Berlin Angel
Berlin is absolutely miserable in February. Or it’s just Sirius.
Alternatively: A story of how Remus Lupin stepped into Sirius’ life, flashed his trademark grin, and reminded him that life is a beautiful thing meant to be enjoyed. No risk, no fun!

A good book, but not a good marauders fic, it was cool to learn about berlin and I loved the characters but they weren't Sirius and Remus. of course marauders characterization is entirely subjective and fandom based so this was just my opinion!

(would erase the smut, otherwise-) so thoughtfully beautiful and comforting !!

This was so sweet 😭 Wolfstar: Berlin edition- as a Berliner myself I quite enjoyed how the city was described, both for its quirkiness but also for the people and chances. The occasional German was surprisingly cute too.
At first I wasn’t sure if I liked this rather uncommon portrayal of Remus but honestly it really fits here and now I’m a little bit obsessed..-

OMG OMG GERMAN REMUS!!! i love this fanfic so much ahhh. If you're german and you havent read this fic, what are you doing? I loved how remus was more extroverted than sirius in this fanfic. I feel like there was very little james, lily, marlene, mary, dorcas and co but i honestly didnt miss them very much. I also loved the unexpected ship at the end of the book, i mean omggg. + i love regulus in this fic, he's a mood. but sirius' and remus' trauma destroyed me. read it rn if you havent yet.

Took me by surprise at first. I'm so used to reading Remus as a person who's got an old soul, addicted to cigarettes & chocolate & whos body aches all the time. So reading him as a bubbly, over sized kid who's a golden retriever caught me off guard. But never the less, I still adored this, as I will with anything Wolfstar. Also the smut...*chef's kiss*.

I just moved to Prague, it’s February, I’m a bit miserable. How fitting then that I should stumble upon this story. It was lovely, it was heartwarming, and it was relatable. Live laugh love wolfstar <3

this was very OOC, but overall adorable :)

All I can say is wow. All throughout this book the sound kept playing in my head “in every other universe Gwen Stacy falls for spider man. In every other universe, it doesn’t end well.” But instead it was “in every other universe Sirius black has some form of mental issues. And in every other universe i see myself in him.” It’s just so surreal seeing yourself reflected so clearly in someone’s patterns.
Of course, the fic was amazing. The characterisation was so good but gotta admit REALLY different from cannon or even fanon. Basically an oc. But I don’t think it makes a difference.
These wolfstar fics are tricking me into believing in love and that is NOT a good idea. At one point I stopped and was suddenly hit by the realisation that none of this is real but how much more real can it be? I relate to Sirius so much purely from the plot too. Moving away from your hometown, drowning in a new place, the leaving behind of siblings. It’s a bit jarring to be honest.
Safe to say none of this wonderful authors works are gonna go unread by me.

Loved it. Was really fun to read. Love how different sirius and remus are portrait in contrast to other storys. But it all made sense and the The development of Sirius was very nice to see. Also the progress of knowing them more and getting to their background made my heart break.

A wonderful little story that strikes a good balance between fluff, smut and drama. As such, I would give it four stars.
As Marauders fanfiction, however, it only gets one or two stars from me. The reason: the main characters - Remus and Sirius - are nothing like they are in canon. They have a wonderful connection and love story in the fanfiction, but you don't recognise them. For example, Remus is the happy-go-lucky character who is spontaneous and extroverted. These are all traits that I would have bought more from a Sirius character, but Sirius is stoic and depressed in this story, even though he thaws out quickly, of course. There are also a few Marauders characters in the story, but some of them only have their names and don't have much in common with the Canon or fandom characters.

I thought that I didn’t like the characterization at the beginning, then ended falling in love with them (over again, in every universe, at all times).
I loved reading about Berlin, loved seing Reggie meeting James in the end, loved watching Remus and Sirius playing at resolving James and Lily murder 😭
Such a beautiful story

fell in love with this book tbh. not what i expected when reading it and put it off for so long. the characters were very different to what i’m used to reading so it did take a lot of getting used to but my god was it one of the most wholesome and best stories i’ve ever read

