MOMENTS OF BLISS by moonymaniac

Rated: 6th-7th Years •
Summary: Remus Lupin is a man with a tragic past, filled with pain, suffering and sorrow. But it is also a past filled with great adventure, true friendship and…love? Even though the odds were against him, Remus found happiness at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He had the Marauders, he was a prefect and his transformations were less horrible, thanks to his Animagi friends. What more could a teenage werewolf want? And how long could his happiness last? Remus and the Marauders prove that in the saddest of lives and darkest of times, there can still be moments of bliss.

Remus centric but with a lot of the other Marauders. This story is a romance, but has almost as much general Marauder era background and side story as romance.
Pre-HBP and DH, so some things from DH will be disregarded, as the warning indicates, but some Spoilers will be incorporated.

Yay, more! I had to tear myself away from the new HP to come read this. I like it that much. It was great, and always so cute! Ha, poor Remus, he's always being embarassed.

Author's Response: Oh, my, Gin_Drinka. You do know how to flatter me. :*) Thank you so much. I really am thrilled you like it so much.

Fwibble. Lol, cute name. No need to say how goood it was, you get that enough. I like where the plot is going.

Author's Response: I sat and thought of names for a while and when that hit me, I just liked saying it. Fwibble...it makes me happy. I\'m glad you like it. Um...<.< you can never get that too much. >,> ;) LOL Thank you, Gin_Drinka.

I wonder what this Darlene is going to do...poor Remus. But you're great with their characterisation, They sound just like 16 year old boys. Great job!

Author's Response: Oh, yay! I've tried a couple of times to get male betas to help keep them sounding like 16 year old boys, but no success. I am depending on the many many hours spent in the company of my mostly male friends to help me out. Still, I feel like they might have acted a little differently when I wasn't around. Not too differently though. They were pretty obnoxious even with me there. LOL Thanks, Gin_Drinka.

Oh...how sweet...I was missing this story...I like the way you write Sirius...most stories say he's a ladies man, but then he *poof* becomes uncharacteristically devoted to one person. No matter how much I would like to see that, this is more realistic. Remus is always so adorable. ANd Lindi makes me laugh..

"Don't be so- so rude!"
Lol, that was hysterical. I want more! And congrats on the QSQ nominations...*coughInominatedcough*


Author's Response: Thank you so much, Gin_Drinka, and not just for taking the time to leave this lovely review. ;) I am so honored you think highly enough of the story and Lindi to nominate them. It really means so much to me. *huggles*

I'm glad to see Lily's coming back a little. Can't wait for the J/Lness to kick in. And for the challenge, that'll be extremely interesting. I supose he'll be telling her soon. I wish I didn't have a bad feeling about this. By the way, I think you did a great job incorporating DH into this,


Author's Response: Thank you, Gin_Drinka. Lily and James might not actually start dating until 7th year but I can\'t wait until then to have them interact at all. That would be rather unrealistic, I think; so yes, she\'ll be popping into the picture from time to time. :) You have a bad feeling? I wish I could offer you comfort, but alas, I can\'t. No spoilers allowed! ;) I\'m glad the tidbits from DH worked for you. I was afraid they might seem too abrupt since I haven\'t had a chance to incorporate them into the previous chapters. Someday, I hope to build them up a bit more smoothly. But for now, thank you. I really appreciate the review.

Lol, i like Mundungus too...glad you used him.

Author's Response: :) *loves Mundungus* He cracks me up, though I was very disappointed when he stole things from Sirius. *considers hexing Mundungus in an upcoming chapter* LOL I wrote a drabble about him for a challenge on the forums that was a lot of fun to write and it didn\'t turn out too well for old Dung, so maybe that\'s good enough. *giggles* Thank you, Gin_Drinka..

