Countdown to small gifts 5/6: Character talk

[smallgiftsmods.livejournal.com]

What aspects of Sirius' or Remus' characters do you yourself identify with? Are you attracted to the characters or the pairing because you see something in their lives or their relationship that reminds you of your own?

Like (fanon?) Remus, I too wear a lot of cardigans. XD

I identify with both of them on different levels and different circumstances, but where my buttons really get pushed is with Sirius and his relationship to his brother. We know so little about them. I have this whole elaborate headcanon about them and when I write AUs I make sure to keep Reg in Sirius' life. Tend to give them a good relationship too. I have a thing for families. :p and siblings. I'm a big sister myself and would do anything for my little siblings, and I imagine Sirius would too.

The family dynamics draw me in, too. A different part of a character's personality comes out with a parent or a sibling--it makes them fuller, for me, to have this background. And I love Grimmauld Place as a family-laden setting.

I haven't read any Pottermore, so I don't know Remus' family story, but I enjoy imagining it. M.

I love reading stories with Regulus in them!
