Sirius finds himself inexplicably falling in love with Harry, even in the midst of the latter's romance with Ginny -- a romance he himself encouraged. He wants to tell the boy how he has come to feel, but is understandably apprehensive about doing so. Set in the summer after Harry's seventh year, shortly after Ginny's seventeenth birthday.

I have been a Potter fan from day one but just recently started writing fic for it. I presently have roughly thirty stories completed, at least four of them novel-length, and about eleven (yes, eleven) WIPs. I'm most into the canon pairings of Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione, but if a story is written well enough, I'll check out Harry/Draco, Draco/Hermione and even a threesome with Harry, Draco and Ginny.
Reviews for A Godfather's Love (aka The Other Side of the Coin)
“I’m sorry if this upsets you, Gin, but you’re just going to have to learn to deal with it. Sirius loves me too, just as much as you do—and I cannot deny him, any more than I could ever deny you.” This Harry is such a loser and an arsehole. Hermione is unbelievable. The only one who has half his sense is Ron, and even he's not doing what he does best, blurting out his thoughts on the whole thing. The whole story is an unbelievable premise. It seems like you want to ship Harry/Ginny diligently and are unable to let go of it long enough to try something of your own (a Sirius/Harry plot). This story would have done better if Harry would have gradually fallen in love with Sirius, with Ginny ending things, not just letting him get him off and agreeing to things because he feels he should since the poor sod "loves' him and if Gin doesn't like it, too bad. Hell, if Voldemort shows up claiming to love him, Harry seems like he'd bend over and tell him to go for it. And why not? Ginny wouldn't mind so long as she can still be in his life.Yikes.I won't read any more of this. I've peeked at the coming chapter titles and see that there's one called mutual pregnanices. That tells me all I need to know. Hopefully, I'll like your other stories better than this one. I just don't buy into the premise.
Oh, God, this is creepy. It gives the reader a feeling that the kids are just that... kids. I mean, they call them all there and ask if they can explain the birds and bees to them. Why would he tell Harry this in front of his friends like that? It's such a private thing. And then, poor Ginny gets no say in it. Harry's reaction is completely unbelievable, quickly wanting to know what would happen if he did want a relationship. Wants his cake and to eat it too, that one.Ginny in canon wouldn't let herself be used in such a way. She should put her foot down and say, "Me or nothing." Uh, the way Sirius coaxes him is really creepy. He reminds me of a molestor luring an unknowing child in. The only reason I'm going to read further is to see if Ginny tells Harry to sod off. I certainly hope his best friends, especially Hermione, give him the what for about this. He can't really love Ginny so much if he's insterested in a relationship with someone else.
Moony should tell Sirius to keep his thoughts to himself instead of ruining the kids' relationships with his randy fantasies. I know Harry's of age, but it's like he's being preyed on by a pedophile.
Sirius is a prat to want to ruin Harry and Ginny's happiness. I hope he keeps his mouth shut for a long time.
If Harry cast a Silencing Charm, how was it that Sirius could still hear him? And Sirius is pretty creepy here. I know it's not incest, but it's very close, isn't it? Goes from family feelings to salivating over the too-trusting kid.
so... have harry get ginny preg, then have sirius get harry preg. that way everybody's happy! Assuming they all want kids, that is.
more! please! pronto! Oh, I can't wait to see what happens next! You've got me all excited!
wow... i's kinda short but i love it! please contiinue!
Ohhh wow... forbidden, but somehow so hot... what happens next??
okay, seriously. can he just chose one of them? it's pissing me off.
again, it just seems so weird that everyone's so calm about it. if i was ron or ginny i would be so pissed off and seeking vengence.
i don't think it is very believeible that everyone is basiclly totally cool with sirius and harry's new relationship.
i feel like everyone is being too formal with each other. and i think there should have been more explanation for harry being willing to be with sirius. don't get me wrong, sirius/harry is my otp, but it seems like he agreed with no reason.
okay.that was a smoking hot chappie.i'll read more later. i'm off to bed. i like the story thus far. can't wait to read more!
chappie was kind of reduntent.
man, i wish my friends fingered me (i'm a girlie) and would act casual about it. that would have been sweet.hehehe. i wanted him to blow harry so bad. i thought he was, honestly. oh, you didn't need to put all of the backround story in there. we already know that stuff. it's kind of repeative.
Your portrayal of Harry and Ginny is really unbelievable. You picture him as a teenager that is completely in control of himself in a world where the adults around him just meekly accept what he has to say. Ginny's character is only mildly better. She never really develops as a character, only being allowed a relatively minor temper tantrum in reaction to Harry's trysts with Sirius.I have no problems with AU stories, slash, or really anything, but your portrayal of Harry as such a confident man whose very word is accepted as law by those around him is just beyond manipulative. Ron accepts this? Sorry, but the Ron we all know hasn't reached that emotional level to be able to accept that Harry has two lovers--and one is Ron's sister.Part of the reason that many of us love JKR's stories is that we can see the inner conflict faced by Harry as he grows up and develops into a young man. Your story doesn't allow for him to grow emotionally. He's already more adult than any adult character you write--and that's not logical even if you call your story AU.
