| I found this little bit intreguing. I've been living in 'Sirius Denial' since the fifth book came out. Afterall, he only went thorugh an archway it could be portal to somewhere I mean he can't just be gone like that and so on. I don't know how you did it but you brought the reality of his death to light in away the book never has. and while part of me hopes he really isn't dead still I know Rowling won't bring him back, very well written piece truely. |

See, that is what makes me love fanfiction. You can have so many ideas for stories but there is always one that you will remember, and most likely it isn't yours. This fits into that category. Brought tears to my eyes, I loved it so much.

| Wow - I just have to say that I didn't cry in book 4, I didn't cry in book 5 (I was too busy being pissed off and bitter) and I certainly have never cried in any fanfic reading.... but you got a tear. That's incredible. I think it's because it fills that gap, that horribly unfinished, unresolved tear that is Sirius... but whatever it was, that was powerful! |

| A really lovely story. I especially like the way Sirius expresses his grief at leaving Harry alone, and the comment "Welcome home" at the end. Fits well with DD's statement that "to the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure." |

| How sad! I really liked it, because it gave hope that Sirius isn't just dead. He's with James and Lily, and it makes me feel a little better about him being gone, but I still wish he was still alive. |

I think I might have already reviewed this, but I read it again and tears are falling again so I'm reviewing again...
What can I say? This is a beautiful and beautifully written piece that plays with one's emotions, portraying as it does so much pain, suffering and loneliness (past, present and future), but at the same time a measure of peace.
Thank you.

I have just had a good cry! This story is short, but so sad. Well bittersweet really, Sirius sees Lily and James again, leaving Harry behind. Oh...It was very interesting. It is a perfect missing moment for OOtP! Thank you...I needed this. :)
Keep up the good work Robin, I really like your fics. |

I really liked this. Especially the line
"“Hello, Sirius.” Her voice was exactly as he’d remembered it. It was almost too perfect, and Lily hugged him with the same warmth she always had, even if her eyes were more melancholy than they had once been."
It gives the idea that James and Lily are not perfectly happy, as they shouldn't be. They've missed so much and having to watch from the sidelines is obviously going to hurt them.
I also felt the forgiveness scene was important. Part of Sirius' torture has always been that he suggested Peter, you gave him closure to that, as well as more with the thank you.
Well done, I hope to read more from you |

Wow! It was so emotional, I loved it. Are you going to continue with this? I don't know where exactly you could go with it, but it was fantastic. My favorite:
"...for being his dad when I couldn’t.'
Sirius turned to look at James and felt tears cloud his vision once more. 'I could never be you, James,' he whispered."
OHhh!! I was just about to cry! Thanks, it was great!!! |

Great.
Not many stories can make me cry but be great at the same time.
Though I do believe JKR has another plan for Sirius, it is still a good story.

What I loved about this story was that although it was initially dark, sad and haunting, you didn't allow it to continue through the whole fic. Sure, at the start it portrayed the shock and the sadness when Sirius realised he was dead. He knew he would never be able to go back, he knew his best friend and his godson were watching as they saw him fall behind the veil, and he knew he was leaving them with the pain of llsing a loved one. But afterwards, the mood changed to that of acceptance, hope and reconciliation. The last words left me with a small smile on my face.
It was lovely to see Sirius finally being able to apologise for his mistake 14 years ago. Of course, we knew that James and Lily would forgive him, but Sirius would always have been haunted by his last minute decision to switch with Peter. How you described Sirius as noting that James and Lily hadn't changed a bit was moving, how it triggered his memories.
The two bits which stood out most for me was the bit when Sirius thought James looked so much like Harry, rather than the other way round. Also the sentence:
"And everything else died away. His godson’s scream echoed in his ears. It would for all eternity."
That really rang out for me. Well done! |

Thank you for writing this beautiful piece, Robin. I creid with Sirius and James, and yet in a strange way they were also happy tears.
The thought of those two friends at last being together and watching someone they both loved is a tribute to the strength of love and true friendship. A moving a fitting sense of closure. |
