This is adorable -- I love it. I'm not even usually that into James and Lily, but you really sucked me in here. :)

aaw... so lovely... it's always nice to read a beautiful James/Lily fic :D

Oh yes. This was so perfect, I have a huge grin on my face.

Your characterisation was wonderful, and so very close to canon which was a delight. You conveyed the changes in James extremely well - I loved the little moments of him pulling his Head Boy act, too cute!

And a side of Remus/Sirius made it utterly brilliant. ~sighs happily~

Absolutely fantastic job. ~loves~

Lovely. I really enjoyed reading this. Its the different dynamics you've presented: seeing James helping the younger students, fighting for what he believes in against the Slytherin, the bit of Remus/Sirius, the fact that Peter is ACTUALLY PRESENT and not an outcast in the group... Its great. I'm saving this to my memories :D You should write more James/Lily :)

I think I got here through a rec by such_heights, and I'm glad I did. This is humorous, wonderfully portrayed, and thoughtful -- which is something I always love to find in fic. Marauders-era fluff is all good and fun, but some writers sacrifice characterisation for the sake of humour: you definitely haven't; you've managed both brilliantly.

Your Lily is a wonderful character in her own right, and your portrayal of the Marauders is perfect. And the R/S shipper in me was very happy with the side dish of puppies served alongside the main course. :)
