A very incomplete list of Hazbin Hotel Fanfiction Authors/Geniuses

I cannot believe the awsome, talented, absolute magnificent people I've met through this fandom. Writing FF for Hazbin Hotel has become one of my greatest joys in life, and reading the stories and creations of my fellow friends and idols is something that can brighten my whole week - and we don't gatekeep. So, if you're in search for a good read, here are a few of the SUPER AWSOME people I stalk (and I want to stress - this list is never going to be complete, but I'll try to edit it as there are just SO MANY GODDANG MASTERS out there!) @bapple117 If you love #RadioStatic, you have to read 'Bluest Monday' (completed) and the follow-up 'Say Hello, Wave Goodbye' (WIP) She'll break your heart in the most beautiful way. If you don't fancy that but Alastor is your go-to, then you will want to dive in head-first into "If You Can't Say Somethin' Nice, Don't Say Nothin' At All" (complete). But as before, be ready for a rollercoaster of emotional moments and extremely spicy shenanigans.

@hazelfoureyes Goddess of the smut, Hottest writer in Hell - If you're horny, Hazel has got you covered. Especially her 'The safeword is Radioapple'-Mini-series will make you sweat like a Zumba-Instructor on crack. Be prepared to blush, tremble, die and immediately ressurrect, because yes. She is THAT good.

Clover/corruptedteacups on AO3 With whooping 75 chapters and 300k+ hits, her Fanfic 'The Red means I Love you' is one of the best, most detailed slow-burn-pining-angsty-smutty-will-they-wont-they Masterpieces I've read so far. Alastor is magnificent and I guarantee you'll fall in love with Clover, the bunny who captures the heart of you deerest red demon.

@melodyonthewireless Highly underappreciated (imho), her fic "A Match made in Hell" (WIP) follows her OC Sybil down to hell, into the Hazbin Hotel and consecutively the arms of Alastor - but don't you dare underestimate the pink, harmless looking doe. Sybil's witch powers and her sassy, witty personality is quite the match to the established readio overlord. It's such a read, and the wait between chapters the sweetest agony!

@macabr3-barbi3 She delivers every. single. TIME. Her Short stories and One-Shots are like Pringles - Once you pop, you can't stop. I'm deeply in love with 'Dream a little Dream' (WIP), 'Nothing I can't Handle' (WIP) makes me run for a cold shower and did I mention the countless one-shot-candies that make you mouth water and your toes curl?

@slutforalastor/InconspicuousBosch on AO3 Whether it's the One-Shots on tumblr (omg the PRIEST ALASTOR BIT *fans face*) or the incredible Choose-your-Path-Fic "Say it with a smile" (completed) - you will be both amazed at the artistry of the wording and storybuilding and blushing at the sheer craft of the smut and sexual tension.

@impale-me-radio-daddy Founder of the kink #antlerplay, his series of 'The Lookalike' is steamy, outrageous, utterly magnificent and filthy down to the bones. Be prepared for some serious questioning of your own preferences, because you WILL get some epiphanies. And that's a PROMISE.

@hurthermore Listen. LISTEN. Bimbo is the mini-series that had me on a friggin CHOKEHOLD. It takes a special talent to make one so invested in THE radio demon, gentleman a la carte Alastor believably pining after and pounding a lovable, dumb airhead sinner with a fable for skimpy dresses and leave you at the end wanting for seconds and thirds!

As I said, this is a highly incomplete list, and I'll absolutely edit this list as I go. But I needed to put this out in the world. To all of the above, and all of those which I didn't include YET but most certainly will -

I ADORE YOU, I PRAY AT YOUR FEET, YOU ARE AMAZING BEINGS AND I LOVE YOU.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

[chronically-ghosted]

Okay, everybody who had a weird year, raise their hands? Oh, that's everyone? Damn, it's worse than I thought . . .

Looking back on this year both in fandom and in my personal life, there have been some truly fantastic memories made, but there are some unfortunate dark spots. I don't know what's coming next year - good or bad - but I do know we're only going to get through life if we stick together, share some love, and celebrate this special online community.

So let's start today! ❄️ From now until January 1st, please send asks with any of the following ❄️

☃️ your favorite line of fic that you wrote this year - what fic is it from? why is it your favorite? (please share the link to the fic as well!)

