That was phenomenal. Compelling and intense (and hot as well! Sexual situations indeed)

I don't know why, but Peter as a healer (and not evil) was particularly entertaining and awesome.

The art fit well too. The nightclub piece really fit the mood, with the colors and the silhouettes. And yay for drawing hulking terrifying werewolves! :-)

I love a non-evil, useful Peter as well. AU provides a wonderful opportunity for us to rewrite their history and give Peter a second chance. :)

Thank you so much for reading. I'm so glad you liked it.

great story :) You did an amazing job with the characters, I really loved Peter and Moody.
Oh, and cheers to the artists too :)

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked Peter and Moody - I love including them in fic and am thrilled when someone enjoys their characterisation. *hugs*

This was awesome! It was really fun reading an AU set in the world, with Remus still a werewolf, and everything set up as a murder mystery. I really enjoyed reading this, and as always I love your characterizations. It was actually also nice to see Peter get to be a good guy in this world. More than once I suddenly burst out laughing at a line... you have a great choice of words in narration and dialogue.

My only complaint is it should have been longer =( Clearly the murder shouldn't have been solved here and you should have made this into a massive multi-parter. What were you thinking?? ^_~

[remuslives23]

Thank you! :) I love good guy Peter and I'm so happy you liked him as well. I'm pleased it gave you a giggle and that you enjoyed reading.

LOL! It could have been a lot longer! I had to rein myself in a bit. :)

Thanks for reading, hon. *hugs*

Well if you ever decided to write follow ups in this setting, I know I certainly wouldn't complain ^_~ But then I wouldn't complain if you wrote anything at all. I love all your stuff I've read. Thanks (again) for writing and sharing! I may end up having to internet!stalk you for more fics at some point because atm I may have read all the ones I initially found XD

Anyway-- keep up the great work!

Oh, wow. Amazing fic (as ever, bb). So sexy, and also wonderfully plotted and really really sweet. Brilliant art, too!

*smooches* Thanks, hon! I'm so very glad you liked it!

You still write the most powerful opening scenes ever. This is so sexy, gritty and utterly noir. That scene at the club, where Sirius sees and hears other men fucking aroun him and Lupin, that was so Queer as Folk, but you managed to make it more, somehow. I loved it!

And I really loved it that you included Fabian. The way you wrote in other canon characters (Peter and Moody!) are so believable, and I always love that in AU.

Did I mention that I loved all the action (sexual and otherwise)? You never cease to amaze me with your work, hun!

I will admit to having watched A LOT of QAF around the time I was trying to think of a setting for this fic. :) I'm so glad you enjoyed it, hon, and that you liked the supporting characters as well. I have much love for the Prewett boys!

*hugs* Thanks, hon!
