The simmering and slight whispers in Slughorn's classroom were the only thing audible, a cold breeze which glided past your cheeks made you sigh. It was mid July and unbearably hot in Hogwarts.

The worst thing was that teachers, especially Slughorn, didn’t approve of improper uniforms. You were allowed to wear shorts, even short sleeve shirts but the robes had to stay, safety reasons he had said. You were sure that he secretly enjoyed seeing you all suffer.

“I’ll drop dead soon, it’s sooo hot in here” Isolde, your friend, muttered as she wiped her forehead with her arm. You were hot, yes, but Isolde had to bear the heat with a head full of black thick curls.

“I told you to put your mane up.” Diana snickered, her ash white hair in a bun on top of her head. You stirred your pot and took another look at the book, something didn’t seem right. Why was Isolde’s whitish and yours almost green?

“It’s not that simple, Diana.” Isolde bit back, her mouth in a thin line. “Just ‘cause you have a fist full of hair.” Diana’s mouth opened in shock as she smacked her friend's shoulder.

“Why is yours like that and mine’s like this?” You asked, leaning over Isolde’s cauldron, eyebrows in a frown.

“Cause you’re kinda shit at potions, hun.” She patted your shoulder and gave you a fake pout.

“But I really need this grade.” You grumbled as you stared at your greenish liquid. Slughorn wouldn’t even be surprised, you thought. “I know, I know." Isolde whispered and dropped something you didn’t know into your cauldron.

“Why don’t you ask for help?” Diana spoke, eyes fixed on her book. “Help? From who?” Diana gave you a small smile.

“You heard Slughorn before, Potter’s a genius at potions.” Your eyes widened as you shook your head. “No fucking way, Potter’s a nightmare.” Isolde’s mouth twitched into a smile as nudged you.

“That’s not what I heard two nights ago.”

Your eyes closed as you turned to your cauldron, you had played truth or dare spiked with Veritaserum. You had blabbered about how hot James Potter and his friends were and how much you would give for him to do certain things to you.

“Shut up, Diana.” You grumbled.

A second later a paper bird stumbled over your head onto your book, flapping its wings as it unfolded.

10 Prettiest Girls

Y/N L/N - slytherin, scary :(

Aurora Kent - boring

Lily Evans - snivellus' friend

Narcissa Black - cousin, not cool

Marlene McKinnon

Diana Hunt - slytherin, airhead

Isolde O’Neil - mean also slytherin

Alice Fortscue

Mary McDonald

Florence Williams - slytherin

You couldn’t believe what you held in your hands. Your eyes widened as you looked over it again. You were number one, wow, but you’re scary?

Slowly you turned around, paper in your hand. Sirius and Peter stared at you with wide eyes as you noticed what had happened. This paper wasn’t supposed to fall into your hands, it was supposed to fly over your head into James’ and Remus’ hands.

With your face cold as ice you walked over to them, their eyes still wide. Remus took a step back.

“Y/N, hi.” He spoke, much higher than usual. You slammed the paper down on James’ table, careful enough to not disturb Slughorn, who was busy in his cabinet.

“This-This-”I’m scary?” You said, mouth in a grin. His eyes widened as they switched between the paper and your face multiple times.

“What?” He tried but you let a small chuckle slip. You took a step around the table, closer than needed. James fell back onto his chair, faces inches apart.

“Do I scare you, James?” His lips formed into a grin and he put his hand on the table, to steady himself, you guessed.

“You don’t scare me, Y/N.” You crossed your arms and now smiled at him, your braids fell over your shoulders, almost hitting the boy in front of you in the face as you bent down a tad. Your lips hovered over his ear, his neck tensed

“Then why’s your heart beating so fast?” He hung his head as a chuckle left his form, he placed his hands on his thighs before looking at you again.

“Cause you’re kinda cute.” You threw your head back as a giggle, barely audible, escaped you. Your hand found his chin, lifting his face.

“Right back at ‘ya.” He smiled and gave you another smile.

“And since we’re already here, you might want to cross that, Diana’s much smarter than she lets on.” He nods and takes the pen Remus holds out for him.

With a hand to his forehead he smiles at you, a pinkish tint on his apple cheeks.

“Yes ma’am.”

list of things that the marauders fandom made up: a summary

the marauders naming themselves the marauders. there is no evidence for it, and on the map, it is written the marauder's map. the marauder is a synonym of some sorts to rascal, raider

james "fleamont" potter and sirius "orion" black. remus (john) is the only one who has a canon middle name, actually

on that note, lily's middle name. jean, jane, jolene. the only (canon) thing we know about it is that it starts with a j

the personalities of sirius black, james potter, peter pettigrew, remus lupin, lily evans, (characters that have been given little backstory), barty crouch, mary macdonald, (characters that have been mentioned once or twice or, on barty's case, given almost little to no backstory) marlene mckinnon, dorcas meadowes, regulus black, pandora lovegood (literally dead when the series started)

their relationships with each other and the ways that they interact (enemies to lovers dorlene, best friends to lovers marylily, the very exact dynamics between the marauders and other characters, even the dynamic between the black brothers)

grant chapman

all the other marauders era character ocs

almost all of the ships (besides jily and fralice): wolfstar, jegulus, jegulily, nobleflower, marylily, marylene, dorlene, dorlily, pandorcas, rosekiller the list goes on and on

the idea that the prank has been something dramatic that had put a strain on their relationship. sirius seems to be showing no remorse about it whatsoever, remus seems very unbothered

the fact that sirius had long hair before azkaban, too. (he canonically has short hair. moody, in the order picture, described him as "sirius, before he had long hair.")

remus' scars. they are, not once, mentioned or described in canon

remus being a casanova. once again, no canon evidence. the only one of them who seems to have been interesting to the hogwarts population was sirius, who seemed "uninterested"

james and sirius being "dumb". they're one of the only characters in the series, along with hermione granger and a few others, who are described as "exceptionally bright" and "exceptionally smart"

pretty much the whole lore

and then they were roommates james potter x fem!reader idiots to lovers college au

"you're getting kicked out?" lily whispered, shock enveloping her words. you were just as shocked as she was, your grip on on your phone tightening.

"yeah. apparently her boyfriend's moving in or something, i don't know." you rolled your eyes; you had never liked your previous roommate but she did offer the best rent and did her share of chores. though her boyfriend was a douche and you hated having to see him pretty much everyday.

you groaned, slipping farther down in your seat. lily sympathetically patted your back when her phone started buzzing.

