oh man this is a masterpiece, they should include it in the mandatory books list in school.
no but fr, I didn't thought I would enjoy this as much as I did, I didn't expect to feel.. to feel so strongly as I did. I feel in love with the Marauders era once again, and the fact that this story follows the Canon is destroying me.
regulus needs a rest and a strong hug, he made me cry and my chest hurts whenever I had to read his povs. my boy.
once again I proclaim my undying love for james potter, I love you, brave and stupid boy.
I love every detail in this story, and the fact that we have other povs really add to the story, ties everything together.
words are not enough to properly express everything that's on my mind, just–holy shit.

gosh, i am speechless. This was soo good, like even good seems like not enough of a word to describe my love for this. Did i read this knowing it would break my heart? yes, and did it break my heart? yes, it did, and i still don't regret reading it. I will read this over and over, knowing it will break my heart just to get the joy of loving these characters, and in the end the joy i get of knowing and loving them is worth the heartbreak

I hadn't ever thought about James and Regulus being a couple. So when I started seeing stuff about them I was intrigued. I've always shipped Sirius and Remus so I thought I'd give them a try and I don't know how I feel about it yet.
I like the drama and stuff that goes along with them being together (gotta love some angst) but in this they happened wayyy to early on. This fic is about 624k words. They should not have gotten together at chapter 4 or 5. And on top of that, they were already saying 'I love you' at chapter 14, I think. It made no sense to me how they just started hanging out, considering both of their feelings about certain things. I just didn't feel nothing and I've found myself more invested in other people, like Sirius and Remus. I don't know if that's because I just love Sirius and Remus together already or because this is kinda slow and things happened to fast but either way I should definitely be feeling something for them, which I'm not much currently.
And I hate how long the chapters are. I'm a short chapter kinda girl and this is killing me. Like these are sometimes 60+ pages and they are all normally around 45-55 pages.
They are cute though and I can definitely see myself liking them.
"He makes it feel like the sun rises in my chest."
Like that's adorable and there's alot of other cute stuff to.
This was broken up into 3 parts so this is only about chapters 1-19, so I do hope this picks up in the next volume of chapters.

so I've come to the conclusion that nothing will ever beat atyd, but I understand why everyone loves this so much. I love how detailed Regulus' character is, but he really does break my heart. He is the most morally grey character I've ever read about. On a side note though, the parts of this that are written in French genuinely pain me. Not because they're sad (although they mostly are), but because the grammar is atrocious.

“For a boy who walks around like he’s made of stone Regulus touches like the sun.”
I feel like throwing up. That’s the only way to summarise this book truly. I’ve being emotionally preparing to read this for 18 months. I thought it was time… but I still don’t think I’m ready.
James & Reg’s relationship is different than I expected, softer I guess - which obviously makes it harder. I’m so utterly obsessed with them. Also Sirius in this… Jesus. It’s all too canon compliant which is worse cuz this is literally what happened imo.

типу ну спочатку ти така хіхіхаха персонаж не іронічно у такому тупіку що йому краще померти хоч я і дуже люблю його бо виходу нема
а потім ти плачеш настіки сильно що болить щелепи болить голова ти блюєш через дурний фанфік і думаєш ну здається на цьому ми закінчуємо отакі от думки в мене

I need to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask myself why the fuck I thought that rereading this would be a good idea. It was quite possibly the worst idea I’ve ever had

Rating: 4.15/5
Spice: 2/5
Angst: 6/5
Backstories: 5/5
Plot: 3.75/5
Characters: 5/5
________________________________________________
Struggles:
First of all, it took me AGES to finish this book. It never takes me that long, but I struggled getting into the story.
Coming from ATYD, I thought it was kind of fast paced between James and Regulus considering they technically didn’t like each other. And also the first 100 pages of the books were quite boring, not to mention the horribly long chapters…
________________________________________________
The good parts:
Anything else!!!
I love the characters and how they were presented in this book and how I got to know more about Regulus Black, probably the most morally grey character of my year, and the angst between all the characters was just perfect.
I also loved the part with the Greek mythology and how it was involved with Regulus’ character. It gave him something special.
There were so many disturbing and heartbreaking parts that I felt deeply sorry for the characters in the book, and even though this book wasn’t about Remus and Sirius in particular, their moments were (like always) full of angst, love and real feelings, may they be good or bad.
James and Regulus were so cute! I love the fact that with James, Regulus was happy and felt loved, even though he still didn’t really believe it.
He deserves all the love he gets from James and James deserves all the love from Regulus.
Also, the ending??? It was great, like real fear and resignation with Regulus. I inwardly screamed at him, although I knew that he’d say yes.
________________________________________________
The next two books will destroy me, just like ATYD did, and I do not care because I love the Marauders.

It’s criminal to end like this, anyway I’m going to read the second one like right now. The pain is worth it, some quotes are iconic
“The first time you kissed me, I thought—he touches like the sun,” James laughs helplessly. “You think I’m bright Reg? You—you, when you let yourself, shine so fucking bright.”

I'm not ready for the next part.
Favorite quotes <3
“Sometimes James, you shine so fucking bright I feel like I’m going to burn up.”
“Regulus was eleven the first time he fell in love with James Potter.”
“Parce que je t’aime. Je pense que je le ferai toujours.”
“I love you Regulus.”
“Sometimes, I think I was born with blood on my hands.”
“He sees the good in everyone, even when there isn’t any.”
“You’re my person. You’re mine.”
“Je t’aime, je t’aime, je t’aime, je t’aime.”
