There's something really fresh and original about your writing! I really enjoyed this story, and I loved the deep understanding and comfort Remus offered Sirius at the end.

Thank you. My mind has drawn an utter blank on how to respond to this at the moment, so thank you and I'm really glad you liked it!

Beautiful, original and unexpected. The way you describe Sirius freeing the bird is stunning.

Thank you so much. I don't much see the point in writing something someone else has already hashed out and I TRY to steer clear of cliche, although sometimes it just leaps out and bites you! :)

That was such a beautiful story. Really well written and totally engaging. Such a vivid portrait of Sirius's mother and his home life.

Thank you for sharing it.

Thank YOU for reading it!

Sirius' mum is one of those characters which we don't really get told much about in the series, which gives me a hellofa lot of freedom! I'm really glad you liked my interpretation.

This was really quite lovely and different. And that is certainly different in a good way, very fresh and unique and well-constructed.

Granted, I am a complete sucker for scenes of Sirius' childhood, but yours was especially poignant. And the whole metaphor of the glass bird was very effective.

But the end bit with Remus was truly beautiful. I love the connection between the two men. And this was nive: He pulls Sirius’ hand to his mouth again and he knows nothing he can say can make it right; he’s already tried arguing with Dumbledore until his vocal chords felt like they should be bleeding. Instead, he nuzzles his nose against their now entwined fingers and hums, “Come to bed with me.”

Hello again!

'Different in a good way' - my mum is ALWAYS saying that about me!

I think EVERYONE is a sucker for ickleSirius! I certainly am! ickleRemus too come to think of it. Besides, I think so much of Sirius' issues in OotP stem from his past and JK never really explained much of his childhood. All the more reason why we should provide some backstory!!

Equally, the connection between them is all their own fault! They shouldn't be so perfect for one another :p

Thanks again for your great feedback,

Aww. A soft little sigh of a fic. Fits the pre-Order mood very well... maybe if Sirius really had been getting a little loving he wouldn't have felt the need to run off and get deaded.

The whole idea of Sirius feeling the need to 'free' the bird is great, made me sit up a little in my chair. He's so childish (being, in fact, a child) but at the same time you can see the older sirius in him. Fab.

Wee-sirius-in-velvet reminds me of wee-pippin-in-velvet-breeches :P
