All the young dudes 

Laura

Like an unbroken spell, Remus felt every moment come flooding back to him as vividly as if it were yesterday; not the fights, or the war, or the emptiness, but the joy, the thrill of frienship, and the love - so, so much love.

"You've been fine," Grant smiled, without a trace of blame. "You've been my little bit of magic." 

It's giving Kanej in Crooked Kingdom and I'm here for it.

Sirius didn't speak, just looked up at him, grateful and happy, and Remus thought if he could bottle that look then he'd never struggle with a patronus again.

Just as Sirius was pushing the statue of the humpbacked witch aside, Remus touched his arm. "Sirius?"

This was no great thing for them – James and Sirius treated it as any other afternoon; the hospital bed was just an extension of their dorm. For Remus it was everything – it was time that would otherwise be spent anxious and alone. It was the closest thing to family he could imagine.

Sorry isn't good enough. Your guilt isn't good enough. I need you to feel it too. I trusted you. I trusted you with every last secret, I offered you every piece of me. What else have I got now? I could kill you. I could bash your teeth in so you choke on them, I could wrap my hands around your throat and squeeze, I could rip you to pieces, I could, I could, I could kiss you, you fucking bastard.

I've loved keeping your secret I'd keep a thousand more, for you

Magical 🥹  just love how the marauders became so much more three dimensional now and how it seamlessly connects with the Harry Potter universe we love. 

This is so much more than a fanfic, this is absolute art - 1500 pages out there for free.

Honestly, after watching all those marauders edits on my for you page, I felt like I had a duty to read All the young dudes. I downloaded the book from ao3 and read it in the train to and from uni. And guess what? My for you page was right. This is not just fanfiction, it is fanart. J.K. Rowling could never. 

I thought it was refreshing how the characters were not 100% likeable, they all had their flaws and I loved them for it (stan Bambi <3). I loved how there is more in-depth about the first wizarding war and how the werewolves played a role in that one. 

I knew it was a wolfstar fanfic, but when I was in the train home reading about the moment they got together, I looked at the invisible camera in shock (like in the Office?) which obviously wasn't there and I just looked very strangely at the man sitting across from me (I left the train at the next stop). Another time I was holding back tears when the train just rolled into my stop and I had to ask people to move so I could get out. It was so worth it. Please read it, it's a free masterpiece. 

I don't know if I'm going to read more fanfiction, because I didn't really like reading on my phone, but All the young dudes was definitely awesome.

If you liked this book, I recommend: help to get out of your existential crisis because what are you going to do with your life after you've read this?

This is a proper book (it has somewhere around 530K words) so I will make an exception and add it to my reading challenge.
Wow. To think this is a fanfiction that was posted on a free website. Unbelievable. This story brought me so much joy, I couldn't stop smiling as I read. What I throughly enjoyed were their years aht Hogwarts; when I re-read, I'll definitely read until the ending of the seventh year.
However, for the post-Hogwarts part of the book, I have my slight critiques. It is sad, it is heartbreaking, but I felt the ending was a little rushed. Remus and his licanthropy, his story with who he finds himself accompanied by; those are things that were worked through the entire book and there's nothing surprising or rushed about it. But the ending and the days that lead up to that night when the story ends... I feel like, maybe, some of the previous chapters could've been erased and instead give more space for the final chapters to develop. Maybe even a chapter from this other character's point of view (the one that reappears during the last bit of the book, I don't want spoilers). Also, the author has a "policy" by which she doesn't rewrite events already narrated in any of the canon books. This applies to the major deaths too, and I feel the events per se were overlooked and I would've loved to read them in Remus' s point of view. 
Overall, amazing book. With the references and the songs at the beginning of each chapter, I really felt I was in the 70's. I hope someday we can read MsKingBean89 published by an important publishing company.

It was amazing!
This is probably going to be a short review because I’m in school rn lmao.
I’m a massive marauders era fan, but this book has always been to intimidating for me to start.
For anyone else who thinks the same, it’s so easy to read, everything just flows and you get hooked immediately, and I’m so glad I tried it.
I love all of the characters so much, and the story is so well done.
It made me cry so much though to just be warned.

I think I'm gonna have to read a little life next, just so I can recover from this.

Currenlty re-reading it because I love pain apparently. MsKingBean understands the HP verse better than JKR does. I will be obsessed with this story FOREVER

Chelsea van Rer

i loved this. it was really cute and emotional and emotional and emotional. took 1 star off for the fact that it was not grammatically correct a fair bit of the time, but the story was amazing. kudos for mskingbean89 for actually finishing the fic lmao. 
k, go read this rn.

Rather fitting that my last read of 2020 was a 1500 page Harry Potter fanfic but you best believe im counting it towards my goal. Also this was amazing and I cried heaps.

Yes It's a piece of fanfiction but it's longer than IT by Stephen King and that's on here so why not right? Anyways if you have not read this yet and you like Harry Potter, you should read it. Especially since the original author of the HP series is a TERF. mskingbean89 we love you

It took me a very long time to get through this because it was an emotional rollercoaster and I could only take little at a time. I loved it so much and Remus was written so well. I felt really connected to him. I like that the author changed nothing about the original storyline, but the knowledge about what was going to happen didn’t make it any easier for me.

no thoughts just 'tell me a secret'. screaming, crying.

I was kinda disappointed with this. Not in a way that I would say it was a bad book but rather in a way that I thought it would break me which it didn’t 😂
Recommend it to everyone obsessed with the marauders 

I didn’t cry but TikTok edits made about this that I watched made me sob. It’s beautiful and wonderful and absolutely bloody gorgeous. Best fanfic I’ve ever read. And Moony and Sirius reuniting just made my heart hurt because they had so little time after that.