"oh it's marlene," lily mentioned, picking up her phone to reply. the two were the grossest couple to be around; you still put up with it though.

"what's she saying?" you laid your head on your arms on the table in front of you, tilted in a way that you could see lily rapidly type something.

"oh lord, you're probably gonna love marlene more than i do at this point - she knows someone who needs a roommate!"

"so you're james potter?" you ask, flashing a smile at the bespectacled boy, his messy brown hair seemed messy in the way that he spent two hours minimum every morning on it.

"yep, pleasure to meet you." he reached out his hand, mirroring your grin. charming.

"the pleasure's all mine." you shook his hand, his grip was warm and firm. and he was handsome. and lean. and tall.

"let me show you around." he guided you inside, showing you the kitchen which was open and connected to the lounge. the two bedrooms were on opposite ends of the house and each had their own bathroom which you were extremely thankful for.

after the (short) tour, you both ended up sitting on the stools around the kitchen island drinking soft drinks from the fridge.

"so, what is it that you do?" you asked, wiping the condensation from the can on your dark jeans. the white tee you wore was sticking to your skin from the heat. you'd have to ask about the air con later.

"i'm doing photography at uni. what about you?" he said, taking another a sip of his cherry-flavored drink. you don't get how he could like something so sweet.

"literature. i met lily in my first class actually." you remember the sparkling redhead who somehow wiggled into your life and never left.

"ah, mckinnon's girl, right?" he asked, as if he vaguely remembered lily from a group hangout.

"yeah." with that you fell into a slightly awkward silence although you both didn't mind the quiet. you could hear the fizz of your drinks, as you both drank. you looked straight ahead, only looking at him through your peripheral vision. he, apparently, didn't know of such etiquette because he rested his head on his arm on the kitchen island, staring at you openly.

you tried to ignore it but now the heat was getting to you and your jeans started to feel uncomfortable. your can of coldness was empty. james was still staring. you zeroed in on one of the fridge magnets even though you couldn't really make out what was it trying to show because of the distance.

"does the air con not work?" you turned your head to look at him. at the sound of your voice, he lifted his head and grinned.

"no, it works." his answer made you feel a little ridiculous. and here you thought you were being considerate, assuming his air con broke or something.

"then why don't you have it on?"

"i don't get hot that easily." this man was getting even more ridiculous. you couldn't help but laugh.

"oh my god. go," you shove him off his stool, "turn it on for me?" you tilt your head, looking at him through your eyelashes in a last-ditch effort to persuade him.

"'m going." you blow a kiss noisily, getting up and grabbing both empty cans and throwing them in the dustbin.

later, you settled into bed. half your things were still packed into flimsy cardboard boxes that lily helped tape to perfection. you were grinning as you pulled out your phone to message lily.

u were right i probably love marlene more than you do rn

saw this and since i'm in love with your writing i'm gonna request something. (i'm also writing something based on a taylor swift song :3)

i love sirius black and i do not see enough fluff with that guy 😭so can i get a fic based on gorgeous ?

have a great day and feel no pressure <3

gorgeous - sirius black

❥ pairings; sirius black x fem!reader, fem!reader x some random guy

❥ summary; you have a boyfriend who's great and everything but he does not make you feel the way sirius black does.

❥ warnings; cheating (not on each other but with each other)

❥ word count; 1, 173

❥ a/n; this is kinda short and shitty i'm sorryyyy. also based off gorgeous by miss americana

"you talk funny," you grinned at sirius, leaning against your hand, a red plastic cup could be found in your other one, filled with whiskey.

you two were sitting on a sofa in the living room of james house. the said boy was throwing a birthday party and invited what seemed like thousands of people.

"what d'ya mean?" he asked, smiling as he ran his hand through his beautiful long hair.

"i dunno," you shrugged. "it's just something about the way you talk. you should take it as a compliment, though."

"of course." he took a sip of his drink. "nothing else from you." sirius noticed how you were staring at his lips, biting yours as you did so.

he leaned closer to you but as your noses were touching, you pulled away, shaking your head.

"no, sirius, i have a boyfriend," you murmured and sent him a sad look, pouting.

he sighed and glanced at his lap. "so you keep reminding me."

"if you didn't try to kiss me, i wouldn't have to!" you deffended yourself.

sirius ignore that. instead he asked, "where is he anyway?"

"in the club, doing i don't know what," you replied. "we had a fight earlier."

he hummed, not trying to find out about what. if you wanted him to know, you would've told him.

"i'm sorry about that."

you snorted, seeing right through him. "you're not."

sirius nodded. "you're right. i'm not."

you groaned and rolled your eyes. "god, i hate you so much."

"you don't."

"you're right. i don't."

gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous

you avoided sirius the next week at another party. this time, it was his and the reason he was throwing it was simply boredom.

you didn't want to come at first as you had plans with your boyfriend. the plans were to order food and binge on the new season of you two's favourite tv show. however, he got called up into work just after a few minutes the food arrived.

when your friend marlene heard that, she insisted you had to come. with a groan, you rolled off the sofa and got ready.

you found yourself standing in front of sirius's house at around 9pm and the party was already wild. black was known for throwing the best parties after all.

you walked in and were immediately greeted by lily and marlene who were a bit tipsy, giggling at everything.

from the corner of your eye, you saw sirius registering your arrival. with a smile on his lips, he started making his way to you. before he could even reach you, you grabbed your friends by their hands and dragged them into another room and then getting lost in the crowd when he tried to look for you.

there were more times like this when you got lost and it didn't take sirius long to realize you were avoiding him.

the first time he got to confront you was when you were leaving the bathroom and he managed to get you alone in the hall with a little space to escape. you cursed under your breath.

"you're avoiding me," he spoke and shiver went down your spine at his unusually cold voice.

"i'm not," you mumbled so quietly that hhe almost didn't hear you. but he did, he alays did.

"yes, you are!" he raised his voice a little. you were getting on his nerves with this. "come on, love, what did i do to make you avoid m-"

"y/n! come back!" marlene yelled at you and you thanked god for marlene fucking mckinnon.

before sirius could even turn back to face you, you were already slipping through the space between him and the wall. you know he tried to get hold of your wrist to stop you from walking away because you felt his fingers on your wrist. his touch set your soul on fire.

the next time he confronted you was when you, him and your whole friend group were sitting in a circle and catching up.

sirius was going absolutely mad. you didn't even look at him! you were talking to everyone but him and he was going insane.

as you were in conversation with james and remus, you could see that sirius was glaring at you from the corner of your eye. he looked as if he tried to kill you with his looks, not even pretending to listen to the pretty girl sitting on his lap. you couldn't deny that the sight of him made you a bit jealous. okay, not a bit. a lot.

before you could register he stood up, hushing the girl away and then and walking over to you, his voice filled your ears.

