Oh my god- I literally could not love you any more

Ooh, I am so super happy you liked it! And, eep, you really do the bestest feedback, it's wonderful. I would write anything for this sort of amazingly lovely response. Seriously, anything; multi-chaptered fic of my NOTPs, job applications, love letters, budget proposals, shopping lists, ransom notes, whatever. Just say the word

[dustmouth]

haha it's getting me to shut up that's the trick. I do get a bit excited- but I am never saying no to shopping lists!

Them being all far too comfortable with each other is literally my favourite thing about them. That weird, sometimes occurence in fic where they all wear odd items of each other's clothing just makes me get all faint.
So yes, Sirius lovingly plucking rose thorns out of james potter's arse cheeks (after being the one to push him in there in the first place) was right up my alley...

Epiphany jam tart indeed, I obviously know what I should be cooking. Trust in the tart!
Seriously, thank YOU so much, I am still not over this wonderful story. In all honesty, I'm not sure I ever will <3

Okay, this may be one of the funniest things I’ve read in a while. It’s just wonderfully fluffy, and snarky and so much fun to read. Your Lily was amazing. So was your very astute, observant Peter. And your holiday traditions. And the entire concept behind this.
And this:
Sirius squirmed.

‘What’s wrong with him?’

‘That’s his “I must not sound like my mother” face,’ explained Remus. ‘Just wait till he finds out Muggles use frankincense in bubble bath.’
I can so very clearly picture Sirius having that face. I about died laughing. Out loud. At work. It was very embarrassing.

And Sirius!!!
‘I also want to snog you and stuff,’ said Sirius. ‘And make you sandwiches , and warm my hands under your jumper when it’s cold, and when you’re sad I want to kiss you until you’re not sad anymore, and then I want to curl up on your lap while you scratch behind my ear. Also, I want to rescue you from a dragon, or you can rescue me, or we could take it in turns… I’m not too fussed about the dragons actually. I just want you, and the

Aw, thank you so much! You are super-lovely.

I think Sirius made that face a lot, especially when his friends were winding him up which, bless him, wasn't hard. He's just so easy (and fun!) to manipulate.

There wasn't even going to be a confession of love at first but, ack, I'm a sap and can't resist.

So happy you like it. Thank you for such a wonderful comment. ♥

I had a smile on my face through this entire thing. What a treat. I love these nutty idiots, and the way you write them. The friendship between Sirius and Lily was lovely. Remus was delightful -- his dry little comments. The beans were a great touch. The whole ritual was wonderful. Sirius' confessions and Remus' sweet "my bean wants me to believe you," warmed the cockles of my heart. Thank you for being such an incredible participant this year. This was just want I needed today!!

[shaggydogstail]

Thank you! I do so love them all. ♥ Glad you enjoyed it, it was fun!

[secretsolitaire]

Hee! I loved this. You write great banter, and I loved Sirius's love confession -- made me smile. :)

[shaggydogstail]

Thank you, sweets! Smiles are always good. :D

[articcat621]

I absolutely loved Sirius and Lily's friendship here. Remus was wonderful too - loved his little comments here and there. When Sirius exploded about the magi being magical, I couldnt stop laughing. Wonderfully done! ❤

[shaggydogstail]

Hee, Sirius having a strop is always entertaining! Thank you, glad you liked.
