THANK YOU! This is just perfect, and EXACTLY what I was hoping for! Lovely Molly/Arthur moments and Sirius/Remus moments, subtle, bittersweet yet hopeful, and great friendship and love. I adore it in every way possible. I read it with a bit of a tear in my eye and a smile that kind of hurt.

Thanks so much!

Oh good!! I'm so glad you like it. I was chatting with my betas before writing this, and they agreed that Sirius and Molly butting heads in OotP seems to be almost familial, the way that brothers and sisters (who annoy one another!) interact. But I love them all too, complete with their little quirks, so I'm glad this version of events pleases you! *smiles*

I very much agree about Molly and Sirius! Personally, my opinion was they sort of used each other to blow off tension and steam. They both like a good fight, and they knew the other could take it. Occasionally they hit below the belt, but I don't think they ever truly meant to hurt each other. Plus, I do think that they respected each other, but they were two strong personalities that needed more space than the situation gave them :) So this version is actually pretty much exactly what I envision, which is why I was so delighted. :)

Oh, how lovely! I really like the everyday-ness of it all, the gentle affection and banter. Made me smile.

Thank you very much! I think the older we get, the more everyday-ish celebrations like this become (or maybe I'm just getting more boring as I age ;). Glad it made you smile!

oh this is sweet :) I really liked the little reconciliation and the light mood of it all.

Thanks very much! As much as I love angst, it seems a little wrong for a holiday exchange, you know? ;)

A very sweet and comfortable gift - for us, too, who don't properly participate in the celebration. Thank you! You wrote the kissing scene so wonderfully that I have to doubt I’ve ever enjoyed an R/S kiss more (and I am an R/S shipper, as I hope you know).

[onehundredmoons]

Thank you! I don't generally get any more graphic than I did with that kiss, so it felt slightly devilish to write. *winks* Thanks for reading and commenting!
