"They spoke with boyish enthusiasm about explosions and detonators, they were boyishly distracted by the phallic shapes of the rockets, drawing human details over the photographs of chromium and steel, and yet Remus had never felt closer to adulthood."

oh god, yes. this whole thing was beautiful, and very sad, and funny too (i loved them getting high, and i particularly loved them drawing dicks on the rockets in the bit i quoted above) - thank you!

This was so very beautiful! I love the whole piece a lot, and I adore the ending. There are so many lines that stand out, the story is incredibly well-written with a wonderful rhythm. The switches back and forth work gorgeously - I found the way that Remus saw Sirius and their project particularly powerful, but I love every part of this. Heart-breaking and sad, yet full of sweetness and love. Fabulous work!

This was so beautiful - so heart-wrenching and lovely and full of brilliant lines. And it all rang true somehow, how they are with each other, killing the moon, the transformations, Azkaban...
Remus struggling to clear his throat and his off-hand "While you're here" just as his/their dream comes true was just perfect, one of many many instances.

Big congratulations to the author - I'm about to read the first Moon entry now but if only we all had your powers Team Star would have this in the bag :)
(I actually found myself scrolling up to see who'd written it - duh! - in order to check out all their other work. Forgot where I was there for a minute.)
What a great start to the games!

Such a beautifully crafted story! You have a gift for imagery and a way of putting words together that really stick in my head. This one in particular--"Some nights he had clutched at his chest at the thought of this thing within him - without blood, without breath, without end - poised to deliver him unimaginable destruction, or unimaginable bliss."--was one that wouldn't let me go.

The ending line was incredible. An absolutely perfect ending. So gorgeous!

Thank you so much!

This was really interesting, I don't think I've ever come across a fic that thought about the moon in this way before! I loved the thread of killing the moon and how it all tied together; the "philosophical death" was such a good point. Well done <3
