Utterly fantastic writing here! My initial feeling is my favorite section is two overall but each one contains some great lines and images. This one for instance, makes me tickled pink:

Even Remus and Peter shift further towards the centre of the table, talking Hogwarts memories and the best way to murder the Minister for Magic with Emmeline, laughter spilling in scraps from their mouths.

Thank you! I love playing around with imagery (sometimes a little too much, if I'm being honest), so I'm glad it worked for you.

I love so much about this story, the structure, the language, Sirius's observations. I feel like I can hear his voice and who he is. The last line is beautiful.

Thank you! And, on a somewhat related note - I think it's awesome that you've already read every single fic for this exchange. Gives extra meaning to dedication, I guess. ♥

I enjoyed the stories so reading them was a treat. I didn't set out to read all of them, and I'm not sure I did. I'm afraid I might have missed a couple. But I love well written Gen stories and I found that here.

Very well-done. I agree with werewolfsfan -- there are excellent bits in each section. But if I had to choose a favorite, I think I'd go with "Three," especially that painful Sometimes, Sirius just wishes it would happen quicker than this

Thank you! Four is my favourite, so I always think it's interesting when people see things in various sections that I don't.

Thank you so much! I love long comments (and wish I had the time to leave them more often myself), so this meant a lot to me. ♥

As for Lily and James, their marriage has always made sense to me (although that could possibly come from being a rather biased Lily/James shipper). They've come out of Hogwarts as a couple and been thrown almost straight into this world, and I think they just needed somebody to help them through it. I love Marlene too, even if she is a one-dimensional character in canon, so I had to work her in there somewhere.
