Warnings: Mild bondage, ambiguous consent (nothing too heavy), although Regulus is involved in one of the smut scenes, I wouldn't say there was incest unless you really want to see it that way. :)

The characterizations and the time period are absolutely perfect here. I'm not quite sure I have the right words to explain what I found so captivating about this, but I'm going to give it a shot.

These characters are James and Sirius, the heart and soul of the Marauders, while they're still young enough that the realities of the impending war haven't yet truly affected them. They're an arrogant and untouchable team, utter wankers, really, but extraordinary in their comfort with and trust in each other.

You've given the Marauders and everything from their time period a dynamic feel; they aren't just people and things that existed at one time in a static sort of way, but a living process here. I love that you included details like the gradual creation of the Map and their progress with the anmagus transformation.

The description of the way Sirius experiences the magic as he's casting the spell is eerie and gorgeous. And then, the description of its effect on Regulus... gnuh.

Fuck, he starts to think they should've planned this a bit better.

Gee, ya think?? Haha!

This is the kind of hollow left when something unspoken is shattered.

Ouch, what a great line.

Dark and smooth and delicious. (Wait, did I just describe the fic, or chocolate...? Well, in either case, I suppose it's fitting...)

Absolutely excellent. Unusual, creative, and delightfully creepy.

And the characterizations... these characters seem REAL to me. I love it. NICE.

Oh. Oh, Jesus. Okay, this is one of the hottest fics I have read in a long time. God, the ending is so perfect. It's almost a little sad, too, since the poor boys are so determined on pretending it meant nothing at all.

The characterizations were great here, and the premise especially - you did a fantastic job inventing your own magic and the way it worked. And yeah . . . the smut. Good, good smut.

Awesome fic, anon! :D

I loved the use of Shadowmancy throughout and really -- I have no words to say why I loved this so -- other than I did. Wonderful job! ♥

I'm with [info]r_grayjoy here, you've captured the essence of those two. They're both deep and human, yet untouched, randy teenagers who still think massive tits are just the shit. I very much enjoyed their banter; it was so suiting.

I am also in love with the absolutely eerie tone set both times they tried the spell. It was captivating and mesmerizing, and a little addictive.

Oh, sweet jesus. That was the most purely erotic thing I have read in a long, long time. *slow exhale* What a beautiful concept, a totally unique concept! I was swept up in the mystery of it right from the beginning - no idea what was going to happen, and Sirius's shock at Regulus's reaction was mine as well! Brilliant.

James and Sirius's reactions to it were just perfect, so very them, and I cannot express how much I love that they pretend it never happened. YES. OMG, BOYS. :) Also, my God, your descriptions of the shadows were so gorgeous, I think I felt them on my own body.

Fantastic story. :)

Oh, I do love magical theory, and this is AWESOME the way it's done, especially that last paragraph. I love how in denial James and Sirius are too - it's so very obvious. Sirius especially, on more than one count, and I don't even really like Blackcest. :D Very nice, Santa.

Jesus Christ on an effing Cleansweep.

This fic is just perfect. No, really. It's perfect.

You've captured James and Sirius wonderfully -- their banter, and the dynamic between them, and I love how they pretend it never happened, because thats just so inescapably them. And Regulus! Good Lord, he never said a word, and he nearly killed me dead.

rut against his best fucking friend in the world

Yes yes omg yes. Rutting kinks me so hard, and this was just scorching hot. And the shadows -- the descriptions are so vivid and gorgeously dark.

Gah. This comment is made of fail. You've knocked me completely speechless.

Thank you so very, very much! This is exactly what I wanted! ♥

Whoa, this was fantastic. I loved all the magical theory woven in, loved their banter and their comfort (the sprout thing, hahahahaha!), and omg, I was nearly gnawing on my hand reading through the scene in the shieking shack:

rut against his best fucking friend in the world

*flail* Well done!

OMG, this was fantastic! Sirius and James were perfect. And the sex - so bloody hot. Guh. The whole shadows concept was just brilliant.

I have no idea who you are, mystery author, but I thought the writing felt familiar somehow. Of course, it's possible I've never read anything else by you. Either way, I can't wait to find out who you are!

Oh, and that last paragraph! It filled me with glee. :D

And I feel hollow, too. I enjoyed Sirius and James' antics tremendously, but all along there was this tone of foreboding. And at the end there was this un-tamped potential for what could be more between these. It's painful but also realistic, and, from what I can tell, exactly what you were trying to accomplish. Great job.

I don't even like this pairing, but wow, that was an incredibly absorbing read. What an awesome bit of magical theory -- I was fascinated and creeped out by it at the same time, much like the boys themselves. Loved your characterizations too -- the banter, the Marauder-ly curiosity, the boyish arrogance, and all those unspoken things underneath. Well done!

oh, what an ominous ending, suggesting that even though the book is destroyed, consequences will linger. what an interesting take on the dark side of the marauders' pranks. it doesn't surprise me at all that james would be the one who'd voice wanting to use the spell on himself.

Eeep! That was so creepy, and so clever, and so... wow! I love when stories are smart and give me that sense of, "whoa, I'd never think of that! Cool!" You've written the dynamic between two of them just brilliantly! This is everything I love about them with a delicious dark edge! And maybe soon I'll be able to write a sentence that doesn't end in with an exclamation point! :)

I enjoyed the unique magical theory, along with the descriptions of the shadows that were both visceral and visual.

Firstly, I love it when teenagers are described as *real* teenagers, with awkward smiles, porn stashes and swear words. Secondly, you conveyed the (sexual) tension between Sirius and Regulus perfectly. If I hadn't been already sweating for the enchantment's consequences, this alone would have caused an orgasm: His eyes are shut tightly, so tight Sirius can see lines forming at the edges, like premature crow's feet. His nose is a little wrinkled too, and if it wasn't Reg it would almost be cute.

The ending was realistic and rather creepy. Thanks for this beautiful story!
