My fave marauders ships and dynamics as a multi-shipper !! Ok so, there are certain ships I like to imagine as canon in the canon universe, and there are other ships that I prefer in aus and such but still ship them so much!! So I thought I’d just ramble abt them here lol.

My fave ships that are canon/I think I should be endgame:

First off, Jily ofc. My loves. I’m generally not super excited abt str8 couples but they’re just too cute. My fave dynamic with them is that they’re academic rivals — well at least lily thinks they are, James is just hopelessly in love with her and enjoys competition lol. Lily thinks he’s an idiot, immature and a bit of a bully at first but slowly warms up to him as she sees his kind-heartedness and stance on justice. Plus, she’s always found him a little hot :)

Wolfstar, duh. I don’t think I have to go into detail coz I already do so much on my blog lol.

Dorlene — aaah I love my tragic, angsty lil lesbians. Sucker for the quidditch-rivals-to-lovers trope. Ooh and i headcanon Dorcas as transfem. But yeah if you’ve read ‘the hands that feeds’ by rollercoasterwords that’s basically how I see their dynamic.

Fralice — cuties and did not deserve the ending they got ;((

Rosekiller — ok, ok. I know I’ve ranted abt how I don’t like the fanonization of their characters in fandom,, but I will admit I do like them together. Especially when they’re depicted as the awful people they are lol. I like to think that they’re still hooking up in GoF on nights where barty’s poly juice wears off lmaoo. Also random but I hc Barty to be in ravenclaw.

Pandora x Xenophillius (idk how to spell his name) — I like to imagine Pandora as a goth who runs an underground magical weed business and Xeno as a hippie weirdo and conspiracy theorist. Both are bi/pan tho and have def hooked up with ppl of the same gender before.

Andromeda x Ted Tonks — iconic. Love them. Andy was the og rebellious black family child.

Emmary — love, love this ship. For context, I picture Emmaline as a little older than Mary (maybe 2 or 3 years) and they meet when Em’s at the order. Mary’s a bisexual girlie who’s predominantly been with men at this point, and Em’s a big Butch lesbian who loves Mary so much but isn’t sure if Mary likes her back, at first. Ofc they end up together after the first war but when Em wants to join the second war, Mary oblivates herself and retreats to the muggle world entirely because she cannot bear more pain.

My fave ships that I like to think are semi-canon, as in their unrequited, or right person wrong time, or both have feelings that the other doesn’t know — they just don’t workout for some reason:

First off, Marylene — my absolute fave, right person, wrong time ship. Love the whole, ‘Marlene loved her too early, Mary loved her too late idea’. I’m a sucker for best friends to lovers ahhh. I imagine that Marls had crush on Mary since they were eleven and came out to her later, and although Mary was supportive she didn’t like her back at that point. Then Marls got with Dorcas and maybe Mary got a tad bit jealous. And then Marlene was killed ofc so Mary moved on and went with Emmaline, but she never really stopped loving Marlene.

Nobleflower — bi narcissa and Alice rights!! I like to think that they had a bit of a homoerotic friendship back in their hogwarts years, but the fact that they were on opposite sides eventually pulled them apart. And so Alice gets with Frank and Narcissa with Malfoy. Aaah so tragic I love them

Lily x Remus — I like to think Lily had a little crush on Remus when they were younger but she got over it and they became besties !!

Bellatrix / Lady Zabini — Toxic murder comphet lesbians!! Tho I imagine they ‘broke up’ their fling coz Bellatrix was murdering with pure blood fascism in mind,,, and lady Zabini was just like,, why can’t we just kill ppl for the sake of killing them?? 🥺🥺

Jegulus — ok so I don’t like jegulus as a canon(ish) ship, buuut I love me some unrequited jegulus, specifically from Regulus’ side coz sorry I just personally don’t see James ever liking Reg in canon. I imagine Reg goes into hogwarts wanting to hate the guy who stole his brother but ends up falling for him just the same. He has internalised homophobia and hates the fact that he’s gay, esp for someone like James lol.

Bartylus — My hc is that neither of them liked each other romantically, but they settled and got off each other to pass time. It’s transactional, at least it’s starts off being..maybe barty’s a little more into it than reg thinks they are.

Peter/Bertha Jorkins — I like to imagine they dated for awhile during hogwarts — until Bertha got bored of him and dumped him. Peter never really got over it and was still bitter.

Peter/Sybil — oooh I remember this one was trending on marauders tik tok awhile back but I’m still not over it. Happens after Bertha/Peter. Sybil breaks up with Peter maybe coz she gets a prophecy that he becomes evil. Peter is confused and heartbroken.

Snily — ok hear me out!! I don’t care for their portrayals in a lot of fics coz I think the pro / anti Snape bias is always there — but I would be open to exploring the complexity of their dynamic in a fic when snapes actions aren’t justified or excused, but he’s not portrayed as a one dimensional bad guy. And I think it would be interesting to explore more of Lily’s character and why she stuck by him so long.

Ok, now onto ships that I only enjoy in aus:

Marylily/macevans — by far my fave ship in aus. Best friends to lovers >>>> also half the marauders edits saved on my phone are marylily edits lmaoo they’re just so cute!!

