Oh, wow. That was so beautiful! The whole feel of this fic is just so genuine, and you hit on all the things I wished for! I particularly love that this was from Sirius' pov, that he was slightly different but very IC, and how his newfound maturity just feels like a natural progression of his character, had things gone this way.
I also really love the bits between Sirius and Remus. The banter is just ridiculously perfect in its mix of awkwardness and familiarity and ease, like this:
Sirius leaned in to give him a sideways squeeze. "You, my Moony, worry too much. It didn't, he did, everything's going to be all right now!"
Remus smiled ruefully. "This time of the year, I'm maudlin in the cold. You've met me."
"True. Anyway, there's nothing like nearly freezing to make me grateful to be home with your upbeat self."
Remus reached up and clasped his long cool fingers around Sirius' strong hand where he was absently caressing Remus' collarbone.
"You're still as skinny as ever Moony," Sirius tutted.
"Sorry, Mother."
I don't think I'm come close to conveying how much love I have for this, but I hope you get the gist. THANK YOU!!!
