The Moon Divides by Potter
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: COMPLETE!
(AU Fic) Two twins named Remus and Rachael Lupin have been inseperable for the eight years they've been on this Earth. But one fateful trip into the forest has changed all of that.
Excerpt from Chapter Twenty Three - A Second Chance
Professor Lupin walked over and sat down at the foot of his daughter’s bed.
“How are you?” he asked, watching his daughter carefully.
“Fine,” she answered, although she could have been better.
“How could you-,”
“Please dad,” Rachael cut him off. “Sirius already gave me the ‘how could you’ lecture.” Professor Lupin smiled.
“Did he now?”
“Yes and he got through to me pretty well.”
“Good, I just hope you know never to do something like that again.”
“I’m not going to, Mum’s not worth it.” Professor Lupin clicked his tongue.
“You can’t say that,” he said quietly, getting up and heading for the door. “Everyone deserves a chance to change. Just as you tried to prove that to your mother, one day she’s going to prove it to you. Everyone deserves a second chance.”
*Warning, some mental abuse and later a little physical, nothing terribly bad, just a warning*
Nominated for 2006, 2008, 2009 Quicksilver Quill Award - Best Dark/Angsty Fic
Date: 06/28/06 Title: Chapter 1: That Fateful Day
Your fic seems very good so far! Of course, this is only the first chapter, but I'll definetely continue after I leave this review. There were a couple of simple errors that I found:
For the past hour they had been hearing low frequency growls coming from behind them, getting closer and closer with every step the two twins took.
I don't think it's necessary to mention that it had been an hour twice as you already told us that in the very beginning before this.
Remus would look behind them once in a while to check if anything was behind them, but each time he simply saw the vast forest that seemed to never end.
I put in a coma and exchanged 'just' for 'simply'.
Right in front of them was a fully-grown black, piercing eyed werewolf! It was hunched forward, baring its fangs at the two kids, foam growing in the corners of it's mouth… staring with his yellow eyes into the twins’ green ones. It inched forward, looking at them hungrily. The two backed up gradually, not daring to look away from the wolf.
There were just a couple of grammar issues in this bit. I only added a few comas or so in there.
She turned around and ran along side him through the forest, dodging tree trunks, hopping over the roots protruding from the grounds, and avoiding the squirrels running across the floor.
Once again, just a couple of comas and things. I reworded it a just a tad so it would make a bit more sense.
The two dashed down a slope, knowing the wolf was still on their trail.
Just reworded this slightly :)
The mother seems kind of OOC from going from "Rachael, sweety?" to "Don't you lie to me!" Her daughter wasn't exactly in the best condition. I figured she would have been a lot sweeter to her and wait until Remus woke up on his own or wait until Rachael was ready to tell her. Just my opinion.
Your fic was very unique! I liked it a lot and can't wait to read more. The only thing with this chapter is the ... you have after a lot of parts. Those can easily be fixed by replacing them with comas :) Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Wow I had bad grammar when I wrote this. But I took your corrections and fixed it up. And Mrs. Lupin wasn\'t out of character, you\'ll see why in the later chapters.
Through the Fire by Croyez
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: It all starts out with a meeting. Little do Harry and Hermione know what problems and dilemmas will surface along with their secret relationship. Hearts are shattered, prophecies are spoken, disappearances occur, dark plans are schemed, and discoveries beyond their understanding are made. Can their relationship withstand the perils it is subject to? Will their fate and worries stand in the way of true love? They can only hope not…
He didn’t notice it when his hand began loosening its grip on the edge. He didn’t notice it until he began to fall to the ground, but as soon as he did, he pointed his wand at Voldemort. He felt seventeen years of suffering, seventeen years of mystery and trials…he felt hatred like he had never experienced before, pouring out of him. He felt every single thing that had happened to him on Voldemort’s account, rising to the surface, almost drowning him in a mix of emotions.
And then, he yelled, with all his might, “Avada Kedavra!”
He wished for it all to end…for it to be over…
The Last Chapter (Twenty) is up on [July/12] Thank you so much, Stephanie!
H/Hr, and Book 1-5!Hermione! will only sink when there are none loyal to them. So there.

Born the Day You Kissed Me by CLee
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: I was born the day you kissed me...I died inside the night you left me...But oh how I lived while you loved me. . . .
The sequel Agapanthus is up!
Date: 03/06/06 Title: Chapter 24: Black
I'm just about in tears. That was...oh my god. Your story was AMAZING but...you made him forget it all!! Nooo! =( *cries* PLEASE hurry with that sequal
Summary: A different sort of alternate universe... It is a world under the thumb of an ancient emperor. Muggle society has been oppressed beyond recognition. Wizards rule over all, their only laws defined by power. This is the story of a rebellion, a family, a traitor, and the long road that leads home at last.
Date: 11/26/06 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue
Eeeep! Bridget! How could I have never read this before now?! This was so great! Ahh, I'm just so excited with it.
