I am going to try to leave comments both places...

That was astoundingly lovely; you had me hooked from the first, beautiful paragraph to to the last, wistful sentence. It was extremely well-written and the writing had a marvelous lyric and rhythmic quality to it. I also have to say that, if this was co-written, it flowed remarkably well and it was virtually impossible to tell that more than one person worked on the prose. That might have sounded confusing, but all I meant to say was that the entire piece has a very solid structure to the the point that it really seemed like there was only one author at work. And maybe there was? Who knows!

And the art was incredible! The sorts of pictures you can stare at over and over again! I really love how you captured their style (70's, punk, etc.) and yet made it feel so genuinely Remus and Sirius. The details on Sirius's jacket were particularly wonderful.

There was a lot to love about this, but I was especially intrigued by little details such as wands overheating (which makes perfect sense, though I'd never thought of it before) and carving out the book as a trove for momentous. That last bit said a lot about Sirius' character, too.

This was just wonderful!