"this is not funny, y/n, stop ignoring me,"

you glanced up at him, his ocean blue eyes piercing into yours. if you were looking into them a bit more longer, you might have as well sunk, drowned and died.

"oh, hey, sirius," you smiled warmly, hoping to defuse the tension. for a moment, you swore you could see sirius's features softening but with a shake of his head, he grew serious (hahah) again.

"don't 'oh, hey sirius' me," he said. by this moment, james and remus have already gone away. "you've been ignoring me the entire night so don't you try to look all pretty to try to make me forget about it." he reached for your wrist and pulled you away from everyone. "i'm angry with you."

you looked down at your feet and sighed. "i'm just-"

"no, none of that." sirius brought his fingers under your chin and lifted it. "look at me while you're speaking to me, yeah?"

your cheeks turned bright red as you put his hand away. "this is exactly why i'm avoiding you!" he raised his eyebrow at you. "you always flirt with me or act like you're my boyfriend or try to kiss me," you said, referencing to what happened the week before. "i'm so furious at you for making me feel this way. and it would've been much easier for me if you weren't so goddamn gorgeous."

sirius was now looking at you with wide eyes, processing all the information you gave him in your rant.

you stared at him, waiting for him to reply.

"say somethi-"

sirius pressed his lips against yours.

and you knew you shouldn't have but you kissed him back.

it was something you've never felt before. when you kissed your boyfriend, it didn't seem like anything special and you felt bad for feeling like that. but when sirius kissed you, the time stopped and it was only you and him. his fingers tangled in your hair and you whimpered into his mouth.

you two pulled away from each other to catch air. you breathed heavily, smiling at the boy whose blood rushed into his cheeks. he looked even more gorgeous like that.

"well, i don't know how about you but i'm heading home," you sighed. "alone," you said and watched his mouth open in shock. you smirked. "unless you wanna come along?"

There it is....

An excerpt from my longer fic, Long Story Short (rated M, Wolfstar, Dorlene, and Jegulus)

James’s face was unreadable. “Pads…what did you do?” He asked, pulling away from Sirius a bit.

Sirius opened and shut his mouth, trying to form words to explain everything that had happened. He decided to just rip off the band-aid. “I walked in on Moony kissing Fabian Prewett last night,” he started.

James, however, reacted quite more like he’d wanted Marlene to. “WHAT?” He yelled loudly, his mouth falling open.

Sirius would’ve smiled, if the situation wasn’t so out-of-control. Trust James to react exactly like he needed him to. He sighed and responded, “Yup.”

“Our Moony?” James confirmed, still looking shocked.

“Mhm.”

“Remus Lupin?”

“Do you know any others?”

“No, I just–well, okay, then.”

Sirius heaved a breath, trying to calm himself and organize his brain, which felt like some sort of large system of river rapids, swirling and frothing and bubbling uncontrollably. “Yeah, so I told Marlene. Just now.”

But James was again having big emotions. “You told McKinnon before me? Padfoot, what the hell!” He looked murderous.

“I–I figured it was Moony’s place to tell you and Marlene obviously gets it,” Sirius explained, though he wasn’t exactly sure why he was compelled to tell Marlene first.

James calmed a bit. “Okay, fine, I guess that’s forgivable, but why is she pissed, then?”

Sirius hesitated. How to explain? “I…I told her, but I was…I was upset, when I told her. Because, it’s Moony, yeah? K–kissing someone.” His hands clenched again at the thought of Remus kissing someone.

James nodded, but didn’t look like he understood at all. He stayed quiet, however. Sirius really loved him for that.

“So…she said something…something ridiculous, Prongs. Something…like, fucking mad.” Sirius took a breath.

James looked at him, eyebrows raised, waiting.

Sirius said nothing, hardly able to voice the absurdity of Marlene’s idea. She was so far off-base, so irrational, so…

“What’d she say, Sirius?” James asked, looking both curious and nervous.

“She said…she said I was upset because I liked Remus.”

After Sirius said this, he expected James to laugh. He expected James to smile and maybe poke a bit of fun at Marlene and talk about how she had no idea what he was talking about. He expected James to react somewhat rationally.

So, when James just wrinkled his forehead a bit, as if Sirius had been a Professor sharing some new, but thought-provoking, information to him during a lecture, Sirius wanted to punch him, as well.

“I do not like Remus!” Sirius exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air, thoroughly annoyed. Had everyone gone crazy today?

“Padfoot, you…you sleep in his bed,” James whispered softly.

Remus’s bed was warm. And safe and comfortable. A nice place to sleep. And when Remus accidentally spooned him while they were sleeping, it stopped him from having nightmares. So what?

“I sleep in your bed, too, doesn’t mean I want to–” Sirius started, angrily.

“You insist on staying with him in the Hospital,” James continued, voice a bit stronger now.

“I–I care about his safety! Forgive me for being a good friend!” Sirius argued, heat rising to his face.

“You…pouted for hours that one time he wouldn’t play with your hair. You steal his shirts to sleep in. You–”

“That doesn’t mean anything,” Sirius yelled, face bright red, now. It wasn’t his fault, after all, that Remus was the best at playing with his hair, or that his shirts had a calming effect on him. It was just…close friendship.

“D’you get upset when you think about me kissing someone?” James retorted. “Or Pete?”

“Urgh, no,” Sirius responded quickly, before thinking about it. “As long as it isn’t in my bed, that would be–”

“And Remus? What if he was kissing someone? Even a girl? How would you feel?”

Sirius’s insides heated up unpleasantly. No, Remus kissing someone was not a great thought. “That’s…that’s different because…because I’m more protective of him…because of his…his problem! Yes, that’s it!” Relief washed through Sirius. It made sense, after all. “I want to make sure he’s treated right, is all.”

James gave Sirius a maddeningly patronizing look. “Mhm,” he nodded sarcastically.

Sirius clenched his fists. “I’m not—you’re not—this is—this is stupid, Prongs. I don’t–”

“What if he was kissing you, Padfoot? What then?” James asked, eyebrows raised.

“That’s ridiculous! Why would he–?” Sirius objected, throwing his hands in the air again.