So, I'm not normally one to fan over AU's, but this is really one that I know I can believe. You seem to know exactly what you're doing here, something that is obviously necessary to write a good AU fic.
There was only one little bit that I noticed, where Tina is speaking to James:
"Does it matter what we riled up? We got the goods, Commander. I told you I was the woman for this mission, Sir,"
The only thing that got me here was that she is refering to him twice both as 'Commander' and 'Sir'. This is just my preferance, but it seems to sound a bit off. I'm not sure you really need the 'Sir' in there, but it's definitely fine to keep it.
The only grammatical error I caught was this:
Turning the young man nodded quickly.
I think there should be a comma between 'Turning' and 'the'.
I love the way you show Lily here as she thinks that her children may be dead. She's got that real mother aspect that any woman with children would have in that sort of situation.
Great work, Bridget! This is an awesome story so far.
Author's Response: My beta is a comma minimalist and I\'m a comma maniac. I shouldn\'t put commas in. I can\'t stop. *giggles*
Thanks for the fabulous, kind review.
MOMENTS OF BLISS by moonymaniac
Rated: 6th-7th Years •Summary: Remus Lupin is a man with a tragic past, filled with pain, suffering and sorrow. But it is also a past filled with great adventure, true friendship and…love? Even though the odds were against him, Remus found happiness at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He had the Marauders, he was a prefect and his transformations were less horrible, thanks to his Animagi friends. What more could a teenage werewolf want? And how long could his happiness last? Remus and the Marauders prove that in the saddest of lives and darkest of times, there can still be moments of bliss.
Remus centric but with a lot of the other Marauders. This story is a romance, but has almost as much general Marauder era background and side story as romance.
Pre-HBP and DH, so some things from DH will be disregarded, as the warning indicates, but some Spoilers will be incorporated.
Date: 08/02/07 Title: Chapter 1: Prologue: Notes on a Life
Oh my gosh, how have I not reviewed this?! I remember reading it ages ago and just came across it again tonight! Well, I'm going to give this story the justice it deserves with a SPEW review. :)
First off, I absolutely love the idea of the journal. It's such a great way to start off the story and give the precise details that only a mother can give. It did the job, and it did it well.
I also like the way you have Mrs. Lupin being as descriptive as she is. It gives the reader a clear mental image of what is going on and it is very helpful indeed to imagine what is happening and when.
I wish I could find a criticism to point out here, but in all honesty, I can't. It's not necessarily a bad thing, (actually it's a really good thing, it shows that you're writing style is wonderful) but it kind of makes this review a bit pointless on my part ;) haha!
You did a really great job. I love your story and can't wait to refresh my memory and continue reading!
Author's Response: Thank you, HPLoverForever! I\'m so glad you came across it again and *loves getting SPEW review* :D I\'m so glad you enjoyed the journal. I have to admit, it was the lazy way out for me, but I did find that it made it possible to present things I felt were important in a more concise way than I normally manage, *blush* so I\'m glad it worked for you. No criticism...lol, keep reading. ;*) But I don\'t think this is at all pointless. I need all the encouragement I can get. ;) I really appreciate it.

Wow, this is a really great story! I like it. Not to sound too cliche, but it sort of seems like Miss Congeniality 2. Haha, working undercover! Anyways, PLEASE review! This is really getting good!

A New Definition of Family by RahNee
Rated: •Summary: A new person comes into Harry's life; one who has ties to his parents, and to his enemies. The story starts in the summer after 3rd year and becomes AU (but just barely) at that point. Pairings: SBOC, a smattering of HPHG, some RLNT later on...
Hungry for GOOD fan fiction? Give this story a try! It will satisfy the avid fan fiction reader's most voracious appetite. It is chock full of the basic fan fiction food groups: It's got drama, romance, angst, snarky banter, mystery, Quidditch, humor, new love, old love rekindled, introspection, action...
So go on, sample a little bit... I KNOW you won't walk away feeling empty!
Date: 02/26/07 Title: Chapter 1: Upward Bound
Wow. What a wonderful chapter. I am being completely honest when I say that I am blown away. Your usage of vocabulary is very good, and I am one who believes that a good vocabulary makes the story just that much better.
You have a very strong sense of imagery. In my mind I could easily see what was happening, something that is always very important.
I really like how you've got Harry characterized. It shows him in his true light: someone who is cautious, yet willing to play along. Many stories have Harry exploding immediately and have him acting as this little boy who throws a temper tantrum every five minutes, you know
I also like your OC. She's a very good actress and I like her character so far!
Wonderful job! I can't wait to keep reading. :)
A Few Detentions and A Story by LaneTechFreshie
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: James Potter: Marauder. Lily Evans: Prefect. They're both seventh years at Hogwarts. They're also about to have a pretty interesting year--complete with a few detentions, pranks, confusion, and laughter--in which they get through school, make some trouble and maybe, just maybe, sort out their feelings for each other.
