Oh, thank you so much for your beautiful words. After realising that in a fic set in this era my Remus could not possibly ignore his parents’ deaths (which I had written about a long time before in other parts of his story), I felt compelled to include this tragedy as subtly as possible, so it wouldn’t all turn into too blatant angst. I’m relieved that readers don’t seem to think that I’ve added unnecessary hardships to his life. It’s also heartwarming to know that you could enjoy R/S intimacy depicted in my subtle ways.
