All the Young Dudes is set during what fans call the Marauders era in the Harry Potter universe, the time when Harry’s parents attended Hogwarts, and stars the so-called Marauders themselves: Harry’s father, James, and his best friends Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew—all of whom appear in the novels. Marauders era fanfic is one of the more popular subgenres within the Harry Potter fandom, known for having several unique relationship pairings besides the canon-compliant ship of Harry’s parents. Perhaps most popular among these is the one known as Wolfstar, which is what fanfic readers and writers call the romantic relationship between Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. They’re best friends in the books, and much more than friends in All the Young Dudes. Over the course of 188 chapters, the fic charts the growing relationship between Remus and Sirius as well as the lives of James and Peter and Lily, following the gang from their very first year at Hogwarts to the end of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban—a nearly 25-year span of time.

A fanfic that most books are not at its level. Generational masterpiece that created a whole new fandom, thanks to its adult, dark twist on the original story, their rich, deep, complex characters (with exceptions), and magical atmosphere. It felt as if re reading the original story (this author won't be a hateful bigot, I hope). The worst is the mischaracterization of the characters the author does not like (Snape, pettigrew), but Lily, James, sirius are spot on. I loved the intricancies of the Black family and how Remus always persists. And the new characters!!!!! I loved the girls. Generational masterpiece as I said