“I don't want to be anywhere else right now.”
And I don't want to read anything else right now.
No sé cómo pero siempre supe que este fic iba a calar en mis huesos. Seguramente fue el nombre. La descripción. Algo. Algo grande pero invisible me hizo insistir en descargarlo mil millones de veces aunque el formato seguía impidiéndome leerlo. Creo que se lo supliqué al universo y me escuchó, “I love when things work out like that.”
Tenía la promesa de que amaría a Remus y amaría a Berlín, sí, _a_ Berlín, pero también amé a Sirius (siempre lo hago), amé los diálogos, amé incluso los pequeños detalles que hacían a los personajes ser quienes eran, amé todo, absolutamente todo. Mi corazón explotará en cualquier momento de solo pensar en cuánto amo esta historia.
Digo esto bastante seguido, pero ¿qué culpa tengo yo de que los fics wolfstar sean tan mágicos como sus protagonistas?: una de mis historias favoritas en la vida. Lo juro. Solemnemente.
Podría gastarme todo los caracteres citando mis frases favoritas pero me llevaría toda la vida, así que
Querido Berlin Angel: “You happened to me, I think I'm doing pretty well.”
Querido Remus fucking Lupin: “You're like a force of nature. I don't understand how you even exist.”
Querido queridísimo Sirius Black: “I wonder if you're even real or I've imagined you.”
Querido Berlín: “Fuck, I love you.”
Querida autora: Gracias, infinitas gracias por esto.
;
“Who are you, Remus Lupin?” he breathes.
Remus grins slowly. “Who are you, Sirius Black?”

oh wow, this was perfect. and life changing. what an emotional roller coaster!!!!
i wanna visit berlin now… and fall in love just like wolfstar…
i do agree with everyone saying this felt pretty OOC though… took me some time to get used to this version of remus. but in the end i don’t dislike it because both him and sirius were still very complex and layered. i still think that you could change the names & publish this as a YA novel and you wouldn’t recognise this as marauders fanfiction at all… but that’s ok! who cares! i think it’s one of the best and most unique things about this fandom, the fact we bend canon to our will and basically reclaimed these characters as our own, completely disregarding what that old bitter bigot could have orginally thought. this truly is the beauty of fandoms imo, so it’s always refreshing to see a new take on the marauders (even though it’s natural that our original reaction is confusion- we still have built some pretty solid personalities and headcannons for each character, which shouldn’t be disregarded alltogether either, it’s still important for the sense of attachment and comfort one generally seek in fan made works).
p.s : i also wish we could have gotten a bit more of james, lily and regulus.

3,5.
Me gustó, me ha hecho llorar un poquis. El final bonito y me cayeron bien todos, solo que me costaba ver esos hombres casi adultos actuar como de 21 pero bueno ese es el punto del libro o no? Ah. Siento que en mi vida leí tantos fanfics que ya llega un punto que te cansas leer tanto smut, o ya estoy vieja para estas cosas, boe.
Me gustó mucho leer esta historia lejos del mundo de hp, verlos con otra realidad y otros escenarios, obvio acercando un poco a lo que es la obra original. No me pareció una historia que ya haya leído antes por lo que me enganchaba seguir leyendo sin saber cuales podrían ser sus últimos movimientos. Es cómodo de leer y no tenes miedo de que la autora sea una enferma mental y decida, no sé, traumarte después de que todo esté de color de rosas

"Looking back, Sirius will determine without a sliver of a doubt, that this was the exact moment he stopped existing and started living again."
Beautiful story. Full of hope and eagerness to keep going. Sirius is in a really blue place when this story stars, and it's beautiful to see how Remus, the ray of sunshine he is, changes his whole perspective of life and just... gives him another chance to start again, to be someone else in Berlin and leave behind who he was in London. The whole message and feeling of this story are unmatchable. Just magical. Even when there was tecnically no magic to it.

oh I loved this AU.
I totally understand how a Sirius who has been neglected but not necessarily tortured, didn't actually left his toxic home until much later.
and a Remus who is not a discriminated werewolf gets that absence of oppression reflected so clearly (although almost to the ooc extreme) in his personality.
and a clever and healthy regulus.
I love how this fic understands so well how growing up and social circumstances are so important in building a person.
I love them with all backgrounds

"Wer nicht wagt, der nicht gewinnt"
This is the last book i'm reading on 2022 and i just have to say that it not only lived up to the expectations but surpassed them all, such a wonderful love story that gives you goosebumps but also makes you think about many things that happen in life that maybe arent as great as love is but as sirius said, shit happens. I think love's the greatest power on earth and this fic is the absolute best example of that

…i need this to be traditionally published and given a movie or tv show adaptation.holy shit. This was so poignant and thought provoking and well written ? And genuinely helped me through how shitty of a time I’ve been having recently ?? I truly think that this book of, essentially just fictional character studies, has imparted me with nuggets of comfort and wisdom that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
