wynnleaf 2006-06-30 ch 1,	abuseThis is really good. I like the "look at him" format. This works quite well.
RavenLady 2005-08-20 ch 1,	abusefumbles for kleenex box OUCH. This is so detailed it hurts. I love the style, it feels somehow both detached and not. I love this this line: "Look at his life held together as tenuously as an old suitcase tied together with string." sigh Beautiful. Don't you dare stop writing.
Pyrebi 2005-08-12 ch 1,	abuseThat was one of the best stories I've ever read. It is written in one of my favorite styles, and the tone and structure are brilliantly simple in their complexity. Overall, you have done an excellent job of permeating the words with the sad essence of Remus's being. As I read, I felt a grey feeling overtaking me; I know I have just read an excellently depressing work when that happens. The lyrical quality of the words allowed me to hear the lines in my head instead of merely reading them. I enjoyed the vivid descriptions and the powerful words; the end with Molly was beautifully pathetic. I would like to congradulate you on the production of an excellent piece. I enjoyed it greatly, and rest assured that I will share it with others. It has been placed on my Favorite Stories list so I can never forget it. Thank you so much for writing this.
V.M. Bell 2005-07-07 ch 1,	abusewaves from reverse one-shot exchange Sorry for the late review! I didn't see that someone had replied. In any case, that was a gorgeous and lyrical fic. I adored the repetition and the small details - those were what made your fic beautiful. Excellent! Signing off, V.M. Bell
spoons are for marmalade sk... 2005-06-25 ch 1,	abusehang on. is this remus or harry? killer ending. (look at him exhale.) v nice idea, could use a little bit of cut and paste or maybe just cut. you know the drill.
Moonythoughts 2005-06-23 ch 1, anon.	abuseNice work. Love your fics. You characterizations are fresh and I love them.
TDU 2005-06-21 ch 1, anon.	abuseAh: more depressing with every story! Keep up the good work.
LacyLu42 2005-06-20 ch 1,	abuseGun, this was gorgeous in all its simplicity. Sad and lyrical, moving and with a building momentum that ends with an exhale that manages not to be anticlimactic. This was my favorite bit: "Look at how he loves his memories so, how he will cling to the best and bitterest of times..." Just lovely. But I've got to say that I don't agree with the other people who've said that this is different than your other writing styles. Your fics always break my heart. "Secrets, Lies, and Guinness Pies" tears me to shreds in all the best ways and "Loneliness" hurts so good. =) This is just another installment in an ever growing cadre of excellent fic.
Aegle 2005-06-19 ch 1,	abuseWell, I returned home to find in my overflowing email box (which is 99% junk mail, to show you how pathetic my life really is) an alert that you'd written a new story. Made me very happy, I've got to say. I read this piece aloud--something I rarely do--but it's quite poetic and I think more powerful when read aloud. It does, like others have said, have a very bleak feel and a decided lack of cynicism from someone who uses it so often, but I like that, because it's different. I think I looked at it expecting humor to pop in (foolish, considering I had the feel of the piece already) and it didn't. I can't say really whether you've "branched out" from your other writing--possibly you write other stories like this and simply do not publish or post them anywhere, but it does stand out from your other work that I've encountered and I enjoyed it. It left a hollow feeling. And you wove words well. -Aegle
BaskervilleBeauty 2005-06-18 ch 1, anon.	abuseNot at all like your usual style; no a glimpse of humour here, no matter how black. Wonderfully descrpitive. A question, though -- if he and Molly are so close, would she allow there to be sucha thick carpet of dust in his room? Would she allow him to darn his robes himself?
Yma 2005-06-18 ch 1,	abuseOh, I like this. A wonderful mood piece. Beautifuly well done and excellent description. This really is a 'show' rather than tell peace, you've captured pain so utterly here it's agonizing to read... but agonizing in a good way, if that makes sense. Fantastic work.
Pavonis (dolorous_ett) 2005-06-18 ch 1, anon.	abuseNot at all what I was expecting - a clever and original story. We hear so much about the shabbiness of Lupin in canon - but never see him doing anything about it. Clever. And your point about him being much harder to mend than his robes was well made, I think.
Mucada 2005-06-18 ch 1,	abuseWow, very descriptive. I had no trouble at all imagining this because you made it flow so nicely and capture every aspect of poor Remus. Well done. mucada
gazette 2005-06-18 ch 1,	abusei love it . it's actually really good. is this it is this the end
Werewolf Rights Activist 2005-06-18 ch 1,	abuseit stops there? it was very good but just seemed to stop way to fast. keep writing, you're very good ~hope
