Alexis, my dear! 

 

The Basilisk here to leave you another Pass It Along Challenge gift. In the eternal words of George Takei "OH MY."

As this story begin, I couldn't quite fathom what was wrong with Sirius. He seemed to be in quite a bit of pain and all sorts of theories were spinning through my head. I thought perhaps he got kicked in the family jewels, but then he started talking about blood and I was completely lost. 

 

I thought it was quite amusing that it was Remus who called him out on it. It makes total sense that he would be more alert to the smell of blood than the others. 

 

I found it even funnier that he showed his newly pierced package to his friends. I can't imagine the reactions at seeing a swollen, bleeding, pierced member. It certainly doesn't sound pleasant. I'm glad that as a basilisk, I don't have to consider these sorts of piercings. 

 

Excellent story. Off to find a bit more!

Hello! I hope you don’t mind me dropping by with a review? I was browsing the archives and this story popped into my peripheral vision, so I thought; why not?

I was intrigued by the title of the story, and as soon as I’d read the opening lines, I became immediately curious as to why Sirius was finding it difficult to sit down in the train compartment? The fact that he’d called himself stupid was a bit of an eye-opener – he must have done something REALLY foolish to warrant labelling himself in such a way. From the very beginning, though only a few sentences in, his character is clearly written and I have an image in my head as to what teenage Sirius Black is all about. However, what I really yearn to know, is what the blazes he as done to himself, or what someone else has done to him? Has he developed some kind of rapid-onset agonising STD, perchance??

When James and Peter arrive on the scene, I’m torn between embarrassment for Sirius, and a sense of satisfaction that they may persuade their friend to spill the beans about what has happened to him. The fact that he’d got drunk enough to partake in karaoke the night before does not bode particularly well. I have to say, though, that when Remus notices a bloody smell, the story suddenly plummets to disturbing new depths, and – wow – it sure is an effective sense to add in for extra grossness!!

Sirius seemed quite open to the idea of divulging all to his friends. Jackie and her pierced, tasselled nipples! I suppose I should have seen it coming, but you still managed to shock me with the great reveal of a Prince Albert. My poor mind will need bleaching after this story and I think I’ll be wincing for a good while yet, despite not being a man.

Bleurgh Ow Yikes!!!

I have to say, Remus’s final line takes the absolute biscuit, when he asks if it’s meant to look that swollen. I can’t decide whether to cry in sympathy or hysterically.

Well, it’s certainly different!! Superbly written, and it’s made me giggle. Thank you :)

Hey Alexis!

 

I'm finally here with your highly overdue winnings for the First Kiss Challenge!

 

Of course I picked a Sirius-centric story for leaving my first review for you! I'm not disappointed! I'm literally fangirling about this story. What I loved best about it was the dialogues. The exchange between the teenage boys were just so... so essentially boy-ish, something I work so hard to achieve and fail miserably. Love the slang you used here as well. The innuendos, brilliantly done. 

 

I had to google Prince Albert because I didn't know what it was, and Gallopping Gargoyles, the description had me simultaneously wide-eyed and cringy! Poor Sirius!

 

The whole exchange was so typically Marauder. Moony's sense of smell was a brilliant addition! Especially this part made me crack up: 'It’s not getting rat-arsed or singing Muggle songs about Potter’s girl off-key'. The whole story was such a feel good read! Do I detect a slight bit of wolfstar? 

 

Of all the holiday fics I've read, I think this takes the cake! Great job, and got me excited about reading your other work as well :D

 

XOXO

I saw this story once before - and as it did last time, it made me both laugh and cross my leggs in sympathy.

OMG.  This is so different from the other one-shot I read but I think I needed it after that depressing one!

 

I couldn't help but laugh at poor Sirius.  Of course he would be wasted and decide that it was a good idea to do karaoke.  Of course he'd pull his friends along with him.  And of course he'd decide that it was a good idea to hook up while he was drunk.  The fact that he did not understand piercings was funny, but the fact that he liked it was all well and good.  Until the revelation.  I had assumed that the girl he was with cut him, possibly due to an unusual piercing.  I was not expecting the revelation that he had gotten one.  I'm just glad that I already know what that one is so I don't have to Google it.  Yikes!  He must have been very drunk to agree to that.

 

I do appreciate the fact that Sirius Black got tricked by a Muggle.

 

As I said before, I enjoyed this story as well.  The fact that the two stories were basically opposites and both good is an impressive feat.  The comedy seemed very natural and in character for everybody, which I find hard to pull off so kudos on that.

 

Hope you enjoy your holiday(s). =) - R