Ohhh....I love the way they slowly grow up. I think in the HP books they grow up too slow. Your pace is better. I love Sirius!!! Adore him!!!! Lol, he had to be the first. How cute.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

that was so perfect!!! Lol, I read this at school when I had time, and once I was done I couldn't stop squealing and giggling. I asked the guys I was with if they thought I was a raving lunatic and they said, yeah, but a cute one...lol
This is my alltime favourite story. It's that great. You do an indescribably beautiful job with Remus's character...in most stories he's just too much of a saint....and I love how their relationship isn't childish, but is still sort of clueless...it's perfect! I wish I could review every single chapter, as your story deserves a million reviews, but I really don't have time what with exams. Well, I'm satisfied knowing I've gotten my point across just how much I love this!
Mia

Author's Response: I\'m so glad you enjoyed it, Mia. Thank you so much. I\'m particularly glad to know you like Remus and Lindi\'s relationship. They aren\'t children and they aren\'t quite grown, but their feelings are strong and valid, yet they are also inexperienced, so I\'m happy if that is how they come across. Goodness...I\'d love a million reviews, but I\'d never be able to keep up. LOL So I\'ll take a few (or a few more!) like these lovely ones and be happy. ;) Thank you so much!!

Hi again!
I hope you're alright! You said in the review response that you were having health troubles. Sorry. I just left the hospital a whlie ago, where I have been the whole weekend, as my sister had an operation. But she's getting better now...anyway, getting to the point.
I totally agree with you that his lycanthropy is a HUGE deal. You're characterisation of him is perfect, I mean it. You do him better than JK does. Lol, hehe. Stupid Fenrir, always messing things up. And his mother is always there to embarass him a little...of course Sirius and James beat her at that. They are SO funny! I can't wait to see some J/Lness, as that is my favourite ship. And Sirius is beyond perfect! I'm just worried about the prank...I think it'll have sometihng to do with Lindi, am I right....no don't tell me, I want to be surprised. As if you would tell me anyway, lol.
Great job, as usual!

Author's Response: Thank you for your concern, Gin_Drinka. I\'m making it. LOL Your wonderful reviews have helped keep me motivated, even if I have been slow. I hope your sister is fully recovered. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments on my characterization. LOLOL better than JK...you do flatter me, but I appreciate the exageration. :-D You don\'t want to know if you are correct about the prank? You\'re right...not about the prank, but about me telling you...as if! *snicker* ;) But that part is coming up in the near future, so hopefully you won\'t have to wait too terribly long to find out. Thank you, Gin_Drinka.

Author's Response: That would be exaggeration... :*)

The Upside of Being Down by Kimberley

Rated: Professors •
Summary: *COMPLETED!*What happens when you put a hopelessly "romantic" man-hussy and a girl with a soft spot for bedtime activities (not THOSE activities, silly!) together in a dark bedroom? Well, I don't happen to know either, so I suppose we'll find out together, won't we? Come with me, Tia C. Spencer, on a lovely ride through the countryside... er, lakeside... okay, so we won't actually be riding NEXT to anything, but it will be lovely, I promise you that. How can it not be, with me as your illustrious (and quite possibly mad) companion?



And no, contrary to beliefs very likely impressed upon you by this summary, I'm not a gormless prat.



Well... not entirely.

I love this story. It is in my favorites. You write wonderfully and this was so sweet! Tia is just great, and I love Sirius, whatever he does. It was great and I love it and I love the title of this last chapter. Great great great job!



'Yes' by nat089

Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: James Potter usually accepts dares without batting an eyelash. However, this time, while he’s on a dare, he's also on a personal mission. But first, he’s anxiously waiting for Lily to turn up. What does Lily have to do with this dare? And what will she say when she finds out?

(One shot)


[Author's Note]
Before you start commenting that the dare was unromantic, please please read the 2nd sentence of the 4th paragraph. I clearly state that "James was steeling himself to do SOMETHING HE WANTED TO DO VERY MUCH EVEN WITHOUT BEING DARED TO". In other words, the dare was the catalyst, not the cause. It only served to spur him into action; it didn't give him the intention of doing what he did (I'm trying not to give out spoilers here, so read to find out what - though you can probably guess ;)).
