Lily: Are Any Of You Straight?

The Marauders listening to Another One Bites the Dust in 1980 when it came out, oblivious to how it forshadows their future

give barty crouch jr a tramp stamp cowards.

Marauders era characters as things my friends have said part 4

James: are you having family issues?

Regulus: no I’m having criminal issues.

The biggest “your experiences are not universal” thing I feel is whenever anyone talks about the universality of girls planning their weddings since childhood because. Well. Not me. God bless

i love the potter to james to jamie transition amen

Headcannons for the family lives of each marauders (please be reminded these are my headcannons and any hate will cause an argument from me 🫶)

James: happy loving parents but not all the time, families always have flaws the potters are just better at hiding them. He would argue with his dad a lot over stupid things but James never hated his dad

Sirius + regulus: of course the abusive Walburga and Orion BUT I like to think that when they were younger Walburga was kinder to them but was then placed under the imperious curse by Orion to keep her in line, and to discipline there children better

Peter: BIG family, kind of an opposite Weasley family, five sister and Peter is the only boy. I like to headcannon on of his sisters was deaf and non magic so she was less loved by her family but her and Peter were reallly close. Peter is the middle child, three older, two younger. His father is not in the picture, left when Peter was 7.

Remus: farm family, literally grew up on a farm and had like two horses, cows and chickens. His dad worked all the time and his mum was stayed home and took care of the animals. Remus was closer to his mum because he barely saw his dad but in the 6th year she got six and the year after they graduated she passed.

Marlene: child of divorce, (She jokes about it a lot) parents divorced on good terms but don’t keep them in the same room for long because they will argue. Has two older brothers that raised her when he parents were fighting

Mary: raised by her dad, only child, her mother passed away and severe complications during the pregnancy and birth. Her dad always would treat her like a princess but they did not grow up rich, her father balanced two jobs and taking care of Mary. He got a lot of help from grandma MacDonald

Lily: her and petunia were close, REALLY close and were all aware of them splitting apart after Lily was sent to Hogwarts. But I like to think they didn’t just, minimise contact. Petunia despised her so much that as soon as she could cut Lily out completely, that’s why she hated Harry so much. But deep down she still loved her sister,

Barty: absolutely despised his dad. (In a muggle au I enjoy him having severe religious trauma and that’s why he despised his dad so much, probs will write some short about this), his mum was completely corrupted by his dad and always listened and believed everything he said. Barty still loved his mum, he knew that she wasn’t really like that, it’s his dad’s fault.

Evan + Pandora: parents were very together but Pandora was raised as a princess, learning how to be a good housewife and a perfect mother, while Evan learned the “manlier stuff” (which I cannot think of right now so use your imagination). The Two grew up very differently from eachother, so they never had a strong relationship, but they learned bro be siblings over time

Dorcas: another child of divorce, probably why Marlene and her clicked so well. The only difference is that Dorcas parents divorced when she was really young while Marlene was older. Dorcas always favoured her dad over her mum but they both were severly flawed.

i need more sybill and peter i love them together sm, theres so much potential pleaaaasse

What's the point if ur ship isn't fucking against the canon with ao3 as lube

Grant: You talk in your sleep, you know.

Remus: Oh?

Grant: Yeah. It’s never my name.

2 years.

It took regulus 2 years to figure out how badly he messed up.

It took regulus 2 years to tell the one boy, who finally saw who he really was, that he loved him

And it took 2 years for regulus to realised he messed up.

Regulus stood over the bowl, horcrux in hand.

In the background he could hear Kreacher telling him he had to leave.

In the background the sounds of inferni were moving towards him.

In the back off his mind was his sense of urgency, in the front was James.

It was always James, James potter. The love of his life, off dating Lily Evan’s the girl he liked forever.

They were always going to end up together, they were destined for eachother.

Regulus knew that when he started dating James but he wanted the potter all to himself and he destroyed it

James wanted regulus all to himself but from the very start regulus had stated that his family was always his priority.

The black family? Why would that be his priority, it wasn’t truly. He was just scared.

So now, 2 years later regulus is standing in the cave, handing the horcrux to Kreacher and screaming at him to leave

Now, 2 years later, regulus is screaming for James, trying to claw his body away from the hands of the inferni.

And now 2 years later, he feels a familiar warmth grab onto his hand and pull.

2 years later he’s in the arms of James again, but at what cost?
