Oh, the stag joke. Only one better is the Sirius/serious one. Of course Sirius would make that joke.

Of course Remus would understand Peter better than anybody else. Remus is so understanding. I never thought of it like that. I love the way you use Wormtail dying as a different death than Peter dying.

Okay, you just kill me every time with the mention of Sirius being an amputee without James. I see it in the exact same way as you've described here. Two halves of a nonromantic whole.

I liked this. Wonderful Remus POV narrative.

Thanks! I'm not much of a first person pov writer, so this was an early experimentation for me. I do like to think that the death of one of them brought about the death of the next; they were just too close for words.

I think the Sirius and James amputee bit it just something I can't shake. I'm pretty sure I use it in just about every fic with those to in it. I should really try to spice it up a bit, but I love the imagery and emotions that go along with that word that I don't know if I'll ever be able to shake it, lol.

I love the amputee bit. There are certain things that I want to include about Sirius and James or about James and Lily in every fic I write about them, so I understand. And it's really appropriate, I think.
