Thank you! I’m glad that my kind of intimacy seems to have worked for you: that our closeness to Remus’s experience didn’t disturb you (too much), and the lack of explicitly shippy interaction wasn’t (too) disappointing. It’s reassuring that you’ve found the bit of resolution requested as well.
Oh, you’ve made me realise what a telling detail it is that Remus thinks Sirius will be disappointed with his lack of spirit. There aren’t many unambiguous thoughts about their relationship, are there? And this one can probably be interpreted in various ways. Perhaps Remus would like to please Sirius, and thinks that Sirius wishes he were stronger and that Sirius can’t understand what the loss of loving parents means. Or whatever… Thank you again for an inspiring comment.
