I don't read much of this stuff, but this fic is actually funny and clever, automatically elevating it above the quality of 90% of the fics over at too_old_too_gay. The Sherlock Holmes touches were fabulous, and even Tonks' moments of shouting with Remus were lovely. On that note, thanks for not making her into some crazy kind of desperate whore, either.

Eee! Aw, thank you - I'm so glad you read it and liked it, especially since I know this isn't your usual thing. Sherlock!Sirius is always in good fun, and I'm thrilled it didn't come across as nasty.

My love for Sherlock! Sirius runs both wide and deep and when I saw this on the F-list, I knew I had to read it before bed...I'm glad I did...it was hilarious and fabulous!

I'm so glad you weren't disappointed! ♥ Thank you! (and your icon is cracking me up)

I absolutely loved this. So many wonderful ideas and lines -- far too many to quote, though Here's British Birds for Bent Blokes, Catullus' Catamite, and The Holy War: Boys Gone Wild! does have to have a mention. Oh, and so does And for the first time ever, in an almost entirely un-book-related incident, Remus Lupin fainted. Not to mention
"I love my family," Sirius said fondly. "Forever oblivious to that fine line that separates sibling from spouse."

That last one is almost Wildean, IMO. Basically, consider the whole fic quoted back at you.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

*GLOMPS*

Sherlock!Sirius! And all for me! You own my soul, sweetie. *squishes*

The first little part alone makes me want to kiss you, pond or not.

He wondered if the young Miss Felsted had ever recovered.

Oh, do I remember that one! Almost spit tea over my keyboard when I read that 1.5 years ago.

And for the first time ever, in an almost entirely un-book-related incident, Remus Lupin fainted.

LOVE!

"Dumbledore said-"

The start of many a misinformation... *g*

and had reluctantly agreed to stay at her mother-in-law's home while her own house was being remodeled

Does she have a death wish?!

the robe he had borrowed from Remus billowing behind him much more impressively than Remus had ever managed

There must be a charm for that, I'm sure of it! *lol*

"I love my family," Sirius said fondly. "Forever oblivious to that fine line that separates sibling from spouse."

This is beyond cool! So much beyond cool that there is absolutely no word for it!

I absolutely love the whole thing! Just saying in

[archon_mentha]

Yeah, but, do you like it? *LOL* Just kidding.

I'm so glad you're happy with it. *squishes* And I hope you had the bestest birthday ever! *glomps*

It was a very exciting week, all in all, a lot of stuff happened. But getting fic like this is just the spot of whipped cream on top that doubles the enjoyment. *hugs and snuggles*

You're getting better and better every single day at writing! This is one of the best fics you've ever written, and maybe I'm going to tell you this again for the next one, but who cares? *g*

Here are my favourite sentences :

A Muggle named Sir Henry Baskerville, who'd been passing by on the way to claim his father's cursed estate, saw the canine silhouette and paled, terrified. This is not his story.

The last sentence of this praragraph is totally amazing? I can't tell why, but as soon as I read this, I said to myself :'I'm going to love this story!'.

"May I?" Remus gestured to the books and asked, salivating.

yeah, Remus. I'm going to salivate too if I'll ever see these books' titles, too. *gg*

"I've come back from beyond the grave to hunt down and punish those who would match fuchsia curtains with avocado tiling," Sirius answered, gesturing around the room. "But I see I am already too late."LOLOL, dear God, Sirius is so fabulous here. So canon, and so Xellas's, too. *gg
