Hehehe. They're so cute.

[krabapple]

Hee! Thanks! I'm glad someone else notes how cute they are, too. :)

Great story. Ahh, I love when they get together after all the angst.

Your AOL chat icon is hilarious, by the way.

[krabapple]

Oh, thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it!

Hee. I love the AOL icon, too. hidden_w had made a few, and she graciously lets me use this one. I'm a Joan fan, too, so it's a two for one with me. :)

This was painful and beautiful. I love the way you write Remus: self-restrained, tragic, kind, loving and independent.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment, and with such a nice comment, too. I really appreciate it!

This is easily one of the best R/S in Grimmauld Place I've read. The angst heightens the drama and tension, but not unncessarily so, and there's as happy a resolution as anyone is going to get. I liked your Sirius, and way you painted the changes in him. Remus as his boggart, I thought was particularly appropriate, and a very poignant scene.

[krabapple]

Wow. Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments. I'm a little stunned. :)

I'm glad that you appreciate the tension; much of the story was difficult to write because there was so much heartbreak in it. The boggart scene, in particular, was difficult. I knew it wasn't really Remus saying those things, but that didn't make it any easier, especially considering that's what Sirius really thought/feared Remus would say to him if Remus were being honest.

Anyway. Thanks again! I really appreciate the thoughtful comments.

should have reviewed this earlier... but there we are. i've remembered now. at last ;)

love the pixies and the playful way they talk about peter in that part, as if he was just an old friend who was a bit of a prat. also adore your remus/sirius interaction - absolutely perfect.

favourite bit though... (i think i always do this) was about james. the list of the things james would have done in remus' place and then just the accepting that he was dead... just so sad. i miss james so much even though we never really knew him.
*ahem*

i'll go now.

[krabapple]

Oh, thanks so much! I appreciate the feedback, whenever you get to it. :)

We are right on the same page regarding James. It's a little scary how much I love a character we know next to nothing about. I just think, well, that Sirius would miss him terribly, as would Remus. I mean, I do, and well, he's fictional. *ahem*

Anyway, thanks again!

This was just beautiful and heart-wrenching and I couldn't stop reading. The angst is just perfect, and it all reads so well... I love Sirius' boggart, it's saying so much that I've thought and yet I know that Remus will see past and see Sirius. It was just... *sighs* it was perfect and bitter-sweet and just so. good.

Also? The bit about Sirius' memories from his time pre-Azkaban? It's one of the best expressions of the reality of what Azkaban must be I've read.

[krabapple]

Wow. Thank you so much for such complimentary and thoughtful feedback. I really appreciate it!

You and I are both happy that Remus finally came around. :)
