I'll lick you till you can't stand up

donnaimmaculataI am re-reading Tom Sawyer for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scribbulus_ink's Classic Canon Challenge. "Finally, Tom said: 'I can lick you.' [...] 'I dare you to step over that, and I'll lick you till you can't stand up.'"
I so want to include it in my fic. I really do.
Before I can do that, however, I want to finish my Remus/Bill fic. I popped into my head all finished, structure, title and such, and all I need to do is write it down. Doing quite well, too; the rough draft is written, all that's left is the porn bit. I am not, as yet, sure whether I should make that bit really, really elaborate or not. I was planning on going into detail. Should I change my mind, I wonder?
Bill is not amused, though. I wrote the, ah, climactic dialogue two nights ago and realised that I had Bill go through all this before, when I paired him up with Sirius. He is rather tired of having to shag emotionally repressed men who don't see his worth. Oh well.
I quite like the idea of Bill/Remus. A characterisation aspect of Remus that I feel gets rather ignored, is his sense of humour. Canon!Remus actually smiles a lot. I picture him as being privately amused about things that are going on and the humour of which he is able to see, while others are too wound-up to notice it. (That's one reason, by the way, why I can't see Remus/Hermione. Hermione is not randomly amused. Hermione is scandalised about things Remus wouldn't think so much as worth frowning at.)
Bill, also, has got a sense of humour. He fools around with his brothers, he jokes in the face of Evil ("But Dumbledore says he doesn't care what they do as long as they don't take him off the Chocolate Frog Cards." OotP), and, first and foremost, he seems to be pretty cool about his parents reprimanding him at all possible occasions. In the narrative presence, Bill is in his late twenties, but he still allows his mother to go on about his hair (and earring and clothes and whatnot) and his father to tell him off in front of the Order and the children. Seeing as nothing about Bill indicates that he is too downtrodden to speak up and defend himself (or tell his parents to shut up), I assume he merely smiles and shrugs at their words and goes on about his own business. Pretty much like Remus does, in other respects. I can so picture them sitting at the Order meeting, catching each other's eye and exchanging a fleeting smile at the absurdity of it all.
I can also see Bill flirt with people simply for the fun of it. And I can definitely see Remus being, yes, amused about Bill's flirting with him and tempted to check out how far he can take it. *gets all excited*
I should go back to writing the fic, shouldn't I?
