Story: 2005 Gift for Tina


*HUGS* You've no idea how great it is to be asked to write the puppies- this is the very first fic I wrote when it came to these giftfics and I knocked it out in a day, I had so much fun with it. I love the pups so, and I think it's fantastic my fics have helped you stray a little into the world of slash. I've really cherished your feedback and help this past year with my fics. I hope that you will enjoy this and that it will show my appreciation. And I hope you have a very merry Christmas!

Well, I had half of my fb posted and I did something stupid and made it disppear. It doesn't seeem to be showing up as posted(but it will once I post it again :) ) so I'll start again.

I think I started with something like THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!!
tg, I absolutely love this fic, it's just perfect puppies! There's just so much I loved. The awkwardness in the beginning was very sweet. For the first few lines I wasn't sure what point they were at in their relationship, it almost seemed that they were very new, but that led perfectly to James and Peter's plan. I loved that James and Peter were worried about Remus and tried to make sure he didn't catch Sirius' cold. We know how easy Remus gets sick after his transformations :)

Sirius' sniffing and sneezing was wonderful, I just loved it.You also totally captured so many characteristics that I see as truly "Remus" - him really needing to take care of Sirius, being sorry that he "bothered" Sirius to see if he needed a glass of water, and of course the tucking!

"He had a blanket from his bed with him and he threw it over the bed. Then he proceeded to tuck it around Sirius tightly. Tucking, Remus had decided long ago, was what really made the difference."
This strikes me as truly, perfectly Remus - who else but him would figure that out. I love it.

And this is my favorite part of the fic -
"But as Remus leaned over Sirius, getting just a little bit closer, Sirius reached out from beneath the covers, disturbing and disrupting them. Remus was halfway to scolding Sirius about it when Sirius reached up and gave him a little push away. “Go… I…” He brought the hand back and cupped it to his nose and mouth. “I have to… hehh… dod’t wad you catchig-hehhhhhhh-this…” He struggled to keep his eyes open as he watched for Remus to back up, out of the way. Then he turned his head towards his pillow and muffled his sneezes into both the pillowcase and his hand. “hehChffff! herShfffff! hehShiffffff!”
It's just perfect I love Sirius trying to talk and having to sneeze, trying to push Remus away. I can totally picture it. I can't even describe how much I like that part - did I already say perfect? Am I kissing up ???

I also reaaly enjoyed your Sirus, he also seemed so true to me, not wanting Remus to get sick, but really wanting Remus to take care of him. You could tell he really was trying, but there was no way he'd send Remus out of his bed once he was there. And really, how could he, that is where Remus belonged.

It also made sense that even though James and Peter were trying to help, they wouldn't really be able to take care of Sirius the way he needed it, and it really wouldn't have been as much fun if they did.

tg, I really appreciate this fic so much, it was a wonderful treat today. I got to read it in bits and pieces this morning, but got to really sit down and read it (several times) tonight. I hope my fb is coherent and not too rambling, I just finished all my work stuff( I worked from home today) and I have limited brain cells left, but I really wanted to post fb and a thank you tonight to let you know how much I love the fic.
I've also loved the others that I've read so far, I'll try to give you some fb on them tomorrow.

I'm hoping to have your fic done in the next few days.

PS I just spotted about a thousand typos, I fixed what I saw, but I'm sure there's more so I'm sending an official apology for my sloppy, two finger typing.
