This is lovely and lyrical, especially the fourth section, where Sirius waits for Remus in the afterlife.

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. :)

*sniffle* Such lovely snapshots of everything that is home for them. And the last little bit. *clutches heart* But so NOT DEAD! *sniff*

[krabapple]

Awww, thank you!

I know, I know. Not dead. But the Hades thing . . . damn JKR!

[melandry]

Sniff, sniff. This brought tears to my eyes. This is so balanced and thoughtful and the fourth part, of course, is the one that got me.

[krabapple]

Oh, thank you. The feedback was lovely, and I'm glad you enjoyed the fic.

Oh! Thank you so much! This is so so wonderful! I sort of guessed where you were going, but when I got there I wasn't prepared at all. Oh, Sirius! Loved the images and the particular bits mentioned, like the book shelves and sheets and pillows -- all the little things people so close think to include for each other. The entire thing felt very familiar and intimate, which I loved SO MUCH.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[krabapple]

You're welcome! I was so nervous about it, so I'm glad you liked it! :) Yay!

This is gorgeous - quiet and subtle and full of love and hope and resignation. Sigh. Lovely.
