Maybe with a bit of build up to it, to, like, mentally prepare me or something? You know, maybe something like, ‘Hey, you know what’s funny? The fact that oranges are the only fruit that happen to be called the same as what colour they are. Really, they should call apple juice red-or-green-or-occasionally-golden-depending-on-the-type juice instead, if they want to be that way. You know what else is funny? I fancy blokes!’ Would that have been too much to ask?"
LMAO! So funny and cute.
Wonderful, heartwarming and entertaining coming-out and friendship story. Adding this to my recs.

I'm really glad you liked it. Also: Wheeee! I've never been in someone's recs before! (...at least, not to my knowledge) I'm happy and excited!

Mostly NCIS so far but some HP too including yours. ;)

w00t! Thanks for the link. ^___^

This HAS TO HAVE a sequel!!!

Your language is so amazingly amusing and the way you write them is so spot on, I can't help to beg for a continuation. Best pre-slash I've ever read.

cleverboot July 28 2009, 13:57:21 UTC

XD!!!

Yay! I love that you liked it enough to demand more. That makes me so happy. You'll probably get the sequel before too long, too. I'm going through post-writer's block plot-bunny-bombardment, if that makes any sense. They're just leaping out at me! *ducks and tries to hide away in a corner*

kurenai_neko July 28 2009, 15:53:52 UTC

Oh oh, you don't want to help me with my pre-slash-going-into-slash full Hogwarts Marauder area fic? Getting slightly stuck and I love the way you think.

I know exactly what you mean about the plot bunny bombartment. I have the same at the most inconvenient times.

cleverboot July 29 2009, 04:28:51 UTC

Oooooh, sounds intriguing. What sort of help are we talking about? You've gone and gotten me curious. ;P

And yeah, bunnies are great, but occasionally overwhelming. I've recently taken to bringing notebooks with me frickin' everywhere. I even have to keep them colour-coded these days or I make myself confused.

I agree entirely with kurenai_neko! Please write a sequel to this!!
I adored it- really well written, made me laugh out loud on more than one occassion (I love how sirius stole James' thunder about Lily, and when he kicked him off the bed- that was hysterical.). I think that you wrote the characters really well, and came at the subject really well too. =D
Yes, I enjoyed that a great deal, and I do hope that you carry this on, as it is too good for you to leave it just as that.

Thank you so much! ^___^ I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I love hearing that I made someone laugh out loud. It gives me a happy feeling inside.

And yes, I probably will write a sequel--and probably sooner rather than later--or something along those lines. Definitely stuff that happens in this same universe, anyhow. I'm spending a bit of time to ponder it over.

ohhh i was pleasantly surprised! For your first r/s fic this is wonderful!! It's not often that new fabulous authors pop up. This fic is so so SO good! Please continue it, PLEASE! great job! I love how you portrayed the characters and the plot is wonderful and it's perfect!

cleverboot July 28 2009, 13:50:39 UTC

Thank you! Surprising people is fun!

I've written a fair bit of fanfiction before, but not R/S and it's been a LONG time since I ventured into HP-land, so I was a little nervous. I've had this years-long case of writer's block that's only just gone away. So I am really, really glad people seem to be enjoying it. ;P

huntingsnarks July 28 2009, 12:18:07 UTC

Ha, I loved it! So filled with giggles, great fun. :) And Remus handled that better than I expected. Love the dynamic between James and Sirius. Ah, blokey tussling.

cleverboot July 28 2009, 13:46:55 UTC

^___^ I'm glad you liked it! And yes, it seems to me as though James and Sirius would be ultimate masters of the oh-so-manly art of play-wrestling. I just had to put some in there to show off their talents.
