Summary: The 31 days of October during the Marauder's sixth year.
Why: This series was written for scarvesnhats, and it follows the Marauders through the month of October during their sixth year. Which is a singularly boring summary for the story that just ate up hours of my day in a most enjoyable fashion.
rosemaryandrue writes the Marauders (and Lily) in lovely fashion, making every single chapter nothing but interesting. Even Peter gets his fair due from her. Her characterization in general is just really fantastic. Also fantastic is the development of the relationship between Remus and Sirius, which isn't in the slightest rushed, but doesn't drag either. The time period is even written perfectly: still the happy days of school, but hints of darkness that reflect the events of the rest of the world.
In addition, the story has a plot, which I have to admit snuck up on me a bit in the later chapters, but was pleasant surprise nonetheless. Even when the plot isn't immediately present, however, the story is nothing less than engrossing. Everyday life with the Marauders, I must say, is quite an exciting thing.
