As Certain Dark Things Are To Be Loved (HP; R/S; 2,322 words; PG-13 for Very Bad Language and implications that mansex at one point occured.)

( You feel as if you’ve stumbled in on a strange couple kissing goodbye, so weirdly intimate is the revelation that Sirius kept something of his brother. )

I have had to clear a loved one's belongings. I think it is the worst experience ever. It is when you finally admit they've gone, when you try to convince yourself it is time to move on, but you know you can't. It is watching them die all over again. YOu've captured it wonderfully, though I blame you for the lump in my throat now. It was simply wonderful. BTW, the second person made it even more heart wrenching for me, I don't know why.

I'm sorry for your loss, and sorry if this brought it back up for you. But thank you for reading. <3

Wow. I like the touch about the scratchings on the ceiling. And the fact that Remus isn't sure if Sirius got that last Reg letter sooner or later. The whole thing was very touching, a bit painful, but very good.

Thank you!

that was utterly amazing. i'm not always a fan of post-ootp writing because i dearly love sirius [i cried when jkr killed him off] and i love reading about times when he and remus could've been happy together...but this piece, augh. i love it. exquisitely painful- which is the only way it could be written well.

What does he know of Sirius? Hell, what does he know of any of them, even Lily and James? They were yours, they didn’t create you but they made you, they were a part of you, the part that bled, the part that laughed, the part that was human and whole. was totally one of my favorite parts. i love that remus is being so selfish, because that's absolutely realistic. i think it makes him an even more sympathetic character because everyone can relate to that feeling. just brilliant ( ... )

Oh, man, I can actually remember exactly where I was when I first read the Sirius Dying scene, and oooh the sobbing I did. ^^'

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed. I will certainly be posting more.

This is so wonderful. Heartwrenching, and a good use of the second person, it did just work for some reason.

The ending was astonishing, those last few paragraphs really hit me.

I'm crying--you made me cry.

You wonder when Sirius found it, if it was before he left or when he came back to Grimmauld Place after Azkaban. You wonder if it would have broken him more to find it before or after. You wonder if it matters.

Marvellous.

Not that I take any joy in making people cry (except that when it comes to Angst!fic, I totally do...) but...whee. Thanks so much!
