Thank you. I'm as surprised as anyone with regard to how it turned out - I thought I was just writing a cute scene of Sirius bothering Remus and then it became something larger.

Wow. How beautifully sad. You rock. And Elliot! I love that they read him. Lily's honesty in the end nearly broke my heart.

Thank you for the feedback.

When I began that scene with the fist line, I thought, "hmm, that sounds very Eliot" and I just felt it would be awewsome if they were quoting poetry back at them, especially in reference to that part of The Waste Land.

I'm so pleased that you felt for Lily's honesty.

That's a great icon, by the way.

Thanks. Dark_Velvet did it and it was given to me with permission by someone else who I can't remember right now. But yeah it's one of my all time favorite icons. I do wish it had a picture of Lily too though.

Ooh, Lily. Yes. It's just great seeing all the heroic characters of Gryffindor, I adore the Trio and the Marauders are just fascinating, which is why I love reading and writing fic about them.

That was beautiful. Haunting, funny, poignant, all at once. I loved the progression of the scenes, the wonderful little details (I had a roommate once who never washed clothes, just bought new ones to replace the dirty ones and left a huge pile on the floor--yet he'd drive me to the laundromat every week or so.) and especially how you mix up the concepts of truth, reality, lies and dreams into one wonderfully jumbled pot. Well done, my dear.

[regala_electra]

Thank you so much.

The little details were really important, I wanted it all to be about the little things, that's really the sticking point between Remus and Sirius. Even in the books, what caught me, the subtext if you will, are those little moments between them - Lupin watching Sirius for some 40 lines in OotP, the fact that once they realize they'd suspected the wrong person in PoA, they pretty much are of one mind, that all fascinates me and I wanted to do something with it, hopefully something somewhat believable.

Oh, dear, that's me rambling. Well, suffice it to say, thank you for the feedback.

[magistera]

oh my god. I have absolutely nothing coherent to say. That was gorgeous and heartwrenching. I got all teary during the "Regret" scene and stayed that way through to the end (although I wasn't sure, at the end, whether they were unhappy tears or not).

[regala_electra]

Narnia! Now I'm going to start crying.

Thank you for the feedback and I'm so pleased the story moved you. The ending's a little bit of both - happy and sad, real and unreal, a dream and the shock of being awake.

You tell stories in a way no one else does, and it works, brilliantly. Love this.

[regala_electra]

Thank you for the feedback, and I'm so happy the story worked.
