Terrific fanfic. I like the degeneration from a scared soldier, to a self-sacrificer, to coward, to a self-centered survivalist (is that even a word). I had a feeling your Wormtail fanfic would be good, and it was! ^_^

On the other hand, I would think that he wouldn't have to write a letter and risk being tracked, period. After all, an explosion creates it's own publicity. LOL

Painfully sad and beautiful and real, above all. Peter is such a complex character, but I think you've done a wonderful, wonderful job.

The section with Peter becoming a death eater was so sad, so poignant. Just ... speechless. Truely brilliant.

And your last line about Sirius, the laughter of someone who had nothing left to loose, was fantastic.

I agree with what you've written about Peter on your profile, too. Like I said, he's so complex, I struggle to write him, so I have so much respect for you, because you've done it so well.

Beautiful.

Liked this fic. I thought the death scene in DH for Lily and James was two short, I didn't think James or Lily would have let themselves get murdered that easily. Though I still hate Peter.

Gr, stupid Peter. That was well-written, I liked it a lot and after reading the mini-essay on your pro, you've opened my mind to what he was probably like before he went over to the Dark side... but I still hate him, as an adult at least. Nice job on this one, the very end with the Weasleys seemed a bit rushed to me though. Loved the parts with James and Sirius =)

You portray that night in an interesting way. I personally think that Peter would of ran to voldy more in a thirst for power not completely by force, but that's just me. very good, keep up the good work. And you should contact me if you post anything new cuz my alerts aren't coming through.

I found this very interesting and a good idea for a story. I also 100% agree with your essay on your profile. Howevrer, I pity you for the release of Deathly Hallows, as it messes up your story quite a bit... Are you going to edit this or just make it AU?

Anyway, while I think Voldemort threatening to kill Peter's friends is a valid reason for him to turn sides, I don't think it would've happened that easily, especially if Peter had experience with Dumbledore rescuing Remus before.

I really liked the scene where Sirius found him though...

I think it's unrealstic for them to just accept the ease of rescuing Peter; I think they would've been suspicious of how there was no attempt whatsoever to stop them.

When you say that he underwent the change of caring more for his life than anyone else's, while his being a Death Eater makes that make sense, it would be nice to kind of explain how he'd started caring more for himself than even for his very best of friends... Caring so little that he even convinced people that Remus was the traitor. I mean, he did feel some remorse for betraying James and Lily that night, but he felt no remorse for turning everybody against Remus? It didn't seem right somehow...

I think you've got a great story idea here, but I also think there's a lot you could do to improve it.

This is really good, one of the better stories that don't describe Peter as a total idiot.

WOW DG1! That was really impressive, a really good responser to the Marauder-era-Peter-bashing. Even though, Voldemort probably didn't make him become a Death Eater by threatening his friends with death, it still was really good. One of your more serious fan fics. Keep up the good work!

Great Story. I like how you clearly show the difference in Peter from the begging to the end. At first he wants to protect his friends, then later all that matters to him is surviving. Just a few things I might add

I don't think that Voldemort would allow Peter to talk to James on the night he killed them. Because he might somehow change his mind and betray him. But then again he needed time to mak sure they woukldnt excape

After all James had been through in the war I don't think he'd be so cocky. I think he'd be more serious because of the effect of the war. Then again maybe not. He could still be his strutful self

Lastly knowing Mrs. Weasley I don't think she'd let one of her children take home a rat(which I know alot of people dispise) that has been outside (for fear of being dirty or infected or something).

Other than that great story. It's really opened up my mind towards Peter. Of course I still hate Adult Peter.

This story is really good! I loved every word of it! Something I also loved, was that you stuck to some of the story lines from another of your stories "Opposites Attract", like the part in Malfoy Mansion. You also really grasped the concept of most of the characters, and created a very realistic and believable story, it really made me believe that that was the way Pettigrew turned on everyone, and it probably was!
So, congratulations on another great story!

I read all of your little "rant," I found it quite fascinating, actually. I agree with you completely, although I must admit that I am a bit guilty of making Peter look really stupid (in my head at least, I'm not sure if I do it in my fanfics...), but yeah, I agree with you 100%. And I agree with you 10% about the chat talk. I always have to read anything anyone says in chat about fourteen times before I comprehend that they actually are saying stuff, rather than just pointlessly inconveniencing a large number of electrons. Anyway, about the fic... I think that the age difference between Ginny and Percy was (let's see, he was head boy in Harry's third year, which was Ginny's second, so that WOULD be five years diff... oops) Yup, you were right. Ok then. Well, I liked the part where percy found him, well done. Also, Peter's transitions of feeling guilt to no-to-little-remorse was well done. The part where moldy-shorts (OMG! I laughed so hard!) killed James and Lily was also well done, although I always pictured her dying in the hallway, while harry was in his crib in the nursery, because he can't have seen her die, because he couldn't see the thestrals until fourth year. James being killed because he couldn't see the spell because of his missing glasses was also, like, so real. I always wondered why wizards and witches couldn't just go to St. Mungo's and get their eyes fixed. I mean, they can do everything else, why not eyes? Anywayses... very good, so... please update your other fanfics soon (Mwahahahaha, I'm so nice, bringing up the other fics while reviewing this one lol), and bye bye! :)

I'll start off that I don't like Peter, but I agree with your 'essay' on your profile. Anyway, I've never thought that that could be a reason why Peter joined the Death Eaters. Very interesting... And a good reason why the Sorting Hat plopped him in Gryffindor. Great story!

This is pretty good. I never really thought about Peter this way. I always had the image in my head that he was evil and betrayed them. I never really thought of the reasons why he would join the Dark Lord. It definitely made me think. I like it. It was wonderful.
