I have to shamefully confess I've never read Ivanhoe *bad me*
What was your first slashy source, then? 1984, bizarrely enough. Studied it for English Lit and was massively um intrigued...by the O'Brien/Winston interaction.
Poor little Peter, indeed. I hope Argus'll be nice to him. Yep, pretty much. It would be too easy to make it a 'nasty Filch abuses poor innocent Peter' thing so I'm hoping it succeeds in being more interesting than that.
Well the Remus/James is a little odd. I took an idea about the room of requirement not being guided by normal morality to work it around, I just hope it works out. Sort of an extension of the 'beware of magical things when you can't see where it keeps its brains' idea. What people need isn't always what's good for them / morally acceptable / what won't interfere with other things going on.
