Oh dear me! I'm hooked in spite of myself! I love the way Remus continues to be loving even as he smacks Bill down. I do hope there's more coming.
Author's Response: I'm not sure I'd call Remus "loving," maybe more... well, I'm not sure what I call him - lol! Glad you're enjoying and thanks for reviewing. The next chapter is in the works. (love your moniker)

Wow, I am really into this story! *adds to favourites* I love the complexity you've added. You haven't changed Bill and Remus from being heterosexual men with solid relationships, you've just shown the other side: the wolf. I love how in control of himself Remus is and that he's showing Bill how to cope. Bill's introspections are amazing! He's really starting to see himself as a wolf and struggling to keep that separate from the man. Remus would be the best one to teach him that!
Author's Response: You haven't changed Bill and Remus from being heterosexual men with solid relationships, you've just shown the other side: the wolf. That's exactly it! Bill's coming up on his first full moon with no idea of what's happening to him or how to cope - or, perhaps most importantly, how to keep it in perspective with the rest of his life. Thanks for reviewing - glad you're enjoying!

Um. Wow. My main problem with slash is that most of it is so unbelievable that it's just laughable. Well... I'm not laughing. That was incredible.
Author's Response: You haven't been reading the right slash, then. There is a great deal of good, "believable" (?), and well-written slash out there. ~Lee

This is such a wonderful piece of work! The battle between the two men is so very believeable. I really love the slow pace and especially the close look we get into Bill's thoughts, as he remembers excerpts from his moments with Remus. This is one of the things that makes this story so pleasant to read and so enticing. Plus the incredible originality of its plot and the very "masculine" feel we never lose at any time. Two thumbs up! And I'm looking forward to see where it will lead you!
Author's Response: Thank you for such kind words. Poor Bill is worried about so many things on so many levels - not the least of which is this strange behavior from someone he thought of as a friend. He has a lot to learn in a short period of time. -smoke

Great, as always :) I love the very end, and the way you've described his emotional turmoil and the newly discovered desire for blood is very powerful.

Yes, I'm sorry. It's "hypocrite" and "Fleur". I apologise for making your read misspellings.
** btw- you had mentioned below that you believe I might not want to read... I do actually. I didn't want to come across as someone griping about it. I was just sharing what your story gave to me. I don't require all fluff, and I appreciate a crafted story more than being picky over content. I hope I don't distress you if I take the story a different way than you intended. I NEVER ever write a review if there isn't something about a story that I can appreciate, and I think that it's important to sample different aspects the human condition, whether I share them or not. So please take what I give you as encouragement. I only wish I had the gift to write stories and put them out there. You are lucky.
Author's Response: Thank you. We certainly encourage debate and different interpretations from what we intend! We are glad you're enjoying the story so far. :) ~Lee

Well, I suppose Bill is a bit of a hypocrit for wanting to rape Lupin back. I still feel sorry for his human side not wanting that situation. But Remus.... he gets the gold medal of hypocrits. Has he never heard that (and I quote) "A lie of omission is still a lie"? He's going to get himself into big trouble, unless he's just such a good liar from long experience. I am pleased that Bill made him wait for a response, though. Since Bill isn't a full werewolf, does he have less of a reaction? He must feel pretty bad about wanting Lupin after being raped. Even though he might have a wolfish instincts about things, there is no one around but Remus to explain anything to him, and he is just playing a game with him. Bill probably will need some help in understanding and accepting things about himself. Will he lose Fluer over this? Will he have to give her up in order not to decieve her? And if she gets wind of this, with her veela temper, I can see Tonks being on the losing end as well. Lots to think on with this one. I might be overanalyzing it, I know. But I'm enjoying trying to figure things out.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review - I'm glad the story is inspiring so much contemplation! Lupin attempts to explain in chapter 3 that with werewolf instincts at play, the word 'rape' isn't quite accurate for what happened. We are attempting to poke at the very fine lines between human and animal for these two - nothing that happens in this story can really be judged bases on human morals. You will have to stay tuned to see what happens! ~Lee

Oh, I want to be the first one to review this chapter! *types fast* I love the interactions and explanations with Tonks in this one, and the werewolf rivalry is just getting hotter and hotter!
Author's Response: Thanks! We definitely do not want to toss Tonks (and Fleur) aside too easily here; the werewolf relationship is much more complicated than that. Stay tuned... :)

