I often find it hard to like first person POV, but you wrote it so well that I really got involved in this story. Remus' sadness really comes through, as well as his sense of responsibility to Tonks and Teddy. Sirius is so helpless but you know he'll take as much of Remus as he can get, even if it's not all of him. A great read. ♥

I'm glad this worked for you - I know that first person may be not the most popular POV, but this fic just wrote itself.

Thanks for reading.

Intense first-person narrator pov. It's fascinating to see how you incorporate "gay werewolf"-themes, how Wolfsbane can keep the wolf at bay, but not Remus' need for Sirius. In a way I am glad that haunted love triangle could never happen in canon, for - poor Tonks. Poor Sirius. Poor Remus!

Thank you very much. I am, too, sorry for all of them - I don't know which one has the worst fate.

oh wow that's so angsty & dark, but brilliant

[westwardlee]

Thank you! ♥

Poor torn, trapped Remus, and poor Sirius. He has all of Remus' heart, but can't have him in his arms when he needs him. And as much as I dislike Tonks, I do feel sorry for her living in an empty marriage. Nicely done!

[westwardlee]

I don't mind Tonks - actually I like her a lot with either Charlie or Kingsley - but I hate the idea of R/T very, very much.

Thank you - glad you liked it.

*sniffs* So beautifully sad. Poor Sirius ♥ Poor Remus ♥

Great job! :)

[westwardlee]

Thank you - such love triangles are very sad indeed.
