This was cute and really, really funny. And, for someone who claims to not write Remus/Sirius, you certainly know (and write) them well.

This piece of art is hilarious and captured my heart from the beginning, but somehow you managed to make it even better. “Well,” Sirius said, pulling back and reverting his attention to the dog, “What is it then?” It was, from empirical evidence alone, a small dog, probably a little older than a puppy, with pointy ears, a snout too long for its face, and a pitiable excuse for a bark. Padfoot, and Sirius by association, desperately wanted to chase the chew toy passing for a canine away from his mate. Remus rolled his eyes when the wolf in him sensed the fight for dominance about to take place.. LOL. With a few notable exceptions (like my bosses’ dog) I tend to be a big dog person rather than a little dog person, so I could see how Sirius felt here. I could also totally understand his jealousy ( ... )

Aww, that's cute! I love how snarky Sirius is, the little things he says: “I thought we were working for the other psychopath in love with Grindelwald.” which I'm sure is the reason for a lot of their rows. I'm really concerned about how much they've been fighting, though, and the undercurrents of tension that maybe marks the beginning of Sirius's suspicions about Remus's loyalty during the first war. I'm glad they agreed on a truce this time around, the poor boys. The little detail about fighting with their bodies instead of their mouths is beautiful and rather heartbreaking. Nice and complex little piece!

You did a fantastic job of de-fluffing that! That really is a compliment. That picture is so cute (and gorgeous) that it would have been a real temptation to write something too-sweet in response. Instead, what you wrote was balanced and realistic: with an underlying sadness to go with the happy, funny ending and the obvious love between the boys. Your various elements complimented each other: the past, the background of war, the banter, the sexual tension and concern and stress and affection of their affair. This was a great story. I loved the references to Albus/Gellert and Irma/Gellert.

I love the undertones of distrust that we can start to see here. Not enough to show real cracks but definitely showing stress. I love the snarky humour and Sirius' jealousy over the puppy. It being Madam Pince's dog was just the icing on a lovely cake :D

Oh and the stop starty part when they first got together and how they tried to ignore it/hide from it - <3

Aw this was lovely. A nice glimpse of their post-Hogwarts life - a bit of sadness and tension creeping into their relationship, but they're still happy and in love. I also really liked how angry and jealous Sirius was about the attention his Moony was giving the other dog, that was really cute. <3

Really enjoyed this, love.
