Letting this be a short fic was definitely a good thing!
So many rich and complex currents here. I like the way they're both working hard to keep it casual, but there's a sense of danger lurking, an unspoken fear that they might start to care for each other if they don't watch out.
My very favorite parts are the fact that it was seeing Sirius all undone from his worry for Remus (even though she doesn't know what's going on) that breaks the barrier and makes Lily want him, and the fact that Sirius didn't run off right away, but lay and held her afterward, even though they both knew it was once only.
