I really love how you've portrayed Remus - especially his dialogue and mannerisms! The fact that they were both obviously experienced without falling into any of those cliches was very nicely done. Both of them, Remus and Sirius, felt very real to me.
One of the things I love most about this pairing is imagining the many different ways they can be written and portrayed, and still have it ring true and resonate within me. Because, when it comes down to it, we really don't know much about these characters at all - which means the way I perceive them is always fluid, with multiple possibilities. Originally, I had a certain picture of them in my head, but the talented authors in this fandom have allowed me to expand my perceptions, and I love seeing all of the interpretations. (Well, not all *g*) There are certain authors who I feel capture these 'possibilities' quite well, but in the same sense, I can never completely nail down one particular characterization and say "Yes! That's them absolutely, and all the others have it wrong

Finger charms Those sound like a brilliant idea! May I use it?
Well, the sub-plot had to go, it was plain silly, at least in my opinion. It didn't even make it into the version I sent off for beta-ing, to be honest. But I do have another fic in the making that is about music. It's strange how music is lacking in the books, isn't it? The only live music we had so far were the Weird Sisters in GF, if memory serves.
*not falling for your attempt at distraction AT ALL* You're so done for with the 'Siri' thing, my dear... *GGG*
I would so love to have the use of "bow charms." It'd make playing so much easier...
There's not much I can say that hasn't been said already *glances at midnitemaraud_r's comment*, but I wanted to add my appreciation anyway. Beautifully written.
Ah, totally forgot the bow charms. Yeah, they'd be great, wouldn't they? I used to play the piano myself, and when Pictures of an Exhibition fell into my hands again, I thought about what it would take to adapt it for strings, and I drew a total blank for the Muggle world. *grins* It had to be charms or a different piece. :) I'd actually love to see someone playing with their bow charmed...
I loved the fact that Remus is not girly in this fic! And that neither Remus, not Sirius are silly puppies!
I like fics were they are portraited as silly puppies, but I like even more to see them as, more manly. it is much more realistic!
I like that in your fic none of them is the dominant side. They are equals! also loved the fact that Remus is so intuitive and knew exactly what Sirius wanted to say or do! Also liked the fact that remus has a sense a humor!
Very good job! You should try to continue the fic!
Thank you very much for both reading and commenting.
I loved the fact that Remus is not girly in this fic! Yeah, Remus is often portrayed as such a girl that I checked myself every other sentence for going into that direction, always hoping I wouldn't fall into that trap.
I like that in your fic none of them is the dominant side. That's one of my biggest pet peeves, actually. I see them involved in constant negotiation about dominance, and I'm very happy that you picked up on that.
Very good job! You should try to continue the fic! I will, or rather: I already have, but it'll need beta-ing before I can post it. :)
