What a wonderful story! :) I think my favorite thing about your stories is how well you manage to portray the Marauders and their friendship in any situation. They may tease each other but in the end you can clearly see the love and appreciation they have for the other three.

This one-shot had me laughing all the way through. Sirius was probably my favorite with all of his titles for everything: "Tone of Serious Anger" and "Glare of Death" and hehehe "Operation Fluffy, Fluffy Love Bunnies." XD

As soon as Sirius announced that Operation Fluffy, Fluffy Love Bunnies was about to begin, I imagined some sort of big, splashy attempt that would piss James off but ultimately make Lily laugh. I love how you took the other route and just had Sirius, Remus, and Peter be behind the scenes and doing little things to help make the date better. It really helps protray the support they have for their friend.

Anyhoo, I didn't mean to ramble this long. Can you tell I loved this story? Adding it to my fic collection for sure! Thanks for writing it and I can't wait to read more of your stories! :)

Btw...has All Tied Up been finished? Thanks!

Wow, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. It was a lot of fun, as I'm particularly fond of writing Marauder fics. The banter and silly humor between them just flows. And I definitely don't mind long comments; in fact, I pretty much think your review is brilliant! ^_^

As for All Tied Up, no, it's not finished yet. It's actually got a ways to go yet, according to my outline. I sincerely apologize for the long delay in updates--the 8 months or so of real life has been hectic and a bit stressful, so I've been struggling with time and writer's block. But I'll get there, I promise!
