rynnePublic, as I want opinions, and not just from people on my flist.
So. I was just rereading a few fics, namely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thistlerose's Midnight Conversation #6, copperbadge's Alive, lupercali's Seven Things That Didn't Happen At Hogwarts On Valentine's Day, Or Maybe They Did and a myriad of other fics, and I was thinking, and I noticed something that they all have in common.
They all have Sirius more in love with Remus than Remus is with Sirius.
Like in "Alive", Sam writes, "Remus had never felt so entirely tied up in a single person, the way Sirius had been. He had loved Sirius, of course he had loved Sirius, but his happiness and his life had not been dependent on Sirius loving him."
MC#6 is pretty much about how Sirius loves Remus more than Remus loves him (at that time).
Seventh year of "Seven Things..." also seems to be pretty much that, as is Pru's Levityverse.
I've also gotten that same impression from a few ofmusesfool's fics.
Four of the most highly-respected authors (at least according to me) in the R/S subfandom have the same sort of theme on how the R/S relationship works. And, I was just wondering why. Is it because Sirius is passionate and Remus is controlled? Something along those lines?
All opinions are very much appreciated. Especially if they turn into debates :).

Date: 2004-04-24 07:37 pm (UTC)I don't think so either. *ducks* I do think that it was more difficult for him to leave than you were saying initially, but all of your points are very good ones. I agree that the Gryffindor point is one of the most important ones-- Sirius certainly has proven himself to be brave, and I think that he didn't just blossom into it at Hogwarts-- in my opinion, he was brave before he got there, even if he didn't realize it (like Neville.) And you have an excellent point with respect to the motorbike-- I hadn't even thought of it.
And I found this post via my friends of friends list, I think. If not, it would have been through the Marauders Slash community. Either way, I have heard of you before, even if I don't follow your fandom involvement (or real life!) at all.
