Your Chapter 21 seems to be MIA...where'd it go?

Wow! What a great ending - sensitive, sweet, bittersweet - just perfect. Well done!

I'm glad to read you're working on an original novel! I was going to encourage you to do that if you weren't already doing so.

I'm in the same position you are - HP story nagging at me, readers nagging at me, and a novel (my second) to finish polishing. I wish you lots of luck finding a publisher and getting your work out there to the world. And when it's out there, be sure to let your fanfiction readers know so we can order it ASAP!

Keep up the outstanding work!

Wow! Remus handled that with a great deal of wisdom and class. Well done!

I've honestly been reading too fast to review, but I had to tell you that not only do I love this beautifully written story, I also love the sweet, gently humorous, human touches you include - like Remus telling his dad if he brings chocolate, he'll "fit him in". Well done!

I know, I know, this review is a little late lol. But I just wanted to say that even though I saw the whole "Kane is Rhea's son" thing coming from about 2 chapters ago, I applaud your creativity with the whole biblical play on words (Kane/Abel). Very nice!

That was absolutely bloody amazing. It was just so perfect in every way... =)

awsome. I think you did a good job on describing his dizziness

And so it ends. *sniff* I love Remus fics, and I really enjoyed that one, easily one of the best written I have had the pleasure in reading.

I must ask, where you amazed by your apparent epic foreshadowing in this story? If I have my dates right, you finished this before the release of HBP and the story of Greyback came to light. In reading this fic I couldn't help but think all the way through how excited you must have been when you learned of his role.

Also, although parts of your story are no longer canon-compliant, it is amazingly so for the most part for a fic that was completed before the final two components of the HP series were published. Your ideas about the feral and Rowling's descriptions of Greyback mesh very well indeed.

Also, Greyback's targeting of children and the nature of Kane work very well alongside each other, as does your idea of there being more to Remus's bite than an ill-timed stroll in the woods, as Greyback clearly had a problem with Remus's father.

Also - Remus and Tonks! To be honest that match took me completely by surprise at the end of HBP - I'm guessing you were less surprised by it as you had envisioned it yourself. I'd be curious to know how you feel Rowling handled it, as it is rather different that what I think you had in mind.

Those are the main events, though there is much more... certain lines - for instance Remus's thoughts on it being rude to apparate directly into someone's house mirror Dumbledore's words to Harry upon visiting Slughorn in HBP... things like that amazed me. You obviously understand the series very well.

Anyway, sorry for the lengthy review which contains mostly questions it seems! I'm off to read your other stuff :D

Just wondering, what was the plot parallel you mentioned in your AN? Was it the life and a lifetime bit? As that is all I could see. Excellent chapter, just what I wanted from this fic, and I think your cocktail of emotions for Remus suited him nicely.

I'm so glad that your beta had you write the Tonks drink scene, as if it had been left out I would have been severely disappointed. It was a great scene, and your characterization is pure perfection - I love how you write Tonks especially, that is definitely her. And how herself and Remus interact is priceless, I adore reading those scenes.

These chapters keep getting better and better. And this does not bear the signs of the constant re-writing you claim went on behind the scenes, though I'm sure it took some work. I also did not see the twist coming about Diana, though I had thought she was rather stupid to fall out a window. I love being surprised in a fic, it's the mark of great writing intermingled with a great storyline. Thanks for this!

A most excellent chapter - Kane was perfect, and the twist with Issacs and Rhea was fantastic, I didn't see it coming at all. :D

I like it a lot so far - just leaving a quick and unhelpful review as I don't have time to read the rest right now, but I will :)

Hmm.. How did Tonks get past all the Hogwarts wards around the grounds? If you recall the sixth book, Dumbledore and Harry fly into Hogwarts, Dumbledore has to remove the protective spells. Not to be nit picky ^_^... It's more fun to ignore some details.

Aw, poor poor Lupin. This rashness is borderline-out-of-character, but not quite. It's a very fine line. Heck, if I lost my parent and friends like that, who knows.

This is a really ingenious plot. And HA! My suspicions were true! It was Kane! But he's his COUSIN? Ah.

Very nice.
