officially halfway through! very scared as i’m only 250k out of 900k so the later chapters must be super long. i am currently scared for what’s going to happen. the last chapter the main character lost contact with his friends from home that were parental figures to him, and then the chapters starts going “years from now, remus will be depressed blah blah” LIKE Y R U SPOILING ME!? not prepared for the angst

so much has happened omg. he’s like battling with his inner turmoil of being queer and it’s written so beautifully, like the internalized homophobia makes me so sad i’ve cried so much. he’s currently been hooking up all summer with sirius and they’ve said i love u but remus is like i can’t be queer so now they’re just for behind closed doors. UGH I KNOW THIS WILL WRECK ME

i have been reading this for the past 9 hours, currently 122k words in out of 980k, making good progress. So far i would say i am the same amount of hooked as i was with ATYD, tho i like the setting of this way better. also this book is supposed to be a super slow burn and so far there hasn’t even been a hint at romance, which i am very happy with. happy reading!
