Hi friends!!! I haven't used tumblr in YEARS, and this was an old poetry blog I made when I was like 15, but it's the only anonymous account I have, and I wanna be anon for now while still getting this out there as much as I can (cuz it's been hella work and I want people who want it to have it). I joined this fandom back in January, reading this fic specifically just cuz I wanted Sirius's POV of Harry Potter. In conclusion it ended up destroying my soul (and getting me really into David Bowie). Anyway, in my hyperfixation of searching this stuff up on YouTube, I noticed that it appears no one ever completed an audiobook version of this fic. So because I am insane and the autistic hyperfixations don't know when to quit, I decided fuck it imma do it myself. I put this on reddit when I first started posting, but now that I'm a good way through, I've decided to put it on here as well!! Feel free to share it where ever you want with whoever you want.

You can find my YouTube channel for the fic here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBLUTO5aXtG_x1Jw6wJidwQ

Or if you would rather listen to it on Spotify, it is here: https://open.spotify.com/show/033pNJ8HKlGrEcGS6sFkz6?si=Zk33GyCsTkOCnGslddyaLw

Years 1-4 (aka book 1) are all available now. I post as often as I can (mostly everyday, although I will skip days sometimes cuz I do have a life and am either very busy or very tired). My goal is to do the entire thing to the best of my ability cuz this fic is so amazingly done and yes physically reading 188 chapters can be a lot for some people, that's why audiobooks exist in the first place.

And lastly, and most importantly, this fic was written by the amazing @rollercoasterwords (I debated tagging them cuz that's scary but like they deserve proper credit like this) and is of course based on the original All the Young Dudes fic by MsKingBean89. Obviously I'm not making any money from this, it's purely a fun little hobby.

Please leave comments if ya want or just follow along, I love chatting with people and discussing stories like this :)

Marlene tried burying it, smashing it, making it vanish with magic, and even blowing it up. Nothing worked. So, she resorted to shoving it into the very back of her bedside drawer. She hated it, somehow, knowing it was there and being entirely unable to rid herself of it.

She never opened that drawer again and, as time wore on, she began to view it as a physical manifestation of the suffocating feelings she harboured for Dorcas Meadowes.

Marlene promised herself she would keep them locked away in the dark until they rotted, until they gathered enough dust to be truly buried, buried enough so she could call them dead.

Marlene held on to the promise she had made Dorcas Meadowes. She would hate her her whole life, hate her with enough perseverance so she would forget why she loved her in the first place.

I'm a Korean fan who happened to just stumble across the HP series when I was seven y/o and I fell in love with it. I've never read the Korean version, but the English one was great!

I fell in love with Sirius first, but as I grew up I got a phone and therefore an access to social media. There are literally NO "class of '78 fans" in Korea, so I got along with foreigners (ofc they knew atyd) and gradually got to know atyd, so I logged into ao3 and started reading instantly.

Yess it was the best fanfic! siriusly I never knew someone could write like that and even the oc is wonderful. My OTP was Hinny bc i never knew any HCs but reading atyd it changed into jily/wolfstar they're soo adorable!! The angst and fluff was so perfect and sad :)

(Also the marauders foreign fandom is wonderful you guys create beautiful fanarts)
