jadewerewolf (remus' lover,... 2003-09-01 ch 2, anon.	abusei really like this and am looking forward to an update. i think this is a perfect way to show how remus felt about the death of sirius.
RavenLady 2003-08-12 ch 2,	abuseApplauds wildly This is one of my favorite post-OOtP stories.
Polkat 2003-07-25 ch 1,	abusefirstly while perhaps nothing to do with you, i adore the lyrics at the beginning and the end. absolutely wonderful, apt... extraordinary. apart from that story very good. especially this line which was heartbreaking: It should have been me; the only thing I had to live for was him. stupid sirius, i didn't even like him much in the fifth book...
SpezzaIncantesimi 2003-07-09 ch 1,	abuseI recently decided to become a responsible reader, letting the writer know I read his/her stuff, and whether I enjoyed it. Generally I avoid reviewing because of the language issue: I am not a native and, in my humble opinion, it might sound ridiculous a praise of the paragraph flow by someone whose command of the written language is rough. Anyway, why not? If I cant write correctly into English, yet I can read it and appreciate, to a certain extent, an English fanfiction. So... let's start! Your word usage is interesting, rather poetical I'd say, appropriate for an angsty litte fic. The flow is smooth and higly readable. With this I don't mean that you use a basic language but, even if the beginning is an inner monologue, I mean that it is easy to keep track of Lupin's train of thought, and that the reader, at least this reader, doesn't get bored (it is easy with angst, at least for me... it is very easy to slip into ridiculous if the writer is not a bit sober) "That was the entire problem, I supposed. What was life when there was no one to distract you from the tedium of it all?" I liked this sentence a lot. Are in your personal potterverse Lupin and Sirius lovers? Because Lupin's words and attitude seem to suggest this. The dialogue with Tonks is good, but somehow less good (poignant? interesting?) than the beginning. Not knowing your works I cant judge whether this is a limit of your narrative ability or a slip in an overall good production (has it sense in English? I hope). Your Moony "works" better when alone! The end is really beautiful "But only the moon stared back." Did I enjoyed it? Yes, I did.
Green Banana 2003-06-30 ch 1,	abuseomg, that ruled... i was so sad you are unbelievably good. rock on
Juliette 2003-06-25 ch 1,	abuseI really enjoyed this short piece, good job. I was not surprised that Remus put on such a good face when he and the others met Harry at the train station, which is something he showed in PoA. But I also had a feeling that aside from Harry, Remus would take Sirius' death the worst. Perhaps Remus will step in and try to fill Sirius' place as Harry's mentor. OOtP proved that neither Dumbledore nor Sirius were doing a very good job. Lupin certainly has the responsibility that Sirius lacked and the straight forward honesty that Dumbledore lacks. Good job again. -jul
Tori 2003-06-25 ch 1, anon.	abuseWOW! This is really well written and impacting. You're making me cry! Keep writing Please
babydragon 2003-06-25 ch 1,	abuseok. the good news (if there is to be good news in this time of grief) is that i have finally stopped crying over depressing fanfics. not to say yours wasn't depressing, believe me, it was one of the darker ones. ::sighs:: the writing is good... extremely sad... was sad to see (in the book) that remus just accepted sirius's death. post-sirius angst is good for the soul.
kazza 2003-06-25 ch 1, anon.	abuseBeautifully sad. An eloquent epitath to a special character. Thank you for posting it
Sumer9 2003-06-25 ch 1,	abuseBeautifully written. I was imagining how Remus would react to Sirius' departure, and you expressed it precisely and realistically. Although this is a one-shot, I'd love to see another chapter. Excellent.
Spirit of the Autumn 2003-06-25 ch 1,	abuseWow, this is beautiful. Really beautiful.
morgan 2003-06-24 ch 1, anon.	abuseOh, I really liked this. Very well written... I love it when authors go to the innermost depths of the characters thoughts and fears. Sirius's death made me so sad and frustrated... but oh well.
Iapetus 2003-06-24 ch 1,	abuseWow... this is well written. I don't always read Harry Potter fanfiction (because of the sheer quanity of it), but finishing OOTP has gotten me obsessed again. I might even write another HP piece soon. grin Anyways, my heart goes out to Lupin. He's lost one best friend to Voldemort himself, another to a death eater, and the last to being a traitor. And on top of that, he's a werewolf. Lupin is the epitome of "bad things happen to good people." I was thinking about writing a story a lot like this, but you did it much better than I could (so I'm going to do something else). Lastly, I had been thinking about it, but now I am an official Lupin/Tonks fan. I now have TWO concrete couples in the HP fandom... this is a new thing for me. grin Keep writing, I look forward to more of your work. -Iapetus
princess-julies 2003-06-24 ch 1,	abusenice.. really sad... but i think you described very well what lupin would be feeling after his best friend died.. Hell, I even cried,and well, obviously I'm just a reader. Keep up the nice work... and i think you have real potential as a writer.. this story was not only a good stroy, but it was well written, which is sadly rare to thistype of fanfic
The Grey Warrior 2003-06-24 ch 1,	abuse... bursts into tears Good fic...
