| Wow. I can see why this made Story of the Week. Such a difficult reflection for Remus, and you did it so beautifully. |

That was simply beautiful. I'm not usually one for first person narrative, but that was really good. The scene at the beginning was like a picture; I could see everything in my mind: the light, the snow, Remus all alone.
The backflash to his childhood was very well written, as well. The way the parents talked about him as if he wasn't there was terrible, but also terribly believable. It reminded me of Kafka. Only this was a lot more enjoyable to read.
And thanks for the small smile that Remus friends gave back to me in the end. |

Well done. I liked your imagery, your description of a humid, snowy night with the sourceless, diffuese light was great. Although I don't agree with you that Remus' parents were so callous about his condition, you wrote that scene very well.
Great job! |

| Wow. That's really sad, but VERY well-written. His parents' reaction was terrible. So incredibly shallow of them, and my heart really went out to Remus. Very nice job with this story! It certainly deserves to be the story of the week. Well done! 10/10 |

This is such a wonderul piece. Heartbreaking for the most part, yet uplifting at the end. We see a side of Remus that he wouldn't normally show anyone, and it made me want to give him a big hug!
Your use of the moon as a She was brilliant. I think that's how Remus would indeed feel about it. Hating it, yet being pulled to it every month.
The end, with the rest of the boys, was sweet. It gave me hope that Remus would have more happiness in his life. We know that things will change, but at least for the moment, he'll have friends who care.
Again, great fic! |

The moon! It's so beautiful, yet tortures him so... I think he has some measure of respectful fear of it. I--won't go into it now? Haha. I tend to get rambly and excited about Remus-talk.
But thanks, so much, for the review! Will soon write a fic complete with his happiness... he deserves more of it. |

| Gulp. Lovely, wonderful Remus, cruel, folorn memories and a sweet-sad ending. Well done.

| Cheers! Being a werewolf, you wouldn't expect it all to be happy-go-lucky, but then he needs the other balance... And thus come The Marauders. |

This was beautiful. Your imagery is amazing and heartbreaking and Remus' parents were incredibly well written. It had never occurred to me that they isolated him after he was bitten, but the way you've written explains the isolation he feels throughout PoA all the more understandable. I really, really enjoyed the way you wrote this story. And I especially liked the end dialogue
"How long have you three been there?"
"Long enough to see that you put too much thought into the weather," a voice answers from the corner, a lopsided grin splayed across his face."
Very typical of their friendship. With Scabbers there instead of Peter and James standing silently by and letting Sirius do the talking. I would pick some descriptions out for you that I liked, but that would be like copying your whole story into one review.
I felt like I was there with Remus, and I loved this insight into his character. Extremely compelling and well done!

Thank-you. Definitely... I really wish we could get more insight into his character in books. More of what his history was rather than just the hints at it; that way we could have a better scope of it.
Until then, I'll just get my kicks by writing about him.
Thanks! Scabbers... Peter definitely deserves more credit despite being a traitor. Random comment. |

Woah. That was really good. My heart clenched painfully when I read the bit with Remus' parents... I just couldn;t believe they could be so cruel. A part of me can't understand their horrible reaction... I always imgained his parents as supportive- it was a default reaction when I read PoAzkaban, but after having read this, it makes me see that Remus feels alone for other reasons than being a werewolf (or maybe even because his parents passed on). Well, this was amazing! I hope to read more from you soon!

Thank-you! So much. My first review. (Hmmm. Yes, I'm caught up with that... who doesn't like a bit of an ego boost when they sign into their email early in the morning?)
Yes... My view of Remus' parents has changed a lot. Originally I've had them as outright cruel, but now I think it's an initial pain-shock to what he is... Supportive but how much could they have dealt with it perfectly well?
*laughs* I could talk about this for hours. |
