Oh my. You have a very special talent for stories like this - they seem so crazy that they shouldn't work, and yet, yours always do. :)

A wonderful read, as always.

Thank you very much! :) I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

Your fairy tales are the best thing since *racks brain* well, ever! This had everything - love, humour, sadness, suspense - and S/R!

Thank you very much! :) It's nervewracking posting a full-length fic again, and wonderful to get such a lovely comment.

Aw, this is just adorable! *squishes you* I was very sad when Sirius caught the plague and died, but coming back as a dog to look after Remus was just lovely.

Sirius in playful mood, like the time he passed a decree that all Mondays should be national holidays.

I think I could become a monarchist if I lived under the reign of King Sirius!

And they clung to each other as if they’d never let go

*sniff*

Thank you very much for such a lovely comment! :) It was great fun to write, and of course the HP books already have a lot of the fairytale elements in them, which I didn't actually fully realise till the dog turned up.

How delightful!

‘Like two halves of a whole.’ And indeed, Sirius with his black hair and grey eyes, and Remus with his fair hair and blue eyes, were like moon and sun, night and day, winter and summer.

That is the most wonderful description of Sirius and Remus I've ever read. Made me a bit weepy.

I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but I had a good snarfle at Sirius having a grand funeral because it's really sticking it to JKR for doing naught for Sirius.

And I'm so pleased with the way everything worked out.

That's a really lovely comment: thank you very much! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it.

D'you know, I didn't think of the contrast in funerals at all until this second: but obviously my unconscious did! It felt good to give him a proper send-off, and to bring him back as well.
