"Pillock." And another splash, which hits Remus around the knees. He remembers a time when Remus would have jumped into the bath with him, clothed or not, for a glorious tussle that lead to kissing and sex. Those days are long gone.

He wonders if Remus even misses them.

This is just amazing. I think that it is one of the best things I have read by you in a while. That part is probably the part that hurts the most to read, but is so true which makes it my favorite. The descriptions are amazing and even though it is over 5K, it doesn't seem long at all. This is definitely a favorite and I will be sure to reread it many times. Lovely. :]

Oh, this is just wonderful.
Burn 12GP!
I love the weather, and the bed under the window, and the snow. And Sirius sneaking out, and Remus letting him in the end. And when the get back together over port. Yay!
agreeing to act like it doesn't hurt until it actually doesn't. I did like this, the recognition that it will be, or at least could be, actually okay.

Hello from a longtime lurker who spent much of New Year's Eve reading through the gorgeous sesa stories picking out favorites and trying to guess who did them before you posted the authors' names. Turns out I was wrong on quite a few but I did peg you for this one, though not for the reasons you listed. I was already loving the story for the dialogue, bleak and tense and beautiful mood that you do so very well, and that certain ineffable something you have about your work at its best -- and then the line that erased all doubt was:

He shakes his head, pushes a hand through his hair. "Christ, you're a bastard."Because Remus channels Wilson there, and for some reason I knew you had to be behind it. Those two are my favorites in their canons, and this moment proved how similar they can be when trying to deal with the objects of their affection (Sirius and House, I mean). If you didn't do it on purpose I hope you don't consider this as pointing out a weakness in the characterization because it works very well, and didn't detract from

THanks so much! I'm so glad it works for you.

Because Remus channels Wilson there, and for some reason I knew you had to be behind it.

Heh. You're right. I totally never even thought about it, but you're right, and they are rather similar, aren't they? Men who are very good at the social niceties, who other people think are nice and nondescript and yet who clearly have more going on underneath that surface. And of course, the relationship with the brilliant, flamboyant narcissist. *g*

Thanks again for the lovely comment. I really appreciate it.

This was a beautiful story. I suppose that I always assume that a necessary part of 12GP fic is that is the constant reminders of grim reality of Sirius' imprisonment and future ignominious end. This was different - there was such a sense of hope throughout. I love the way their relationship seems to soak up some of the bleakness of Sirius' predicament. Thank you for writing such a lovely story!

[musesfool]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad that it worked for you and felt true to them, especially in this time period. I think there had to be some hope, or Sirius would have been even worse off than he was, you know?

In this house, the monsters were always real.

Undoubtedly my favorite line in the piece, because it is the best and simplest description of the house I have ever read.

Thank you! I'm glad it worked for you.
