You're correct about Dean and Seamus. They both like what you 
stated. I *like* them as a pair, and have nothing against it, I was 
only concerned about where the Slut!Seamus came from. :)
  

 
 K -

Well we know Seamus seems to be fairly outgoing and sociable, also he's
Irish so people assume that an older Seamus is going to enjoy alcohol (not
that I'm implying all Irishmen are drunks but they do have a bit of a
reputation for lively partying and partaking of alcoholic beverages). So we
ve got party-animal!Seamus without straying too much from canon - it's only
a small step from there to slut!Seamus. It's similar to the reasoning that
gives us slut!Sirius - Marauder-era Sirius is young, sexy, long haired, and
owns a flying motorbike ergo he must be the school slut ....

And it's a nice dynamic to write about from a fairly cliched romance pov -
one partner is the outgoing slut, beloved by all the girls and most of the
boys (Seamus or Sirius) and the other is shyer, more reserved aritstic
and/or intellectual and quite possibly overlooked by the female population
(Dean or Remus). So then you can have both of them wondering whether the
other would ever be interested in them and you get a nice dose of angst
leading up to your happy romantic ending (and hot sex possibly) - can you
tell I like first-time fics? :) 

But no there is no real evidence for slut!Seamus at all - for all we know
the outgoing exterior could hide a terribly insecure interior while Dean
could be shagging anything with a pulse :)

What I want to know is what is it about Seamus that leads people to make the
oler version of him a mediwizard? Because I've seen it done several times
and am even doing it myself - the idea does have appeal but I don't know
*why*!