🌨️ your favorite memory from fandom this year - did you meet someone new and instantly clicked? did you finally finish your 300K slowburn that has been plaguing you for months? did you see a new pedro movie that you've decided to make your whole new personality?

🌲 your favorite piece of media you made for fandom this year - is it fanart? is it a playlist? Is it a moodboard? Why is it special to you? (please share the link to the artpiece as well!)

🥶 nominate a person who made the year extra special - did you bond over the brainrot with someone special? was this person an outstanding member of the fandom? did someone become a prolific fic writer out of the blue and you wanna show them some love?

🦌 anything else that made you happy over the year - did you get a comment that made your heart really happy? did you order a new pedro pascal item and now it's hanging in a place of prominence in your house? tell me about it!

Then on the first week of January, I'll make a big giant masterpost with everyone's messages! You are more than welcome to submit any of these as anon, so please join in even if you're shy!

To borrow from one of Pedro's early roles, the night is dark and full of terrors. That much is obvious, but rarely the other half of the quote is remembered the same way: "the day bright and beautiful and full of hope." So let's be bright and beautiful and remember to hope.

Happy Holidays everyone!

my favorite mm fandom thing is seeing which completely random side character each person decides is their special little guy. over here we have the person who has drawn nothing but fireman for the past six years, and there's the flame hyenard guy, and if you look over there you'll see the one who has a 300k fanfiction about their extremely specific au where dynamo and signas run an intergalactic mercenary business.

For the past 4 years, I’ve written a 300k+ word novel called “I Do Bad Things with You,” and to celebrate its ending, I wanted to have a very special artwork that I could use as the cover of this fic (because yes, I will be getting this bound). There’s nobody else that could’ve brought this idea to life for me. I’m so incredibly thankful to Katie for taking on this commission. It is truly so beautiful and I honestly cannot stop looking at all the details she was able to put in for me.

Thank you, Katie, for your expertise, your gorgeous work, and your friendship in creating this magical piece. 💖

You can read the entire fic, plus the prequels, here. 🌹🦇

Got into Hermitcraft when I developed a Special Interest in Grian halfway thru season 8 and binged his whole Hermitcraft series. During the HCBBS in season 7 I watched the one or two videos of Zedaph working in Grian's base. Now several years later I am working my way through Zedaph's whole Hermitcraft series (much slower because not a Special Interest) and I have just reached the HCBBS from Zedaph's perspective and am viewing it as a Zedaph fan instead of a Grian fan. It's like a weird warped nostalgia, seeing it from the opposite point of view and remembering back to that time when I was watching Grian's. Just interesting.

Side note: Zedaph is so unbelievably underrated. Why does this guy only have 300k subscribers. This is criminal.

reverberating ruin

blade, seele, jing yuan, yanqing, dan heng (normal and imbibitor lunae separately), kafka x gn!reader

summary: how they react when you praise them after hitting high numbers of damage.

cw: self-aware au, just a short headcanon post

enyo's note: featuring my previous or current favorite dps characters. title is the achievement unlocked when you hit 300k damage. my dan heng favorism might show in this? tagging @hiraethsdesires <3

content under the cut | masterlist

blade

it was in a boss battle that blade suddenly struck the highest number you'd ever seen from him. as you yelped in surprise, he just looked at you weirdly, as if to ask, what's the matter?

you point at the screen, which adds to his confusion only more. did he do something wrong? he couldn't imagine; he served you as he was supposed to do as your main dps.

"bladie!" you exclaimed. "you– that was insane!"

insane? what was insane?

you gushed, "i thought this damage only existed in streamers' videos. you're the best!"

he would never admit it, but his immortal heart fluttered a little when your words of praise landed upon his ears.

"i just did what i'm supposed to do," blade huffed as he folded his arms and averted his gaze away from the screen.

he tried so hard to act unaffected but your words do something to him. his mindset is void of any positivity, so the feeling is quite foreign to blade. it had been ages since he last experienced something like that.

please praise this man more often!

seele

it was just a normal battle in the overworld. nothing special, no special buffs or whatsoever. as your opponents gathered afore you on the screen. seele pariently awaited her turn before she dashed off with her insanely fast attacks.

merely a single strike, but a huge number flew across the screen. your jaw dropped and you squeaked her name in delight. seele shot you a sideways glance but continued battle, and only when every foe is down, she asked you about it.

