At first I was a bit put off by how straightforward and rather deadpan everything was, but it fit the story so perfectly. You used words so sparingly that each sentence seemed tailored just for this story. This was a fascinating read.

[callmesandy]

Thank you so much! I do tend to get the 'deadpan' comment often in feedback, I'm glad you felt it fit. :)

[lostrocket]

It fit very well, the whole story drew me in and fascinated me. It's like I'm gushing but being very restrained about it, and this feels strange because I'm not usually restrained. I feel lost without my flailing.

[callmesandy]

Oh, no worries! if you think I was offended, I wasn't in the slightest. And I'm so very very glad you liked it, seriously.

I really enjoyed this. I don't read that many "Sirius back from the Veil" fics, but I think I like your vision of what's beyond the Veil best. And Sirius Black, Private Eye- will there be a spin-off series? Also, best use for Grimmauld Place ever.

[callmesandy]

I liked the idea of Grimmauld Place as the best l'il pub ever, I'm glad it amused. And thank you!

Oh. I like this very much. Everyone seems in character, and all the people here are full of personality without being annoying. Alphard was an interesting way of showing that all evil people are hard-core about it like Voldemort.

And most especially, I loved Sirius here. He's obviously intelligent and focused on one goal, and rather grown up though he doesn't feel that way. Beautifully, simply written.

[callmesandy]

Thank you so much! Sirius getting the chance to grow up was so much fun to write, in a way, I'm so glad you liked it.

Ah. Very plain and wonderful. I loved it. It was fascinating and correct and wonderful.

[callmesandy]

Thank you so much! It was a long time writing, so hearing 'wonderful' is wicked awesome.

[earlwyn]

Superb. Perfect and superb.

I love your blunt style and the idea of the spheres. Very creative. I want to say more and babble on and on about how much I loved it, but it just doesn't seem fitting after reading that. Short and sweet and to the point seems better.

Poor Sirius, eating his sleeves. And Alphard is wonderful. I love that the you can really get to like him and then find out that he invented Crucio but still not hate him for it.

[callmesandy]

Awesome, thank you so much! I'm glad you liked Alphard, I have some fondness for the man. So glad you liked!
