oh, excellent start to the Games! since i'm a participant (team canon ;P) i can't vote, but i can certainly comment and say how much i enjoyed this! this is such a unique story, told from the pov of Sirius' bedspread, and it really hooked me! you put a very different spin on things, and i LOVED the little detail at the end of Lily and James moving into the flat.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful comment! I was a bit worried that this fic was slightly out on a limb for a puppyshipper fest, and you can imagine how happy I was to find this topping (or technically bottoming!) my inbox. *many hugs*
I was so worried Sirius would have gotten convicted - this is compelling storytelling, tight and fluid and descriptive, and I loved how creative a narration angle you went in from - the bedspread's description of Sirius is so *loving*, so tender, so fraught with admiration and care and the desperate wanting to see him happy - and this is going to sound so silly, but I felt completely in-sync with her.
Frankly, it is amazing how you made this prompt work with the setting that you have established - I never would have associated yellow, and all that it inspires, with a murder plot and trial - I want to say I felt sorry for Dora, but then she completely got under my skin, and not in that good way - I like how your bedspread is in turns innocent and knowing, and Dora, seen through her eyes, seems redeemed somehow, if only a little.
I was a bit worried about the colour association, but in fact the bedspread as forensic evidence was my very first bunny, if bunny it can be called, and I like to think it was sunny enough in its way to carry through a few of the right associations.
Oh wow, what an awesome start of the Games! I can't vote euther, but it's a good thing, because I would have given you the highest scores and thus betray my team :) Just kidding. Not about the highest scores, though. I love the plot, was not expecting anything like that, so original and really, really interesting. I was worried that Sirius was going to prison, then I was worried that Remus was ging to incriminate himself and take the blame, and then you made it all better, and everything is now well in the jungle. I went to read another story and got hoplessly confused because I kept forgetting this was not a bedspread POV anymore :) Loved the narrator, by the way!
Thank you very, very much! :) The narrator rather took over my life for the time it took to write the fic, and I got to the point of chatting happily to inanimate objects all over the house. Lucky they didn't take me away... :D
Such a great start to the biggest event in my year, the rs_games! Your entry is creative and well crafted. The characters recognizable even while this is definitely an AU and exciting to boot! I was really worried during the trial. And kudos for a scenario that I haven't read in this corner of the fandom before. P.S. The line about the bedspread being faded and feeling tighter after the hot water wash was my favorite until I read about the new couple moving into "her" flat!
To be honest, I was a bit alarmed when this was put up first, because it's not exactly a cosy, puppyshipper fic. I'm just relieved it got a reasonable response. And I'm so glad you liked the line about the bedspread being faded...some heartfelt writing there! :D
What an inventive fic! I've never read anything like this in fandom before, and I found it to be thoroughly enjoyable. I'm really interested to find out who you are... : )
