LIFE-CHANGING. i cannot believe i read their high school years in a single day. i’m utterly inconsolable. i will not be continuing for the sake of my delusions (remus’ pov was sad enough—never again). why is it that their happy moments are so SO bittersweet, like please just be happy forever. (side note but SIRIUS AND MARY FRIENDSHIP OMG I ADORE THEM).
Yep! Still obsessed! The marauders live rent-free in my head and I will ignore anything bad that happens to them after they leave Hogwarts!
Part of me is SO curious to read the war chapters from Sirius's perspective and part of me does not want to go through that hell again. Also, I generally don't like the actual HP canon about the marauders. Some things just don't make sense from the characters' perspective.
Does that mean I'm as far down that I prefer the marauders era and ATYD canon over the original? Yes, thank you very much. No one is even queer in the original books... Kind of joking. Kind of not. There is so much more FUN and friendship and fucking around in this story. And even though this is still definitely fanfiction and not an edited book, the depth of characters in this is definitely out there, and I am overall pleasantly surprised by the quality of writing (both of the original and Sirius's perspective).
Please read All The Young Dudes if you like (queer) teenage angst and the whimsy of coming of age at Hogwarts (uhh despite being traumatized). Thank me later. And please talk to me about it !!!
you don’t understand they’re my little family guys i love them so much 🥺🥺🥺 will i be strong enough to read the war part ? who knows … i probably won’t 🥰 we’ll see ….. anyways WOLFSTAR !!! my babies my favorite people ever i’m so sirius 🥰🥰 and JILY !!! i love them so so so much … war part now let’s go
"Behind them, their friends followed at a slower pace. When Sirius glanced back, he could see them – six familiar silhouettes, striding across the Hogwarts grounds. Further back, over the lake, the sun began to set."
A third consecutive 5-star read for this fic. Holy hell.
Stopping here bc I will become depressed and I don’t really enjoy that😁 Men IAF har jag nämnt att jag älskar wolfstar + älskar även när Remus e kommentator på 🦁 vs 🐍 ✨iconic✨ typ bästa scenen👌👌 Tänker oxå på att atyd är så annorlunda från hp, (btw skriver en hel review för hela atyd nu även fast jag valde att dela upp den i flera på goodreads för att d va mer ✨aesthetic✨ ofc), för man blir alltid så ledsen när man läser om hp o så är det så odetaljerat o sen så blir man glatt överraskad när man läser atyd för att man får så många mer detaljer😌 Ps. Mitt favvo-prank e klockan, very iconic behaviour remu🤍🤍
Ich finde beide Perspektiven sind so eine Bereicherung zur Geschichte 💜 die (weitestgehend) unbeschwerte Schulzeit vor seiner Zeit in Askaban mitzuerleben ist so wholesome!
“Get back here, you prick! Just wait ‘til I get my hands on you—you’re a dead man, Black!”
“Only if you can catch me!” Sirius called over his shoulder, laughing.
He ran as fast as he could back into the castle that had been his home for seven years, sprinting past the familiar stone walls, the statues, the portraits. James chased after him, cursing and laughing, and for a moment, Sirius felt so happy that he could break.”

