Why you should read this ...
This story has marvellous characterisation, beautiful detail, and an enthralling plot. The way GhV manages to weave together so many plot threads is incredible, reminiscent of the great JKR herself! You will love her OCs, all of whom have distinct nods to canon. She incorporates details of JKR's world so smoothly into her writing, and you'll feel a wonderful sense of satisfaction after reading!
Recommended especially to Remus fans. And not to worry, the story dives back into canon, and complies with R/T ... be warned, however, you'll need a boxful of tissues to prepare for that end. I don't cry that easily on reading fanfiction nowadays, but this one reduced me to tears at the end!
