Even though I've read a couple of other long-ish fics focusing on these characters, none has had this grand sweep where you really get to see them grow up, become friends, fall in love, and struggle with all the pain of a wizarding world at war. It is a 526k word epic charting the Marauders' lives from their first year of Hogwarts to (view spoiler), from Remus Lupin's point of view. All the Young Dudes fits that description perfectly. I especially like fics that are canon or near-canon and expand my perspective of the world beyond the main story.

One of mine has been fanfiction - I've read many times more fanfiction in the past two months than in my entire life before that. It is a 526k word epic charting the Marauders' lives f People are coping with COVID-19 in all kinds of ways. People are coping with COVID-19 in all kinds of ways. i also refuse to acknowledge anything that happens after this fic, and remus and sirius are still chilling in their little flat with their records and their books and their cups of teas and harry pops by every weekend and sirius cries when harry names his first born after him, and remus cries when harry decides to give his second son a normal name (his name will be fred remus potter you can't convince me otherwise) and then when lily luna is born they both cry because she looks so much like the og lily and then remus resumes his teaching position at the school and sirius sells the black home and uses the money to buy a lil cottage for him and remus in hogsmeade and I'm getting carried away i just want all of them to be happy. In all seriousness, marlene and mary are now the best characters to have ever lived in the hp universe and there will always be a part of my heart bleeding for both of them. i also refuse to acknowledge anything that happens after this fic, and remus and sirius are still chilling in their little flat with their records and their books a bit rude of jkr to plagiarise these characters and put them in her books without giving credit but considering she's a terf i wouldnt have expected anything else. in all seriousness, marlene and mary are now the best characters to have ever lived in the hp universe and there will always be a part of my heart bleeding for both of them.