James interrupted, “It doesn’t matter! Just think about it! How would you feel?”

It was the first time Sirius had allowed himself to indulge in the thought. He pushed his mother’s screaming out of his head and pondered for a moment. What if he and Remus kissed? Remus’s strong hands in his hair, Remus’s lips moving against his own, his body pressed against him…possibly pinning him to a wall, pushing him against it roughly, both of them groaning as their hands moved lower–

Fuck.

That did not make him angry.

“Fuck,” Sirius whispered softly, hand covering his mouth. Suddenly, all he wanted to do was kiss Remus. He wanted to know what it would feel like, to have Remus’s lips on his, to trace his fingertips along the planes of his chest, to be so close to him that he could breathe him in. “Oh, fuck,” he repeated.

“There it is,” James whispered softly, eyes sparking with amusement.

Oh fuck, Sirius liked Remus.

Sirius liked Remus.

“Oh, kill me,” Sirius murmured desperately. He couldn’t do this.

Read the whole thing here!

August 10th, 1976

Remus forgave Sirius over the summer. She wasn’t sure of the specifics, nor did she pry, but the four boys had apparently spent time together at Potter Manor and fought it out. James had invited her to visit, a few times actually, to which she politely declined each and every letter. She just couldn’t see Sirius. Though the incident had been months prior, the rage was still there, waiting just under the surface for her to break. She didn’t ask Remus why he had decided to speak to Sirius again, frankly she didn’t care, his reasons were his own. He had tried to explain parts of Sirius’ alleged reasoning behind the betrayal, calling it a “prank gone wrong”, but she shut him down quickly. There was no excuse for what he did, and the attempt to blame it on Sirius’ lingering trauma was a slap in the face after all of the time she had spent consoling and helping him heal from his family. The progress she thought they had made was for nothing. He had proven his parents right, he was truly the heir to the noble House of Black.

The summer was relaxing otherwise, and she was able to spend a lot of time with her parents, much to their elation. The three of them went on weekly excursions to museums and parks, soaking up culture and experiencing all that the muggle world had to offer. She hadn’t realized how much she’d missed it. In early August, they took a trip to the British Museum to see a new opening of a show on Impressionism. As her mother stood entranced by the pastel hued works, she snuck off to wander the halls. On one of the upper floors, there was a nearly deserted gallery dedicated to prints and drawings, and she almost sighed with relief at finally being away from crowds of people.

Posting up on one of the slatted wooden benches, she pulled out her sketchbook and began to draw. When she finished a delicate rendition of a Circe print that had caught her eye, she tapped the book covertly with her wand, showing it to Remus. A few short moments later he replied in his normal scratchy handwriting.

She reminds me of you.

She bit back a laugh, scribbling a note back to him, How so?

A few moments lingered again.

Powerful sorceress, good with herbs and potions, loves to hang out with animals.

I’m a witch, not a sorceress, Remus.

She could practically hear his laughter through the paper, You’re splitting hairs, love.

He followed the message with a crudely drawn doodle of a wolf, a stag, a little rat, and a dog. At least...she assumed that’s what it was.

———

September 1st, 1976

For the first time in her Hogwarts career, she sat with Lily, Mary, and Marlene in their compartment on the way to school. She had spotted the boys on the platform upon arrival, offering a small wave to Remus, Peter, and James. When she had turned to follow Lily onto the train, James yelled for her, voice laden with confusion. He must’ve thought the summer would have tampered her feelings. She looked back to see Remus whispering in his ear, James nodding to her in understanding.

Sirius stood behind them, watching her from afar.

During the feast that night, she ate amongst her fellow Hufflepuffs, the house that she loved and admired, but still did not feel quite at-home in. Across the Great Hall, her friends were laughing, and her heart began to break.

———

September 24th, 1976

Remus was practically on his knees begging. So far, he’d harassed her at breakfast, in the corridor after her first class, and again at lunch. Now he was caging her between his arms against a pillar in the central hall, pleading with her to come to a party in Gryffindor Tower that night.

“Please, please, pleaseeeeee!” He whined, “Please don’t leave me alone with them.”

She sighed, “I said no, Remus.”

“But it’s Peter’s birthday party, he’ll be upset if you’re not there.”

She cut him a look, “He’ll get over it, I promise.”

“Please,” he stooped down to her eye level, “I’m begging you. I’ll owe you for life. Just come with me to the party, you can stay by my side and I won’t even let Sirius near you.”

She almost winced at his name.

“Remus…” She didn’t want to think about Sirius. Didn’t want to breathe the same air as him. Just seeing him in passing was like being stabbed in the gut repeatedly. She wasn’t sure if she could weather it.

Remus’ eyes softened, “I know, I’m sorry. I just…I’ve missed you being around, and I know James and Pete have too. You can’t stay away from us forever, you’re an honorary Marauder.”

A laugh burst out of her mouth, “I’m sorry, a what?”

He smiled, “The Marauders. It’s the name we came up with over the summer at James’. Well, he came up with it, we all just went along when he wouldn’t stop saying it.”

“That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard,” she chuckled again.

Remus laughed too and hugged her, “I know it is, but you’re a part of it too. I need you, the boys need you. Please come tonight.”

She melted into his embrace, savoring the warmth that only seemed to radiate from Remus.

“Fine,” she groaned, earning herself a squeeze and a kiss on the top of her head.

“Brilliant, I’ll see you at 9,” and Remus finally let go and shot her a satisfied wink before he ran off to class.

———

She’d been to so many Gryffindor parties that she couldn’t keep track, and each one had felt like a house party filled with her closest friends, no matter the occasion. Tonight though, she felt like she was walking into the lions den (no pun intended). The rhythm of her heart threatened to drown out the booming sound of The Ramones blaring through the common room. Even though it was Pete’s birthday party, Sirius had clearly commandeered the music selection.

She searched for Remus, finally landing on his shaggy brown hair sitting next to James near the fire. Pushing through bodies, she dropped between her two friends with a dramatic sigh.

“There she is!” James yelled, spilling some sort of amber liquid on the floor. He grabbed her face and kissed her cheek aggressively.

She laughed and shook him off, “Are you pissed?”

James smiled, his eyes starting to become distant, “I’m gettin’ there.”

Remus leaned in to whisper in her ear “This is precisely why I needed you here. I can’t deal with all of them drunk off their asses.”

She let out another laugh as she noticed Lily stalking across the room towards the record player, stopping the needle abruptly.

