Drop-dead beautiful piece of fanfiction. My heart ached all the way.

Wow, that was fantastic! The awkwardness between Remus and Sirius is so well done. Sirius's paranoia going so far as to distrust his own friend, and Remus's feelings of betrayal...it's just so sad.

On a happier note, that article in chapter four, the one about James, was hilarious. I love all the exaggerated compliments!

The ending is just...perfect. Absolutely perfect. And I really do love the chapter titles...you got me interested in full moon names now!

It's "non sequitur" (not "non-sequiter"). And "forest" is spelled with one R, not 2. You can delete this after you correct those mistakes. (I think you're allowed to delete anonymous reviews.)

I really enjoyed this story. It was really interesting and a good read. But, just so you know, Barty's name is Bartemius.

brilliant, just brilliant. I loved how you portrayed every character perfectly, you gave everyone the credits they deserved. I will read Interim now, you are a really good writer

Oh. My. God. This is bloody brilliant. I'm signing in just to put you on my favorites.

Okay, first off, that last line. Wow. It was like "and cue to black with big timpani boom and cue credits."

You mentioned that there were some things that weren't canon compliant because you wrote this before the last three novels. And yeah, little things jumped out (but mainly because I was looking for them since you said it wasn't canon compliant). But what was really impressive to me was that the characters of Sirius and Remus hadn't really been explored in canon at the time you wrote this, and yet you understood them so well that it feels like you knew what was going to happen with both of them when you did write this. Sirius being impulsive and not thinking before leaping? Check. Remus sacrificing his personal happiness because he was worried about hurting those he loved? Check. The "foreshadowing" that Remus would be the last one left? Check. Honestly, the characterizations were so spot on, it's amazing and, had you not said this was written when it was, I would have assumed you just wrote a delightful semi-AU.

I cannot tell you how much I loved the mental spiral sequences of the characters. Peter's rationalization as he descends into evil, Remus's pain as he descends into depression and isolationism, Sirius's anger as he descends into paranoia... James is the only one of the four that keeps his head on (and he's the one who doesn't make it out). I am such a fan of fics that are driven by characterization, that show the why behind people's actions, that work to explain human nature. And your fic did that. I have spent three hours reading it and thinking about it. Probably THE best fic I've read in the Harry Potter section at ffn.

Lovely. This story was perfect. I enjoyed every minute of it, and the last line was so powerful. It even explained the intricacies of Peter's character. It was amazing

I think that this story is a wonderful story! I've always wondered about the stories of the Marauders...

Someone stole your story and posted it up as their own? Man, people suck sometimes.

I just want to say that this story is beautifully done, and it really answers that age-old question, How could Sirius suspect Remus? It's a completely marvelous work, and you have one serious gift. No pun intended.

I just love this story! Every line gets better and better. And I know that now its long been out of canon, but that in no way decreases its awesomeness. It's brilliant. Peter, dead. In his place, Wormtail. Best line ever.

Delicious. I absolutely love this line:

I’m sorry, Moony. But when the Dark Lord takes over, I’ll do my best to make it up to you. I promise.

Superb. I love the way you write for the Death Eater "organization". The sneaky way they worm their way into Peter's life and make him believe that he's already in too deep - perfect. The slow descent into the morally gray and then the morally black is masterfully done.

This exchange made me laugh out loud:

“Harry!” exclaimed Remus with delight. “This obviously means you’ll be an expert cloak-maker--”

“Are you making fun of my son?” warned James.

“Of course not, Prongs. I’m making fun of you.”

This is one of the most fantastic stories I've ever read in the expanded Potter universe; in fact, it's been my favorite pre-Harry story for a long time, only I've been to lazy to review! No more - it's time I told you how much I love your story. It's so in tune, well-thought out, and funny. You write for Sirius, Remus, and James so well. Even Peter, whom we never got too much characterization for, is well written. I especially love this line: "The four young men stood grouped tightly around the child as if in awe of him, and Remus thought with a smirk how amused their ten- or even five-years-younger selves would have been to see this spectacle." It's great! You also did wonderfully describing Peter's personality, especially the bit about him not joining in the teasing of whoever's getting it at the time. Fabulous.

So cute. But isn't Harry's first name just Harry, instead of Harold? Do you read the Red Hen Publications? Your way of putting the characters - brilliant, lovely, logical, understandable in ALL your stories - reminds me of some of those editorials.

What I love even more is the way you treat Peter. EEp! I love him! I do!
