this is why i dont read canon! fics! you really had to go and rip my heart to shreds didnt you? typical.
but goddammit I loved this. I love Holly and Srius. I especially liked the way you wrote Sirius. Womanizer!Sirius isnt necessarily bad, but Im definitely much more intrigued by and in love with this aloof and boyish Sirius. the womanizing stuff is all fanon anyway, and this is much more in line with the characterization of him we saw in the memory.
and Hollyi just love her. i love her divination talents, and how funny she is. and how much she really cares, even when she pretends she doesn't. i also absolutely adore that shes a Hufflepuff! im dead sick of Gryff!OFC/Sirius tbh. and Slyth!OFC/Sirius.
i love how i could feel how much they absolutely loved each other. it didnt feel like i was being told that they were in love, and i had to force myself to believe the author. i loved how you could feel the love even when they could barely acknowledge it themselves.
and then you went and gave us chapter 29. bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh
Im crying man. part of me wishes i could have at least seen them with Harry, being all nurturing and stuff when they didnt even know about their own child.
which, unforgivable. how dare! you beat up my poor heart! it is defenseless and at your complete mercy!
im gonna need some time, and even if im conflicted about how it ended, i am very grateful to have been allowed to read this beautiful work. so thank you, even though you totally broke my heart.

this was such a lovely read. my heart can't take it omg.. i especially love the slowburn, how you can tell just when they start falling for each other - it's so beautiful. i loved every bit of their journey! thank you so much for writing so brilliantly AND SO TANGIBLY, LIKE... my emotions. what are my emotions. T_T

"I'm sorry, Aubrey, I'm an alcoholic-" LMAOOOOO THIS LINE ALONE! BRILLIANT your humour in this is just top tier, thank you!

This is the second or third time reading this fic and it still warms my heart and makes me squee! I think you created my new security blanket of a fanfic. It makes me so fucking happy and I, as a wannabe writer, don't think I'll ever write anything as good. "Holly" telling the story just radiates feelings! I feel her nerves, her happiness and excitement (even when she doesn't recognize it), the way she doesn't even know she's falling. I love it so much

Good lord I am not ashamed to say that this beautiful work brought tears to my eyes. You did a fantastic job and I could of read about Sirius and Holly forever.

Also, I sacrificed a ridiculous amount of sleep for this..

I absolutely adore this story, I always come back to it and I have been for years now! Thank you for writing something so amazingly beautiful and being PATIENT and not rushing into the romance straight off because it's my biggest peeve and again this story just is so gorgeous even if I was bawling my eyes out at the end. You shared this with the world, and for that I say thank you, thank you, thank you!

genuinely melting at this

omygod its 2am n I'm SOBBING! this was so beautiful n I love how u portrayed Sirius as something other than a playboy , I love Holly n Sirius and James and Lilly so much n I was just hoping so badly for a happy ending buy u had to go and crush my heart but I still loved every moment of it!

I absolutely loved it! I love this version of Sirius Black! I mean I love all his notorious mischievous sometimes dark shadowy versions of him... But here it is something else. Here he's more of a like a total sweetheart...Just the man well most of us hoping to have in a relationship. I want to thank you for making me fall for him all over again. And I admire your imagination and creativity to make a bond pair with a Gryffindor and a Hufflepuff specially for a guy like Sirius. And I want to thank you for making Holly as well. She's really a something. I mean completely opposite of Sirius in away. But we all know that the opposite attracts! She has got all the Hufflepuff qualities in her... I love her... And I love the afterlife thing as well. Because really...this is a happy ending for me. I adore the daddy side of Sirius... He's written in the stars literally. I love how you add Regulus to your story. He should re-bond with his brother after all. I mean he too deserve a happy ending or as you say a wonderful ending of a beginning. You're an amazing writer. And I must say I'm little bit jealous... Oh who am I kidding?! I am completely jealous. Bravo for this fiction of yours.

This was really nice!

No no no nonononojojonon harry deserved to meet her he deserved to have his parents and his godfather and his wife maybe. Nooooo please dont this was sucha perfect piece of marauders era story i am so mad and crying ughhhh i cant believe you did this to me to us. I am coming after you with pitch forks after the quarantine. But ughh this was so good you are such a good writer i dont even have words

I am loving this story just having this massive grin while reading this. My mum has been suspicious what i have been doing. But if you killed any of them i would be so mad at you. And please dont make petèr evil i actually for once like his character a little please

How fucking dare you! I'm strait up sobbing over here! This might be the best piece of marauders writing I've ever read. I am in fucking awe. I'm really picky about fiction and I am in love with this one. Oh merlin the tears won't stop. Thank you so fucking much for ruining all other fan fiction for me cause this one takes the cake!

i know i'll have found the right person for myself if we have the same kinds of conversations that sirius and holly have
