this took me soooo long omg.
few thoughts:
what bothered me right at the start is the emotional intelligence when they‘re 13?!
like „checking in“ with others and acting really mature is not something i expect from 12 year olds - not even from james haha
sadly enough it after the hogwarts part everything got reaaallly repetitive, sirius and remus bickering over something, making up and starting all over again - and i know why it was there and fit in there-
and don‘t get me wrong: i loved the deeper characterization of everyone and LONG fanfics (looking right at you, tcoptp) but i was just getting bored so bad.
then again the last part including the death of effie & fleamont and the spy took me out, this is not for the weak.
bittersweet canon ending though, without sirius and remus dying.
BUT there were so many funny and well written passages!! so here are my awards:
the most heartbreaking line of all this was:
„I should have been here too. I just- I just always believed it wasn‘t really the end.“ - james
most funny and random lines:
„I thought this was a sorting, not a therapy session“
„he didn‘t think he was the type of person to get sent lasagnes, but apparently he was“
„the long tangent about how i always make sure he had ten fingers and ten toes.“
the most (horny) hozier coded line of this was definitely:
„he tasted like salvation“
if you‘re searching for another LONG canon compliant wolfstar slowburn fic, maybe this is the right fit.
