All the Young Dudes: Marauders Masterpiece

The best Harry Potter book isn't even written by J.K. Rowling. It’s called All

the Young Dudes, and calling it a fanfic feels like an insult because this thing is a

five-hundred-thousand-word masterpiece. It’s a prequel set in the Marauders' era,

so you watch Remus, Sirius, and James grow up in real-time. It’s not about shock

value; it’s a slow burn that lets you breathe with the characters through every mistake and

friendship milestone. Since it stays canon-compliant, it feels like a lost history book that just happens

to be absolutely devastating. Read this if you are ready to emotionally destroy yourself

over the generation that came before Harry.
