Woohoo! *adds you to the Hell slash handbasket list* :D
Thank you very much. Gah, I love jealous characters, and once I started thinking of angsty incest, I couldn't resist making impetuous and lively James quietly and fiercely focused this way on his younger brother.
I'm so glad you mentioned that party moment -- that's a big part of holiday memories for me as well, those large gatherings, and the way everyone is involved with their own contributions. I just imagine with the Potter-Weasley clan, they have similar tasks and expectations of the kids and each other. And it's terrific to hear you liked the slower pace of this as well.