"you did a massive amount of damage!" you gleefully told her. "i'm so proud of you, seele!"

her purple gaze widened upon your words, and she opened her mouth to say something but words didn't come out; you severely caught her off-guard with your praise.

"it's nothing," she sputtered. "it's just my duty."

she actually got shy, not something that occured a lot.

acted indifferent but was quite happy with your praise.

jing yuan

in a boss battle, he was playfully showing off without making it known to you – but yes, occasionally he liked to show off just for you because he enjoyed the way you gushed over him.

accompanied by the lightning lord, he caused a huge number to fly across the screen, making you gasp in awe.

"aeons, jing yuan," you said. "you're so strong."

he put up a humble act, hiding his smile because he knew he was strong. regardless, he loved being told so by you, which is why he tried a little harder sometimes.

"only for you," he shot you a playful wink.

continued battle even more fiercely, and while he was fully aware of the high numbers he hit, he loved to hear you praise him for it.

it was kind of like a game to him.

getting praise as he effortlessly hit numbers with more digits than you were used to. what more could he wish for? notice the satisfied smile the sleepy general wore as he fought your battles.

yanqing

the boy always tried so hard for you, never satisfied with his peformance. always eager for battle, only to be disappointed with himself when he deemed his damage unworthy.

so when you suddenly let out a squeal after he one-shot an opponent he haltsled his movements mid-battle. he gazed at you through the screen curiously.

"what?" he asked.

"yanqing!" you giggled. "did you see that?"

"see what?" he inquired, not quite getting it.

"that was a bizarre hit! you literally one-shot that dude," you chimed. "thank you, you're amazing!"

"i–" the boy began, cheeks flushing red. "it's uh, it's nothing. i'm just fulfilling my duty."

"that doesn't make it any less cool," you countered. "i'm proud of you, yanqingie. you did well."

aeons, he was so happy, but tried to play it off coolly. but after your words of praise, he tried even harder and harder, now with newfound motivation.

please praise him more often, so that he could finally feel proud of himself as well!

dan heng

honestly, you weren't sure what to expect from a free character. that couldn't be too good, right?

but dan heng proved the opposite multiple times already with numbers that reached higher and higher.

until he suddenly hit a number so high that it had you yelp in surprise upon seeing it fly across your screen; was dan heng really capable of hitting such numbers? well, apparently he was, and you were delighted.

"dan heng!" you exclaimed. "did you see that?"

"i did," he calmly replied. "what's the matter?"

"that was an insane number!" you explained. "aeons, you're amazing."

at this point dan heng's cheeks flushed a little bit, but he tried to hide it. "it's simply because you gave me a good build."

you tried to praise him, but he turned it right back towards you. that wasn't part of the plan? you got a little flustered as well.

"i just got lucky while farming for relics," you shrugged it off. secretly you just put in a lot of extra effort because you liked him, but that was your little secret.

dan heng (imbibitor lunae)

you had been pre-farming for him for quite a while, mainly to have good relics ready for him. you managed to create a build you were quite proud of and as soon as he came home, you equipped them.

beforehand you had heard great things about imbibitor lunae, and you were eager to see him in action now that he was built and leveled.

well, he instantly hit amazing numbers right off the bat and it left you speechless. you simply squealed in pure glee because ??? you just got him and he already outdid all your previous dps characters in terms of damage.

"oh my god, you're awesome," you impulsively chimed with a little too much enthusiasm. you clasped your hands over your mouth but dan heng offered you a faint smile, amused by your happiness.

"i merely do what you expect me to do," he explained. "i don't deserve your words of praise, but i am grateful regardless."

"as long as you know that i'm super happy with you," you told him with a smile. "you're a gamechanger."

you already loved dan heng in his normal form, but in his vidhadyara form he was even more amazing – you instantly had a new favorite dps, and you would make sure that he knew how happy you were with him.

kafka

when you pulled for her, you never expected her to take on the role of a dps. but from the start she hit quite some large numbers, while you thought of her as only a debuffer.

well, jokes on you, this lady is strong.

equipped with both a gun and a sword, she took down opponents with ease, and you can't help but gush over every defeat. and she knew how you reacted, shooting you a coy grin often.

you didn't even have to voice your praise; it was all over your face, your entire demeanor. and it spurred her on to do even more damage.

"you're so–" you began, but she cut you off with a smile.

