*sniff*Remus, you should have told her!! But this was lovely, even If Remus is being his typical self.Thanks for sharing! xx

Oh this is heartbreaking!  You've captured so much in so few words, and I love it when authors manage that.  I'd offer the suggestion that Snape and Hermione get together to figure out a cure for what ails him, but if that happened they'd probably fall for one another and that would be salt in the wounds.  Unless Remus also missed a certain Potions master ... :)

That was surprisingly sad! It's not often that I get to read RL/HG, so it's nice to find something as sweet as this, for all its brevity.

I find it hard to ship HG/RL.  Maybe because he makes such a good teacher/friend to the trio.Having said that, that was such a spot on portrayal of Remus (regardless of who he was with).  It fit him to a tee.  Great job and thanks for sharing.

Oh, so wonderful and heartbreaking. Poor Remus. I just wish he would embrace the world and realize there are people out there who accept him, warts and all. Very well played all around. I'd love to see a longer sequel to this.

Oh, poor Remus.  You captured how he feels about himself perfectly.  And the list of objects he missed amused me. 

Of all sad words of toung and pen, the saddest are these, It might have been.

Aww poor Remus. I think it would be interesting to pick this thread up and have something happen to have him reconsider

I love the prompt and the usage of the prompt! There is so much yearning on both sides, and Remus' denying himself for that which he yearns for, influenced by his constant companion, the Moon, and his curse, which always colours his perception of himself and others--and the play with the chopsticks and usage of them, or lack of, with Hermione accenting the subtle rejection by giving up and picking up the fork, Remus' forced smile *so sad* (I love your RL/SS and I'm yearning for more of your RL/HG as well!)-- lovely, lovely work, as always!