The loud shout from the other side of the common room could only be one person.

“Oi! Evans! What’re you doing!” Sirius grabbed the record from her hands like a precious jewel.

Lily pulled out another album, flashing him a wicked smile, “I’m trying to liven up this party with some dancing.”

When the needle hit, Abba began to play, leading to a loud shriek from a few girls around the party, including herself and Mary. Lily met her eyes from across the room and held out an inviting hand.

She paused for a minute, knowing that Sirius was within earshot, knowing he would be watching.

Fuck it.

She leapt up and grabbed Lily’s hand, the two of them spinning and moving to Waterloo. Mary and Marlene flanked them, the latter dragging Dorcas along and coercing her to join in. She forgot about the party, forgot about the room entirely, and most importantly, she forgot about Sirius. All she knew was her friends dancing beside her, laughing and smiling. She briefly locked eyes with Peter, standing behind the couch and laughing along to their dancing. Wiggling her fingers in his direction she called to him, “C’mon birthday boy, dance with me!” Pete beamed and spun her around, falling into step easily. He was a particularly good dancer, much to her surprise.

“How’d you get so good at this?” she said over the music. Pete spun her wide, pulling back to have her pressed to his chest as they swayed.

“Perks of growing up with an older sister, I suppose,” he laughed into her ear.

She smiled, the first genuine one she’d had in a while.

“I’m glad you came tonight,” Pete said quietly, “I’ve missed you, it’s been weird not having you around.”

She reached up and scratched his head fondly. Pete leaned down and kissed her cheek, finally giving her one last twirl. As the music faded and the room stopped spinning, her eyes landed on Sirius holed up in a corner of the room, tossing back what she knew wasn’t his first firewhisky. His eyes never left hers as the glass drained down his throat.

When the next song began to play, she sat back beside Remus, out of breath but feeling rejuvenated. James had gotten up and was now talking to Lily, who it seemed had finally begun speaking to him again, a small blush creeping up her freckled face.

Remus put his arm around her, “It’s good to see you smile again.”

She leaned her head on his shoulder, listening as a few 3rd years began to sing along to Sitting In The Palmtree, and relaxed.

———

If James Potter was one thing, he was a man of his word; and that man was good and truly pissed within the first hour of her being at the party. Her and Remus watched him from the window, dancing and singing atop a table to Elton John.

“He’s actually not bad,” Remus mused, fishing a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He held one out, which she accepted as they both watched James spin around, using a bottle as a microphone.

She hummed as Remus lit both cigarettes, propping open the window to blow smoke out into the cold air.

“So,” He took a drag and side-eyed her, “are you happy you came?”

She flicked at the filter, not wanting to give Remus the satisfaction of being right.

“Yes…” she mumbled, taking another drag and refusing to look at him.

She heard him laugh quietly beside her, leaning over to kiss her head, “I’m glad. I want things to go back to normal.”

She sighed a trail of smoke, the tendrils curling around her face as she stared out into the night. “I’m not sure if it can, Moony. Maybe it can get better, but it can’t be like it was.”

Remus didn’t push her, just stood in companionable silence as they watched the stars. She tossed her cigarette butt out the window, the embers dancing in the breeze.

“It’s fuckin’ freezing,” She rubbed her arms, “Mind if I borrow one of your jumpers?”

Remus took a final pull of his cigarette and nodded, “Go ahead, you know where they are, top drawer.” He motioned towards the boys dorm.

She weaved through the (now mostly drunk) partygoers, grabbing Lily once to twirl her around before heading up the stairs to the boys bedroom. The sound of people at the top of the spiral staircase made her cringe, she didn’t feel like walking through two horny 4th years trying to get off in the solitude of the upper levels. As she turned the corner to the top landing, she came face to face with a pretty blonde entangled with a dark haired boy. The girls’ hands were fumbling with his pants as he moved to kiss up her neck sloppily. Even from across the landing she could tell both of them were completely drunk.

“Can you two have intercourse somewhere else? Maybe somewhere more private?” She called, moving towards the dormitory door.

The boy looked up and she froze. Sirius’s blue eyes shot through her and for a moment, she couldn’t breathe. For what felt like an eternity, he stared at her, and she could have sworn something like longing flickered behind his drunken gaze. As quickly as she saw it, it was gone, replaced by a smug expression that she had seen Regulus wear too many times to count.

“C’mon Em,” he slurred, “Let’s go to my room.”

“You can at least wait until I leave, you know,” she shot at him, surprising even herself.

Sirius turned around slightly as he opened the dormitory door, “What’re you even doing up here?” His voice was cold, and it shook her to the core.

“Remus said I could borrow one of his jumpers,” she muttered, suddenly feeling so small under his scrutiny.

Without another word, Sirius dragged the blonde girl into the dormitory, collapsing onto his bed. The girl climbed on top of him and they resumed the exploration of each other’s mouths.

The last thing she wanted was to be seen as weak, let alone by Sirius fucking Black of all people. She squared her shoulders and strode to Remus’ closet, making a loud show of finding the right drawer containing his jumpers. As she aggressively slammed one of them shut, Sirius moaned loudly. He was playing the game too, it seems.

Ripping a green and brown jumper from the top drawer, she spun around to find him glancing up at her from beneath the girl, eyes challenging as his hands continued to roam her body.

She wouldn’t let him win this.

She tore off her shirt and tossed it onto the floor, standing in the center of the room in just jeans and a bra and stared back at him, face cool and expressionless. She stood there for a beat, watching as Sirius’ mouth went slack, causing his partner to whine against his lips. At the sight of his barely contained shock, his eyes briefly jumping from her face to her chest, she pulled Remus’ jumper over her head and stormed out, slamming the door behind her.

———

October 15th, 1976

Emmeline Vance had a death wish, though she didn’t know it. Apparently the fondling during Peter’s birthday party wasn’t a one time thing, and the blonde was now an almost constant fixture at their table in the Great Hall. The entire situation made everyone uncomfortable, but none of them had the guts to tell Sirius to cut it off. The little Ravenclaw sat in his lap, her favorite seat apparently, and her hands would be on him in some capacity at all times.

The sight of them made her physically ill, so after a week of trying to suck it up and just not look at his side of the table, she decided to sit with the Hufflepuffs, much to Remus and James’ frustration.

