Is it THAT hard to believe that Sirius and Remus were friends? Really? I can understand completely that a lot of people don't see a romantic relationship. Totally fine. But is it really that hard to believe they were supposed to be as close as brothers?

Sigh.

If you want to know what I'm talking about, head over to Fiction Alley Park>MWPP>Can't Remus be Bi?

Really. Sirius CAN have more friends than James.

I need more icon space or something, I think. Must ponder. (Or figure out LJ a bit better.)

That's exactly what I like about R/S as well. It does fit. It's part of the reason I can't get my head around H/D. Wouldn't Harry/Ron work SO much better, if you really wanted to slash? (Not that I'm knocking people who ship H/D, especially as since most of them don't remotely care that it isn't even close to canon and have other reasons for playing with it.)

But yeah, Remus and Sirius were never friends goes up there with the theories that Ron would be a wife-beater, and evil Lupin. JKR does do the surprises, but they never require a lot of mental gymnastics. I mean- Sirius and Peter switched places and Peter was really the secret keeper. Moody was really Crouch in disguise. These surprises don't take a lot of explanation- a sentence really kind of sums it up. When people say she never does what's expected, or her hints are really subtle... no. Her hints vary to very well done to anvil sized, and she sometimes does the unexpected. That's what makes the unexpected hard to spot.

So bizarre.
