The Cadence of Part-time Poets

by Motswolo

“They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
“Rock and roll.”
He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
“Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”

After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.

Masterpiece. Remus feels like Remus, the complexity of Tonya, Tomny as a big brother to Remus, the friendships they made, even the most unexpected ones, how your family is not always the one you were born with, but the one you make for yourself. 10/10.

The tonya epilogue?? fucking masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!
the culture written in this is so insane and the fact that the author wrote whole ass rock songs, INSANE

[Daphnée Lafontaine · Rating 5 out of 5]

this has to be the best piece of literature i’ve read in my life. a masterpiece. the characters are all so well written, the best characterization of the marauders i’ve read so far. even the original characters were amazing, tonya, tomny, trish, simeon, lottie... i loved all of them. the slowburn was perfect, the romance between sirius and remus felt so real, their love was everything. the story was so good too, every chapter had me hooked. it made Me want to be a rock star too. 10000/10 so good

Someone tell me how I ended a 3,000 page book and my first thought was “where’s the rest of it?”
Everything about this fic is beautiful, even when it was way too chaotic for my poor heart to take. Sirius playing Cherry Bomb while Marlene warmed up for soccer is my favorite moment from possibly any marauders fic ever <333 ahghghhhhhg bury me w COPTP

that feeling when you read something literally life changing and it’s an almost one million words long wolfstar fan fiction (i need financial compensation after tonya’s epilogue) (and after reading this fic) (why are all of these characters so much like me)

i’m empty now

[r ꨄ︎]

i swore this was already on my tbr??

[Serena · Rating 5 out of 5]

absolutely beautiful gorgeous amazing

the writing of remus and the marauders over the series makes you feel like youre growing up step by step with them and are included in all their mischief and friendship :,)

and then coming to the end and seeing how much remus has changed and how much he’s learnt is such a bittersweet moment with many full circle call backs

though i love my wizard boys, this au was absolutely everything to me and i will be counting down the days until part 2

special mention: regulus black the man that you are
post note: MARLENE MCKINNON !!!

there has never been a marauders fanfiction that has not fundamentally changed me as a person and this is not an exception

[merodeadora · Rating 5 out of 5]

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Todavía estoy tratando de asimilar todo lo que este libro me ha hecho sentir... ¡¡¡Pero ha sido jodidamente maravilloso!!! Y la forma en la que ha logrado capturar las esencias de James, Peter, Sirius y Remus ha sido majestuosa.

De ahora en adelante se queda en el mismo pedestal que ATYD.

Y no voy a mentir, se hace larguísimo con sus +2.000 páginas, peeero cada una de ellas vale la pena y es la definición perfecta de un slow-burn bien hecho, qué bendición para la vista haber leído esto.

🫧🫧🫧Todo ha resonado en mí con una intensidad abrumadora. Me ha dejado con una crisis existencial, cuestionando mi identidad, mis relaciones y mi propósito. Siento que ha marcado un antes y un después en mi vida, como si algo dentro de mí se hubiera roto y reconstruido al mismo tiempo.

If it's published it's gonna a bestseller, that's my statement. This story is complex and simple in some ways, the characters are incredibly well-written. I sometimes experienced feeling in stories the same way the MC does, just because it's well written ; but here I was enraged at Lyall, I was confused and pained with Sheila and I admired James and Tomny, but what surprise me the most is that I actually fell in love with Sirius, Tonya, Tomny and was feeling weird stuff with Marlène, I was there, I WAS THERE like it was my own story, it's incredible. I could HEAR the music (not only thanks to mots' playlist). I could FEEL heartbreak over Lee and Tonya. I could feel dopamine and adrenaline with each concert. I was jealous, sad, angry, worried, curious just as Remus was. It's basically one of the best piece of fiction I read for that very reason and I feel so lucky to have had experienced it. I look forward on tcoptp part 2 with which I blindly trust the author. This story is full of rawness, authenticity, love, but really mostly it's about friendship first. Well it's about love. Love for your friends, love for music, love for yourself, love for making art, love for dreams. It's about belonging and it's about meeting people. It's about knowing what you want and making a statement out of it, even tho I'm sure those character will learn more about that in part 2. It's about growing up and understanding that issues you're having at 16 won't last. It's about founding family in more ways than one.

Almost one million words is wild but it was so good. My favourite parts were the OCs obviously like Tonya and Tomny are forever my favourites. I really enjoyed reading this fic although I felt like it could have definitely been a little shorter at times which is why it’s not 5 stars. I really liked the Marauders characterizations and how Peter is actually acknowledged because a lot of the time he’s disregarded. Remus Tomny and Tonya make me emotional I can’t even

[Jenny · Rating 5 out of 5]

But no matter how messy things got, Remus couldn't picture ever a world where he was never not completely gone for Sirius Black.

Holy fuck, I can die happy knowing i've read this masterpiece.
