Wow. Just wow. This chapter literally had me crying about 70% of the time. You wrote this so so well and the emotion is just so RAW like i dont even know how you wrote such an amzing and depressing chapter all in one.

I've heard a lot about this story, it's been on almost all Jily recommendation lists that I've seen and now that I read it I UNDERSTAND WHY! It's so good! I had such an incredibly good time reading it and I also have so much admiration for you!
I loved everything about it: characterization, relationship dynamics, banter, chemistry, even OCs. It's so admirable that you brought the story this far over the years! And it's even more admirable that you're writing a newer version that you can bet I'm gonna run and read right this moment!
I'm also so content about the place you stopped this story? I mean, many writers abandoned stories at such unsatisfactory places, before couple even got together, there are legendary stories in Jily fandom that I know I'll never touch just because they stop at a horrible place and I don't want to get attached - but this story is at such a nice part that I don't feel bad at all to read and then come back and keep rereading it with pleasure any time! Hell, I'm not even sure if I WANT to read the ending where they die hahaha (though I'd love to see Jily as parents and baby Harry ;))
I can't wait to start on the reboot now! I understand your struggles with the muse though, I myself experienced a bit of an interest loss over time but then I read Snape's Worst Memory, literally just one chapter, and my interest came back with a roar Haha! Then I went on Jily tag on tumblr and the rest is history, I've been stuck here for more then a year now LOL
Anyway, I won't bother you anymore! I hope with all my heart your inspiration return and also thank you so much for writing this story!

So I’ve really liked this so far, but I thought James was a bit of a pushover this chapter. Even if Sirius had broken ribs and Snape took them by surprise, I’d think the two of them would be able to handle Snape, especially if James is as talented as you’ve shown so far. Not to mention you’ve been dropping hints about how he does know some stuff when it comes to dueling. I figure it’s just to advance the plot, but I feel like James has yet to actually win any duels, and he definitely shouldn’t lose in 2 on 1 situation.

Do what you have to do. Those of us who love the story and want to see how it ends will still be here to support your writing.

I LOVE this story! I've spent the last 2 days ignoring all my responsibilities and I'm sad it's over. I know you are reworking it but that one looks like it hasn't been updated in a while. I just want to send my appreciation for your work and do some mild begging for you to continue! Thank you for sharing your fic!

Damn, Julia’s death hit me in the heart. I feel terrible for Sirius. I kind of resented you for it, actually. I wish Julia could’ve at least been there for Lily and James’s wedding. I almost abandoned this fic actually, because it’s so well written, but horrifyingly sad that I’m sobbing. But while I need a bit of a break from reading this, know that your writing is exceptional. I don’t see many fics that are this well done. I wrote a bit of a poem, if you can even call it that, about Sirius’s resent for Lily and James still having each other, and how he gets over it. I was imagining it set to music in my head, but unfortunately there’s no way for me to convey that to you.

The poem:

I’ve laughed with you,
I’ve learned with you,
I’ve been with you.

And now...you’re going up,
You’re growing up.
We’re growing up.

And you have her...
And I have...
No one.

And I have no one.
And I have no one.

And I watch you,
Laugh with her.
Learn with her.
Be with her.

I feel left in the dust.

But she’ll let me laugh with you,
Learn with you,
Be with you.

All of us together,
We’ll laugh together.
Learn together,
Be together.

None of us are ever alone.
We’ll do it together.
We’ll make a million mistakes,
But we’ll do it all,
Together.

Please email me at if you’d like, because I hope you plan to write more fanfictions about Lily and James. Would you consider doing an AU, without the war? A royalty AU or a college AU, or maybe, a royal James in college with Lily AU (like Prince William and Duchess Kate).

Guest chapter 52 . 6/20/2018
just read this in like a 24 hour period and holy shit I cant process how much I love this. Your characterizations are absolutely perfect and Julia was sooooooo much fun. She and sirius are like my otp. Other than jily of course ;)

I strongly admire your perseverance in writing such a spectacularly long fanfiction. It shows passion, stamina, and talent, but I do have to say one thing: Lily has been described as stubborn by a number of people, and I believe that that may have impacted her decision to be so contrary with James when he insisted that she loved him too. The fact that she doesn't want anyone telling her what to do or feel when she is not of the opinion that they are qualified to do is all good and well! Like, Lily. Girl. I get you. But what doesn't make sense to me is how strong her friendship is with Julia. Julia is constantly telling her what to do and feel, especially when it comes to James, which is a very sensitive subject for Lily. She obviously likes him very much, but considering everything that has happened between them, not to mention her history with Severus, this is hard for her to come to terms with. I think that it is both rude and a bad idea for Julia to continue sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. Julia's obnoxious, self-righteous nosiness is more likely to drive Lily away from James than towards him. Matters of the heart are meant to be dealt with by the person who the heart belongs to. I realize that I'm attacking your OC for, like, no reason. Sorry! I'm just really tired of of Lily's bestie being some "perfect" girl that is hooking up with Sirius, and is spontaneous, beautiful, funny, desired, perfect, smart, cool, perfect, promiscuous, popular, and perfect. It's not realistic, and it's really frustrating.
