Apologies for being so slow to reply to this - I can only plead Meta fic-writing madness. Or just my madness. ;)
Anyway thank you SO much for such great comments. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it and got so much out of it. It was supposed to be a very light-hearted fic, but it got a bit deeper than I intended and then, of course, I couldn't resist doing a bit of R/T right at the end. The friendship between the Marauders is so fascinating and I liked writing the James and Remus side of things, having done so much Remus and Sirius friendship over the course of various fics.
I think I just fell in love with the idea of the ultra-cool Marauders guiltily skipping off every Friday to read a problem page in a girly magazine, complete with tea and cakes. Somehow it seemed very Sirius-like that he would be the instigator of it all, while totally insensitive to what was going on with Peter, yet very aware, in his tactless way, of exactly how to help Remus. And he's got to have been pleased for Remus and Tonks, hasn't he? ;)
