It was lovely to share all these sense perceptions with your Sirius. I particularly admire your tackling the issue of getting used to life again. Azkaban must have affected in a somewhat complex way what human touch meant to Sirius. (My version is different, because I’ve extrapolated young Sirius’s character differently as well: my Sirius was never used to physical demonstrations of affection. In any case) I find this kind of stories interesting, while in a lot of humorous OotP-period stories Sirius does not seem to be properly damaged. It was a pleasure to see your Remus, too, old and tired – as well as alive with deligt!
