“are you gonna bend me over that piano or what?” GOD SAVE THE QUEEEEEEN

THEY FUUUUUUCKED. and it was so beautiful i could cry.

IM LOSING MY SHIT. remus grappling with queer thoughts, the makeout sesh in the bathroom??? THEIR FIRST KISS WAS DURING A GAME IN FRONT OF ALL THEIR FRIENDS??? summer separation, driving lessons with giles, SANDY?? LYALL PROPOSING TO SANDY?? SIRIUS CALLING FROM DOVER? GRAND THEFT AUTO?????? LUPIN ROW, HAND IN HAND ENDING. i’m going insane.

barty is also a fucking trick ass asshat who could probably benefit from a pity fuck. oh my god what a prick. and regulus. where the fuck is his spine. i would have pictured him a more mature swot but clearly not the case. peter’s on drums and james associates color with sound which i think is such a unique touch to his character. i love the way remus is completely and utterly entranced by sirius, very realistic.

“my mother didn’t kill herself!!!” I AM REEEELING. this batch of chapters was full of so much raw emotion. remus is so full of rage and unprocessed feelings that it’s seeping out of him like the fake blood sirius wanted to spill over regulus’ head. it’s getting closer though now, i can feel it. the slow burn’s wick is getting shorter and we’re nearing the big fat climax of it all. i’m so excited.

finally we have moony, wormtail, padfoot and prongs.
remus being head over heels about sirius and not being able to cope on my gaaaaawd the yearning. TONYA’S LETTER LEFT ME IN PIECES. sirius being remus’ confidant is so sweet to me. they’re developing such a strong and loving relationship whilst also being 17 and it’s just so perfectly written. i love peter’s characterization in this book, a true artist.

“HE WAS SO IRREVOCABLY IN LOVE WITH HIM”
OHHHHH MA GAWD

IM IN LOVE WITH THIS FIC.
chapter 50 is my favorite so far.
remus and sirius play 20 questions and i want to sob. i think motswolo does an amazing job and capturing these characters and their personalities.

1 knock means “i need help.”
2 knocks mean “i’m okay.”

the glimpse at the future made me a little sad but we’ll see how it plays out.
