I always tried to steer clear of the Harry Potter 'shippers because some are either very creepy or vicious when it comes to their 'ships.

*Exactly* the same for the House fandom. So much asshattery goes on, so much wank, so much fighting over whose ship is the "right" ship. When in actuality, none of the ships on the show are actually canon, so people are actually fighting over fantasies.

That aside, though, you've written a great essay/post here about your thoughts on Remus/Sirius. I, too, love Remus/Sirius for pretty much all the reasons you've mentioned. Do I think it's actually canon? Well, who cares if it is or isn't? It's never explicitly stated either way, so it can be taken either way.

I'm with you in that I'm not generally a slasher, though I have the same kind of approach towards House/Wilson that you have with Remus/Sirius. Don't know if you watch House, but he was in a very serious relationship with a woman for five years. The relationship ended. The person who stuck by him was Wilson and Wilson said in canon that he picked up the pieces. So much can be read into that. I don't play House gay and I don't play him bi, but I'm definitely not opposed to the idea of House/Wilson because it makes a lot of sense on certain levels.

So... I don't know if my rambling equates to telling you my thoughts on Remus/Sirius but I hope it does! I've read through a number of Remus' entries and I like how you write him. He's my favourite character in the entire Harry Potter series.

I found my way here, btw, through justprompts. Just so you don't think, "Who is that person and why are they randomly commenting on my Remus lj?". Lol. :-)
