Oh that's creepy. Very very creepy. But bloody brilliant! Your writing in this little drabble is incredible, the imagery is just creepy (sorry can't think of a better word right now) If I feel dirty being in Greyback's mind after just reading it, god knows what you must feel! I just wanted to shout out "for merlin's sake Remus, close the bloody curtains!" Great stuff!

Thank you! As I said this is was a last minute thing, so I'm glad you think it came out well. It seems no matter how hard I try to right nice, fluffy little fics, I always revert back to things that make people shudder. Oh, well. Thanks for reviewing, I'm glad you liked it!

This is delightfully creepy and brilliantly disturbing. I feel like I need a shower after reading it, which is probably exactly what I should feel after being led to skillfully through Greyback's thoughts.

Thanks! I'm possibly the only author here who gets a kick out of hearing that their work is "disturbing". I wonder what this says about me...;)

That just made me shiver. Greyback is one sick puppy.

[freakinwinky]

That he is. Thanks for reading!

Wow -- very effectively chilling! Brrr. This seems like just the kind of thing Greyback might want to do. :/ His fixation on scent and blood is both repulsive and plausible.

I like this line a lot: The expression on your face as you watch her, that of a starving wolf, tells me all I need to know. -- I like it because I think it's possible that Greyback is wrong, that the "starving" he is seeing means something quite different from what Greyback imagines. After all, Remus craves things like acceptance and love. But Greyback can only interpret what he sees through his own twisted mind...

Thank you! I'm glad that you believed I presented Greyback effectively and plausibly. As to the line, I actually never thought about it that way. I guess that's me saying that I'm not as smart as you're giving me credit for. Thanks for that! And, again, thanks for the review!

WOW, I think disturbing is definitely the word! But a good word! The thought of Greyback sitting outside their house watching them...ick! Very powerful imagery. But, I think I may need to go read some fluff before I can go to sleep!

[freakinwinky]

Thanks! I'm happy that the imagery came across well and luckily you have lots of very nice fluff written in this ficathon to wash this bit of dark angst down with. Thanks for reviewing and I'm glad you liked it!
