Hehehe at Sirius saying baby Harry sounds like a diseased mandrake.
"Later that evening, she'd found him weeping silent tears as he held a sleeping Teddy, rocking slowly in the ancient wooden rocking chair in Teddy's bedroom. She'd taken the child from him and lain him in his cot, then gathered Harry in her arms and held him as they both wept. They'd never spoken about it afterwards, but there wasn't anything more that needed to be said." - AW!
"We want you to be the baby's godfather, you great git," James said, and threw the bottlecap back, striking him in the forehead. Sirius stared. "Godfather. Like the Muggles do?" "Wizards do it, too, you know," James said. "What, you don't have a godfather?" "Are you daft? Wizards may do it, but it came from the Muggles. My family adopt a Muggle tradition? Ha! It pains them that they have to breathe the same air. So wait, you have a godfather?" James nodded. "Had. He died when I was fourteen. You remember my Uncle Orrick, mum's brother." Sirius laughed. "The bloke who blew off his arse cheek and couldn't sit down after? The one Moody's always going on about?" - Hehehe, no wonder Mad-Eye warned Harry about losing a buttock if he kept carrying his wand in his jeans' back pocket.
"and threw the bottlecap back" - "bottle cap".
"James nodded. "Yeah. I know. You've always been family to me. But we wanted to ask. I wanted to ask." "Speaking of, it's one in the eye for the ol' family, too. My mum'll go completely spare, you know she will." He shook his head. "Godfather." James raised his glass. "I'll make sure to send her the announcement." He felt completely giddy and he bounced a little bit in his seat, grinning widely. "I'm going to be a godfather!" - I hope nasty Walburga yelled herself into a right horrid case of laryngitis after she heard.
AW! at Teddy's little chubby arms.
"He knew so little, and this thought troubled him frequently. Often, he would wake in the night, his heart racing as he scrabbled for a quill and ink, and anything he could find to write upon, scribbling frantic, half-forgotten fragments of memories of both Remus and Tonks before they faded into the night. It wasn't much, but it was more than he had of his own parents, and he wanted to give to Teddy what he could not have for himself." - AW!
"What the hell am I supposed to do with this?" he'd said, puzzled and even slightly offended. Lily had merely laughed at him and replied, "Whatever you want to do with it. But no naughty pictures, or so help me, Sirius Black!" "This" was a Muggle journal, and Lily had given it to him the week after the McKinnons had been murdered, and Marlene's aging mother had taken her young, orphaned granddaughter and left for the Continent. "You want me to—to keep a diary? Are you out of your bleeding mind?" "Not a diary. A journal. It's…" She'd trailed off and turned away, the smile and any hint of laughter gone from both her expression and her voice. "For Harry," she'd said. "If something happens…to us, to you…I—" - What a sweet (and sad, in the light of what happened to Lil and James) idea Lily had there.
"The way he felt about Harry had come as a complete surprise to him. He loved Remus and Peter and Lily. And James, of course. There was no describing how he felt about James. Professor McGonagall had often remarked that they were two bodies sharing the same brain, and while she meant it as derision, Sirius had taken it as a compliment. They were as close as any two people who weren't sleeping together could possibly be, and he'd never really given his feelings much thought before. Well, he'd thought about them, but he'd never felt a need to explain them." - AW!
"So different, you and I," Sirius whispered, and Harry blinked sleepily up at him. Well, maybe not so different, really, he thought. James and Lily loved them both after all, and he supposed he was loved by his own family once, when he was this small. Before he knew any better; before he learned what the world was like and that for some, love came at a price." - AW!
"I will always—" Harry paused, the unspoken 'be here for you' still on the tip of his tongue. An image of Sirius whispering that exact phrase to a black-haired, green-eyed baby seventeen years ago, and meaning it as intensely as Harry did now, flashed across his mind. He quickly decided not to start out Teddy's life making promises he couldn't keep. He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Teddy's forehead, and whispered the promise that Sirius had managed to keep: "I will always love you." - AW!
Nessie-san chapter 1 . 10/22/2011
Lisa-san, I found your stories by reading Junjou Romantica smut (as I usually find authors/stories - people who write good smut tend to write other good fics), and I'm very glad I did. This fic was good enough to make me cry, and it takes a very, very subtle and touching, or else a very, very horrible (not as in the story was horribly written, but as in the story was horrifying...like a really creepy story...ANYWAY!) story to make me cry. Thank you so much for writing for this fandom ) I usually don't like Harry Potter fanfics very much, because a lot of the time they're for pairings I don't support (JamesxSirius, Albus Potter x Scorpius Malfoy, etc.), but your fics, even the yaoi ones (I generally don't support Harry Potter yaoi at all, since most of the male characters do get married to females eventually), are very brilliant. Thank you for writing, Lisa-san ')

Wow... I quite liked this little story as it went along, especially the scene of Harry's birth. But those last few paragraphs were just wow... so powerful I found tears suddenly springing to my eyes. And I love that you caught the characters so well.

In all, a brilliant job!
Naie Black chapter 1 . 6/10/2011
OMG this is so beautiful I almost cry, awesome job
Hope06 chapter 1 . 4/6/2011
absolutely amazing I loved this i loved how you drew connections to Harry and Sirius and Harry and Teddy!
spinningleaves chapter 1 . 2/27/2011
Wow. Seeing the comparisons between those two godfathers actually made me tear up. The beautiful image of that deep overwhelming love that any parent figure feels- coupled with the very deep reality for Sirius and the Potters that they actually could lose their son or each other any day. Great little details about the building of a bond between Andromeda and Harry. Fantastic overall!
EstelElanor chapter 1 . 10/4/2010

PrincessSkywalkerOrgana chapter 1 . 9/21/2010
