So wonderful. I love everything. Desperately want a sequel.

Thank you, I'm so glad ♥. I think I will write one, but it was won't be until the new year.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Please. =)

I will write a sequel in the new year. Thank you :D

OMG! ♥

This was really, really well done. Seriously, it didn't even feel like 25,000 words, and the universe you put us into was both realistic and believable. I loved how James was still James, despite the changed circumstances, and the end was particularly lovely. It was brilliant, and I do hope you decide to do a sequel! I'd definitely want to read more in this universe. :)

Thank you so much, bb! I'm so glad it didn't feel really long because I was worried the length would put people off (which it probably did, but I'm glad it didn't put you off!) And glad you liked the universe because it was so fun writing it, and that you thought James still felt like James, because I was worried he was OOC and more like fannon!Draco or something... I will probably write a sequel in the new year, if I get a chance! Thanks so much for your comment! <333

I didn't think he sounded anything close to fanon!Draco. xD His personality had to be at least somewhat altered to fit the storyline, and I think you altered it just enough that he's still the James we know from canon, only with slight differences. I loved watching how Lily brought out his true nature, though. :D I would definitely love to see the sequel to this!

Thank you so, so much for this, love! It was fantastic, and I definitely found myself wanting more. What happened to Lily and James? What had gone one with Remus and Sirius all the time that Lily was with James (I have my own personal head!canon for that, which may involve much man sex, but....lol)?

This was a stunning holiday gift. Thank you!

starry_laa December 20 2011, 22:02:36 UTC

Yes, in my head during this time, Sirius and Remus would have also fallen in love and had much sex etc, lol!

Thank you so much, bb! I'm so glad you liked it and thanks for shifting through it, despite its length! ♥

Oh, I forgot to say. The one big error I made: when James is telling Lily about Remus' fate, Lily tells him that she told Remus to stay inside the cottage except Lily didn't say that, she told him to leave the cottage .
