Commenting late because school is finally over for the semester and I can sit down and catch up on Important Fandom Things!
This was absolutely fucking brilliant. Everything was so perfectly nuanced, every sentence just right, not to mention the emotional ride I've just gone through makes me want a stiff drink or three. Which is a compliment, in case that wasn't clear. Ahem.
Just when I think that I have managed to harden my heart against all the atrocities of the First War, along comes your beautiful, selfish, heartbreakingly human Remus, and I can't help but break all over again. His voice is so powerful in this, so flawed yet so relatable and real. He is selfish without being weak, loving without being blindingly trusting or naive. He's almost like a child soldier struggling to find a meaning in the war, while attempting to fight the war that's going on within his family and friends, and within his own heart. It's a complicated struggle, and you made it into a wonderful story.
And Sirius! Stupid fucking Sirius, whom I don't even know if I want to punch in the head or snog stupid. The idea of his extreme loyalty toward James compelling him to keep on with a relationship that is clearly not functioning is fascinating and troubling but just so Sirius. And that's all I can say before becoming completely incoherent.
Thank you for this story. It will stay with me for a long time and probably provide a fair bit of inspiration. Bravo~♥
