oh lovely. I really love how you depicted their post-Azkaban relationship, making it seem really believable and IC. *loves*

Thanks so much! :)

Aw... Loved it. Now there's this idea in my head the next time someone plays those cards, those Jacks'll have stories to tell the twins about the sexcapades. ^-^;;

HEE. Those four might. They have no shame at all. Glad you liked the fic. Thank you! :)

"Matching earrings." That's funny.

It's such a nice night for them, and they complement each other so well here. Great job.

Thank you! :)

Oh, lovely. YAY!

There's so much about this to love, from the naughty jacks (heh) to the charm. And this -- "Well, I don't want them torn." Hee!

I love it! Thank you so much!

You're welcome, sweetie! It was my pleasure. :)

I’m glad I remembered that your stories are worth defying the R rating. I love the contrast between Sirius’s inner experience when he is alone and the simple way he finds comfort in Remus’s company. You don’t forget about Azkaban, but you don’t make the characters try to get rid of the trauma by discussing it. And the charmed cards offer a hilarious and magical anchor to the wider context, I mean a connection to other people living around them, too. That makes it all more real.

This
how long it would be before his world was too small to move in at all. / He knew that Remus was back when the walls sighed and unclenched
particularly startled me, reminding me of a Greek song which says (in my translation), There used to be space for me in your heart; there’s no space for me in the world (after I’d just learnt that your Remus, too came to England - in 1993? - from Crete. There must be a coincidence here, as I doubt you’ve read Anywhere And Back Again ( ... )

Heh. Most of my R-rated stories aren't all that risque. I just don't want to get into trouble.

Cool lyric. Nice coincidence. :)

I'm really glad that you liked the story. Thanks for the awesome feedback!
