Oh, dear Merlin, how do I begin to describe something that resonated so powerfully with me? Where are the words? I guess I shall just try to put some thoughts down, but please be aware this comment shall be an utter mess...
First off, the whole concept was brilliant. The way the different universes and time frames dance and intertwine was fascinating. Each one was so tantalizing, making me want to explore it deeper, but it was, in the end, the entire whole that made it was it was. Y'all so very much captured that idea of destiny and true love. I have quite a soft spot for this sort of thing, for fate, destiny, and alternative universes, and you made it all work brilliantly.
And, I'll admit it, as a gardener (and, ironically, former cellist, though that is hardly important) the flower bits really made me feel all sorts of things. You got me thinking about the things I grow and they make me (and might make others) feel - and you captured the essence of Sirius beautifully as well. what a phenomenal tool for character development.
Remus as a cellist, young-boy explorer, and wild-west cartographer? Each and every iteration of him - of both of them, really - was compelling and I found myself wishing that there were entire comics about each one of these.
Of course, the art was gorgeous and emotional. I love the way that the art, itself, visually portrayed that idea of intertwining stories and realities. From the string at the beginning to the tiny tear drops and sometimes even flowers that found their way into other realities to the very layout and flow, the art just made me feel the ideas of collision and intertwining. Brilliant! Like the violin and cello duet, the gorgeous art and and writing flowed together like song, the perfect accompaniment to one another. Each was poetry on its own, but together, they were positively symphonic.
