Part 1

I want you
I woke up & one of us was crying
I want you
You said, 'young man I do believe you're dying'
I want you
If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days
You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways

It’s nearly dawn when Sirius comes home. The bedroom is full of cold, blue-grey light,

Wow! Beautiful and heartbreaking. It almost hurt to read, but the good kind of hurt. All the things left unsaid really made it, all the conversations they didn't have.

Just yesterday I was wondering where you'd gone to, and when we'd be treated to one of your R/S masterpieces again.

Jesus. This is just magnificent. I'm in love with your dialogue and your insight. You manage to make them emotional and raw without making them clingy girls, which is no mean feat. They're both perfectly in character and just...ohh. I'd almost forgotten what a really good angst!fic does to me. *is undone*

Perfect. Just bloody PERFECT.

Oh, this was utterly breathtaking. And so very geniune in it's intensity. You crafted such a complex and yet poignant relationship between the two that I felt a lump in my throat about half the time.

And the fact that you told it from Remus' POV and yet painted such complete sympathy for Sirius, was brilliant. Remus with his fears and his silence and his need to prove to himself that he can make it alone - not to mention his need to have a role: caretaker and Sirius and his wild, vibrant intensity and need to be loved, made a fantastic couple. (And, apparently, a very long sentence in review.) It was sad how badly they needed one another and yet still failed to communicate.

Gorgeous.

This is one of the many reasons that we missed you!

"But Sirius, he takes care of Sirius because he could just as soon give up taking care of himself. He takes care of Sirius because he could just as soon give up breathing."

That is what really hit home in this whole fic.
I commend you for being amazing, I really really enjoyed this.

Oh my god, that was just positively amazing. I'm breathless with it. I adore your writing style.
