Brilliant! I love the ending most of all: "An early start to the first day of the rest of his life. And he was ready for it." Absolutely. And, I really enjoy your writing style.

Thank you very much! I'm glad that you like it! =) And yeah, the ending is probably my favorite part as well. I'm quite happy with that line and how it turned out. Thanks for the comment!

*flail* OMG *flail*

I know you've already heard my thoughts on this, but here they are again! Thank you so, so much for writing Blackcest for me, and for persisting with this story when I know it has driven you completely to distraction!

I wasn't expecting plot or angst or Marauders or hurt/comfort and you gave them all to me anyway! I loved your Lily, I can't remember if I told you that. Bryan Adams ftw :)

I love your Sirius-voice. And his forgetting to Apparate up the stairs, but also that he's damn well going to Apparate back down! I loved him being so protective and guilt-ridden over Reg. I loved Reg being friends with Narcissa and Sirius' motorbike having a name and THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR TRANSITIONY BITS :)

Wet dreams and eyes in the mirror and cold showers, I love you, I do. And the lakeside sex was amazing, I loved it. Siriusly. *snert* and you know you have me with Reg having the Mark and Sirius being all wrist-grabby and 'wtf is this??' and such ( ... )

Aww! You're welcome, a thousand times over, of course. =] Thank you for writing ME Blackcest! And Kradam! <3 So much love and awesomeness. AND THE MARLEY BIT. Hee.

Well, I wasn't expecting plot or angst or Marauders... or hurt/comfort either, initially. Then it sortof exploded into... this. =] <3 I'm glad you liked it~ And Sirius! I've always liked writing from his POV, although usually I do it from a Sirius/Remus standpoint. He's so much fun. :]

Glad you liked the wet dreams and the mirror and the cold shower.. .and everything! I don't even know how to respond to this properly. I've never been good at receiving praise. My cue to sit down, shut up and enjoy it? Maybe. <3

The 3:33 came from personal experience actually. I always seem to look at the clock when it's 3:33, either in the morning or in the afternoon. -shrug- I thought it fit.

-glomps- I love you~ And you're welcome. Again. I enjoyed it, even though it drove me mad toward the end.

Here (mostly) via saras_girl's rec. I saw this at blackcest and bookmarked on to-read folder and now, after the rec, decided I should read it tonight instead of next week.

This was a pleasant read. Regulus' reaction to Sirius' moving was very believable, and I liked the way you wrote Sirius' guilt after sex. Image of purifying water was the first thing that came in my mind while reading about Sirius swimming in freezing water. The ending was well done, in my opinion, especially when you know what happens to Regulus.

A cold, betrayed glint.
Somehow that line jumped to me from this fic. No idea why, but I think it described Regulus well in that situation.

Thank you very much! =) I'm glad you thought all that was rather believable - I tried my best. :) Also glad that you liked the swimming bit/purifying bit - that's exactly how I intended for it to be interpreted.

Ohh, you liked that bit too? =D It's one of my favorite parts of the story, coincidentally. Thank you thank you thank you for your comment! You're awesome!

I loved this story. It's sad but very believable. I can almost see this happening. I love how protective Sirius is of Regulus. How much he wants to save him from their parents but not being able to and feeling guilty over it. The letter was so heartbreaking. It was my favourite bit. I am glad they got to have one last summer for themselves.
Great story.
Here via saras_girl by the way :D

Thank you so much! I'm really glad that you thought it was at least somewhat believable - that's what I was trying to aim for. :] And yes, they got to have one summer all for them! <3

Thanks! =)
