Oh, wow! I love to read about just-out-of-Azkaban Sirius, and this is a really, really wonderful glimpse into his head just after the swim. The fact that things seem simpler to him as a dog than as a human is so fantastically done, and I loved the sensory flood that comes when he changes back, surprised at how full of color the world is--that was a gorgeous line, and the strangeness Sirius feels at remembering things without having to fear the Dementors is such a great detail.

Sirius remembering Remus and wondering whether he'd ever gotten the garden he wanted or if he still had the old habits he used to just hurt so much; I love that you've conveyed the sensations of love and regret and longing as the memories and the physical world start to seep back in. This is such a vivid picture of memory and the feelings it sparks!

Oh, oh, wow. Sirius on his first day of freedom. From the unremitting grayness of Azkaban to the flood of sensory information that is the world. What an apt use of the five senses theme!

For me, Sirius remembering Remus and then wondering if Remus got his garden was very poignant. Great interpretation of the prompt.

This was such a wonderful piece. Sirius' amazement at the world around him now that he's free, and yet, he can't enjoy it at all without thinking about Remus and whether or not he's happy. It was incredibly painful to see just how intrinsically linked each of their happiness was in Sirius' mind, and yet it was all touched with that wonder of freedom. Incredible.

Post-Azkaban Sirius is one of the most heartwrenching things, and this was wonderful in the way it captured his emotions. I found the part where he can allow himself to remember without fearing the dementors a particularly powerful image. And him wondering about Remus, oh, my heart. Fabulous work!

Right - to continue the guessing. Uhm, pica_scribit?
