A Wolf’s Heart

by mizdiz

Remus Lupin has a congenital heart defect and is awaiting an available heart for transplant. Sirius Black is an immature twenty-something, living with a couple of other immature twenty-somethings. Both are obsessed with the same obscure book, which becomes their coping mechanism for navigating their instant and torrid love affair. Life, they discover, is precarious at best, but from each other, they learn how to make it something worth living.

Dear the author of this book,

First of all, I would like the tiny scraps of my heart that you took and stepped on back, please.
Second of all, just why?
Third of all, fuck everything.
And finally, you are now under legal obligation to pay for my therapy.

Yours Faithfully,

A destroyed reader.

I really loved the characterization in the first chapters, but i think that as the fanfic progressed the relationships between the characters worsen. And the writting too. It had a lot of good quotes, but it lacks of conexion, i dont know how to explain it. I know where the writer was going, but i think they were unable to express it in a way that made sense, it feels empty, without a meaning. Just an empty story with nothing to tell.
I saw the ending coming not even in chapter 1 but in the summary , so i dont know how people said that hey cried their eyes out. It was obious. Not a bad thing to have a predictable ending, but this one in particular felt like it was supposed to make me feel sad, like the whole purpose of the fanfic was to cry at the ending. Merely shock value. I feel that an ending should have something more to it, like why make the characters go through all that and then end it that way? It doesnt make sense. Anyway, not bad written, entertaining, so a solid 3 stars.

this was cruel. i figured what would happen from the beginning but it was cruel. you know what else is cruel? the fact that sirius’ and remus’ book doesn’t exist. this was mean. i loved this book too much to finish it but i guess all good things must come to an end. right?

I was sobbing for months over this ff and i still am when i see something relatable. good job by that. But jokes asides. It’s so beautifully written and it SHATTERED me

slowly making my way through the marauders tiktok recs. This one is pretty good. Not as shattering as some people have said, but good. It's not AYTD, but i just tried debt of time and that was actually so terrible. Overall this one was a a good read. Well thought out plot. The character development was slightly on the simple side, but was enjoyable.

I read this in one night because I was so hooked and if I had a physical copy of this it would be so tear stained oh my god I cant describe the emotional torture but it’s super well written!!

i literally never write reviews for books because i’m too lazy especially for a fanfic but fuck. this was such a great and heartbreaking thing to read it showed me love in a different light i know how sappy that sounds but it’s kinda true it wasn’t epic love it was just love. i also don’t think people watching will ever be the same again

Heartbreaking. Utterly heartbreaking. As a person who romanticizes myself in bookstores (lmao), I’m a sucker for these tropes. A lot of people talk about how the ending is predictable but isn’t it more about the journey and not the destination?

[miranda · Rating 5 out of 5]

literally the saddest ending i’ve ever read

[Saihaj · Rating 1 out of 5]

It wasn’t that sad and I mean it was cute but not that cool.

[Zuzanna · Rating 4 out of 5]

okay, this book is great but do not, I repeat DO NOT underestimate the Major Character Death warning

[azul · Rating 5 out of 5]

i read this around a time where i needed it the most but it also caused pain man like idk it hurt a lot i was reading this a day before something terrible happened to me and i think this book will always stick with me because of that. I hate but love the ending because it sort of like the person i lost gave me a heart when i needed one not that i didnt have one but they gave me good things I couldn’t have learned with anything or anybody else.(lets just say i was not doing very well mentally)

I have read this I really enjoyed it even though it made me bawl but I’ve rated another version for this and so this rating is for another story actually two called forever and always rains by feeme_de_lettres and the scientific method by mcdynamite I enjoyed them both they were both pretty quick reads glad I read them they were cute together in both even if they were a little bit slow to figure out they both love each other at first

[Becky S · Rating 5 out of 5]

This fic made me cry so much I couldn't stop crying and couldn't sleep that night.

Sirius death was unexpected and just hit me so hard in the chest. I'm not necessarily a fan of unhappy ending, this fix and All The Young Dudes are probably my only two exceptions.

Love this fic so much but not one I can bring myself to reread like I have others.

read this first back in 2021 and it WRECKED me💔
this reread is just as devastating….

one small thing i want to mention is some dialogues feel very “proper” and don’t come off as natural, like the way they speak sometimes feels a bit too properly “written” if that makes sense… like essay style but not really oral speaking style yk? but apart from that it killed me yea😞

Wow for starters, I’m sobbing. I expected part of the ending but not in its entirety. Wow. Just wow. I’m emotionally attached to the characters so obviously I loved this. Ouch.
