Rating: R

I love this

I love everything about it, even the original character (I even googled him to check if he was based on a real person).

I especially love the way it ties all of the r/s era's together flawlessly. So many writers have trouble with making the fases the relationship goes through realistic and fit together at the same time, because they're all so different but have to have the same atmosphere. Most writers don't bother with more that one era per fic or series, but I love stories in which this happens; it gives the story depth.

The ending is so sad, because it's a real ending, which is good, because there is usually such a gaping hole at the end of "Lie low at Lupin's" fics because you know what's going to happen and it ruins it. This has closure.

Thank you so, so much for writing this.

I'm so glad you liked it - and thanks for accepting a sequel to an old fic. I'd always planned to write it, and your challenge gave me the push I needed.

It was a pleasure!

I hadn't read the first part yet I think, which is strange because you're one of my favourite fanficwriters and I thought I read it all. :p

The first part was my first fic ever, and I affectionately call it my "ugly duckling". It's sitting at the very bottom of my LJ, and I gave it a nice bath, changed some of its clothes and combed it carefully for the sequel. The plot is the same, but I made it look better.

I'll post the whole thing at my LJ - I considered editing the first one with this new version, but I'm a sentimental fool and couldn't do it. So the old version is still posted there.

Your comment made me all warm and fuzzy. Thanks for it.

It has taken me for arse ever to get through this around work but I'm very glad I didn't give up on it. I like that they didn't know everything about each other and the suspicions, and I even like Carlos. Poor, Carlos. :)

And I'd like to kick Peter, even though I pretend to understand him.

[westwardlee]

I'm also glad - and thankful - that you stuck to it. It's a very long fic, no doubt.

Peter's a rat... and I also want to kick him.

I'm sobbing like an idiot over here!

Sorry! :-{

Their story is so sad - the best we can do is to write happy fics about the short happy time they had together.

Thanks for reading.
