This is lovely. All of it. OH. And so sad. More sad than full-out angst, even.

#3 was my favourite, I think. Intriguing setup - maybe there'll be more? ;)

*memories*

Thanks for sharing. <3

I can't tell you how happy I am that you feel that way! That's exactly what I wanted to come across.

#3 was my favourite, I think. Intriguing setup - maybe there'll be more? ;)

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! (And I think I like # 3 best, too.)

Thanks so much for your lovely comment! :)

I'm speechless that you actually read my fic. You know I'm one of your biggest fans ever, right?

I can die happy now. :)

Thanks so much for commenting!

I was afraid that one of your fics would end worse than in canon... And I'm so relieved that it isn't the case! I loved the whole series, with these hopeful endings that are enhanced by the knowing of everything they had to come through...

And as I'm French, I can give you more accurate translations (I hope)...

“C'est votre parrain, Sirius Black.” => "C'est ton parrain, Sirius Black" (the sentence you wrote would imply that Harry and Remus don't know each other well, a kind of equivalent of calling someone by his family name)

"Bonjour. Nice pour vous rencontrer," => "Bonjour, heureux de faire votre connaissance,"

“Papa? Qu'a-t-il dit ?” => "Papa, qu'est-ce qu'il a dit?" (the sentence you wrote is correct but rather formal)

"Vous ressemblez tellement à James," => "Tu ressembles tellement à James"

I hope this helps!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And thanks so much for helping with the French-- I just went back and changed it. I hope you don't mind that I credited/thanked you in the A/N!

Thanks again for the help-- it's very appreciated! :)

.... I admit to a certain morbid curiousity as to who died in #5. XD;

*hopes it's Dumbledore*

This is soooo wonderful, and I'm sorry that I haven't the time to do it justice when it's 1.21am and I have such a horrible day looming tomorrow.

Oh, you wrote five AU's and they were mostly happy. Sad? Who says it's sad? They're a lot happier than JKR's version! Aw, this really cheered me up.x

Aw, I hope your day turns out all right! Tuesday is the day my spring break ends-- wah, I don't want to go back to school!

Sad? Who says it's sad? They're a lot happier than JKR's version!

I think it's a bit sad precisely because it's an AU. Canon breaks my heart.

Thanks so much for your lovely comment. :)

Oh these are lovely! Just the whole situation serves as a reminder of how unfortunate the whole thing is in canon. Not to mention your Remuses are very lovable.

Not to mention your Remuses are very lovable.

I'm glad you found my Remuses lovable-- I think writing a post-1981 Remus is a very hard thing to do.

Thanks so much for the lovely comment! :)
