Oh my, how awesome was this?!!

I read and enjoy fics from many different genres, but this one, the plotty AU that shows the characters in new, yet slightly recognizable settings, is one of my favourites. Especially when it's so well written, inventive and deliciously long as this one.

I love how Remus and Sirius start out when they first meet - Sirius being all grumpy at first, and Remus being the chill dude. You did a great job showing us how it turned into a game between them - very amusing and sexy.

I also really like the setting and the plot. Remus is perfect doing his Mission Impossibles, and all of the characters were spot on. Peter as a disguise and infiltration expert was very clever, and an early sign that this might turn into something darker. The last scenes in Bulgaria were heartbreaking, yet the ending felt very satisfying.

Awesome work, I loved it!

This is a great story. I love how canon like you made it, although that also made it sad. I want to see Remus doing a handstand on a door frame. I think we all need to keep on your good side, because you could be a bit scary :) I really enjoyed the interaction of the "seasons"

This was lots of fun, and a very clever AU-I loved Dumbledore’s appearance, and your use of the Order and other plot events and characters from canon. Your take on Remus’s past was really original and effective, and I love that you hold off on revealing the details until later in a completely natural way that also brings him and Sirius closer together.

Your portrayal of the relationship between them was my favorite part of the story. I love that it starts off with Sirius being a pain in the arse and Remus handling it so cooly, and how their relationship slowly turns to flirting and then real affection and caring.

The way you handled Peter’s betrayal was spot-on, and Lily and James’s deaths all the more poignant because they had been planning their wedding.

On a happier note, I love the little touch at the end with Sirius buying a dog and telling Remus he’s going to love him-that made me smile.

Great story.

This was amazing :D

I loved the fact it was an AU (and an interesting one at that) but you could still see canon interwoven with it.

I adored their kiss in the snow ♥ I could just picture it :)

This really was a great read :D
