Beneath a Big Blue Sky

by eyra

The four-by-four heaves its way down long, twisting lanes, little more than dirt tracks scuffed into the surrounding fields and hemmed in by serpentine walls of flat, grey stone. They truly are in the middle of nowhere: the countryside rushes past, all rolling green hills and vast, endless skies, and it's odious. Sirius wants to murder James with his bare hands. (this is a Wolfstar fanfic on AO3, 10 chapters, 68,297 words)

It’s so cute and fun, sorta weird but like it makes me want to move in a big farm and have animals and lake and a southern accent.

Aaaaa this was sooo good. It just manages to submerge you in the world of the green hills and English farms and lambs being born. Idk how it does it but it just makes me long to go back to England and stay in a cottage and find love and spend all summer in the hills riding horses and caring for sheep. I should've read this last summer while I was there, it would've felt so different. This is one of those stories that you'll be thinking about even when you're not reading it. It was like the perfect length as well. I love the characterisation and the animals and the way that this story literally only has like 6 characters. I love the way this book made me feel at some times and how I was smiling all through the last chapter, I just couldn't help it.

"Maybe he was right... when he said you can meet the perfect person in the most unexpected place."

Such a beautiful read.😭 It was so funny how, by a literal accident, they both ended up on the farm, and Sirius's internal monologue of "I'm going to kill James" — but he ends up never wanting to leave. The story itself was so wholesome and full of love; I could practically feel like I was there with them, with the sheep and Hope's delicious food. So cozy, so beautiful.

"Sirius thinks dazedly now that this is where he could stay forever. Warm and safe, with Remus held tightly in his arms.

This feels like home."

Sirius's characterization was everything to me — so soft, so precious, so kind. GOD, I loved him. I absolutely fell in love with Snuffles, my sweet, sweet baby, and the way Sirius saw himself reflected in him: the black sheep of the family, how his mother didn't want him, but that wasn’t the baby’s fault. 😭 Sobbing. Sirius said Remus would be an amazing father one day, but I'm sure he would be too. Now I need a continuation with them having children.

Cecil and Snuffles were so freaking cute, and now they're my standard for love — I'm not even joking, lol. The whole portrayal of coming out and being afraid of who you are was so on point and so beautifully written. I absolutely loved it. This whole story felt like a hug to the soul.

"The sun sets the yard ablaze every evening. It's different now, and Sirius knows this must be a rare and precious thing because he just can't imagine ever feeling like this with anyone else, with anyone but Remus. He can't imagine anyone after Remus."

how cute was this. the sheep farm vibe thing was so sooo different from what I normally read, but i loved how wolfstar was portrayed in it. also, i loveeeee sirius pov

favorite quotes: thanks to this wonderful author

- “Nothing else, he decides then and there, as Remus kisses him back, has ever even come close. It’s incredible; a rushing, overwhelming force, bringing him to life, sending a supercharge to his heart…”

- “Maybe he was right…When he said you can meet the perfect person in the most unexpected place.”

- “Sirius thinks dazedly now that this is where he could stay forever. Warm and safe, with Remus held tightly in his arms.
This feels like home.”

- “It’s different, now, and Sirius knows this must be a rare and precious thing because he just can’t imagine ever feeling like this with anyone else; with anyone but Remus.”

Truly, truly remarkable.

Never would have thought a work about sirius falling for remus the sheep farmer would make it into my top five favourite fanfictions of all time, but here we are.

‘perhaps Remus is really here, now, kissing him as if he were drowning and Sirius were salvation itself.’

I am truly awestruck at the brilliance of this authors writing. Each chapter was incredibly well structured and fluid in its plot. There was not a moment that the story didn’t fully enthral me.

Also, I now know far more about lambing season than I ever thought I would.

Read this, now.

[Alana Sanchez]

I rate this a 4 maybe 4.25 stars I really enjoyed the story and the build up I liked the characters in it as well minus like 3 of them but we weren’t meant to like those people anyways the story was a cute fast and fun read I really enjoyed the writing as well at some bits i wish we got a little bit more though but I still loved the story

[moreeelez]

Recién estoy por el capítulo 5 pero es MUY BUENO, muy divertido y me encanta la forma que es James con Lily, y lo mucho que me hace acordar a Nany Macphee (creo que así se escribe, pero es mi infancia.) En fin, es ideal para pasar el rato

[Carrie]

Crying and throwing up I’m so in love with every aspect of this book and will now only be dating farmers or posh southern softies☺️

[Gabi]

Something about warm, fluffy wolfstar just being sheep farmers together is so wonderful.

[Fercha]

Ya wey déjenme enamorarme

[Kiwi]

Really cute. Lyall and hope are perfect. Lily badass as always. The whole farmer AU was perfectly done and absolutly sweet.

[Miranda Vivarais]

City boy meets country boy. Fluffy, fluffy love.

"If they find my body tell them, Lyall Lupin did it" 🤣

[Harriet Shields]

I needed something happy after Art Heist, Baby. This healed something in me

[Robin]

Please, let a life like this find me some day

[notonlyselfies]

This was such a beautiful story to read, a real comfort for a sore heart.

A story you wish they could make a movie about it!

Just imagine the photography and the scenarios in this movie…