"i know, darling," she said coyly. "you simply make me want to my best. you're adorable, after all."

you tried to praise her, but she threw it right back at you and you ended up being quite flustered. but secretly she loved it when you spoke so highly of her.

it went so effortlessly. and aeons, did she look good while fighting. numbers flew across the screen, leaving you stunned. well, that's kafka for you.

[profoundbondfanfic]

Do you have any recs for Reallyyy long fics? Like 200-300k+ words? That isn't 91W... avoiding that one because I feel like it will hurt me... preferably fix-its? Oh and no a/b/o pls :) thanksss

Here are a few:

Angel's Wild by riseofthefallenone (Explicit, 389k words)

But that’s the whole reason he’s here, isn’t it? He’s not out here hunting Humans. He’s not even hunting deer, or bears, or anything else that featured in Bambi. He’s out here, freezing his nuts off every night, because he’s hunting Angels. Sometimes Dean wishes that Angels were like how they’re described in the Bible. How people from time too old for him to care much about thought Angels were messengers and warriors of God, protectors of Humans. He knows that how they’re really described in the Bible is actually pretty terrifying, but at least they were told by God that they’re supposed to love Humans, right? That’s a thousand times better than what Angels really turned out to be.

Bitch Better Have My Money by Duckyboos (Explicit, 256k words)

How Dean Winchester - mechanic, shitty cook, single father - became the power behind the throne in one of the biggest crime syndicates in the Midwest.

Computer Safety Verse by followthattardis (Explicit, 232k words)

On the day of his 29th birthday, Dean receives an email from his old nemesis: Michael Milton, the guy who got him kicked out of college and stole his girlfriend. The email contains encoded images with top secret CIA/NSA intelligence – and now their only copy is in Dean’s brain. Both agencies send their best operatives – Castiel Novak and Victor Henriksen respectively – to handle their accidental asset and protect the invaluable data in his head. To justify their sudden appearance in Dean’s life, they adopt covers: Victor as Dean’s new co-worker and neighbor, Cas as his new boyfriend. Needless to say, Dean’s brother and his girlfriend are thrilled to see him in a relationship they believe to be real. Clearly, there’s no way this could go wrong.

Four Letter Word For Intercourse by bendingsignpost (Explicit, 228k words)

As a grease monkey turned college freshman, Dean's constantly three seconds away from being stressed out of his mind. It hardly helps that he's finally figuring out his sexuality in his thirties. What might help with that stress is a little phone number (and a big credit card bill). If he can't figure out how to be bisexual in person, he can at least give it a go over the phone, right? (It's probably a bad idea, but he really can't help himself.)

Light me up by tricia_16 (Explicit, 218k words)

Five years after participating in a life-changing threesome with his then-girlfriend and her friend Cas, Dean's single, comfortably bisexual, and has everything he's ever wanted except for that special someone to share his life with. When tragedy strikes, he and Cas are reunited in an unexpected way, and a split-second decision entangles their lives in ways neither of them could have predicted…

Not Part of the Plan by Annie D (scaramouche) (Explicit, 337k words)

Castiel's spent most of his adult life keeping his head down and staying out of trouble. This is a deliberate choice on his part, because as a cousin of the King, he'd rather stay unimportant and forgotten. This changes abruptly when King Michael decides that he has a better use for Castiel: he is to be wed to a noble member of the neighboring Republic, as part of an agreement between their two nations. Castiel knows he has to obey, but that doesn't mean he won't rebel in what small ways he can. Unexpectedly, his actions end up having far-reaching consequences.

one million fires burning by dothraki_shieldmaiden (Explicit, 248k words)

Dean Winchester teaches three classes a day, tutors after school, and chairs the English Department for Lawrence High School. He does enough. Unfortunately, his boss doesn't feel the same and informs him that he has a new job: co-coaching the school's trivia team. His co-coach? None other than the school's golden boy, Castiel Milton. Who Dean can't stand, for various reasons, all of which are valid, thank you very much. And the fact that Dean can't stop talking about the stick up Cas's, sorry, Milton's ass? Completely irrelevant.

Redux by emmbrancsxx0 (Explicit, 386k words)

Dean Winchester is dead. For decades, he, along with Castiel and Sam, has led a peaceful afterlife in heaven. He has everything he’s ever wanted: a home, his family and friends surrounding him, and a relationship with Cas—and he’s bored as hell. Until, one day, Chuck escapes heaven’s lock up and begins capturing souls to regain power. To stop him, Jack sends Dean, Cas, and Sam back to Earth. After so long away from hunting, will they be able to once again find their place in the family business?

