I'm SO guilty of not commenting on this awesome fic for ages and ages. Seeing your 'return from holiday' post reminded me that I had to get my butt in gear and get over here! (Oh and I'm so glad you had a lovely holiday! Pictures? haha).
This fic is AWESOME. I think what I love best is that you keep things light-hearted (the cardigan part in particular made me snicker) but at the same time, there's so much going on between the four of them that can't be ignored. Remus is wonderfully characterized (as always) - I really felt his frustration and annoyance and just general irritation. And good friends (although so hard to come by) can always make things seem a little bit less worse.
Oh and the END. There's really not enough I could say about it! Before Sirius in his very Sirius-esque manner goes and has the last word ;) which I just loved. I think I'm so behind in commenting on this that all the wonderful things I want to say have already been done! You've got such a wonderful handle on a teenaged Sirius and I really liked the interactions between James and Remus too. The description we get of Tonks at the end is gorgeous and I was so pleased to see a look at her and Remus in there at the end. And of course, Sirius is my favourite and I love how he's so very complex here...it really does add to your already-great fic.