Wow, don't get mad, but I'm pissed at Remus. I know this is a pwp, but will there be any human consequences to the alley thing? (not wolf- I got the difference) I think I'm supposed to be rooting for a Remus/Bill pairing, but I guess I'm too much of a softy to not want Bill to just beat the shit out of him. :D (that doesn't go well with being a softy, does it?!) Well, you got my emotions stirred up, that's a good thing for an author/s.
Author's Response: I always wibble over non-con or dubious-con sex, and honestly do not write it very often. If Bill were a woman I would be screaming bloody murder at the author who wrote this and called it entertainment, so I certainly understand if it's not something you care to read. We do intend it as PWP, based on animalistic instincts rather than human behaviour, and Bill certainly isn't going to take this lying down... so to speak. But as for consequences, you will have to stick with us for a few more chapters! Thanks for your thoughts. ~Lee

I too am not into slash but this story really got to me like a punch in the gut. Really intense. Their relationship reminded me of Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain which I also unexpectedly liked. The extension of Remus/Bill's werewolf status was spot-on - totally made sense. Great inner angst, great writing.
Author's Response: Thank you for the kind review, and the flattering comparison! I'm glad you enjoyed it, especially as it itsn't your usual thing. ~smoke

Slash isn't my thing, and I usually don't like anything that hints at non-con, but I've sampled/read over half of the stories on the site, and this is my favorite so far. I think it's the way you put it into the context of being a werewolf--and, of course, great writing. I also liked that you didn't minimize their relationships with their women. I don't even care for Lupin much, thought of him as passive actually, and never thought twice about Bill, or what the implications of being bit by Fenrir might be, nor of how that gave him something in common with Lupin, but you made this pair absolutely fascinating to me.
Author's Response: It is quite a compliment that our story has caught and kept your interest when it is not a type you generally read. I’m glad you found something to hold your interest, and that provides you with new things to think about. And thank you so much for saying so. -smoke

The family dinner was well done. It's hard to write that many characters that well. I'm still hoping that Bill figures things out and challenges Remus. And I still love tough werewolf Remus.

Payback's a bitch, isn't it? I'm really glad you're addressing Bill's and Remus' relationships with their women; I think that's an important pice of the emotional struggle that too many writers ignore.
Strider
Author's Response: Thanks! Yes, their relationships with the women aren't going to evaporate just because there's another wolf in town. For the most part, their lives will go on much the same. For the most part....

This was really intense. I love aggressive-wolf-Remus-- I mean, the guy can't be civilized ALL the time! And with Bill, you hit just the right balance of confusion and anger. The sex was intense, but also multi-layered. It was hot, but it was about a lot more than just sex. Well done.

Let me start by saying, I loved this story. I've never reviewed at this site before, but this story got to me. I started reading it a bit before midnight figuring that a werewolf story wouldn't hold my interest and keep me up. Well, now nearly 2 hours later, my eyes are shot, but I feel that it was time well spent. That was a truly well-written story. And now, for my poorly written review...
Here's what I truly liked:
- It was hot!
- The shifting POV which gave insight into both Bill's and Remus' thoughts on the situation.
- Fred & George being their typical goofy selves while being great brothers and supporting Bill. (Sorry, but I just love F&G.)
- Even though I'm not a big Fleur-fan, you gave her character some weight and purpose. I like how she didn't forgive Bill right away, but still stood by him.
- I don't know how you did it, but you stayed true to canon.
- Though JKR has never given us enough info on either Bill or Remus, you did a great job expanding both of them into believable characters.
- The locking charm that made everyone forget there was a kitchen made me laugh. Also, the dinner conversation when the twins wanted their assistant to work longer hours in shorter skirts. Ha-ha-ha!
Overall, I was just damn impressed by the level of writing and the development of the characters. I am so glad that I found this story tonight for the first time, because it would have driven me crazy to wait for each chapter.
Anyway, thanks for the great story. It was definately better than going to sleep at a resonable hour. (Speaking of, damn daylight savings time just made the clock jump from 2 AM to 3 AM, so now I really have to stop playing on the internet.) Keep up the great writing!
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the lovely review! While I'm sorry you missed your rest - made worse by daylight savings! - I'm glad you found the story worth your while. It was fun for us to write - we both love the twins, btw - and we didn't want to make the girls just accessories, so I'm relieved that came across well. We both have other stories on other archives that you might enjoy as well. :-)
