I like this much better than Rowling's werewolf lore. *g* Lovely balance of emotions!

Thank you, and thank you for the beta work! *g*

I always write Bill as 'not quite a werewolf', but I like the way you've portrayed him here. Well done!

[cruisedirector]

Thank you! A couple of times I've wanted to play with the idea that Bill IS a werewolf, but unlike Remus, he has never had to experience being a werewolf without Wolfsbane, so his sense of himself is really very different.

OMG HP fic from you!! Love the universe this weaves -- the Bill/Fleur bit especially is pretty much my personal canon/fanon for them. :) And the werewolfness... *shiver* I love the idea that Greyback helped Bill find Remus. Not to mention that this pairing will always make me so happy. ♥ !

Thank you! *bounces* I've never written Bill/Remus before properly, only RPed them, so I borrowed thescarletwoman's Bill/Fleur fanon to some degree since we were writing it together. I did want Bill to be a full werewolf, though never having experienced that without Wolfsbane, so he's not nearly as scarred by it as Remus. I do think Fenrir would come for Remus every time...
