This is one of those fics that make me happy and sad at the same time. I love how Remus wanted to give Sirius his memories back any way he could. Very, very lovely.

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It is an era I very rarely write (though really need to practice doing more with) and so am glad it is being received well.

Wonderful! I love Ootp fics and the bitter-sweetness of this one is exactly how I imagine that time... thanks for describing it so masterfully. You've done it again!

Thank you. I actually rarely read OotP fics, and write them even less frequently. I am therefore quite relieved that this one doesn't appear out of synch with the rest of the fics about the era. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Firstly, a huge, massive, gigantic thank you for this fic. It's something that I've been looking for for, well, ages. I mean, I've read pretty much every R/S fic ever written (:D) but somehow, this particular fic has always been missing from the repertory, if you get what I mean. It's like I've always known that it is out there, but hadn't been able to find it before. So, thanks for completing my inner collection of R/S.

Anyway, what I especially love about this one is your portrayal of Remus. He's so incredibly IC. And everyone who writes my beloved Moony so well has my ever-lasting admirance and respect.

So, thanks. Again. And keep up the good work.

Thank you for such a lovely comment.

I'm glad you liked how I portrayed Remus and am very glad that my fic has helped to complete your inner collection of R/S fics.
