Poor narrow-minded James - he'll keep trying until the day he dies.

I love this sentence: James had to admit, sadly, that he’d rarely seen a feebler example of testosterone - and the fact tht he might have fancied Remus if he didn't know he was a boy.

Thank you! :) Yes, James can't get his head round R/S! I think you'll know what inspired this, btw, or sparked it off anyway. :D

*facepalm*
No, I don't!

What?

Heterosexuals are just weird, honestly. That James and all his thinking about girls, I mean, who does that?

This was very funny. You shouldn't hide under the table!

minnow_53 February 13 2007, 08:17:32 UTC

Lol! :D Yeah, they are weird.

Thank you very much! :) I've got out from under the table now: it was bloody uncomfortable sleeping there. *finds matching icon, with more thanks*

Awww, how sweet! After a long, long day at work, this made everything better! So many funny lines, adorably cute, and simply lovely.

I'm so glad you posted it!

Thank you very much! :) It was all ready to post at lunchtime, then I panicked and changed it, then I just panicked. But I'm really glad I posted it too now! :D

Tridents and nets! Oh my heart ( ... )

Wow. That is an absolutely amazing comment: thank you very, very much! ♥ It feels strange seeing the story analyzed like that -- strange but very, very good. Well, wonderful, actually. :) My reply is going to seem dreadfully inadequate...

Yes, the main challenge with James's POV, which I've done once or twice before, is precisely that you have to make it R/S while keeping them mentally in the background. Which allows them to be quite silly and romantic, which is how I like them, though I know some people don't. :( James somehow seems to inspire Remus and Sirius to behave like that, perhaps because he's always so sensible, or thinks he is.

As for Peter, I do see him as a full member of the group: he couldn't have betrayed them if he hadn't been, just for a start, and he always seems stupid and misguided rather than evil. Though I'm probably being a bit mean about his cognitive powers!

What she said! *points above having been reduced to incoherence by how great this story is*

Minnow, this is so wonderful. James' denseness ended up coming across as adorable in your very capable hands, although this idea could have really failed miserably at leaving him sympathetic. And Peter, oh, so funny. I have to get back to work but I wanted to say that this is adorable and is actually hilariously funny (ergotamine poisoning, ha!) as well as dentally-unsafe levels of sweet!

Oh, thank you, thank you very, very much! ♥ I'm just so glad you enjoyed it: I had a great time writing it. The MWPP fluffies don't come along that often, unfortunately! :(

Another great one! I enjoyed James's distress a bit too much, I think. It's so much fun to see someone try to "straighten" our boys (but they want to be like that--Leave Them Alone!). And using a deluxe version of Quidditch--absolutely fabulous. Oh, and I was so relieved the girl bait (Phoebe, in this case) didn't fawn all over Sirius but instead knew right off that she couldn't come between such a perfect pair. And your Peter is adorably clueless. Bravo once again. :)

minnow_53 February 13 2007, 08:36:18 UTC

And that's another great comment from you! ♥ Thank you very much! :)

It is fun watching James struggle: I was a bit alarmed that he didn't give up at the end, but of course he'll have to face the truth eventually. I'm glad you liked Peter: he had a slightly bigger role originally -- him stubbing his toe got cut, sadly -- and he's another one who can be really fun to write!
