Glad you liked and thanks for the (as ever) insightful comments.
the fic read to me as a study in two sets of friendships: James and Remus', and Sirius and Peter's.
That's where I was trying to go. I thought you don't often see that split, unless I'm reading the wrong fanfics, and I'm quite taken with the idea of Peter tagging along after Sirius (leaving Sirius half amused, half irritated the whole time). Meanwhile, James and Remus are getting along in a way not a million miles from how Harry and Remus do years later. There seems a lot to say about their friendship to me.
Always imagined James as very posh.
Very public school boy to me so, yes, indeed - posh, and arrogant, and thoughtless, because he's always had everything without having to work for it or stop to appreciate others that do. (If you dated Remus, I once dated James;)) But the capacity's there to be so much more and, far be it from me to gripe about DH yet again, but I wish he and Lily could have had a moment that showed that. Ah well.
There's no getting away from Remus thinking he was the most wonderful of friends and I'm glad this left you wanting to hug him. As I think he got that book much later on and that Remus finally took it in the spirit in which it was meant. (And later on it played another role when he leant it to Tonks, but that's another fic for another day, lol.)
