| No, I must correct my comment a little..I've read it few times because of my translation attempt..and I cried whenever I flicked through it. That's the only fanfiction story, which has made it to me.. |

| Wow. That was one of the most heartwrenching stories I've ever read. I'm astounded. The amazing bond you have created between Sirius and Remus has touched me throughout your many enjoyable stories. This is the ultimate show of love. Thank you for deciding to post this story. |

| Wow, that just tears me up, so beautiful, so full of love (of the friendship kind). I'm very glad you did decide to share it with us. Was it partly inspired by the ending of 'of mice and men'? |

| this left me with a very odd feeling. I think it's somewhere between crying and smiling. that doesn't happen to me evry often with fanfic - well done. an excellent, poignant story, and you've resisted the tempatation to write a soppy ending, which makes the story all the more interesting. |

Oh wow. This was really, really, really, really sad. *Wipes away a tear*
I found it interesting how you think vampires are created when a werewolf dies. I had never really thought about anything like that. So terribly sad what they all had to go through. Poor Remus. Poor Sirius.
I'm so glad that I read this story. I will have to go read your other stories now. Wonderful job. |

| I can hardly see to write this right now, I'm crying so hard. This is such a beautiful story, so sad, and so poignant. I've been scared to death of late that our Moony may meet his end in JKRverse, there's been a lot of speculation about it. But I think poor Remus would prefer it this way, on his own terms. I loved Sirius, very much as I would imagine dealing with it. First anger, then great sadness, then attempting to lighten the situation with a joke. That's our Padfoot. Their relationship was portrayed beautifully, and the ending was perfect. I have to stop now, I really can't see, but needless to say, I love this story, angst or not. Thank you, Alkari! |

| I don't know if I reviewed this before, but even if I did, it's worth doing again. I've never read such a sad story that still has such a satisfying ending...and wow, have you done well. I'm almost in tears over here, and that never happens to me. I love the emotion you include: it's just enough to be perfect. And I love Sirius' care at the end, how he stays with the wolf until daylight, and then does what has to be done. I sincerely hope that JKR allows Remus a way out of this dreadful curse, but if not, your's is the perfect ending to it all. Again, great job. I love this story. |

| Okay, I read this after "That's What Little Boys Are Made Of" and when Sirius was listing the ways Remus could have killed himself, and he mentioned a silver arrow or bullet, wasn't Sirius's broomstick a Silver Arrow? That's scary. But anyway, this was so great and sad! I loved it! You have to write more! |

That was so sad. Did you make up that whole Werewolves turn into Vampires thing or did that come from somewhere? I've never heard of that before (not that I'm really an expert).
I really love all these Remus stories! Even if this one was horribly sad.

(Gives a shaky sigh) Wow... Just Wow... (Wipes eyes) That was amazing... The bond of friendship in this story... wow... I was downloading music *happy music* while I read through this breifly. Then when I realized what it was about, I stopped my downloads and played a really sad song and read it... It's sooo powerful... It's beautifully written... My God, you have a real talent to put me into tears... (Wipes tears that are blurring Liz's vision) I think this is one of the best Remus and Sirius friendship stories I've ever read... You should warn people in your summary that it is a real tear jerker...
(Sighs a more controled breath) Wow.... Just Wow....
I hope JK Rowling doesn't do that to poor Remus... I love him so much!

This story should have a warning. It's one of the *very* few that have actually induced tears... Remus and Sirius's friendship is so beautiful and heartbreaking. God, I hope something like this doesn't happen in the books... |

Eeeep! This story should come with a warning - I'm mopping my eyes with my coffee napkins, and my co-workers are looking at me strangely.
Wonderful, evocative writing that never falls over (or even begins to approach) the cliff of easy sentimentality. The facing of brutal truths, and making the hard choice is perfectly told. I love your portrayal of both Remus and Sirius, and the last sentence was heartbreaking. |

| It's a good thing this has to be typed, because I wouldn't be able to speak over the lump in my throat.Compassion, strength, friendship,love...we all wish we could be so blessed to have such a relationship...it is what we all want, but so few have. I know I don't have it. I want to believe you really care and that you cried as you wrote. Some writers make the mistake of writing something inane or silly at the end. You didn't. You let us keep our moment of silence. Can we look forward to more stories from you? I hope so. |

Dear Alkari,
I read your other fanfic,"That's What Little Boys Are Made Of" and I loved it. I thought there wouldn't be a better one than that one. How very wrong I was.
Lupin is, besides Harry, and in many ways even more than Harry, one of my favorite characters, so naturally I was pleased when I read little boys. Besides pinning down Lupin's character so perfectly and doing the same for Sirius, you are absolutely superb in the way that you weave your tale. Who ever would have thought there was so much that happened before Harry was even born? I can only hope, dream, and wish that JK Rowling writes a series about what happened before Harry's time at Hogwarts-about Remus, James, Sirius, and Peter of course! Sometimes I find myself more fascinated with the world of those four boys than I do of Harry, Hermione, and Ron, and I have partly you and partly the third HP book to thank for that. You have created the world of the four Hogwarts boys to become so vivid in my mind that as I read the third book, I wonder if it didn't really happen.
I sincerely hope you will write more fanfics about Lupin and his fabulously written best friends, because you are a fantastic writer. I cried when I read this one-I am amazed at how easily you are able to pull and manipulate the heart of the reader. :) If you aren't already in the writing business, I say look into it! You're really very good at writing. Say, I'm writing a HP fanfic, and it's got a lot of Lupin in it. Since you seem to be as interested in Lupin as I am, please tell me you'll read it when I'm done. I'm hoping for Sirius to be in it too, but since I jump all over the place writing scenes when writing my story, I haven't been able to write him in yet. See, if I don't wait to write a scene for my story, I can picture it better in my mind so therefore I will write a scene even if it comes at the very end of the story, and it flows easily from my fingertips and the scene is written much better than leaving it until it would normally be time to write it. And this is my first fanfic, so I'm hoping you will. I loved your stories, and I can hardly wait to read the rest of them.
Luv,
Alisas |

I think it is a great story. Unexpected, yes. However
does well to express the truth of true friendship
and the need for those one can trust for anything. |

| I think I need a whole box of tissues. My god--you certainly know how to make one's heart ache! At the line, "The wolf had only been able to go a short way this last time, just to the gate into the field and back" I just had to swallow back some tears (oh to be so affected by a story!! I guess that's just an indication of a very good writer...). You conveyed Sirius's stoicism well and managed to make Remus' passing not the least bit maudlin. I still can't get over how very very sad this bit is--the bonfire and the pledge to the Marauders... Well done. |

Not fair!!!
Please tell me it doesn't take place in the same universe as your other two stories....
I am going to pretend that "What little Boys made of" and "Unusual student" both take place in Thing1's world or some other world. And this is a standalone. otherwise I wouldn't be able to reread any of the others...

| When I was in school, I wrote a paper about allowing a terminally ill person to choose death instead of a painful, drawn-out illness. I really believe that people should be given the choice, even though I probably wouldn't do it myself. This must have been very hard to write and you did a great job of showing the issues involved in making the decision. Both Sirius and Remus were well done. |
