I loved the dialogue throughout the fic! It's really well done and in character. Also, the politics you've incorporated were interesting to read about (I never miss an opportunity to enjoy fics with First War politics). Domestic pups are the best! Well done. :)

This was great! I've always seen Sirius as an activist, and I rather imagine that he'd fancy himself some sort of revolutionary. But a queer activist? Even better! And he was a darling queer activist, to boot.

Remus, too, was adorable. I loved the subtle combination of tolerance and pride with which he treated Sirius and even the issue itself. That seems very fitting for, whether it be about sexuality of lycanthropy, poor Remus is always facing some sort of prejudice. Yet he's strong and you show that well.

And the ending was perfect. Remus was still tired and aching, and in a moment or two Sirius's weight would be too much for him and they'd have to do some awkward wriggling, but in the meantime Sirius was warm and familiar and here, and more than capable of chasing fears of the future away. The radio hummed on in the background, unnoticed. I like that it really showed that, at least on one level, Sirius was doing this for Remus (maybe even so that he could teach), rather than just making a universal point.

Well done.

Thank you so much!

Yay, I'm glad you picked up on that - it didn't quite fit with the story to explore that further, but it was definitely on my mind as I wrote.

I really enjoyed this. I especially like Orion's response. It seemed so in character with the attitude of no unseemly displays in public. :)
