I just finished this amazing story and I am heartbroken that it ends with to be continued!

so I think this goes without saying but this story is brilliant. I remember reading part of this back when you first published it but I unfortunately I wasn’t around for the more recent updates. I’ve got back into reading recently and I had to revisit this story. i love how you followed the books whilst also adding your own spin of things. Remus and tonks I feel we’re such underrated characters and I would have loved there to have been more about them in the books, this story definitely helped fill in their gaps. As I reached the end I was thoroughly looking forward to you covering the battle of the seven potters and then of course tonks’ pregnancy and was dissapointed to find it stopped just short. I do wonder if you have any intention of continuing as I would love to see how to wrap up their story. Either way, I loved this story and I will be looking out for an update even after all this time and I’ll no doubt re read this again because it is great.

I’ve gotten to the end and feel very bittersweet about it. Bitter because there’s no more chapters for me to get lost in the wonderful world you’ve created, and sweet because it’s been a wonderful ride. Thank you. I’ve savored the beauty in your writing, and just... thank you for putting in the hard work and sharing it with us.
I’m curious about the title of your work, “The color of a full moon”... if I had to guess, I’d have to say it has something to do with all the colors of Tonk’s hair, and that you were planning to tie it all together at the end.
Anyway, brilliant story. I’ve followed it in the hopes that you’ll pick it up again someday, but if not, all the best for whatever you undertake in the future. My heartfelt thanks to you for sharing this bit of yourself.

Eh, I am really not feeling it. “It” being anything remotely close to sympathy. Lupin is a douche in this chapter and Tonks should be well rid of him. Goodness gracious, I’ve never realized before but she is just too good for him. I know you’re trying to explain why he is the way he is, but it’s just hollow and annoying to me how he is so self-pitying and self-centered. I’m going to move on to the next chapter with hopes of a better Lupin. (And yeah, the nudge at lily-Lupin was kinda the last straw for me, broke any chance of me liking this chapter).

Not going to lie, I’m the teeniest bit annoyed at Rupin for the first time ever. Kinda pissed he used her for her body AGAIN and this unhealthy on-again off-again relationship he’s spiraling into and dragging her with him.

Brilliant writing though! Love their love scenes so much

The way that chapter ended... with Lupin’s dream... you’re going to be the end of me! My heart can’t take anymore.
Also, I do realize you never finished this story, so I’m trying to slow down my reading because I’m dreading that I’ll reach the end and it’ll be a terrible cliffhanger. (Though, to be honest, the actual end is that they die, and perhaps that is why you never finished it? Because it’s kind of a depressing way to end a beautiful love story. But really, they do live on in heaven, and through their son on earth. Too bad he ends up with the arrogant veela’s kid, of all people)

Like I said, I never developed a fondness for Nymphadora while reading the books, but wow, after starting your story and particularly after this spectacular chapter, I am completely taken with your version of her. You’ve certainly done a more than fantastic job fleshing her out. My heart is broken into a million pieces for her in this chapter. Those in pain never realize it’s okay to take their time to heal.

Your most powerful chapter yet, and that’s saying a lot since you’ve had some greats.

Also, I noticed you wrote this a few years ago but congrats anyway on having your screenplay accepted! I don’t know where that eventually led, but I wish you all the best. You deserve to be wildly successful; you have so much talent. And if you’re not there yet, don’t give up.

That last line, the last sentence. It killed me. I’m dead.

This was one of the rare instances that I don’t think you stayed true to canon for a character. Bellatrix’s conversation with N, with Bella taunting her, that’s all expected. But I don’t think she would have used family ties to taunt. In the books, Bella seemed quite ashamed that she was related to N. She declared lousy that Andromeda was “no sister of mine!” So he fact that they actually are related is a sore spot for Bella and one that she is unlikely to turn around and use to taunt N.
For example, I can sooner see her saying “how is dear old mother, still married to that mudblood?” More than I can see her saying “how is my dear sister, still married to that mudblood?” She would not so readily admit blood relations to someone she considered so impure.

Ugh, I forgot to mention something again, but I did want to make sure I said it...
I’m glad you didn’t make Sirius pathetic. ...when I read the book, I imagined Sirius moping around all day, being sad, throwing himself pity parties. But you, you gave him his own life. Yes, he does have down moments, and yes, his life does revolve around Harry, but you gave him a life outside of Harry too... and that is strangely uplifting to me. ... thank you for that. You may not understand why I’m thanking you, but I can’t think of any more appropriate words. I’m really glad you gave Sirius a bit of sunshine before he died. Now I’m off to read the next chapter and kind of dreading that it will be his death chapter.

Ok, much to praise in this chapter! (I have more time to write reviews between chapters because I’m dreading what’s coming, hint: major character death)

For one, isn’t it just perfect the way you let Fred and George find out about the creators of the map? I’ve always wondered if they ever did and how cool that would have been for both parties. Such a minor event, but I’m so glad you thought to put it in. Just gave me happy tingles and brightened my day.

Secondly, *stifled laughter* Dumbledore walking in on them was cute, and then the irony you slipped in by having N say, “it would be our luck that Dumbledore wakes in” not knowing he already had. You sneaky devil. It’s small stuff like that that really makes your writing wonderful... The plot and characterizations are all very good, but this is just icing on the cake.

I forgot to mention, I really like how you split up the scenes and sometimes show both povs. I love seeing the same thing from their different lenses!
The pace of the action is perfect, too!

I’m ashamed to say I’ve gotten this far without leaving a review until now... chapter 39, so I really owe you 39 reviews!
I’ve been reading nonstop, with little thought to food and sleep; your story is so captivating! I should have left a review sooner, but I was just so caught up in the story, sorry!
Anyway, I love this story. Love your Lupin, N, and Sirius. This is quite a feat considering that I never shipped Lupin/N before. I thought Lupin was a dear but had little interest in him nor N.
The only thing that I don’t like about your story is the references to Lily. Maybe I’m jealous on N’s behalf? I don’t know, but it just annoys me that Lupin seems to be comparing N to Lily... almost as if he couldn’t have Lily because of James, so N is just what he settles for. I’m trying hard to ignore the Lily mentions. Thankfully there’s not too many, but I rather wish N was just completely separate and special to Lupin, without comparisons to any other females.

You have captured Remus very well. His choice of words and politenes were perfect.
