I really liked how you handled this. It was sad but comforting as well. I love when the friendship between Remus and James is highlighted, and that doesn't happen often enough in fic. Thanks for this.

Thank you. Their friendship really isn't explored enough. I'm glad you liked it.

OH, that was just wonderful. Poor screwed up Remus.

Oh wow, I loved this!! So unique! James shows up three days later. Oh my God, you had me right there! What a great set up, and you have wonderful lines all throughout. I love the vignette structure, with every line meaning so much more for its sparseness. I love the reasons Sirius and Lily don't show. I love anything that looks at the friendship between James and Remus without Sirius as intermediary, and this did that so well. And he doesn't know Tonks is dead, oh, ouch. So original and well told. :)

Really gorgeous! I especially loved how you dealt with Remus' reaction to PoA!Harry.

Beautiful little story, truly. The Remus/James dynamic isn't explored often enough, really, and I find it interesting that it is James that Remus ends up talking to for all these years. I also like how you touch more than one era.

Oh, lovely fic~

This was incredibly poignant. Really intense heartache in it, and so gorgeous. Considered having a wee cry partway through :). Loved it.
