“During the week of his father's funeral, Sirius Black meets an unusual priest and offers to help write Orion Black's eulogy. At the same time, he's started texting a mysterious bass player from a pop-punk band that he accidentally swapped phones with. Eventually, the conversations between the two start to blur together and Sirius has trouble trying to decide which one he's falling for the hardest.”
this was so cute!! the wolfstar was amazing and and it was so sweet especially when james and lily adopted harry. remus being a menace the whole time tho had me dead 😭😭
5 stars… lol I just actually read this one and it was good. I felt the smut scenes and the singing scenes went a little longer than necessary and I found myself skipping some but I really love the conflict and angst in this and I was even questioning if Moony was Remus at times lol. Really well done.
4 stars… (actually read Save Me, Save Me, Save Me by the same author but I’m too lazy to make a new book for the fic)
Why did I take so long to read this??? THIS IS AMAZING. My god this was so so so good. There’s no way this review is going to make sense, because I’m just mesmerized by this. The romance was so cute, they had so much chemistry, the tension 🥵I’ll never be able to step foot into a church again after this. The way the author handled heavy topics without making the story itself heavy and still being mindful of those subjects ✨perfection✨ I don’t even know what to say, I’m 100% incoherent because I’m so in love with this story, with them… I just finished reading it and I already want to re read. 10/10 would recommend. Please read this fic. It’s one of the best I’ve ever read.
“I don't care about what the church will say. I want this. I want you. I'm choosing you."
it just didn't deliver what I wanted–not enough religious crisis. I wanted a priest who cried and begged for forgiveness but I guess maybe that's just me.
to be honest the start wasn't bad, I did at some point enjoyed it. but it got tedious and just bored me, the last 30%?? I fought with my life to not dnf it.
love the side scenes of jily–they are my beloveds.
also, this is just a personal opinion and I generally wouldn't comment it in fics BUT since I'm still enraged and annoying by this fic I'll say it: I fucking hate peter pettigrew there's not a fic on earth that would make me like him, not even if it's an au (stop trying to make peter a likeable character ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN FOR ME!)
anyway glad it's over, it took me two and a half months to read it, that should say how much I didn't enjoy it.
Favorite parts: - Remus literally everytime he would kneel on the stage or jump off it towards sirius to kiss or touch him - Remus cooking him breakfast HAHAH - The sexual tension through the texts was alwayssss the best part - Sirius accidentally calling Remus moony and when Re smiled was ADORABLE - Sirius doing communion OMGGG ill never get over that - Remus giving that speech saying “With exultant lips, my mouth shall praise you.” IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH - WHEN REMUS TOOK HIS MASK OFF _________________________________________________
Favorite Quotes:
“BLESS ME, FATHER” JAKSKSKSIWKD literally anytime this phrase was used i screamed
“But there was one thing he knew, the only faith in his life without the doubt beside, and that was the certainty in recognizing Remus Lupin’s touch” 😭
“He wanted Remus to see him as the one who could carry all his secrets for him, he wanted Remus to see him as separate from the rest of the world.”
“I know she’ll never say it, so I’ll say it in her place,” Remus whispered into the dark, limitless curls of Sirius’ hair. “I’m proud of you, Sirius.”
“It’s in everything he does. It’s in the way he speaks and in the way he listens and in the way he looks at you. He has more of a right to doubt than anyone, but he somehow maintains this unbreakable faith that makes me want to believe in shit I’ve hated for most of my life. Mostly myself.”