Jegulus — requited this time!! If it’s an au and James is not reduced to a generic sunshine people pleasing character, then they’re a little cute I’ll admit. Not the biggest fan of the 'best friend's brother' trope but the drama is entertaining at least.

Mary/Dorcas — I don’t think they’re a very popular on here but I personally like it. In a way they’re opposites but they’re motivations are a lot more similar than they realise.

Pandalily — so, so cute. Fanart is spectacular

Dorlily — so academic rivals to lovers coded

Prongsfoot — specifically in aus where James and Sirius are on opposing sides, for example, slytherin!Sirius au

Wolfstarbucks — James and sirius share everything!! Including their lovers apparently. Mostly enjoy it as a crack ship tho.

Well this was fun!! I love multi-shipping <33

This or That Part 7

Harry Potter Marauders Era

Link to Part 6

Pairings: Regulus Black x Reader, Sirius Black x Reader

Rating: M- sensitive themes

_____

Slughorn’s party was well into its second hour when Lily realized that she had not seen you. She looked around for any sign of you. When she looked around for Regulus there was nothing there too. Lily turned to Sirius, who actually ended up coming with some Ravenclaw girl.

“Sirius, where is Y/n? I haven’t seen her nor Regulus.”

Sirius looked around and shrugged.

“My guess is she is somewhere underneath my brother.”

Lily rolled her eyes.

“Oh, please. You know that Y/n won’t get undressed in front of Regulus. She thinks her butt is too big and he’s taking things slow.”

Sirius shook his head as the Ravenclaw girl began to get annoyed with him talking to someone else of the female species.

“I’m telling you. Those two are off somewhere doing dirty things. I see how they are looking at each other. It doesn’t take a genius to figure it out. Anyhow, I hope one of them had the presence of mind to use a contraceptive charm. The last thing that we need is a half Regulus half Y/n creature running around here.”

(meanwhile)

You lay halfway across Regulus as he stroked his fingers through your messy hair. The two of you were after round two that lasted a lot longer than round one.

“That was nice.”

You said with a happy yawn. Regulus chuckled.

“Yes, it was. I could definitely get used to this.”

You sat up enough to look down at his handsome face.

“Do you believe in love now?”

“I think that you know the answer to that.”

Regulus replied. You reached down and stroked your hand over his cheek before going for another kiss. Regulus sighed against your lips happily before pulling you up for a deeper kiss.

Everything was going well until your hand stroked down his left arm. Regulus quickly broke away from the kiss and muttered “ ow” under his breath. You looked down and noticed the cuts on his wrists. The realization hit you like a brick! Your mind went back to that day by the lake when you noticed the scars but Regulus ignored your question.

“Regulus…”

He quickly sat up and his wrist in between his stomach and raised knees. Regulus didn’t want you to find out what he did to himself like this. The perfect evening was quickly going to hell! How was he supposed to tell you that he suffered from soul-sucking depression since childhood and this was his only “coping” tool?

“Forget it, Y/n.”

You shook your head and gently pulled his left hand back to you.

“Is this why you wouldn't answer my question that day?”

Regulus didn’t reply. He didn’t want to talk about this. Regulus didn’t want to tell you that his whole fucked up life caused him to be this way? Nothing had ever made him happy before From his parents with their pureblood mania, to his brother who ran away and didn’t care about him anymore, to the many MANY times that he had almost lost you...Regulus had no idea how to deal with the pain that he was going through. You wouldn't get it. No one ever understood. Even though you loved him, why would you be any different? Would you say “get over it” the way that his mother did or would you give him some look of contempt that his father did?

Meanwhile, you reached over to the side of the bed and grabbed your wand to heal the wounds. After a moment, Regulus’ pale skin was flawless again. You stroked your thumb over the scars before meeting his gaze.

“Reggie, you could really hurt yourself.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

He snapped. You shook your head before quickly climbing on his lap.

“It matters to me! I love you. How long have you been doing this?”

Regulus shrugged.

“Since I was 10 or 11. It's the only way that I could deal with everything. From Sirius being sorted into Gryffindor and how our parents reacted to all of the other fucked up things that I have had to deal with. Physical pain is a hell of a lot better than mental pain. You wouldn’t understand it all.”

You shook your head. What Regulus didn’t seem to realize was the fact that you would understand a lot more than he seemed to realize.

“Reggie, I understand depression. Think about the things that I have gone through. My brother is a werewolf. I never had a friend until I came here. I have to watch hell that Remus goes through every month and also be the forgotten child in my family. My parents are always worried about Remus, which I understand. I know how bad it can hurt.”

Regulus’ eyes rolled up to your face. He felt bad to admit it but he hadn’t even thought of how things had to be in your home.

“I guess you do. I had been really good about stopping. I’ve tried...I went for a long time but when we split up over Ambrosia...I couldn’t stop myself.”

You reached out and took his wrist back into your hand to press a series of kisses to his skin.

“How about the next time we have problems we talk them out instead of what happened? When you feel like doing this again...find me.”

Regulus smiled and cupped your face.

