I realise you're probably not reading comment on this fic anymore, but this was just lovely. I enjoyed it so much, and the slowly simmering tragedy throughout is just too delicious for words. Also, I don't read many fics from Sirius's perspective, and I think you did an amazing job on that. It seems like something that would be difficult to do.

Finally, I had some questions, mostly about a lot of the foreshadowing that didn't seem to be tied up at the end... Like when they're at school and Remus asks Sirius if he'd take Reggie back even now as long as he admitted he'd made a mistake, but he's supposed to be talking about someone else? Whether it's about himself or Sirius, I don't understand the connection. And that stuff about Remus going to all these fake job interviews... what was the significance of that? What was he really supposed to have been doing? Sirius is narrating here from a position of knowledge, talking about a past he already understands, so why is he acting like Remus was up to no good when he knows he wasn't the traitor? I guess I'm just afraid I didn't catch the answers to these questions, and I got SO CAUGHT UP in your fic and the universe it creates, that I want to know ALL THE THINGS. :P

Anyway, it was an absolutely wonderful read. Thank you so much. :)
