Absolutely beautiful! Wow, I love this so much. Gorgeous and painful story and lovely art.

Wow, this is gorgeous! I'm not sure what I should praise first. Your beautiful style, the composition of each single drawing, your use of colour and negative space? Doesn't really matter, because I probably love them all equally anyway. And furthermore, it's powerful and heartbreaking, the whole package really. Saying well done is rather an understatement in this case, but I'd like to say it regardless. Well done! ♥

I stumbled on this, perusing my flist, and wow: it has shocked me right out of my fannish distractions for the evening. This is stunning, heart-breaking, incredibly powerful. I have never seen such an interpretation of the canon events, and it boggles my mind to read between Remus' lines. The last image, Remus' pained refusal to forgive, highlighted by the lightning bolt, is absolutely breath-taking. *bows*

omgosh, this is gorgeous. So vivid and evocative.

This gives me so many feels and it tells the story in such a short, beautiful way. For some reason the line "And then, he is cruel" with the stark black and red really gets to me the most. Well done!
