Well I say like Remus - Good Heavens! This was a lot of fun, mixed with important issues! I especially love Sirius , I want to take him home with me and keep him ! Loved it <3

I'm afraid you'd have to share Sirius if you brought him - or Remus - home, haha ;)
So glad you enjoyed this <3

i am supposed to be packing for weekend work retreat and then a long, long work trip, but this got me totally sucked in. sirius and james as djs getting death threats is entirely more interesting than folding business casual wear and finishing my presentation. i just could not stop reading

Thank you so much for your lovely comment!
I'm so glad that you enjoyed this story, and how wonderful that it gave you something fun to think about during boring meetings ;)
So glad that the Muggle version of the boys worked for you!

This was wonderful. I particularly loved the broadcasts and how you brought in so many cannon characters in completely new ways and yet they were still completely intrinsically themselves. Spectacular job. And oh, how you've managed to bring in that distrust from the first war, in however short a span, to briefly impose on their relationship. Such a wonderful job translating those bits of cannon into this new, and fantastically enjoyable, muggle world. Truly delightful read.

Thank you so much for the lovely comment, I'm thrilled you enjoyed the fic :)
It's a lot of fun trying to fit canon characters and aspects in a Muggle setting, and I'm glad this worked for you!

Wonderful concept. James and Sirius make great radio jocks! I like how Remus slowly but surely grew attracted to adult Sirius and your characterization of Sirius. Really creative Muggle AU. When I first read the Harry Potter series I wasn't a big fan of James and Sirius because of how they were as kids but over the years and through Remus/Sirius ship I grew to appreciate many layers of Sirius. And this story fed into that. I also liked how you incorporated the mistrust of Remus - a canon element creatively done, but in this world the characters had a chance to fix it and forgive. I really enjoyed this story. Thank you.

Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed the story!

R/S fandom has made me too understand especially Sirius a lot better, and I'm glad that my take on him here worked for you :)

This was so lovely! Your Remus was such a perfect thing from the very beginning, with his crushed cereal bar and knowledge that he was only there out of charity

Thank you for such a lovely comment, I'm so glad you enjoyed this story!

I really liked that Sirius was so bloody transparent from the get go

Haha, I'm afraid that subtlety isn't Sirius' strongest point :)

it was the lack of communication which ultimately did them in, and so, the fact that you allowed Sirius that forgiveness was something I really loved. A second chance for them both.

I'm so glad you felt this way, and I quite agree. It's like, in canon, I'd like to shake them and put them in a room together and not let them out until they've talked things through - "you've known each other since you were eleven years old, come on, talk to each other!" So in AUs, I want them to have a chance to work it out :)
