that’s the art of getting by

I’m crying. It’s so sad and beautiful at the same time. Can’t wait for the next chapter. Thank you for writing this

this is very beautiful to m e . i’m gonna cry. this is so good—and it doesn’t completely cut out the grief Remus would be going through and i’m in LOVE with it. thank you for posting it!!

remus raising harry is so <3333 one of my favorite tropes

Beautiful story! Can’t wait to read the next chapter!

This so sad and so beautiful and it wrenched my heart out of my chest. Excellent work, you're so talented!!

I'm crying. This is already so beautiful and vulnerable.

ahh this was so good!! can't wait for the next chapter!!

EVERYTHING HURTS TT_TT

Aaaah this is so good, I love it so much! In-character characters, sophisticated prose that conveys emotion very effrctively and recent updates -- I'm so happy. Can't wait until Sirius shows up!

I'm crying in a sea of feelings. I LOVE the stories in whish is Remus who take care of Harry instead of Sirius (but with the promise that Sirius will show up eventually) so I'm looking to see where this story will take us and I'm exiting

You have already reduced me to a crying mess with the very first paragraph! And it only got worse towards the end. Everything hurts. It is so beautifully written, your words let the reader know exactly what Remus is going through and my heart aches for him and Harry. And your characterisation of Remus is spot on!!! At least for me because this is EXACTLY how I picture him after Halloween 1981. And to actually be able to read that with my own two eyes?!?! Thank you so much! Honestly this is such an incredible experience for me!!! nsckwdmwpjdw also yes to remus screwing around, looking for some kind of absolution, or for a way to feel nothing, or a way to forget and I CANNOT TAKE IT but yep, I can totally see that happening...

i clicked on this expecting the angst to happiness and already, you've delivered! i can't wait to read more and oh boy, it's going to be a lot. but. i do love aus where harry is well,,,loved at home. it's not a lot to ask for, i don't think. remus feels so very real here and i can't wait to see him heal as well.

Oh my god this is one of the best wolfstar raises Harry fics I’ve read so far!! The way you intertwine Remus’ trauma with his trying to raise Harry is soooo amazing!! Cant wait for more

you're writing is absolutely divine. you are truly gifted with words. i have such a pleasure reading your work!

P a i n, I already started crying

So beautifully written and heart aching. I love how you’ve explored Remus’ grief, his emotions through all this. And that mini snippet of when the war was won. I can’t wait to see how Remus grows in this, raising Harry and how Sirius fits into all of this. Completely adore your way with yours and can’t wait to see where it all ends up

Okay so I am already rereading it because I loved so much!But now I will do a proper “analysis” of the chapters, here we go:- “The boy isn’t safe with them,” well finally someone realized, I just hoped this is how it went in canon- hand-shaped bruise on his face wow this one really broke my heart, I don’t actually think the Dursley’s would physically abuse Harry, especially as a baby in canon, but I understand your choice to have them doing that in the fic. This got me thinking how Petunia took care of Harry. Like when he was a baby, did she neglected him, what did he ate, did he took showers, all of those things.-“Miss my cupboard,” Harry says sadly. Oh poor baby. When we look back at the story we can see how much darker it is, how traumatized he must have been, really, the Dursley’s are sick.I am also really liking how you treat Remus grief and trauma, very realistic. I love to torture myself and read some angst and pain so I now this will be perfect.

ohmygod i started crying right off the bat, my babies

Oh my god that first paragraph. It both warmed my heart and then ya led it out and stepped on it. I’m so excited to read the rest of this!!

one chapter in and I cried, wow, I can tell you’re such an incredible writer ! So exited for the rest of the chapters!

I came from tiktok! And I love it already :))

Before the wolf. After the wolf. Before Hogwarts. After Hogwarts. Before Halloween. After Halloween.Oh. I would love to leave more comprehensive comments but I'm kind of busy having a lot of feelings.I've been reading it aloud to myself and it's going to take me some time to process because it's very emotionally charged. It's technically immaculate and also I can't help noticing that you have picked up on a very interesting series of parallels. they are very hard to summarise here because I am in fact actively crying but I'm sure you know what you wrote

I stumbled upon this story after watching a tiktok that gave this a glowing recommendation. And I am so so happy that I decided to read this. From the get go, I feel the emotion seeping out of your words. I cannot wait to continue this beautiful story. Thank you so much for deciding to write this, I hope you’re doing well and staying safe !! :)

I love this already

I'm sobbing omfg. This is brilliant.

I came here from a tiktok recomendation and damn was the girl right because there have already been about 4 instances in this chapter where I would've cried if I was feeling a bit more emotional.

Oh no I’m gonna cry

This is utterly beautiful and completely heartbreaking. Thank you xx

Oh my goodness. I came here after a recommendation from TikTok and I'm so glad I did. This is so painful and so wonderful and I can't wait to read the whole thing. Ugh. I'm in love with it already!

I just know I'm going to suffer... ILOVE IT

How'd you manage to make me cry in the first chapter!!

Not me crying through the entire chapter already. So excited to keep reading!

AHHHH MY HEART HURTS SO MUCH I LOVE IT

THE TEARS IN MY EYES WOW

This is such a great story!!

This is already breaking my heart and I’m so here for it!

This is amazingly well written! A really interesting perspective. My heart keeps on clenching when I read it!I can't wait to read more!

"should have checked on the boy sooner" is at the samr time kinda funny and really horrible...

I'm really enjoying this fic so far! I love the idea of remus raising harry and working through the trauma that was felt by both of them. I especially love the thought that remus came up with the patronus messages. I will say, I wish there were more content warnings for the chapters? Not a criticism, just a note, because personally I'm more comfortable recommending fics when they have content warnings in the chapter notes when it comes to child abuse, mental health, etc. I just know so many people ignore the tags or are better prepared when the content warnings come as you read. Just a thought! Like I said, really enjoying it so far.

Not gonna lie the “miss my cupboard” almost had me in tears. Harry deserved so much better 😭 I can already tell I’m going to like this and enjoy your writing style ❤️

First chapter and I'm already crying—

This hit a spot. I haven’t been reading fanfiction for a while, I think school got the best out me, but this is incredibly well written. I am so exited to read on, as it is such an interesting take, a story I have wanted to be told. Thank you!

this is so beautiful- thank goodness you have a note at the tag for a happy ending because rey deserves one after this. it breaks my heart to think what he went through

omg this is so good!!! i was recommended this on tiktok and i’m genuinely so excited

I’m already sobbing. I’ve heard loads of people raving about this fic so tonight at 1:30am I thought it would be a good idea to read it.

can i draw some of these scenes? if so, where could i send them to you?

I can already tell this fic is going to leave me a sobbing mess and I WELCOME IT

Tiktok recommended this fic and I'm already in tears. This is gonna be a good one

I was already crying man..WHY IS THIS SO GOOD JUST WHY-

I can already tell that this is going to emotionally be everything I need thank you so much
