Synopsis

Is blood a bond of fate or a curse?

Is it a sin for love to grow?

But we’ve been entangled for so long that even our bones have rusted the same way.

Then let’s share the guilt, all right?

(Content warnings!)

Harry Potter Marauders’ Era!

Black brothers, a two-person pairing (not sure about the Barty Crouch Jr. storyline; I’ll just see where it goes).

1. This is a reader-insert fic with a female protagonist, written in first person! (I think first person makes it easier to imagine yourself in the story.) There will be no detailed physical descriptions, so you won’t be able to piece together a face.

2. The name “you” won’t appear, so there shouldn’t be any dead-name issues! I’ll use “yn” in place of a name.

3. This is my take on the Marauders’ Era; all the characters reflect my personal interpretations! If that bothers you, please don’t read!

4. Lily and Potter will be together. Voldemort will probably appear toward the end of the Marauders’ Era.

***5. Please don’t use objectifying terms like “little sister” in the comments to refer to “you.”

If I see words like “little sister,” I’ll reply with one reminder, dear. The next day, whether or not you’ve seen my reply, I’ll delete the comment.

This is a female reader-insert fic. I hope those who read it will understand.

6. If anything makes you uncomfortable, please leave immediately. Don’t attack the author.

I Need Lots of Immersive Otome Stories 😋 So What If I Romance the Whole World?

I want to read something similar to "[Self-Insert] After Entering a Transmigrated Game, You Are Always Coveted by NPCs." Something along those lines. Don't recommend stories with a female lead. Otome stories should revolve around yn, too. No female lead, and nothing written in third or first person. Any genre is fine.

I Only Want Otome Stories, Not Original Female Leads! Make Them Easy to Self-Insert Into!

Looking for books like Yokohama Blind Spot Observation Log: Bungo Stray Dogs. Do not recommend anything unless the author has clearly stated that it is a female-oriented romance. Don't recommend stories disguised as female-oriented romance that actually feature an original female protagonist. If I see one, I'll block it and start a new thread. Also, don't recommend authors whose stance is questionable. Keep it safe for everyone, and don't leave anyone out.

Our Rael is just so wonderful! The twin setting is so perfect, like different leaves growing from the same branch. They've been together since the very beginning of their lives, this fateful entanglement is just so beautiful, waaaaah 😢. He's not much older than YN, but at such a young age he already knows to love and protect YN, always thinking of YN and putting YN first!

Phew. I deleted my previous review and am going to rewrite it. The author writes exceptionally well, whether it's the brothers' struggles or Little Barty's complexities. Every time I read it, it's heartwarming, and sometimes I even get sand in my eyes. (PS: Author, it feels like our Rael is a little bitter gourd; both the main story and the side stories are so heart-wrenching.)

Oh my god, it's so well-written! It's beyond what you'd expect from a book like Tomato (a popular Taiwanese writer). It has the gentle, flowing quality of a literary work. Although I haven't read many books, listening to this one is so heartwarming and lovely! The female lead is so adorable!

This story is so original! Both the narrative style and structure allow me to feel the lingering, dull pain of Rael and Sirius's love for me. The author's side stories are incredibly immersive, filled with tangled emotions—pain, helplessness, and uncontrollable struggles.

The writing is truly excellent; the words seem to carry a touch of London rain, tinged with a subtle melancholy. The style is refreshingly beautiful, and the numerous metaphors are particularly brilliant, especially Sirius's "The Mountain Lotus Leaf Without Rain"—it's absolutely stunning!

I enjoyed reading this so much! So many dogs! It was so much fun playing with them. I haven't had anything this delicious in ages! Wow! The tug-of-war, the ambiguity, and the constant stream of brilliant lines—the writing is absolutely superb! I swear I'll follow you to the end! Actually, I realized it was during a rare update... It was so heartbreaking!

Absolutely divine! 😢🥰 I love the author so much! (ˊ˘ˋ*)♡ It's divinely inspired! 🍅 Of all the Harry Potter fanfics, I'd crown this my number 1!!! Especially Rael...(ಥ_ಥ), He's so well-written. In the original work, Rael is the character I praise above everyone else, becoming my favorite yet most heartbreaking character.

This book boasts excellent writing and remarkably nuanced character portrayals. The female lead is vividly portrayed, a truly three-dimensional character. 👍 All the male leads are well-developed, with their inner thoughts and feelings realistically depicted. The overall reading experience is highly immersive; the characters are not mere plot devices, but rather possess their own thoughts and perspectives. It's a very enjoyable read and definitely worth reading.
