Finally at the end and it was a great read, as always :) Also a great distraction from a) revision and b) the DVD of OotP downstairs. I really want to watch it, but I really don't want to watch Sirius die.
I have to say, before I started reading puppyslash - including yours; I think Stealing Harry was one of the first RL/SB fics I read - I hated Sirius Black as a character. I was definitely more of a Snape girl. Now I just feel really sorry for him; that's part of the reason I like AUs so much.
In another comment someone remarks on the way you flesh out the wider wizarding world. It definitely makes your writing more interesting and alive. Reading canon it seemed to me that the wizarding world was impossibly small; Hogwarts, for example, is far too large for the number of students in it. One can either take the view that so many people were killed during the War that this was the result, or that JKR didn't have the space or the inclination to fill out the gaps. Sometimes canon is a little 2D: the only books seem to be academic or autobiographical; there's usually only one, or at most two, places to buy certain types of products. All of which is a rambling, possibly over-long way of saying I love your writing and look forward to reading the next instalment - I've been reading MidnightBlue's Mirror of Maybe for what must be six years now, so you'd have wait a while to catch up with that :D Take your time; it'll be worth it.
