hey - here for the galazy reviewing event :)

 

i've never been to a white lie party or heard of that concept (obviously live a very sheltered life haha) but i love it so much. the first group of text were everyone was sharing their shirt ideas was good. i love sirius just like over confidence bc it's somehow charming too?? marley 'str8 pride' one and i think i found remus the funniest 'no judgement here' hahaha, sasssy.

 

i'm here for everything here, james and lilys disappearing?? cos that's weird at all haha. mary+peter obviously onto something. i love their rambly drunken messages if just seem to get less and less coherent as they go. i think of my favourite things was just marley interacting to herself in the end, just though that was funnny but you know she's ma girl now. i wanna read what lily and james were texting too, better find that fic.

heyyy - here for the reviewing event  :)

 

soo, dorcas is obviously what trying to figure out if marley still likes her or something, meant what was in the message. or does she need to tell marley to move on? idk. i love remus totally not knowing how to answer and seeks help from sirius. 

 

sirius black: first of all, i am offended at the implication that i was not your first choice for advice < bahahah, i love this so much. i love sirius humour in this piece like you nail it and it's so much fun. I love his impression of james too! dorcas dumped marlene, i guess that makes sense, yeah. why is she so interested in her now? if i got text from my ex then i would probably be deleting it if i didn't care not asking her friends about it more. remus though and you're my first choice in many things, that's cuteeee.

 

omg, just marlene's dramatic energy is everything. i'm so here for it. so it's so over the top. she's probably my fave eva for her flare for the ridiculous is just *chefskiss* idk if i could be friends with her tho. my patience lacks. so this party sounds like it's wanna be lots of fun and maybe a disaster :P i'm here for it.

heyy - here for the reviewing event :)

 

gosh, it's a while since i've visited this story. there is just something so fun about it though. everyone has such good energy which i love. i think remus tries to pretend that he's a bit more grown up than the rest of them with their nicknames but tbh can you get sillier than 'worlds sexiest man ever' though lmao. so sirius though. 

 

ahh! texting while drunk is very risky business, bless her that she's too scared to look at whats shes done. I love that we get to see the chat log betwen drunken marlene and dorcas. I don't remember if we know that they're exs or something but kinda seems like that. apart from drunken text then that's a very cute little interaction between them. 

 

I love the bond between the girls here, marlene and lily's friendship is goals, who else can call you a dumbass and an alien in such a loving way haha. <3

 

ahhhhh! the last chat log!! maybe she wasn't so blonde after all!! ooooh! I need to see potential drama unfold or maybe these two are being cute smug idiots!

The happy ending!!! And what a fun ride it has been!!! :D

So happy they are all settled, finally, but still the same crazy bunch! And yay for Peter getting a date, too! :P

Such a great story, but you are the queen of Jily AUs, so no surprise there!

Thank you so much for writing and sharing (and I'll get to the behind-the-scenes Jily too at some point! :P)

Big snowball hug!

Hi, Taylor! I'm back! (The fest seemed a good occasion to catch up :P)

I love Peter... just saying... :P

OMG, Sirius and Remus... can those two just communicate properly???

Again, I love Peter, and I'm also feeling bad for the poor guy... (but also, I kind of want the live-text drama, too? ;P)

See you on the next chapter! <3

ugh the little cuties getting together and dorcas being added and absolutely ROASTING REMUS. also the "bold of you to assume this friendship is a democracy" feels very much like a line you would use irl so like clocking you on that. loved this chapter onto the next one bb <3



Name: maraudertimes (Signed) · Date: 08 May 2021 11:00 PM · For: 'cause baby i could build a castle out of all the bricks they threw at me

i absolutely love the fact that they are GOING ON A VALENTINES DAY DATE and no one has anything to say in the main group chat? i would absolutely peg them on that... also the fact that there are now two couples in this group chat and "we're all single". also 10/10 atla flirting references <3



Name: maraudertimes (Signed) · Date: 08 May 2021 10:54 PM · For: honey, life is just a classroom

Name: maraudertimes (Signed) · Date: 08 May 2021 10:49 PM · For: we cry tears of mascara in the bathroom

Name: maraudertimes (Signed) · Date: 08 May 2021 10:35 PM · For: we play dumb but we know exactly what we're doing

the pure sexual tension between jily rn is amazing, and i love this retelling of the party and ughhhh i love this story in general!!! <3 i do wish there was more of their friends just casually wondering if they'd be a cute couple but i can only assume that comes later so i will keep reading! but also yeah every line is this made me crack up, it's hilarious <3



Name: maraudertimes (Signed) · Date: 08 May 2021 10:24 PM · For: we're so young, but we're on the road to ruin

Name: Felpata_Lupin (Signed) · Date: 24 Apr 2021 11:10 AM · For: we team up, then switch sides like a record changer

OMG! Lol! :P

I love it!

I love that Lily was just, like, sorry, can't, it's James' and my four-months-versary! And the consequent collective shock! So great! :D

I'm not really sure what else to say, except that this was brilliant and you're a genius! <3 Just too much fun! Wonderful job!

I'll be back again at some point! Snowball hug for now!