5 stars 😖😖 I love these bastards so much I’m scared to relive the war… But I’m rlly curious to see Sirius’ pov for when he thinks Remus is the spy & also escaping Azkaban…. If you don’t see me again it’s probably because I deceased reading the loss of James from Sirius’ pov 💔
Seventh Year: Thunder Markierung(gelb) - Position 18529 “Well then,” he looked back up, shrugging, wrestling with his voice to keep it steady, “S’pose we know how my family spent their summer, then.” He wanted this. “Fine.” He wanted to stay. “That’s fine.” He wanted them, more than he wanted me. “He’s picked his side. I’ve picked mine.” Sirius nodded, firmly. “Fine.” Seventh Year: Christmas Part 2 Markierung(gelb) - Position 19622 And there, its hind paw, the brightest star in the constellation: “Hi, Reg,” he whispered. The star continued to shine, silent and bright and so, so far away. Tell me it wasn’t you, Sirius begged, silently, Tell me you weren’t there. Tell me you didn’t do it, you didn’t want it, you didn’t mean it. Tell me that isn’t who you are. The stars didn’t reply. They never did. Seventh Year: Betrayal Markierung(gelb) - Position 20601 “But you did the right thing, in the end.” Sirius assured him, “That’s all that matters.” He leaned forward, kissing him gently. “You came back to us.” “I…” Remus swallowed, looking away, and Sirius waited. When he looked back, his eyes were burning, fervent, though his voice was barely a whisper. “I came back to you.” Maybe it’s alright, then, Sirius thought, as he kissed him again, Maybe it’s okay. Maybe he can leave, sometimes—as long as he comes back. Seventh Year: Interlude Markierung(gelb) - Position 20857 Remus reached down, snagging Sirius’s wrist in his long fingers. Sirius stared, mesmerised, as Moony dragged his hand to his mouth. He placed the end of the spliff—still stuck between Sirius’s own fingers—into his mouth, and sucked, smirking sinfully when he released his grip. Fuck. Seventh Year: Breakdown Markierung(gelb) - Position 23050 “Anything for our Moon—” Before he could finish, Remus had a hand on the back of his neck, pulling him in for a kiss. Seventh Year: Choices Markierung(gelb) - Position 23113 “I wanted to help.” You idiot, Sirius thought, staring at him, You beautiful, brilliant idiot. Markierung(gelb) - Position 23257 Remus rolled over to face him, eyes glowing, lit from within. “Thank you,” he whispered feverishly, passionately, crushing their lips together, “Thank you, thank you…” Anything, Sirius thought, as Remus’s mouth moved along his neck, as his hands slipped under his shirt, I’d do anything for you, Moony. Seventh Year: Apologies Markierung(gelb) - Position 23473 Suddenly, Remus’s fingers were brushing against Sirius’s jaw, pushing his hair back behind his ear. Before Sirius could ask what he was doing, the taller boy leaned in, quickly, pressing his lips against the pulse point of Sirius’s neck, flicking his tongue out for just a moment before pulling back. Sirius couldn’t help himself—he nearly gasped, sucking in a sharp breath of air as the heat from Remus’s mouth jolted straight through his body like lightning. His heart stuttered, then began to pound frantically in his chest. Markierung(gelb) - Position 23512 “That’s because you’ve got everyone fooled,” Marlene teased, smiling. “The whole school somehow thinks you’re the mild one out of this lot.” A slow smile crept across Remus’s face. “Are you suggesting I’m not?” He smirked, raising an eyebrow, and—oh, Merlin, Sirius thought, I am weak, I am so very, very weak. A small, strangled noise slipped from the back of his throat—he chugged his drink hastily, hoping that no one had heard. Seventh Year: After Dark Markierung(gelb) - Position 23550 Friday 28th April 1978 Markierung(gelb) - Position 23577 “Sirius!” Remus frowned, using the commanding voice that he had perfected–the one that left no room for protest, “Stop whining.” Sirius fell silent immediately, sitting up a bit straighter. One command in that voice was usually followed by others—be quiet, lie back, shirt off... Remus smirked, as if he knew exactly what Sirius was thinking. “Good boy.” The War: July 1978 Markierung(gelb) - Position 24561 When it was Sirius’s turn, he cleared his throat, heart pounding, and said, “Sirius Black.” A few of the members began to whisper, and some faces darkened, eyes narrowing in suspicion. Sirius raised his chin, daring them to say anything–to question why he was there. Nobody did. The War: Winter 1978-1979 Markierung(gelb) - Position 25306 So Remus resented him. And he resented Remus, for resenting him. And Remus resented him for resenting his resentment, and they just kept going in circles, until Sirius couldn’t see any way out of it. Markierung(gelb) - Position 25527 “Thank you. I’m sorry, but I don’t think I caught your name?” “Sirius.” “… I’m sorry?” “S-I-R-I-U-S. Sirius Black. Sorry, but I’d better go check on him—” The