Sirius! Oh Sirius. My feelings for him are complicated! See, he was my favorite character, and when he died I absolutely SOBBED my eyes out. Then after a while, when I had been slashing Sirius/Remus for a while, it suddenly occurred to me... *why* did I fall in love with Sirius? So I re-read the then-last-three books (PoA thru OotP) and paid super close attention to Sirius, as well as the slashy puppy love. And basically I realized that... Sirius is a rather messed up guy. I mean, I totally understand why, what with being in Azkaban for so long, but still. He's got flaws out the wazoo. And I *still* love him! He just has this innate charisma that I absolutely adore. But I prefer myself a nice, untraumatized Sirius, which is why I read almost exclusively Marauder-era fic! Umm. In conclusion, I love Sirius, unconditionally.
