Like Canine Do

like canine do

The books have ears, Remus knows, in the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black. Sometimes literally. And other bodily appendages that books aren't supposed to have, but do.

Even here, in the relative quiet of the library, the house carries on its legacy. Years of hate and pain and bigoted pure-blood mania; many years of social parties

Oh God, this was just amazing. One of the best things I've read in ages, and utterly heartbreaking. And the last sentence just - gaah.

Oh, Remus. I just want to hold him and tell him it's okay to cry.

By the way - you make a cut like this:

[lj-cut text="visible text here"] then post your story here, and then [/lj-cut]

Only you need to replace [ with < and ] with >.
I can't remember how to hide a link offhand, but if you look at my most recent post on here (Bring Me A Boat ch2) a very helpful person told me how to do it in the comments.

Again - this was just amazing.

Oh, grr. That was me, accidentally posting from my currently-empty writing journal. And of course I meant 'remusxsirius', not 'here'.

And, my goodness, I've just checked out your lj and realised that you're only 15. You have an amazing talent, I hope you know that. You write better than many authors twice your age.

I really hope this doesn't come across as patronising - it's not intended to be, I am just utterly in awe at your fabulousness. I shall go away and stop fangirling you now!

[citrus_scented]

Thank you. That's really flattering, actually, and I really appreciate it.

Oh, this was really lovely. Very sad and very well-written. You describe things so well. :) 'I'm sorry, I still love you'/'I'm sorry I still love you'-- oh my god, that was so poignant. *snf*

[citrus_scented]

Thank you! And I liked your use of the word 'poignant'. :D

[carmine_ink]

Oh, wow. This is a powerful, beautifully written piece of fiction! I really enjoyed reading it, and I look forward to reading more of your writing. :)

[citrus_scented]

Thanks! You pretty much captured what I was going for, haha. Powerful. :)

Oh this hurts! It's beautiful but I think you broke me.
Remus can't stop crying, so Sirius leans back, takes a good, assessing look and a deep breath, and kisses Remus full on the mouth.

Needless to say, that just makes him cry harder. When he tries to speak, to tell Sirius Goddamn, I fucking love you, you fucking wonderful miserable twat-faced bugger, Sirius silences him with a light kiss and says "Re, love, I know. I know."

Oh. OH! It's just gorgeous, broken and almost... stuttering? Does that make sense? It's like a broken train of thought. Lovely!

[citrus_scented]

That makes sense, even though it doesn't seem like it does. It really does. And thanks. :)

Damn! You made ME cry!!

This was depressing and heart-wrenching but very well done. Thank you!

[citrus_scented]

You're welcome. And thank YOU. Haha.
