Your genius mix of humor and lush solemnity, leaves me smiling. In fact, I have to say that I enjoyed your writing style immensely.

This story was much more than story. Of course, the plot was engaging - how could anyone not love angsty, indecisive Remus and charmingly generous Sirius who wears his heart on his sleeve? But it was more than plot. It was how you told the story. You had passages of such gentle beauty (They spoke softly, laughing at a joke so oft-shared it was tattered at the edges. They moved closer to each other, the better to hear each other’s whispered voice and so they would not wake anyone, or so they told themselves.) mixed with lovely bits of humor (Often work kept him out late, and he’d go mumbling incoherently to his bed and sometimes only make it to the sofa. One night, swaying dangerously over the coffee table and reciting his grocery list out loud, he began to think idly of Remus and how he kissed Remus and when his body was about to make acquaintance with the table he had his epiphany.). And that was utterly, utterly effective.

I really, really enjoyed this.
