Oh! Oh! ::claps hands:: I've been looking forward to this! I've been catching up on previous small gifts years and fell in love with your other works. Elucidation Practice is now one of my favourite fics ever. (I left a gushy comment about it on AO3). I will read this happily!

Oh my goodness! Another lovely piece from you! I, sadly, don't have time to get to this whole thing today, but I'll get through it section by section.

I adore your work, (your use of language always makes me feel like I'm not qualified to leave real comments on it) so this made me extremely happy to see. And so far it's totally living up to what I had hoped. I can't wait to see where it's going. I want to know what is happening in their home!

Oh, and Lily! I've gotten so used to either Sirius or Remus going to her for advice... and her giving it. This was so much better. Must more realistic, IMO. And Sirius being so jealous of Dearborn, yet still going to bed with him effectively to see what he was up against. That's such Sirius logic.

I'm just sad I probably won't get to the rest of this till next week. But I'm thrilled to be able to get to it eventually.

This first part has taken my breathe away. Your language is so descriptive and vivid... incredible. I'm in love with your characterization of Sirius. <3