She didn’t like Emmeline, it wasn’t like when Sirius had dated Mary a few years ago. Mary was fun, and witty, and could match Sirius on his attitude any day. Emmeline was a parrot, just giggling and repeating everything he said, no real opinion or thoughts on any topic. The worst thing about her though, was that she was mean. Not cruel in the way that Regulus and his group of assholes were, but she was rude and stuck-up, especially to younger years. One morning, a small 1st year had accidentally bumped her with their schoolbag when leaving the Great Hall, and Emmeline had shot them a death glare and spat “Watch where you’re going, idiot.” The first year scuttled off, looking on the verge of tears.

She almost leapt across the table and strangled her. But if that was the type of girl Sirius wanted, then fine.

The rest of the group largely ignored them, not that Emmeline seemed to mind, she only cared about touching Sirius, kissing Sirius, groping Sirius, and licking Sirius (as they all had the pleasure of witnessing early one Wednesday morning; Peter had choked on his tea).

She tried to move on, tried training her heart to not reach for Sirius every time she passed him in the corridors. At times when he would creep into her thoughts, she quickly shut down an impenetrable wall of steel, blocking out the memories of him entirely; the color of his eyes, the sound of his laugh, the feeling of his chest rising and falling as he slept.

Eventually, Sirius became an afterthought, a bookmark in a chapter of her life that she had closed. And slowly, but surely, she moved on.

To be disappointed

I just feel sad, so everyone has to feel sad. Warning: Angst

"JAMES! FLEAMONT! POTTER!" The boys' very angry girlfriend shouted as she stormed up the stairs, pushing a terrified Moony and Wormtail to the side.

She slammed the door open and there sat with Sirius both sporting a frightened expression. "I can explain!" James shouted with his hands up in surrender.

"You can?!" She shouted outraged.

"...Sirius can explain!" He shouted as the other shouted in reply, "Prongs!" He hit James's chest.

"It was an accident!" James said, as he and Sirius slowly backed away.

"Accident?!" She shouted outraged.

"Yes?" Sirius said weakly as James hit him on the back of his head.

"Let me get this straight, you accidentally set fire to the astronomy tower?" Y/n said angerly, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes! Total accident!" The two said. They watched as Peter and Remus watched from the door way with terrified expressions.

"And this had nothing to do with your stupid fued with the Slytherins?"

"Okay! That 'fued' isn-" Marlene began but stopped short when Y/n faced her with a look that could make Dumbledore step back and the faces of Sirius and James motioning 'No' with their mouth and hands.

"POTTER! BLACK!" Professor McGonagall shouted as she angerly made her way up. "OUT of my way, Miss McKinnon!" She said pushing Remus and Peter stumbling back.

"Professor!" Sirius said hopefully but stepped back when he saw her rage-filled face.

"Don't "Professor!" me, Black! What were you bloody thinking?!" She shouted as she stepped next to Y/n.

"According to them, it was an 'accident'." Y/n said, dangerously calm.

McGonagall head snapped to them, "Accident?! You call that ! An accident?!!"

Both boys mentally decided to stay quiet, knowing it was the safest options.

"Professor McGonagall, it was an accident. And since it was an accident they should personally and publicly apologise to all the Slytherins and Ravenclaws for both disrupting their class and endangering their life. And instead of detention, they can assist the Slytherins and Ravenclaws with any educational problem they have considering they were responsible for burning their notes." Y/n said as both the boys' face's contorted into disbelief, plead and shock.

Professor McGonagall stared at the girl in approval, "That is an excellent punishment, Miss L/n." Both boys stared at the Head of their House in shock and pleading face's.

"However-" Both boy's looked at her in hope. "I'd like to add a punishment of my own. 50 points. . .Each." McGonagall said watching Sirius and Jamss make a pained sound, before turning on her heel and leaving.

"Y/n..." James began but she only raised a finger and shut him up.

"Ah! I don't wanna hear a sound out of you. Either of you. Have you two gone insane?! There were people in that tower! Someone could've died! This Slytherin-Gryffindor fued needs to stop! We are graduating next year! There is an upcoming war! People are already dying. I know that wasn't an accident and I know that you were planning on setting Snape's hair on fire...I'm very disappointed in you. You promised me you'd end this! You promised..." She ranted angrly but at the end her voice fell and tears began to form, which made both boys look down in shame.

"..Y/n.." James began but she stepped back and wiped away any traces of tears. "You have a speech to write and it better be a good one." She said, she then faced Remus and Peter.

"I'm disappointed in you two, as well. I could've expected this from Sirius and James, maybe even Peter with peer pressure but not you Remus." Y/n said softly her face filled with disappointment as all four boys looked anywhere but her heart-breaking face.

"Anything you wanna say?" She asked the four as she sniffled. "No? Okay." She left.

Should I make a pt.2?

Short Wolfstar Angst

Warning: Major Character Death

Many people came.

Dumbledore is there, though instead of the usual glint, there's a heaviness in his eyes. He's still showing the marks of his Final Battle with Lord Voldemort, and he's getting looks from all around the hall. He's sitting next to professor McGonagall. Remus knows they all had to grow up fast, but it is only now that he notices also professor McGonagall has aged much throughout this.

Edgar is there, sitting next to his sister. It means a lot that he's there. After being held in captivity by the Death Eaters for weeks, he's still afraid to be in public places, still afraid to even leave the house. Amelia is constantly squeezing his hand, trying to ground him.

Marlene is there. Remus knows the Healers at St Mungo’s were reluctant to let her leave, but try saying no to Marlene McKinnon when she's got something in her head.

There are many people there. The hall is packed. Some of the people who greet Remus, he only vaguely recognizes. People they went to school with? People they've seen at work? Maybe even people they've saved on a rescue mission.

Minister for Magic Millicent Bagnold takes the stage, her voice magically amplified as she speaks. "As Sirius Black battled the Death Eaters, he knew he was outnumbered, he knew he could not hold out for long, he knew it was a losing battle.

He knew.

And he could have disapparated at any time, could easily have fled. But he stayed. He stayed and he fought. He fought so that more Muggles could be evacuated, more people could be brought to a secure place, more lives could be saved.

Thanks to Sirius Black, children were reunited with their parents, families were not torn apart, and people today still have future."

The silence that follows is interrupted by little Harry throwing his hands up in the air and loudly squealing "Uuuupaaaafoooo!"

The hall dissolves into laughter, and the heaviness of the moment dissipates.

James smiles down fondly at his son sitting in his lap, and Lily reaches out to ruffle the little boy's hair.

