*MELTED*

Wah. *sniff*

Dunno if I ever told you that the way you characterize everyone always sticks in my mind as the way everyone must be characterized. Somehow you make them more real for me than any other author does. Dunno why, but there it is. And sometimes I catch myself thinking that fics that contradict the MC-stuff you've written so far are uncanonical. Weird. But anyway.

Perfect, as always.

That icon is so cute. ^___^;;;

And sometimes I catch myself thinking that fics that contradict the MC-stuff you've written so far are uncanonical.

I don't mind that... Yes, Sirius really had a sister! Yes, Sirius and Remus are desperately in love and often unable to articulate their feelings! Yes, they had an idyll in Scotland before everything fell apart!

One of the many reasons I can't reread OotP is because Electra isn't mentioned in it at all. It's so weird, but she's become so real to me. O_o

Anyway, thank you so so so much!! ^___^

I loved the first story. Too lovely. And the second one... I always liked the idea of Sirius' dead sister and it was great how you used all these flashbacks to illustrate the relationship beteen Sirius and Elektra and Sirius and Regulus. :-)

Thanks. :)

I'm so glad the flashbacks were clear... I hate playing with tenses so I'm always worried when a story calls for it. Whew.

These are perfection.

Sirius does not realise that he has already given himself to Remus like a love letter, sealed his heart against any other possibilities, addressed and delivered himself without hope or desire of returning.

Gah. I love your Sirius...he's suitably complex. I love that he's aware of the presence of his emotions, but unable to articulate them aloud, or really name them.

"Left Unsaid" broke my heart. I love the whole if-only feel to Sirius and Reg's relationship.

There was a breathless moment when neither was holding anything except the other.

*Fangirls*

Thank you! ^___^

I love the whole if-only feel to Sirius and Reg's relationship.

*nod* They're both so young. I think they're both wishing/hoping the other will come around first, but Sirius has his pride and Regulus has the pressure of his parents. :(

So glad you liked the Reg/Char cookie! I saw your pictures just as I was finishing the story, so I got to squeeeee too!

Oh Jesus! That letter. So beautiful and sincere.

I´m reading Regulus Arc and you know what? The first time I read about Electra it was interesting cause I always thought that Sirius had a sister. Not youngst but older. I dont´know why. I feel like she will show herself in future books.

Great job! :)

thistlerose May 2 2004, 09:54:21 UTC

Thank you. ^__^

I always thought that Sirius had a sister. Not youngst but older. I dont´know why.

It's in his behavior. Someone had to have taught him how to love, and I think it had to have been an older person. He acts, in my opinion, like a middle child. I like the idea of a sister because all of Sirius' other important relationships (romantic and platonic) are with men.

Sirius's love letter is perfect. It's completely honest with the appropriate nervousness of falling-in-love.

The "I love you" game was such a touching idea. It really characterizes the whole Black family's contrast to the children. Electra's great.

I loved Regulus's mixed reaction to the news of the Potters' deaths and how he swept in like a knight in shining armor for Charlotte.

thistlerose May 2 2004, 09:51:35 UTC

Thanks. :)

I love Electra. This is only the second time I've given her things to say in a story; she's slowly becoming a real character to me. Someone, I figure, had to have taught young Sirius how to love, since he's obviously capable and I can't see him learning it from his other relatives.

and how he swept in like a knight in shining armor for Charlotte.

*g* I wrote that after catching the last half hour of "The Princess Bride" on tv last night. Looking back, she'll probably think of Reg as her knight in armor. Now she's just grateful someone's remembered her. He doesn't fancy her yet, but he's probably going to look back on this as a major moment in their "relationship."
