Against the Moon is a strong story. It is focussed on the marauder years, with the main character and focus of the story being little Remus Lupin himself. A discovery styled Fan fiction, the discovery of friendship, where there was no hope for it, and how lifetime friendships grow.
I have enjoyed reading this story on many an occasion, although hard hitting, with incredibly powerful scenes of werewolf transformations, it has a gentle softness to it. Breaking the mould of most marauder stories, it does not ostracise Peter Pettigrew, but shows him as he was. The Peter Pettigrew created by J.K. Rowling and later expanded upon by Stoplight Delight, is not inherently evil, but shows the journey that created the Pettigrew we all love to hate now.
At a length of 639 thousand words, it might take you a few days, maybe weeks to read, but it is well worth the effort. Unfortunately unfinished at this time, it has such a compelling story, and impeccable writing that I would still recommend reading it.
Stoplight Delight herself has not chosen to stop writing the story, but has been forced to stop due to a illness that causes an in ability to write. The last few chapters that have been posted were written using voice recognition software, but the quality remained to a brilliant standard. Please join me in sending good thoughts and wishes to a speedy recovery.
Overall, Against the Moon is a great read, it shows how bonds were formed between the legendary marauders, the troubles that a young Remus Lupin goes through and their adventures through the Wonderful ...Wizarding... World of Harry Potter.

Can we petition for JK to read this awesome fic? And then tell us which parts could be canon?
ReplyDeleteBetter yet, why didn't they make a fan movie out of this rather than Snape? This is one of the most awesome things I've ever read.
