That was incredibly beautiful, absolutely heart wrenching. You convey Sirius' pain so well that I ached for him. So well done.

This was gorgeous and it makes me want to cry (which is a good thing). Sirius' grief and pain and its course over two years were well traced. I think you captured that feeling of losing your love to illness so well. And I like that it ended on hope too.

This was sad, but lovely.

You really dealt with his grief well and very realistically. I very much felt for poor Sirius here.He hadn’t wanted to wear anything of his own, anything he might wear again (even accidentally), on this day. Now he wished he had. He felt like a stranger in James’ clothes, as though he didn’t belong there. You don’t. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Twenty-seven is no age. He had put nothing of himself into this day, James and Lily had taken care of everything. He hadn’t even spoken at the service (‘No one expects you to, mate’), James had done that. He had put nothing of himself into this day and there had been nothing of Remus in it either. There would never be anything of Remus in any day from now on. Gawd, that just about killed me, but it also felt very real, like grief itself. You could tell that Remus was his whole world and how terrible it felt to lose that ( ... )

I don't know why I read this. I knew I was going to cry, but I had to! I had to know how Sirius dealt with it. It was painful to read. :(

Now I'm going to go and forget Remus died here by reading some more fanfics where they have the sexy smex, lol!

This was pretty great. I was still a bit bitter that Sirius moved on at the end, but that is something Remus would want...for him to not wallow. But still, poor Remy. <3