War: The Mission Markierung(gelb) - Position 25919 Sirius arrived in Cornwall just before dawn. He sat on the crumbling castle wall, staring out towards the sea, watching the sun rise. He waited. The War: Numbers Markierung(gelb) - Position 26442 Every time Sirius closed his eyes, he had nightmares—horrible dreams, dreams that cracked his ribs and pulped his heart and hollowed him out. In the dreams, Remus lay beside him, and kissed him, and whispered I’m right here, love. When Sirius woke up, his chest hurt so badly that he couldn’t breathe. Markierung(gelb) - Position 26491 “Look at yourself, Sirius!” James tugged at his hair, equal parts desperate and exasperated, “Loving someone isn’t supposed to fucking—rot you!” And in eight years of friendship, Sirius had never hated James. Had never even been angry with him, not really. James was the only constant in his life; his best friend, his brother, his person. He always would be. But in that moment, Sirius couldn’t stop himself from hating him. Just a little bit. Just for a second. Markierung(gelb) - Position 26501 He thought of Moony. You’re magic. Markierung(gelb) - Position 26508 There was only one person Sirius wanted to see. And it was the one person he couldn’t have. The War: Saviour Markierung(gelb) - Position 26576 “You’re still at Hogwarts, Reg, so what the fuck were you doing in Hogsmeade on a weeknight?” “That’s not—I wasn’t—” Oh no, Sirius thought, cold dread spilling through his veins, No no no no no… “It’s an ambush,” he heard himself asking, “Isn’t it?” For a moment, there was silence. Then his brother’s face cracked, and Sirius knew that he was right. “I had to get you out,” Regulus whispered. No, Sirius thought, no no no no no no— Markierung(gelb) - Position 26589 Regulus was staring at him, eyes wide, lip trembling. His hand was shaking badly now, wand wobbling in his grasp. “I had to get you out,” he mumbled, feverishly, “I had to get you out, I’m trying to save you—” Markierung(gelb) - Position 26641 Time passed, and kept on passing. The War: Summer 1979 Markierung(gelb) - Position 27357 “Go on then, take the piss…” “Never,” Remus stood, smiling, and walked over to him, “I love how fancy you are.” He pulled Sirius in for a kiss—sweet, at first, but then Sirius parted his lips slightly, and Remus’s tongue was there, and—Oh. Sirius thought, Blimey, alright… The War: Dulce et Decorum est Markierung(gelb) - Position 27433 I didn’t need you to save me—I needed you to save yourself. Markierung(gelb) - Position 27467 Reggie is—Sirius choked, leaning an arm against the wall, pressing his forehead to the tile. And it was just the shower, just the water running down his face, stinging his eyes, dripping salty from his chin. Just the shower, and nothing else—he was breathing, he was fine, he wasn’t shaking, wasn’t shuddering, wasn’t falling apart. The War: Winter 1979 Markierung(gelb) - Position 27800 In those tiny moments where he noticed Remus slipping, briefly, away, he wanted nothing more than to grab him, to shake him, to cling to him. You’re not theirs, some small, possessive voice in the back of his mind would scream, You’re not theirs. You’re mine. The War: Spring & Summer 1980 Markierung(gelb) - Position 28363 Remus stood from his spot in an armchair and moved over to stand next to Sirius, twisting their fingers together. “You’re a godfather,” he whispered, eyes brighter than they’d been in ages. Sirius gazed at him, struck once more by how beautiful happiness looked when it was painted across his face. “Yeah,” he murmured, nodding, “… blimey, I really hope I don’t balls it up.” The War: The Rat Markierung(gelb) - Position 29646 Sirius opened the door, and James was dead. The world stopped, shattered, and rearranged itself, trying desperately to accommodate this fact. It came back together disjointed, made all of sharp pieces, an inescapable cage in which Sirius found himself trapped. Markierung(gelb) - Position 29705 “I’m going to kill the rat.”

en fait ce tome englobe que la 7ème année du coup le prochain c'est la guerre #forceàmoi All the young dudes sera toujours hyper précieuse à mes yeux rien n'a le même goût que lire les maraudeurs en train de faire des pranks + le wolfstar originel Ça m'a grave émue que ce soit la fin de leurs années à Poudlard ouin
Can i just say that was the perfect ending of their seven years at Hogwarts ? Sirius and James chasing each other and Sirius turning around and seeing his friends… man I’m soppy too🥲🥲🥲
They were so silly and young and naïve and I’m gonna miss all of this and idk if i can keep reading the last book knowing what happens 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
i am nowhere near ready for what’s about to happen and i just want to make this perfection right here last forever. and ever, and ever, and ever. i will love you, and i had a feeling so peculiar, that this pain would last forevermore.
