I love it!
I can never get enough of wondering about Peter's reasons for betraying his friends as it's never adequately explained and I never thought of tying that to Sirius, but the parallel is so clearly made here, I wonder how I never thought of it before. I love that Sirius and Andromeda wrote to one another, as the two rogue Blacks surely must have done, and that Andromeda still considers them her sisters - because how do you forget a shared childhood, even if you walk away from it.
Truly stunning.

Oh, thank you! What a lovely comment. I find Peter fascinating so I knew I had to explore him here. And I agree, Andromeda must have still felt something about her sisters. You can't stop being one. Thanks again!

Excellent!
I particularly liked your portrayal of Peter during his confrontation with Sirius about betraying his family--that was spot on.

Thank you! This was supposed to be a Peter-centric fic with that conversation as the focus but Sirius barged in and took over.

The development of Sirius through this is wonderful. He changes and grows, yet there is an undercurrent of him remaining the same. Wonderful.

OMG - PETER, YOU... GAH! Dirty little rat.

I particularly liked the Remus and Sirius scene at the end, trying to sort things out, find out where it all went wrong.

I caught one canonical mistake (because I'm a bit of a canon nazi) - One of them involved a hippogryff, leading Peter to ask if he'd ever seen someone die, - I think you mean thestrals :)

Thank you so much for sharing!

Gah! Damn, I hate making stupid mistakes like that. Thank you so much for pointing it out! And for the lovely comment. He is a dirty little rat, isn't he?

Wow! Great job! You absolutely nailed all of these characterizations. :)

I love the details you have included: Sirius' having to hurry to write Andromeda before the owls were told not to deliver to her--brilliant! And Sirius' seeing a house elf die, because Regulus was forced ot kill it. Loved Sirius' reaction to Remus/Tonks.

Wonderful story! :)

I like the way you flesh out just how and why Sirius comes to hate Grimmauld Place so much, as you summarize in this part: It was three rooms away that they disowned him. It was at the front staircase that Father gave him robes with the Crest of Black... How painful it must have been to be confined there years later ( ... )
