I know, I know. (I'm a huge fan of Remus having some odd coping mechanisms.) But I feel like I need to append a warning: Don't smoke! Really, fags are not cool. And for heaven's sake, the only folks who can use the term in the other sense are gay men themselves. Hopefully no one impressionable reads this journal... M.

This is absolutely brilliant. I read it twice and loved it even more the second time! The misunderstanding makes me laugh and the last line makes me all wibbly.

Thanks, sweetie! I always hope my characters misunderstand but the readers don't. *smile* M.

I should clarify that my reading twice wasn't because I misunderstood, but because I wanted to figure out the actual mechanics of the characters' misunderstanding. Which worked very well! :D

*whew*

*smile* Seriously? I do wonder sometimes if the reason I love befuddled characters so much is that I'm fairly befuddled myself. *tries desperately to hide that from the readers* M.

Okay, I was just getting a bit puzzled about Remus being so up-front, when you sprang it -- lovely piece of word-play. :D
