Oh, I like the very much! And I would really love to read more stories in this universe. I like the idea of them on the frontier, it seems to fit very well. And good for Sirius for getting an elk! That's not an easy task, always.

And I really loved this sentence: In the night one of them had drug the bearskin up over them both and the heat of their sex and the fire’s glowing embers had trapped beneath it and he felt it reactive between them and spreading like sunlight. so pretty!

Ooh, this had a lot of really lovely descriptions in it. You set the scene so nicely! And the idea of them on the frontier is so interesting and unique. Great fic.

This is the kind of warmth you want to wrap around yourself and sink into--and having the context for some of what led up to this makes me want to wail honestly, which is a very common thread with you, but it's such a thrill to see them as older men with something to hold on to. The sense of togetherness and homecoming are almost tangible, and I keep coming back to that line about everything they own and don't own but they're trying to keep, because that's just it; there's so much love to this.

Now I'm so curious about the original story! This was a lovely slice of life--hardly any dialogue or overt affection but so many hints of shared intimacy. Enjoyed! M.

Oh, what an interesting time period to set them in. Your descriptions are lovely, and even with this tiny little snippet out of their lives you can very easily see the setting and them in it. What a lovely job. And the lost arm, what a fabulous translation of werewolf into this setting. I particularly loved Sirius begging Remus to roll his cigarette. It was such a Sirius thing to do, and such a small thing that says so very much about their relationship, especially when Remus gives in so easily. Very sweet and lovely. Wonderful job.