Talk Some Sense To Me (Kenopsia) by ImYourHoneyBee (Explicit, 244k words)

Scrambling to his knees Castiel hugs back, burying his face in Dean’s neck, breath coming in fast little pants against his skin. Dean closes his eyes and just breathes him in, barely able to believe that this is real. At any other time in his life, closing his eyes against a threat like Death would be an inexcusable lapse in his hunter’s judgement. Right now, he doesn’t give a single fuck. Death can reap him for all he cares, he’ll die knowing Cas is going to be ok. Alive. “I will see you soon, Dean,” Death tells him, that deliberate voice of his soft enough not to intrude on the intimacy of the moment, “Raincheck on that grilled cheese.” “Thank you,” Dean croaks, propping his chin up on Cas’s shoulder, unmindful of the tears trickling down his cheeks, “Thank you.”

The Closest Thing We Have To Magic by EllenOfOz, TrenchcoatBaby (Explicit, 221k words)

Dean Winchester is a graduate student at Stanford University’s School of the Occult. A naturally-talented mage but a lazy professor and student, he figures he’ll coast through his final year the way he always has: with charisma, charm, and a natural aptitude for magic. All that changes when his thesis advisor, Dr. Castiel Novak, turns out to be the strictest and most challenging educator on-campus. Unfortunately for Dean, the uptight professor is nearly his age and infuriatingly gorgeous. But Castiel is keeping a secret, a powerful talent that’s more a curse than a blessing when he’s targeted by seditious parts of magical society. Can Dean and Cas put aside their animosity—and undeniable chemistry—long enough to instill real change in the magical community? Or will sinister plots and hidden agendas keep them apart?

To Build a Home by intothesilentland (Mature, 383k words)

Twenty-three years of head-over-heels, devastating devotion and love, love, love for the man with bright eyes and dark hair. Fourteen years of friends, best friends, of always together. One moment of rejection. Nine years of apart. Nine years of heartbreak, nine years of continents away, of not speaking, of no acknowledgement, no interaction, no closure, no peace. No happiness. Nine years of Dean’s life entering motions, going through them, constant, cold and mechanic, like clockwork. Nine years of alone. God. Nine years. A lot has changed. And yet Dean still loves Cas just the same. Even if his heart hurts all kinds of different.

Under The Midnight Sun by NorthernSparrow (Explicit, 232k words)

Dean Winchester’s been camp manager of a science research station on the Alaskan tundra for thirteen years. Dean likes his job; fixing the camp trucks, troubleshooting the generators, keeping clueless undergrads and NSF bigwigs from walking into grizzly bears or getting lost in snowstorms — it’s all in a day’s work. It keeps him pretty busy, and this year his brother Sam's visiting too, so he's even busier. So it’s really not any of Dean’s business when some weirdo antisocial ornithologist sets up a tent a few miles away, a dark-haired blue-eyed guy who’s doing a “very long-term" study on birds or wings or something, and who never, ever takes off his big lumpy backpack. But then the new guy starts dropping by camp for coffee and… well, he’s not officially part of camp; he's not Dean’s responsibility; he’s really not Dean’s problem at all, but when a strange blizzard comes sweeping in, Dean gets worried and goes to check. Thing is, Dean's spent years in the sweeping vistas of the Arctic. He knows all about the midnight sun and the northern lights, the ice caves and avalanches, the rough-and-ready Haul Road truckers and the even rougher-and-readier wild animals. But even so, what he finds is much more than he bargained for.

With Interest by everandanon (Explicit, 296k words)

Eighteen, bored, and not quite able to turn down the money, Cas agrees to an ill-advised bet, and Dean's heart isn't the only one that gets broken. Eleven years later, grieving his twin brother and struggling to take care of his niece, Cas finally returns home — only to meet Dean again and discover that the boy he left behind has grown up a lot. And now, Dean seems to have every intention of getting him back — with interest.

AO3 Ask Game

Thanks @missunderstoodlyrics for the tag and @cheeseplants for the game! What a fun way to round out a crazy year for so many of us!

In 2024 I wrote around 200k for the Good Omens Fandom. My total word count for the fandom is a little under 292k but some of that happened at the end of last year. Still a crazy number to stare at. And I have every intention of surpassing 300k before we enter 2025!

