Ooh, I love the contrasts and the paralels between the two drabbles. Gorgeous imagery <3 Lovely job and a heartwarming ending. I really felt bad for and happy with Sirius!

Aww, thank you so much! So happy you enjoyed :) ♥

These are very nice indeed! Lovely job with the imagery: he's locked away in the first, with a house and a family that don't care. The greyness of November is as depressing as the day itself. And then in the second, how very different this family and world is. This family cares a great deal, he knows they do, and this November birthday is exhilarating - love him smiling as he forces a crack in the ice.

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed, and that the imagery worked for you! ♥

Oh, yes, I love this theme of chosen family. And so much humor and warmth just in those couple of sentences exchanged between Sirius and James!

("Sometimes, he dreams about the world outside of Grimmauld Place" so perfectly sums up Sirius both as a teenager and when he's stuck in the house again in OotP...but let's not think about that right now!)

Oh yes, I do like that theme as well, so very much of Sirius is about the family he chooses versus the one he was born into.

Ah, him being stuck in GP both when growing up and in OotP is heartbreaking, indeed. Let's think about his happy birthdays instead right now ;)

Thank you!

Thank you so much! ♥ These are wonderful. I'm so glad you were able to overcome adversity annoyances and post these after all. :D

As unicorngirl22 says, the contrasts here are wonderful. Two kinds of family. A wish to look outwards, versus a feeling that everything he needs is already there. Two cold grey days, but one is dreary while one is fun (I love cracking ice like that, too!). I'm so glad Sirius had James and the others to be family for him. (At least for a while...)

Thank you so much, I'm really glad that you enjoyed! :) It's heartwarming to think about how Sirius' birthdays at Hogwarts must've been compared to the ones back at GP12 (and then it was time to stop before we followed him on grown-up birthdays...)
I'm glad I could post you a little something after all :D
