Wow. Confusing, and painful and hot and sweet all kind of swirling together.

Maybe I'm tainted -- like Pettigrew. Maybe I can never be good. Maybe I'm beyond redemption."

"Oh be quiet, you tiresome twerp."

That's so perfect. Percy just dying for some attention, to be less ordinary. And Remus' explanation that follows:

"Really, Percy. There's nothing tainted about you, you're just conceited and selfish. You're not the stuff of great evil -- just a pompous little git, that's all. Quite the ordinary, bureaucratic sort of evil

It's just wonderful. Not to mention that my new favorite character, dom!Remus, is portrayed so deliciously here, maybe because the anger and annoyance behind his actions are perfectly reasonable.

You're all right and not the least bit less smug. -- no words to express how fitting that line is, or the happy feeling I get from it. Just a really great fic.

And now I'm getting a nasty little thrill when I click on "Submit" to post my reply after previewing......:-D

[anneline]

Submit. Hee. I never noticed that. Now, I'll never be able to not notice it.

Thanks awfully, because it will give me the snickers, too. Except that my options say 'post comment'.

Regardless, interesting story and insight into Percy, kink or not. It's really easy to make him just a totally annoying person, but this turned him human.

I don't know that I could have written anything like this either, but I'm more into dark, so I don't know.

Nice job.

I understand now

[jazzypom]

I really do. I understand why people would want to expose themselves to this, to turn themselves over to feel pain, like Percy did. I liked Remus here, quiet and unshowy, hurting but still with a sense of power. He does this with his 'shut it, Percy' and 'you are the strangest, sweetest boy'.

This was really just an exploration of Percy, wasn't it? The fact that he feels small and neglected, and yet... he becomes the centre of attention, and in a way, Percy has always been drawn to power, to strength, regardless of who weilds it.

*nods*

Thanks for that. I'm probably feeling more for Percy than I should.

Percy has always been drawn to power, to strength, regardless of who weilds it.

So maybe subconsciously he meant that bit about going over to LV, even though he only said it to get a rise out of Remus? Interesting.

Also, I've meant to ask, who is that in your icon? I melt a bit every time I see it.

I wouldn't be suprised

Yes, I think so. I think that in our most unguarded moments (to get a rise out of Remus) we definately betray what we feel.

The story made something 'click' in me, at any rate. I've been trying to wrestle with Percy as a character since GoF, and this piece well... it's provided some answers to questions that I wasn't even looking for.

So, for that. Thanks and rock on.

Oh! My icon? The Libertines. They're an english band that split up last year (because Pete, the shorter haired singer had a coke problem - but he has a new band called Babyshambles) but there's talk of them getting back together.

The band is very english rock - catchy tunes, good riffs, and the two boys are in love with each other but they just don't know it yet :p

Don't Look Back into The Sun is a popular tune by them.

[anneline]

Ah, what I wouldn't give to get a rise out of Remus.

I'm actually glad I got this story out before the next book because who knows what Percy will do in that one. Maybe nothing. Maybe a lot of things. I'm too exited about the next book, I think.

[angemari87]

Interesting. Good writing!

[anneline]

Thank-you!

[triceybabe]

I love the lines "You were very good," said Remus, lifting up Percy's face and giving his mouth a series of quick wet kisses. "You were very brave."

"I was, a little, wasn't I?" said Percy, sniffing and hiccupping.

"Aww," said Remus, wiping Percy's tears with his sleeve. "There you go, sweetheart. You're all right and not the least bit less smug."

Its very endearing to see Percy as a little boy. So kawaii!!!

[anneline]

Thank-you! I'm pleased you liked the story. I couldn't resist making Percy a little childish.

[starry_gazer]

I'm really blown away by this. Percy is not a character I'm particularly drawn to, and I'm sure for the most part he gets passed over as much in fanfiction as he does by the other characters in HP. How you've managed to flesh him out and make him...not appealing, exactly, but understandable, is really impressive.

[anneline]

Thanks for the lovely comment. I have a fondness for Percy but I didn't want to make him completely perfect. He's a pretty big jerk in OotP.