So I've only published two longfics, so those are my top🤣:

The Last Angel - AU where Crowley and Aziraphale were never assigned to Earth and Hell wins the war

Time Marches Forward - My post Season 2/Second Coming story

While I feel incredibly accomplished and humbled by my ability to complete two novel-length fictions in the span of 12 months, what I've been most proud of is this community and the friendships I've made. Be it commenting on someone's meta. engaging with an author about their fic, messaging folks on here directly or even chats via discord, it's the community that makes this fandom so special. I am so grateful I leaned in here more than I ever have in any other online community to meet all of you.

A goal I have for 2025 is a true collaboration, I have a bit of a marinating idea that I may hit up one or two folks on the tag list below to discuss😉

Re fics I love, there are too many to list. I've published a few fic roundups that include some of the recent reads, but there are so many amazing resources out there that anyone can turn to for guidance. I will say, and it may be a bit of a cliché, but my all time favorite is this one.

No pressure tag time:

@addledmongoose, @di-42, @ochre-sunflower, @itsscottiesstark, @lavendermoonlitskies, @captainblou , @elenthyaolyenths , @eybefioro , @knifeforkspooncup

Also expanding the tag list to include the self-appointed Good Omens Poet Laureate @lickthecowhappy to the list to add a different angle. The poets in this fandom have been pumping out serious bangers this year as well!

[gingergofastboatsmojito]

Michael died so The Bear could exist

I don't know the date of this sheet but The Beef was broke, it was operating at a loss and that's important because that means Michael lied to Richie.

The Bear | System | 01x01

They hadn't been having money problems for 2 weeks, like Richie said in S1, it was way longer than that, obviously. And not only that, Mikey hadn't told Richie where he kept the 300K either.

Why all those secrets with his BFF who was like a brother to him, his ride or die?

Mikey didn't even leave a note for him either, the only note he left was for Carmy. He left the restaurant to Carmy, the instructions for him to find the money, and left Richie completely out of it.

WHY?

Because he knew that if Richie had access to that money he wasn't going to change a thing, he wasn't going to turn things around, he was gonna keep the status quo and probably go out of business shortly after his death. And also to protect him, he didn't want Richie to know how fucked up they were financially, he had a daughter to provide for, so it was a way to protect him in a sense. Ignorance is bliss.

He bet all on The Bear, because The Beef was a hopeless case and Richie was not gonna let go of The Beef. Michael knew Richie well.

Also because:

Michael Berzatto is immortal.

Michael died so The Bear could exist.

How does all that affect Sydcarmy now?

Back in S1, when she was cocky and furious and telling Richie to learn to use the tablet while she, herself, let the preorder option open, Sydney got it wrong, though. She thought it was just a business:

Now, in S3, she realized it's not about that at all:

So Michael was right:

It's about the people and the special moments of your life because the special moments of your life mean nothing if you have no special people to share them with.

The Bear brings people together

lately i’ve been seeing a lot of criticism of fanon remus’s characterization, specifically in all the young dudes and after it blew up. like, specifically, that he was too mean and angry and masculine, or that he got a lot of sirius’s canon traits (smart, likeable, mean, etc.). when people read atyd, did they not think remus was pathetic? because i always thought he was a little loser-y. pulling up to the train with his new docs that he bought with his drug money, but the matron shaved his head? yeah he’s fourteen he probably looks kinda stupid unfortunately. “he’d never sell/do drugs” it’s the 70s. also if you think a fourteen/fifteen year old selling drugs to buy his friends christmas presents is “bad ass” or makes him tough, who are you. that’s sad. it’s so sad, there were no adults in his life that loved him and prevented him from getting caught up in that. atyd remus always felt like he had nothing going for him. he thought sirius was into him and not james just because remus “let him” and didn’t even consider the possibility that sirius could like him back. that’s! sad! remus had some wins post summer 1977, but after a whole 300k or so words of being an outcast thinking he was unworthy of friendship or love.

and you don’t have to like atyd. i love it, it got me into the fandom, so it will always have a special place in my heart. but if it’s not for you that’s okay! so many people treat it like it’s this canon bible but it’s not. everyone is into different stuff. i just think people missed the point with remus a little bit… his characterization in atyd to me is really beautiful because i think it’s fleshed out and realistic given what canonically happened to the marauders. but you can disagree, and you don’t have to like it.