From the stage, Minister Bagnold also smiles at Harry. "And I fully agree with that, young mister Potter." She looks around the hall. "It is therefore, with great honour and pride, that I have the privilege to present Sirius Orion Black, for his acts of outstanding bravery, with the highest distinction known in the Wizarding World; The Order of Merlin First Class."

The hall bursts out in applaus, and everyone who's able to gets up to their feet, clapping for Sirius as hard as they can.

Remus is drinking his second mug of coffee. He made too much for one person again.

He still always makes too much.

He studies the medal placed in front of him. Beautiful, shining, made out of solid gold, a green ribbon attached to indicate its class.

The first Order of Merlin to have ever been awarded posthumously.

"I'm proud of you, Pads," Remus says softly. He closes his eyes for a moment, forcing himself to slowly inhale and then exhale.

It still gets so bloody hard to breath sometimes.

He opens his eyes again. "But am I terribly selfish for wishing you hadn't done it?"

💋 WLW Wed: Fake Pretend Dating 💋

A biweekly HP femslash rec list made by the lovely members of the HP SAFFICS (18+) discord server. See all previous rec lists in the WLW Library.

Currently: Fake Dating Previously: Pride (see list)

—

💄 Long (>10k) 💄

Killing Me Softly by @looktotheedges [Hermione/Narcissa, M, 96.7k]

When Ginny gets hurt in a wronski feint gone wrong, Hermione is on hand to take her away from the swarming fans and straight to a quieter part of St Mungo's. Where the only mediwitch around is Narcissa Black. Healer and master legilimens. And apparently Hermione's thoughts are rather loud. Oops.

Distractions by @morningsound15 [Hermione/Ginny, T, 86.7k]

Ron and Hermione have recently broken up, and Ginny — concerned for her best friend — has decided that the only thing for Hermione to do now is to date someone new to make Ron jealous. And who better than Hermione’s best friend (and coincidentally Ron’s younger sister) to drive him absolutely mental?

sometimes you amaze me by burstofpeony [Hermione/Pansy, T, 54.3k]

Hermione’s on track to become the youngest Minister of Magic in history. There’s just one issue-- the polls hate her. Well, the polls hate her gayness, specifically. When a solution is presented that could fix everything, who’s she to decline?

Rumour Has It by Melacka, @artymakeart, @showknight [Hermione/Ginny, T, 31.2k] WITH ART!

Ginny accidentally outs Hermione to the whole Wizarding World. Fake dating shenanigans ensue.

i was born for this by toulouser [Marlene/Dorcas, T, 18.7k]

The one where Dorcas becomes Remus' fake girlfriend to make Sirius jealous. Turns out, she was trying to make someone else jealous as well.

Trust A Few by @violetclarity [Hermione/Pansy, T, 13.2k]

Hermione has a pregnant adopted sister, parents who don’t believe she’s bisexual, and a crush the size of the Great Lake on Pansy Parkinson. Taking Pansy up on her offer to be Hermione’s fake date to her parents’ Christmas dinner could solve at least one of those problems...but it could also make everything worse.

—

🌹 Medium (3-10k) 🌹

Sincerity of Feeling by @bafflinghaze [Fleur/Hermione, G, 5.6k]

“That is correct. I am going to the Yule Ball with Hermione Granger. Now run along, you little boys.” She flipped back her hair and strode past them, and this time, stopped for none.

Catching the Snitch by abluestocking [Padma/Ginny, G, 5.5k]

In which a Ministry dinner, a sibling rivalry, and a Quidditch tournament changed the course of Padma Patil's life in a way she never expected.

she wears shorts skirts by @thelizbian [Marlene/Dorcas, M, 5.3k]

Regulus Black- Dorcas's best friend and next door neighbor, 4.5 GPA despite skipping a grade, soft at heart. Marlene McKinnon- Cheer captain, popular, smart, perfect. Dating Regulus? James Potter- Captain of the football team, popular, rich. Unlikely ally? Dorcas Meadowes- Confused as fuck.

Slytherin Altruism by @owlswithfins [Hermione/Pansy, T, 4.3k]

Suddenly someone slid into the booth across from her. “She,” the woman corrected, setting down her purse and smoothing her skirt. “Sorry I’m late, babe. You know how it is down at the Prophet.” Hermione’s mouth fell open as she stared dumbly at one Pansy Parkinson.

—

🍷 Short (<3k) 🍷

campanula by @fullmetalruby [Fleur/Tonks, G, 2.9k]

Campanula (bellflower)-- representative of gratitude, humility, attractiveness, and everlasting love.

Rescuing Pansy by anxiousgoat [Pansy/Tonks, G, 2.4k]

In which a sad Pansy is comforted by a hot genderfluid stranger who is very very happy to help her out.

Two Truths and a Lie by @karasunova [Hermione/Tonks, G, 1.5k]

It began with a favor, as these things are usually wont to do. (in which Hermione enters a fake dating scheme which turns into a real dating scheme which turns into much more than she bargained for)

More Than Just Maintaining Cover by knowyourincantations [Tonks/Ginny, M, 1.4k]

Tonks and Ginny frequently go undercover as a couple, but they've never had to sell it like this before.

Hi this may be niche and non existent but I am looking for wolf star fics where Sirius is hooking up/dating women (maybe Marlene). Remus has to see or hear stuff he doesn’t want to and gets jealous/ pines.

Happy ending w/ endgame wolf star if possible! Also ok if Sirius is hooking up with/dating men but I ask for women cuz it’s harder to find.

Thank you!!

Hi!

I don't have a ton of recs, but I did find a few. Hopefully this is what you're looking for!

Sirius/Marlene:

waited all this time to call you mine by ziahra [T, 121k] (You asked for pining Remus? You got it with this one)

In a world where everyone has a timer on their left wrist that counts down until the day realise they are in love with their soulmate, Remus falls in love with his soulmate 3 years before he reciprocates. Remus knew the timers were set in stone. They were inevitable, and there was nothing he could do to change the timer or speed up the process. And Sirius would return Remus’ feelings, eventually. Oh God. His timer had hit zero. And he had been thinking of Sirius. He was in love with Sirius. “Oh my God! Who was it?” Sirius begins to ask, but Remus can’t hear him. His ears are blocked with water, and his mind is far from the little rink in which they stand. Instead of trying to listen, he looks instead. He looks at Sirius’ wrist, where the numbers stare mockingly back at him. 27, 391 hours.

