The Anniversary section reminded me very much of Charles and Erik. I could see Remus and Sirius being that - without the trying to destroy the world bit by whoever was supposed to be Erik.
By the time I got to the Reunion section, there were fresh tears, but bittersweet, good tears. Oh, if onlyAnd good lord, Anticlimax isn't even a what-if in my mind. It's the what-should-have-been. It's the lie I tell myself when I read any Sirius story after OotP - don't think about that damned book, just tell yourself this was the way it happened....You're written it so brilliantly ( ... )

And, yes. The Anniversary section was definately the "Remus and Sirius as Charles and Erik, only without destroying the world" section. Although I think their reasons for splitting up in the past probably had much less to do with politics and than with both being stubborn, stubborn people.
And I wish it had gone that way, too, although there's somewhat less drama that way. But ... oh, Sirius.
