Regulus Black was fifteen the first time his name was called at a reaping. He's twenty-five when it happens to him again. A lot has changed in that time, and one of them is that he's ready to do whatever it takes to make it home. Nothing or no one will stop him, not even James Potter. James Potter has no plans to stop Regulus Black from making it home. In fact, his plans revolve around the opposite. He has his reasons, but he's made his choice to get Regulus out of the arena, even knowing it'll be the last thing he ever does. Sirius Black was sixteen when he volunteered to take his little brother's place in the arena. At twenty-six, without the option to do it again, he has no choice but to be a mentor to his brother and best friend, knowing that only one of them can make it back out. Two names called, a mentor on the verge of falling apart, and more secrets and grief between all of them than they know how to handle. None of them are prepared for what comes next, or how far they'll go to make it through.
Okay so I had this printed out because Im basically a grandma when it comes to my physical help and I legit almost had to get glasses because I read too much on my phone backthen,so hence why I have it multipled because ITS SO FUCKING LONG ITS FILLED INTO 4 HUGE ASS BOOKS and I aint gonna take this as one okay? Now to the book itself. I FUCKING LOVED IT that is very illiterate to say about literature I realize but it’s just no-words-for-it-amazing like wow truly. The story,the characters,the writing. It’s immaculate and this should really really be a published book because wow zeppazariel could actually make it as a very successful author
This will forever be one of my favourite Marauders fics! Crimson Rivers was one of the first marauders fics that I read (I read ATYD first) and oh my gods, I LOVED this fic. I haven’t recovered because it is actually so heartbreaking. I 100% recommend reading Crimson Rivers, it’s great (be prepared to cry.)
