed it back. "Mine!" "Open it!" "I am!" "Open it quicker!" Remus hugged it to his chest. "Sirius – "
	Remus shifted closer, half-covering Sirius with his body, sliding a leg between Sirius' thighs. "Am I now?" he asked, nibbling a path up Sirius' throat. "Hmmm," Sirius said. "Def'nitely." "Can I have my real present now?" Remus whispered. Sirius opened his eyes – when had they fallen shut exactly? – and looked up at Remus. He was smiling, the tiniest bit drowsy around the edges, but smiling with an affectionate want that made Sirius' belly flop over and his fingers itch to touch. "Real present?" he asked, wetting his lips.

There! These should have been done, oh, an awful lot of time ago. The Lily I did back in... December? Maybe? I know I was working on the couch pic while I was also doing Back Alley, the almost-naked one is dated February... and finally Sirius a week ago. :P

Drawing a bit more, ain't I? Well... the last eight/nine months have been awful, when it comes to that. I think I might have gotten myself out of that, and now I'm trying to catch up on all the things I've planned/wanted to do/promised and didn't deliver (which is the worst). Wish me good luck? ;P

*thud*

I have nothing coherent to say. I love this fic, and now there are illustrations, by you, and nnnghh. Lily! *flails* And oh my, the look on their faces in the penultimate one is so wonderful and I'm now this pile of flaily goo on the floor.

I've already done lots of squeeing about these, but I always can do some more:

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I love them. Sirius is the most adorable, sexy thing ever and Remus with Sirius? *dies* Gorgeous, and Lily is lovely and CAKE!

I LOVE these and I love you and how the hell am I ever going to be able to thank you enough for all you've done for me?

I LOVE YOU (and Cate too, that fic made me - still makes me- so happy!)

PS: Yay for Barrowman, now you just need to watch TW!

OH, these are so, so fabulous--I especially love Sirius's precarious pajama pants and Remus clinging to his gift, heeeee! :D

[midnitemaraud-r.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous as always, my dear! I love the "real present" pic, of course, but the one with the actual present - I love how Remus is clutching it and all "Mine!" while poor Sirius looks so exasperated! :)

[reconditarmonia.livejournal.com]

eeee. ^__^ The almost-kiss one is gorgeous...but I think I like the one with Remus and the box best. :)

[sinklikeastone.livejournal.com]

here from remuzxsirius, and i definitely must read this!
also, am madly in love with that first picture. madly.

[happi-feet.livejournal.com]

Yay for more kasche-art! Oodles of kasche-art! kasche-art twice in one week!

BTW, where are all those quotes from? I'm pretty sure I've read them all before, but having illustrations now makes me want to go back and read them again.

[werewolf-lib.livejournal.com]

Love, love your Lily!
Her eyes and smile are so full of cleverness and personality. I see her too often as just a pretty face accented with total goodness and it's nice to see her looking like she can take care of herself and that rowdy Potter boy and his friends.

[euphony-of-love.livejournal.com]

This is absolutely amazing. Love it ALL! ^_^

(Sorry for being so incoherent, but right now I really am speechless! xD)

Oh, and good luck on drawing more of such wonderful stuff, of course! ; )

[theemdash]

How appropriate. I just read this fic yesterday. &hearts

I love Remus clutching the present. And Sirius's face in that frame, part eagerness, part disappointment, all adorable.

[jazzonia.livejournal.com]

*dies at SEXY SIRIUS*

[azureflight.livejournal.com]

So much life and expression and joy in here. Yay. :D

[tresa-cho.livejournal.com]

Oh they're gorgeous! Love them.

[spacefragments.livejournal.com]

wow this is really nice. i like the overall design of the thing, it's like a mix of a comic and an illustrated story. i love the third drawing!

[ekaterin24.livejournal.com]

EEeeeeeeeeeee!!! (aw heck, there aren't enough 'e's in the world--let's just say, major squee!)

All so wonderful! What they all said above about everyone and, of course, the cake! Saving this to memories, especially for R&S in bed!!

[vicious-lullaby.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, Remus clinging to his present is just about the cutest thing ever. XDDD And the last picture of the boys is all kinds of sexy. Eee. ♥♥

You really do draw the best puppies I've ever seen. ^__^

[mindabbles.livejournal.com]

Oh my. These are all just wonderful. You can see the bit of a swagger in Sirius' step in the first and of course the last is just delicious.

[hannio24.livejournal.com]

Everytime I see one of your pictures a massive smile comes to my face and I am only capable of making a squeeking sound much like a mouse's tail being tread on... please don't stop however embarrassing the sound is, your pictures are worth it!!!
