Reviews For Poor Things

Hi there! I’m here for the review event.

 

Okay first of all I love that they’re all living here. I thought this was really cute and adorable. I really liked the letters at the start of the fic between them all – they were really well written and really showed their personalities and also the little bit of humour in it was just soo good.

 

I really liked how you portrayed their relationship as well. They’re all quite obviously so happy together and it was so cute and the domestic aspects of them all parenting Harry were also super well written. This was such a good fluffy fic to read and I’m sorry I can’t word any better to express how much I loved it but I loved it. I love the little bits of banter between them as well.

 

I also love the idea of Lily working on experimental charms – it sounds super interesting (especially the one about having bedsheets doing themselves up…. I need it) and also very much in line with what I remember of canon Lily.

 

This was an adorable fic and I’ll be back for more of your writing soon!

Hey Dottie! Ah, I love me some domestic bliss. <3

 

It's just always heartwarming to read AU's where the Marauders all live, and I've never read poly Marauders, much less these four all together, and it just makes them all living that much sweeter, I think. Instead of having lost two loving parents, Harry grows up with four!

 

The little notes were such a fun way to start off, and full of character. The affectionate familiarity of "Prongs and sprog." Sirius's cheeky response of "why not jasmines?" after both Remus and Lily's "just get apples." And Haz! What an adorable nickname for Harry!

 

Love the idea of Lily working with experimental charms, by the way!

 

Look forward to more of your writing! <3

AHHHH HELLO I’M HERE FOR THIS


You have to understand, James/Sirius is one of my otps and previously the only story on the archive for them was by me (there was a gift fic somebody wrote me once but they took it down, RIP). Getting them AND polyamory is just… eternal chefskiss


Sirius addressing his letter “darlings” just added five years to my life


I… don’t know if I’m out of touch but I’m not sure what sprog means, which makes the opening a little confusing to me. Is Sirius telling james/sprog to beware, or telling others to beware of them?


They have so many nicknames for each other it’s adorable, and their messages are all domestic AF


Ugh Lily gets to be an adult who lives past age 21 and focus on an interesting job she’s good at (though underappreciated) instead of a war that kills them all brb sobbing


UM excuse me yes I would like a self sorting wardrobe. Can it also sort clothes I throw on the floor?


Ok, I want to know what the points of divergence in this AU are. Is it no voldemort, or they had some other way to avoid being targeted and there’s still a threat? I’m hoping for pure safe fluff personally. What about Remus, is he still a werewolf?


…. this sickness Lily is getting better not be serious. Let! Them! Have! Happiness!


Harry’s talking, so we’re a while after they would’ve died, I guess? How old is he?


I want to know so much about them and their relationships! Do they all live together, or no? I want to know the specifics about what makes each person’s relationship with each of their partners unique. Are they a closed group, or does anyone date people outside of the family? I’m really curious what order and how quickly each of the relationships within the relationship developed and how they got here.


Also, I am curious how this fits into your other stories about them, because it’s a larger series, right? Are the other pieces going to be set before or after this? Will they all be told in one-shots, or longer pieces?


This intro definitely piqued my interest (as if it wasn’t already lol) and I’m eager to see what else you’ve got!


Sam.



Author's Response:

Thank you so much for this review!! It makes me so happy that someone likes my fic/universe so much <333

 

Sprog means "kid" basically, so Sirius is telling them to beware James and Harry lol.

 

Yesss I wanted to find something I think she'd really like and Committee of Experimental Charms was perfect!! And lolll not yet! Maybe she'll work on that next

 

Voldemort does still happen, and Remus is still a werewolf. This is a James/Lily live au where Voldemort dies on Halloween 1981 but I can't get into anymore detail about that without spoiling lol. Harry is three here, so this is 1984! And dw about Lily, she'll be okay. As for their relationship, the big fic I have planned will deal with how they get together!! Then I have ideas for one shots within the verse that'll explore more stages of their relationships, maybeeee more longer fics if I get any good ideas.
