Title: The Continuing Adventures of Bungalow Bill and the Eggmen.
Character Pairing: Caradoc Dearborn/Sturgis Podmore (pre-slash)
Other Pairings: pre-Ted Tonks/Andromeda Black, pre-Emmeline Vance/Hestia Jones.
Prompt: "fundamental."
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~720
Summary: "Don't put it all on me, Mister Walrus, mate. I get by with a little help from my friends."
Author's Notes: The slash is still not happening, but it will eventually. Blah blah, based on dontsayaword canon; Sturgis is musify's and Ted is venezia's; Emmeline and Hestia are not based on comagirly's or theblev's. Any Beatles references belong to John, Paul, George, and Ringo.
Link to Prompt Table: Over yonder!

( Of the group into which he's assimilated himself, Sturgis is the only one who doesn't get a Prefect's badge, come fifth year. )

A/N: ...I blame this on "P911" and all of its great Reid/Elle moments. For timing, it's right after "In Plain Sight," in my mind. Also: I wrote het? This is so odd for me.

( Elle Greenaway, Spencer has decided, is a truly singular woman. )

Disclaimer: They're all JKR's kids and/or the kids of JKR's kids; I'm just playing with them. Inspired by, with several revisions to, blurred_lines canon and all characters are influenced by their portrayals there. There are too many mentioned to give everyone an individual shout-out, but: Severus is hafren's, Lily is bollywood's, James and Marius are cupcakecalamity's, Regulus is coeur_delanuit, Antonin is musify's, Crouch Senior is parisian's, and Anzhelina is plum's.
A/N: I continue to be a bad person. This continues to be news. Also, this is dedicated to hafren, as it is entirely her fault.

( Although not notably warm, Severus is surely welcoming – how can he not be? )
