I simply had to read through and comment on a fic with a quote from one of the mature (grown-up) Paul Simon songs, which must be rare treats in the fandom. In fact, I didn’t read the disclaimer and I was surprised to see the familiar verses after the first episode of the story. “Quiet” has always made me think of Remus – but as an old man, after he’s faced a lot of challenges beyond his personal losses. Your Remus, indeed, seems to get old too quickly during the story. From the beginning your Remus is a lot quieter than I’ve imagined him. He quietly just receives what happens to him.
I enjoy diverse well-written extrapolations of Lupin. As far as I can say after reading this piece through once, you do write well. There is nothing too jarring, as I noticed the slight repetition of using (adverbs in) tags only when glancing at the beginning again.
