Jemennuie chapter 1 . 1/10/2012
Very interesting. Remus's visit was heart-breaking yet realistic-seeming but I liked how he gave Sirius a blanket because it suggests some amount of decency and/or forgiveness on Remus's part. I also like the description of the blanket at the end of the story.

You have an absolute gift for writing and storytelling. Never stop! You've done so much with so little. This story was so heart wrenching. I just wanted to scream at Remus that Sirius was innocent. Wonderful tension, characterization, and language. Well done!

Heartwrenching and beautiful and very well written. Taking the dementor effect seriously and making it feel chillingly real. You made my heart bleed for both Remus and Sirius - the way you wrote Remus' visit was a great way to show how they are both Peter's (and Voldemort's) victims, on both sides of the bars. Despite his harsh words, Remus still brings a blanket, what great characterisation, of both the man and the friendship he thinks he has lost...

That was... beautiful and sad and beautiful and sad and... I wanna hug Sirius soo much right now. I love the way you've managed to convey Sirius's emotions and loneliness and everything connected to Azkaban, really. The blanket was an excellent way of contrasting the outside to the inside of Azkaban also I loved how you not only focused on the feel of it but also the smell 'fabric softener' and 'detergent' great sensory description. All in all. Just brilliant.

This was beautiful. Sad, but beautiful. You did a wonderful job showing the characters emotions and painted very vivid images.

Very well done. I really enjoyed this!

Simply glorious.

This story is really good. I had almost given up on finding somthing I had not read before in the Harry Potter fandom and then I found this nice little fic :)

The way you write it really shows the atmosphere of Azkaban. Everything is so hopeless and... well it is exactly how i would imangined Sirius would have felt after going to Azkaban. Your style of wrtiting is great.

I am not a native speaker of english so I can't point out exactly what it is I think is so good, but what I can say is that your way of writing is really good at geting the reader to feel what the character feel. It's also very effective in getting images in the reader head.

There is also a very nice pace in the writing that sets the gloomy atmosphere of Azkaban.

This is just a splendid fic :)

Wow, intesne! This was so well written, the emotion and feeling behind it all is amazing. This has got to be one of the hardest times to write about in Sirius' past, and you have captured it perfectly. It's so deep and raw and sad.

Just stunning!