Name: Felpata_Lupin (Signed) · Date: 24 Apr 2021 10:47 AM · For: he can't see it in my face but i'm about to play my ace

Ahahah! Dorcas changing her name and then asking questions... that just gives the idea of what a crazy bunch they are! I love it! :P

I also love that Marlene was there with juicy news about James and Lily, and everyone was like, but what about you and Dorcas??? :P

And yes, James! Go! Tell Sirius! I love the i'm trying not to betray anyone's confidence here but just... do it line! What a great friend! <3

Ahahah! I love the "of course we were dating, why would we not tell" plan! And patently absurd genius is the perfect definition of James Potter! :P

Another super fun chapter! Thank you for sharing! :D

Snowball hug,

Chiara

Oh, the plot thickens, indeed... :O :P

(Hi, Taylor, dear! How are you? Here for your request! ;) )

I'm very curious to see how the friends are going to approach the topic with J&L... that's going to be so awkward, and I'm so looking forward to it... :P

I love conspiratorial Mary Macdonald, btw... and I love that she went to Peter first for info... :P and also typical Peter liking the non-murderous version of among us better :P and Sirius claiming cleaning up after a murder would be too much effort... have I ever told you you just write them all perfectly? <3

Aww, Remus... he still loves Sirius, too... not that I had any doubts, but it's so cute the way he told James... but also, you don't go on a date to get over someone else, Remus! That's not how it works! (But he realized on his own already...) Okay, but... are those two idiots going to talk it out???

I had forgot about the Dorcas/Marlene accidental kiss... :O and, wow, Dorcas! What's that message? :O A lot of exciting stuff going on! I wonder how Marlene will react to this new development... ;)

I'll see you on the next chapter in a minute!

Big snowball hug,

Chiara



Name: Felpata_Lupin (Signed) · Date: 20 Mar 2021 10:50 AM · For: we are too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet

Okay, but... this didn't answer any of my questions... :/

Poor Sirius, though... :( maybe he should talk to Remus about it? I don't know... I don't think keeping your feelings bottled inside is healthy? I'm one to talk, but... at least he's sort of opened up to James, I guess... that i violated the cardinal rule of our unspoken ‘we hook up on occasion but it doesn't mean anything and we can stay friends' arrangement?? Okay, this made me chuckle more than it probably should... :P

Speaking of which, drunk Sirius trying to bake cookies and "destroying" the kitchen in the process was hilarious as well! :P And this:

actual resident #3: especially because god knows sirius can't bake anything himself / actual resident #3: without destroying the kitchen in the process / actual resident #2: i only did that once!! / actual resident #1: it's also the only time you've ever tried to bake anything / actual resident #1: therefore, peter's point stands

I don't know, you're just hilarious, okay? :P

Great chapter! :D



Name: Felpata_Lupin (Signed) · Date: 20 Mar 2021 10:33 AM · For: heartbreak is the national anthem, we sing it proudly

Wait, what? Remus has a date? What date? With whom? What's going on? :O

And Sirius getting grumpy about it... obviously... :(

Lily messaging everyone thinking it's James is hilarious... :P

lily evans: i will thank you approropriatly / james potter: i'm very intrigued to find out what you mean by that Me too, James... me too... :P

Ahahah! And the part about Lily sleeping on James' floor... and this: actual resident #1: for the record i did try to offer my bed to her / actual resident #1: she refused / actual resident #1: have YOU ever tried to convince a drunk lily to do something she didn't want to do Love it! :P

But back to the most important bit of this chapter... WHAT DATE??? Guess I'll need to read one chapter more... ;)

See you in a moment!

Love,

Chiara

Hey, Taylor, hello! :D

Here for your request, and always delighted to come back to this (good) madness! ;)

Aww... looks like things between Marlene and Dorcas are moving on... :D

I love how everyone is still reminding/blaming Remus of the whole inviting-Dorcas incident... poor guy... they will pester him forever about it, won't they? :P But it could actually turn out to be a good thing in the end... ;)

Also, the bold of you to assume this friendship is a democracy line was epic! :D

Poor Peter and Mary, the fifth and sixth weels... :P

mary mcdonald: honestly idk why they decided to go on valentine's day, they're just gonna end up surrounded by couples / peter pettigrew: yeahh that was definitely some questionable logic on their parts I don't know... I feel like James and Lily might've done it on purpose? *whistling* I also feel like James never made it to the bar? *more whistling*

lighten up lupin is a genius nickname! Dorcas is integrating in this group so well already! (Although, again, poor Remus... Lol!)

Drunken texting is always the best! :P

Great chapter! It made me laugh so much! :D

See you on the next in a minute!

Snowball hug,

Chiara



Name: Felpata_Lupin (Signed) · Date: 06 Mar 2021 09:38 AM · For: 'cause baby i could build a castle out of all the bricks they threw at me

Okay, I'm back! :D

Love drunk texting! :P Also, playground!!! *hearteyes* (Yes, I'm a child... no, I'm not sorry...)

I love how they all have this pattern of getting wasted and then complaining it the following day and swearing they'll never do it again, but then they get completely wasted two days later... :P Also, how's Lily always okay the following morning? And Remus taking care of Sirius like that... those two are cute... :)

Okay, but... what it is with James and Lily going to theatre together on Valentine's day...? Is there something those two haven't told me? Mmmh...

lily no ur not responsible enough for that changed their name to lily no ur not allowed to be responsible Ahahah! Gotta love Mary Macdonald! :P

Loved this!

Snowball hug,

Chiara
