This fic is one of the best piece of literature I’ve ever read

It made me want to die. Not because it was bad but because it was so good I felt like a piece of me had been ripped out when Lilly and James died. I never cry to books but at 1am on the 22 of July 2023 you would find me snotty nosed and red faces sobbing to words on paper. Because I loved them so much and they were so real to me. Such flawed and amazing characters that take special talent to encapsulate in words. I feel so blessed to have read this but then again I wished I hadent because it feels like my heart it being ripped out of my chest.

These are such complex and real characters. They had real and valid feelings and for that reason I will read this book every single year until I die.

“Mary deserved better. Sirius Knew that. She was so vibrant, so bright - she was a sun, the centre of her own solar system. She deserved adoration, devotion, someone who could faithfully, gratefully orbit, who would fully appreciate her warmth and light. But Sisrius didn’t want the sun. At night, he dreamt of the moon.�

Have you ever read such moving writing? This fic, while is a wolfstar fit its so much more than that. We got James Potter and his amazing spirit and never ending optimism. We got Sirius and his raw emotions that I related to so much. Remus and how love is not always perfect but angry and demanding. And how two people who love each other so much can fall out of love. We saw Mary and her amazing spirit and wise words. Lily and her steady progression to falling for James (who wouldn’t cmon. I am a jily Stan through and through) Marlene and her compassion and how they all because the best of friends and they couldn’t even grow old together.

“Because how could he smile, in a world where James and Lily Potter no longer existed? How could he feel anything but sorrow?�

James and his parents where Sirius’s only family. Their house was the only place he felt loved, and that got taken away from him in the span of months? Euphemia Potter was the light and life and that got snuffed out and everything went downhill from there. My happiness slowly deteriorated as I kept reading because fuck that broke my heart and Sirius finding James and Lily? Sobbing.

"it was James who had an ego the size of a lake, but a heart to match it"

Lets just go back to the summer of 77� where everyone was happy Mary was laughing James and Lily talked and Remus said his truth (and Sirius was surprised bc its not gay if its with the homies 💀) I want to go back there, not now where everyone that Sirius cared about was slowly killed off one by one. Most, he didn’t even get to say goodbye to.

And Azkaban chapters? Killed my mental health Sirius slowly forgetting his friends smiles made me want to shrivel up and die. Then when he saw Harry as a replacement for James because he missed his best friend so much 💔

They all loved each other so much and of course they couldn’t live happy lives with James and Lilly and there many children and Uncle Moony and Uncle Padfoot with Harry growing up happy, loved and spoilt. But no, why be happy when you can kill peoples happiness?

I write this review with a heavy heart full of love for this book, these characters, and this place. I think I could write an essay on how amazing this book is but I will reserve that for my best friend. She will understand I love you Moony 💕Love, Padfoot

Read this book, you will regret it but its one of the most amazing piece of literature you simple cannot die without experiencing it
