This was a great use in the prompt and I loved it dearly and I love how you also used the line in the book and took it to another level, something that Remus was battling ever since.

hmmm, I found this website: http://www.inthe70s.com/generated/terms.shtml a list of 70's slang, however I am fairly positive that "Cool" was around and in the context in which you applied it.

Do you have any other stories featuring Remus's sister? If so I would very much like to read them :)

I really liked that line in the book-I thought 'That's definitely going in a fanfic' (right after 'what on earth is that') I'm so happy you loved the story, thank you!! And the list is amazing, makes me really want to write Marauders fic with them going; "Welcome to the Hood, homeslice. Can you dig it?" Thank you very much for it! :D

Remus's sister is an OC I've used a few times. She was 'born' in this fic and MWPP talk about her in this one shot The timing is not the same in both, but there's still a large age gap between them. *is quite happy you're interested in her*

Awww. I liked that a lot... the memories and the struggles...

I like the twist you gave - in the books, Remus says that, running with his friends, the wolf became somewhat less dangerous, more human (I think the word is actually used) - and here you have, under the influence of the very same, the human becoming more wolfish. For some reason I find that fascinating - and also maybe a step to reconcile him with himself. Not that it works quite that way, but it resonates somehow!

I hadn't remembered the thing about Remus feeling more human as a wolf, I must admit. But I do think WPP wouldn't have let him repress the wolfish side as much as he does, so in a way there were both sides operating, and the same happened with Tonks. I'm happy you liked the story, anyway. Thank you for commenting!
