This was utterly fantastic! The dialogue, the characterizations, the plot - absolutely perfect and beyond entertaining! I'm absolutely, completely and totally in love with this story!! Brilliant!

Thank you so much (and thanks too for reccing on your LJ). It was a blast to write, and I think that comes across in the reading of it. I tried to infuse that wacky hijinx/Shakespearean comedy of errors/romantical comedy spirt into it (mixed in, of course, with just a touch of porn).

I'm so thrilled you enjoyed!

OMG, this was hysterical. I loved all the lines that have already been brought up, but also this line:

Sirius reached out and pressed his palm against Remus’s back. “I have a plan.”

“Oh, Christ.” Peter pulled his curtains closed, ducking for cover - though because of Sirius’s proclamation or the centerfold, no one could tell.

Anytime Sirius flirted with James I nearly fell off my chair laughing... His arrogance proper pride has no bounds. But poor Moony, I could see the little hints of jealousy all over the place... but at least he got the boy in the end. =)

Hee - I'm going to assume that last line wasn't an *intended* pun. I'm so thrilled that you liked it. I had too much fun writing it. I might have to give up the angst and go for the goofy romantic comedies all the time. Hee!

::Groans:: No not an intended pun... keep mixing it up, you're too good at writing both!

I don't think I could actually exist on a steady diet of romantic comedy. Slowly but surely they'd turn blacker and blacker and then there'd be angst.

Thanks again!

Buahaha! This was hilarious and adorable, I loved it.

“How can you say that? My brilliant plan didn’t end up in anyone bursting into flames, no one’s hair singed off, and absolutely not a one of us has detention. It’s been a glorious day for the de facto House of Black.”

This has got to be on the top ten list of Sirius lines in fic ever. A gold star for you.

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it. Sirius is too much fun in this one, I think. *adores him*

Oh, splendid! I especially loved Sirius teasing James.

“How do you think I got this scar on my left forefinger?”

“Certainly wasn’t from buggering me.”

“Shut the fuck up, Sirius.”

*laughs and laughs* You have all of these characters written so hilariously and believably here. Bravo!

They were so much fun to write - I'm glad that's come across in the reading. Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed it!

This story is wonderful, and your Sirius is simply brilliant. Much love. *recs it on her journal*

romanticalgirl August 6 2005, 11:27:19 UTC

Thanks so much! And thanks too for the rec! I'm glad you enjoyed it. And, just for the record, I am not re-writing this from Sirius, James and Lily's POV. I'm not.

And *adores* your icon!