Thanks to all you who have made it possible for this story to be in the Top Tens. It was a very happy moment when I first saw my story on the list, and I love being able to go back and see it there now. Still. Yay!
Throughout the latter half of 2010, and the first half of 2011, I re-edited this story. The changes were mostly to fix stray (and annoying) grammar and spelling errors, but also to rework some plot points in an effort to stay truer to canon. I also updated the style; having written this story so long ago, my writing has definitely developed (and I would say gotten better), so I edited to reflect that. (I apologize for the errors that were in the story before all this editing. I found them immensely distressing when I reread my chapters. Heartbreaking, really.)
Big “thank yous” go to the three people who helped edit/nitpick the first edition of this novel: violagirl, fairiesandcream, and Omagus.
And yes, this story is up on Fanficition.net under the penname: Io.Sono.Emilia.
Of course, as a disclaimer, I’m not JK Rowling. The Potterverse does not belong to me, but I am in it and love it.
Date: 11/26/06 Title: Chapter 1: The Unbelievable Head
Great start! I'm liking this already.
There were a few grammatical errors here that you may want to look at.
"ten thirty" read the display.
Make sure 'ten' is capitalized.
“It’s only ten thirty; James, go back to bed...
Rather than a semi-colon, you may want to use a comma.
...gave a quarter turn and, with a loud crack, he Disapparated
There should be a period at the end.
Those were really the only grammatical errors I found. Everything else seemed to be fine. :)
I like how you don't have Lily freak out when she finds out about James being Head Boy. In many of the stories I've read Lily has this huge fit and it's really OOC. Good job!
Author's Response: Hey... I think you\'re the first person to actually tell me grammar errors! Thanks!Thanks much! I reeeally appriciate it. I\'ll get on those right away! Haha. Yeah, I\'ve seen fics like that. I\'m glad Lily\'s not that OOC. Thanks again!
From Abomination to Adoration by grape_2010
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: What caused Lily to loathe James and James to loathe Lily? How did they come to fall in love? What bumps and bruises did they acquire along the way? From hexing to comforting, this is the way it all started. Endure dangers and hardships, perplexity and mind games, and matters of the heart.
Date: 09/25/06 Title: Chapter 1: Prelude: Nasty Beginnings
I have been with this story from the very, very beginning, and not until now have I gotten the chance to review it.
So I basically love this. It's been one of my favorite James/Lily fics I've truly ever read. You've got a major talent of descriptive words and you are very good at giving the reader and image of what is happening. Goodness, I could just imagine those chess pieces running about the common room, destroying everything in sight. I especially cringed at the thought of Lily's wound. It truly did seem very real.
There was only one part I could really pin-point out.
“Hush, Sirius,” James scolded mildly. “I got it.”
There really isn't anything wrong with this part, but I would suggest phrasing it differently, just to make it a bit more Jamesie, if you know what I mean. Perhaps something along the lines of:
Shut it, Padfoot," James scolded mildly. "I've got this."
I would always imagine James to be the kind of person to just tell a person to get off his back once and only once and make it so they know he won't say it again. I dunno, the word 'hush' didn't really strike me as a Jamesie kind of word. I also changed 'I' to 'I've'.
It wasn’t worth the time and energy to fight with James. She knew she had the ammo, but it could take a while for her to think of it fast enough. He had needle-sharp tongue, and was quick to think of comebacks. He also had a hard head, so hard that even if you could bash words into his head with a hammer, he would still be stubbornly convinced he was right.
That right there is my favorite part of this chapter. It describes James perfectly. I love how well you have him in character! He sounds just as I would imagine Jo Rowling to write him out.
Great chapter!
Date: 03/10/06 Title: Chapter 1: Prelude: Nasty Beginnings
Wow, you're really a great writer! This story is awesome =] Can't wait for the next chapter! 10/10
Black Rose by Black Pearl
Rated: Professors •Summary: He saw her letters and became jealous. Passion turned to obsession, then he did something horrible to her. But if she was his, would she stay for sunrise to pass over her face, just so he'd know it wasn't a dream? Rated 'R'.
The sequel, Black Rose: The Lost Chapters, is now up!
Date: 11/26/06 Title: Chapter 1: Riddles in the Dark
This is such a great introduction. It really is. Your story so far is very easy to believe. However, I do question just one part.
You mention toward the beginning that Draco cried himself to sleep that night. Draco, from what I see in him, isn't really the one to let himself cry. I mean sure, he hates where he is, but I doubt he'd let himself cry, as he'd feel he was losing his dignity while doing so.
The only grammatical error I found was this:
Instead came an almost an unrecognizable Granger that took his breath away.
You don't need the 'an' between 'almost' and 'unrecognizable'.
This was so good. I really enjoyed it and I look forward to reading more of this! Awesome work.
