Countdown to Small Gifts 4/6: Remus or Sirius?

[smallgiftsmods.livejournal.com]

Hi, folks! If you're just joining us, we're on DAY FOUR of six days of discussion before Small Gifts begins posting. Start off by introducing yourself (and meeting fellow participants and watchers) over here!

Today's question: Remus or Sirius? No, no, you don't need to pick one or the other, but do you identify more with one? Do you tend to enjoy fic written from one POV? Did you find yourself attracted to one character before the other? Do you feel more protective of one? Do you tend to favor one pining...or one making the first move?

I identify with both of them, for different reasons.  The reasons are relatively personal (http://clovenbuttercup.livejournal.com/11205.html), so I've linked to meta I've written on it rather than going into it here - I can project on things, sometimes, and that's not what I want to do.

Moony is my favourite character in the fandom, so I mostly prefer stuff that's sympathetic to him if not in his POV; I also feel protective of him, but that may be me projecting.  I used to be less fond of Sirius than I am now, but these days would happily read from either POV.

As far as pining goes most of the fic I've read where this is a thing tends to be from Sirius' POV, although not exclusively, and I think I prefer them that way. I don't have a preference on who makes the first move :)
