I do like these. I like the one about Peter's hatred of James, and also the one with his feelings about Lily. Hatred of James was my favourite though!

Thank you. I think my favourite is the first one, probably, because people hate so much to be pitied...

I liked these. I know you weren't sure about your Peter but I think these are good. I think my favourite is the Peter/Harry one, even if it IS disturbing. The Peter/Sirius one was very interesting, the short ones were all just as interesting and the Lucius/Peter one was an oddly seductive pairing ...

Definitely not my favourite character to write, but I'm glad you liked them. I'm sure Lucius could tempt me to convert to the Death Eaters, too (or at any rate, I wouldn't mind him trying...).

*grins* Lucius could get me anyday! :D

Ooh, I like the first one, I can well imagine thatpity would be far worse to bear.

Ouch, poor Peter, just a substitute. (Oh dear, and here I am pitying Peter now!)

I'm not sure quite how I feel about the third one, except feeling terribly sorry for Harry! *hugs him*

The casual cruelty of Sirius in the fourth makes me wince - and yet I still can't pity Peter, because he's still betraying them.

Ouch, simple but exact, a single line that seems to showcase the entirety of Peter.

Creepy Peter is freaking me out. :/

Fascinating insight into Peter here, that he knows what he's going into, knows the risks, but thinks the reward would be worth it.

And now creepy Lucius! You write these disturbing things too well.

I can't see why you don't like them though. They're well written, the reason I dislike them is more that you've characterised Peter perfectly and that makes me shiver with disgust.

You'll notice that Peter pretty much never says anything, except in the Harry one. That's because I just couldn't get his voice in my head. I had to go all around the houses looking for reasons for his behaviour, but I couldn't get him to explain it in his own words.

(Incidentally, for very interesting Peter fic, if you haven't read lycoris's version, definitely do! it was posted the same day as this, so if you go back to that day in her journal you'll find a link to it. It was excellent.)

The thing about Sirius in the fourth is that I don't believe he even realises how hurtful he's being. That, I think, is Sirius's problem: he can be cruel and just not see it. Like his behaviour to Kreacher and sending Snape after wolf-Remus.

I just don't like Peter. Urgh.
