Summary:
Albus’s plan failed, the war was lost. But his forgotten brother, Aberforth, has a plan too, a plan ‘B’, a plan that no normal person would even imagine, much less put into action. Then again; Aberforth has never really been normal. His plan, however, had consequences not even he could imagine, and it slipped and twisted from his grasp, laughing wildly as it dove into the realms of chaos. Ladies and gentlemen, hold onto your broomsticks, the Black twins are coming to Hogwarts. MWPP era.

Alberforth takes baby Harry and wants to give him to the Potters(James parents), the plan backfires and he ends up with the Blacks.


Good writing and a pretty funny story.


The one thing that bugs me is, if this story will be slash.I browsed the authors favorites and he has a few slash fics.


It`s only a few chapters in the story, so far 3/5.

A link would be helpful

 

The writing is sub-standard, and I couldn't get past the first bits of chapter two. 1/5

 

You should have read the author's AN at the bottom of the first chapter instead of browsing his other stories...

Although it's not my place to say, but there should be a rule against people posting a story for a review and give it a rating that doesn't place it in the library...

DarkAizen, take a look at that thread if you haven't seen it yet - Almost Recommended fanfiction

EDIT: well Rin said it before me... ^

And here I though the scions of the Black house would have been taught to at least talk in a manner not so closely related to a teen that has grown up with the nowadays MTV channel as the only source of education...

 

I found it amusing enough to read the entire thing. Which, these days, is high praise. 4/5.

 

Not flawless, but far above average, and reasonably funny. 4/5

 

The start annoys me. Nearly all the sentences end with a '....'.

 

sentence structure and spelling were decent, but it was lacking a hook of any kind. You just know that harry is going to replace peter in the mauraders, the better than 50/50 odds of slash, and the incredibly slow plot movement all lead to an overall Bleh feeling.

Decent I suppose, but still woefully inadequate. 3/5

 

Slow buildup. Very slow buildup. At least the latest chapter is faster-paced and good.

 

Curse you ellipses!

 

I found the title misleading.

Here I was thinking it was going to be about twins who just happened to be black.

 

(Blinks once)... (Blinks twice)... (Shrugs shoulders and let it go just for the sake of decency)...

Did you really? Or I'm just that bad in catching up to some strange sarcasm...

 

I was bored with this after a while. I quit reading it. It's a nice story, but it's just not my type of story. It's borderline emo. Well okay, maybe not that far, but its close. I'd give it a 3.

 

Quoted for truth.

It is actually fairly funny if you bother to read the whole thing as it is. If it continues in the same vein the over the top pranks might start getting a little old. At the moment it's worth reading the whole way through.

3.5/5 but probably not worthy of the library.

 

it is VERY funny if you can get into the "groove" so to speak.
Logic and grammar isn't perfect, but if you enjoy a longish crack-fic this might be perfect for you.
i definitly enjoyed it

 

The only thing I liked about this story was Ollivander's reaction. It's just a Marauders-era fic with mediocre writing. The butt-rape we all love to hate is from Orion and Walpurga rather than Vernon and Petunia.

This story could possibly be rescued for the win with Harry/Lily. 2/5, but won't actually rate this thread in hopes that the author gets a clue.

 

I loved the pranks if you can call them that. They're more like accidents that escalate into disaster and chaos. There's no planning, no elaborate setup or research that needs to be done, just random acts of stupidity that somehow turns into chaos.

I've read a lot of stories where Harry ressurrects the marauders and pulls off some pathetic pranks that take weeks of planning and research and that go off exactly as planned. It's good to read about pranks that don't go quite as planned or that aren't even meant to be pranks.

Other than the pranks though, the story is pretty mediocre.