What I Heard by fishcommuter [E, 28k] (not 100% sure if this is exactly what you're looking for because it's on my to-read list still, but it might be)

Word on the street is Sirius is with Remus, but nobody bothered to tell either of them. Marlene, Sirius's actual girlfriend, thank you very much, is not thrilled. As the fall term settles into their last winter at school, things happen, feelings occur, Sirius and Remus are obviously in love, and the students of Hogwarts prove hard to surprise. Sirius switched on the ringer with his thumb and handed the phone back over. "Leave it on, okay?" "You have a map with my exact whereabouts at your disposal, you know this, yes?" "It can't get you to do things, though." "You can't get me to do things." "I can be very persuasive if you bother to read the messages." "You'd have separation anxiety if I bothered to read the messages." Sirius boffed him on the head. "Already do." He ducked this time.

Mutually Beneficial by clevernotbrilliant [T, 4k] (Does it count if the Sirius/Marlene is fake dating?)

Sirius Black is in love with Remus Lupin. Marlene McKinnon is in love with Emmeline Vance. The obvious solution? Date each other.

jimmy's party by orphan_account [G, 13k] (angst? angst.)

And he’s been expecting this, right? It’s been building for weeks; Remus has known this was coming. Eventually, even Sirius has grown tired of snogging girls in broom cupboards who’s names he takes a few seconds to recall when asked about them. If Marlene’s who he’s chosen, well..good. Marlene’s perfect for him, even Remus can see that. Sirius deserves someone like her. or: Remus isn’t jealous of Sirius and Marlene. On the contrary: he gets it. They look good together. So if they want to dance at the post-quidditch-match party, that’s alright. It’s fine, and Remus’ll demonstrate as such by having some fun of his own. Upcoming full moon be damned.

Reasons Why by silverbook [G, 3k]

Remus likes Marlene McKinnon, he really does. Except he also kinda hates her.

Now I Wanna Be Your Dog by pixelated [E, 20k] (this has Sirius/Marlene and also Remus/OC before the wolfstar endgame. They're both pining.)

Sirius clunks about in his Doc Martens and listens to The Stooges and smokes cigarettes and wears his hair much too long and spends more time serving detention than not. And is way too forward about his sudden feelings for Remus. (A story about teenagers and summer love in the 70s.)

The Boys of Summer by todaslasmadrugadas [T, 73k] (The Sirius/Marlene in this is rather short lived, but Remus is pining and it's a slow burn so... close enough?)

The Summer of 1978 was supposed to be the same as the previous one. And the one before that. Because, in the provincial village of Fenneltown, where 16-year-old Remus Lupin lives, nothing ever changes. Not really. Until this year, everything does.

Hey, Jealousy by BrianJustin4Ever [T, 1k]

Remus contends with his jealousy.

Sirius/OFC:

Jealousy, Jealousy by AshParadox [T, 924]

Remus has trouble focusing on what Lily is saying at the moment. His eyes are fixed on Sirius, who is in the middle of the room, dancing with some Hufflepuff girl. Remus feels a burning sensation in the pit of his stomach. “You should make him jealous.”

Drunken Mistakes (It Was Never A Mistake) by artemis143 [T, 3k]

It was Sirius Black's 16th birthday party and James Potter suggests that they play truth or dare

The Date by rhye [G, 422] (it's short but oh so ouchie)

Sirius has a date with a pureblood his mother wants him to marry. But he's also dating Remus. Remus watches him prepare for his date.

Honorable Mention (because it doesn't have pining Remus. It is, in fact, fake dating blackinnon from Marlene's POV. Wolfstar does get together though :) and the fic is good!) :

passionfruit by poppunkpadfoot [M, 4k]

“How would you feel about a free trip to France this summer?” “That depends. What’s the catch?” “It’s a trip with my family,” Marlene says. She can’t quite bring herself to look Sirius in the eye as she continues, “I’d be introducing you as my boyfriend.”

marlene mckinnon headcanons because we need more of her

has really long eyelashes and bangs. her mother keeps nagging her about cutting her hair, but she only does when it's so outgrown it annoys her

speaking of her mother, they never got along. deep within her, marlene always wanted to get alog with her mother, and she took a while to come to terms with the fact that her mother would never love her as much as she loves her brothers

she tends to come across as quiet and aloof to the people she's not friends with, and with the people she likes, she's either loud, to gain the attention she doesn't get at home, or really quiet, to not push them away

she's naturally a ginger. her hair is more of a strawberry blonde, though (lily felt absolutely betrayed when she found out)

has thick eyebrows that her mother gives her shit for and wanted to pluck them but mary said that they're gorgeous and that her mother is stupid so she decided to leave them like that and eventually love them

hates quills, uses pens, but chews on them all the time during class

i used to be a fan of short marlene but gangly and long marlene is just so superior

she always tucks / spreads her legs under the desk because if she tried to sit like a normal person she wouldn't be able to

she, peter and sirius and in a piercing alliance where they just give each other piercings whenever they feel like it

always has her hair tucked behind her ear because it gets so long it always gets in her face. they call her the midnight barber because she cuts everyone's hair (besides hers lmao, she only does it when it's absolutely necessary) (she does it during the night too)

she always does that thing where she puts her hand through her bangs and messes up her hair

she stress-bites her nails, her nails are always bitten, and the only way that she can stop herself from doing that is wearing nail polish

the biggest patti smith fan, had a huge crush on her too, listened to all of her albums. her music taste is mainly female artists/bands and punk

can diy basically whatever. she literally made earrings from her broken guitar picks

she has a red guitar named patti and she writes her own songs. most of them are just the music, some of them are lyrics too

cat person through and through. has a cat named prince that she took away with her when she moved in with dorcas. only likes big, dark, shaggy dogs (sirius)

has really, really faint freckles, they darken during the sumemr

she used to hate mary, especially when they were younger, but she grew closer to her than she ever was with anyone. when mary said she doesn't want to join the order and she distanced herself away from them, she was the most hurt. she sent mary the most letters, and, deep within her, hated her for never answering

has bad, but readable handwriting, and she can write really fast

seems really intimidating but is genuinely a really nice and cool person

#i love her so much she's my wet cat /pos #(seeing the fact that she is a cat person i think that was suitable to say 😭 i love her so so much though)#also if you want good hcs about marlene check enbysiriusblack!! they're a genius in marlene <3333 #he's great at her xe gets her like no one else they're majoring in marlene mckinnon #anyways enough rambling because i talk too much #marlene mckinnon #marlene mckinnon headcanons #headcanons