“You’re a pretty amazing girl, you know?”

He leaned forward and snuggled his nose against yours.

“I try. I don’t want to spend two weeks away from you during Christmas.”

You said, trying to stop the tears that had been threatening to spill. Regulus looked as sad as you did. He too had been thinking about the time that he would have to spend with his parents over Christmas with dread. There was no way that Regulus could tell his parents about you. They would flip the fuck out over you being a half-blood in addition to being a werewolf’s sister. Walburga and Orion Black would never accept you as a potential daughter-in-law. Their son’s happiness wouldn’t matter. Regulus hadn’t told you but he knew his mother was trying to find a proper betrothal for him. It didn’t matter that her son was still young. She wanted to make sure things would be perfect. Regulus knew that if he wanted to be with you, a lot of dominoes would have to tip over. The big one being his parents finding out.

“I know, love. I don’t want to be without you either. You know that I won’t be able to come to the party that your brother and James are throwing.”

You nodded, sadly.

“I know.”

Regulus pulled you into a kiss.

“I’ll try not to cut again, I promise.”

The next day was the day to return home for the Christmas holidays. You sat snuggled at Regulus’ side throughout the journey. Neither of you had said very much. You knew that when you stepped off of the train, you would have to act as if you were no longer Regulus’ girlfriend. He wouldn’t be able to meet your parents but return to his own who had no idea of your existence.

As other kids started moving to get off of the train, Regulus stood and pulled you against him.

“I’ll miss you, love.”

“I’ll miss you.”

You replied quickly pulling him down into a kiss. It wasn’t until Barty Crouch Jr knocked on the door did Regulus pull away from you.

“Reg, we have to go.”

Regulus gave you a sad look before turning and following his friend. Barty turned and gave you a small wave before leaving as well. You waited a few moments before following in the same direction.

Stepping onto the platform, you looked around for Regulus anyway. He stood a few feet away from your own parents talking to his mother and father. You couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Walburga and Orion Black. Both of Regulus’ parents were extremely good looking. What struck you, however, is how they appeared almost bored talking to their youngest son.

“Y/n! Sugar, let's go!”

James came out of nowhere and wrapped his arm through yours while Remus grabbed the other to skip to where your parents stood waiting.

Regulus, meanwhile, glanced over his shoulder when he heard James scream your name. He rolled his eyes trying to ignore the feeling of depression quickly kicking in.

“She is going to have a good time and not think of you once.”

The voice in his head said coldly. Regulus tried to swallow it back as your father and mother kissed both Remus and yourself. You were smiling as your father said something cheerful to you.

“Who is that girl?”

Regulus jumped, realizing that his mother had seen what he was looking at. He quickly turned to face Walburga who was looking at you with a hawk-like expression.

“Some girl. She’s friends with Sirius.”

Walburga nodded.

“She’s pretty.”

Regulus shrugged.

“She’s a half-blood and a Gryffindor…”

Walburga rolled her eyes.

“Don’t even think about her Regulus. You don’t need a girl like that to bring you down. She would never fit in with our family.”

Regulus nodded as Walburga focused on something else. Your eyes had flickered to Regulus and offered him a small smile.

“Yes, mother.”

Christmas break turned out to be better than you thought. Your mother and father had outdone themselves decorating for the holidays. Your father had found a new job and decided that it was time to spoil both Remus and yourself senseless.

As good as everything was, you still felt sad. It had been a week and you hadn’t heard a word from Regulus. He had promised to at least write you a letter or two when he was able to have some time alone. You couldn’t help but feel a bit worried with the knowledge that he was probably attending multiple pureblood parties that were full of pretty pureblood girls. What if someone who would appeal to his parents caught Regulus’ eye? Would he forget you to find someone that would appease Walburga and Orion Black’s requirements for a wife?

The night before Christmas eve was the party that Remus and James had put together. The loud music and Dorcas’ happy singing was enough to keep you occupied for the most part. It wasn’t until around 8:00 pm did Sirius come over to you with a grin.

“I have a present for you.”

You frowned. The last time that you checked Sirius and yourself had decided to remain friends. That didn’t mean spoiling each other.

“What?”

You questioned as Sirius wrapped his arm around you.

“I have something that you are really going to like. It kind of got injured in shipping, however.”

You frowned slightly worried about Sirius giving you some kind of broken vase then having to explain to Regulus why you got stitches.

“Sirius, should I be worried?”

Sirius laughed. He was half drunk but reminded you of an over-excited puppy.

“Nah! I wouldn’t hurt you.”

Sirius opened the door to the dining room. You froze the moment that you saw Regulus standing holding his left arm. He gave you a small smile.

“Hi, love.”

“Reggie!”

It took you all of three seconds to recover and run across the room to throw yourself on him. Regulus groaned when you hit his injured arm.

“Oh, Merlin, what happened?”

You questioned, realizing that he was bleeding through his black dress shirt. Regulus winced.

“I told mum and dad about us and it didn’t go well.”

You gently rolled up the sleeve of his dress shirt realizing that the wound was deep and needed attention.

“Sirius, can you go get my dad?”

Sirius nodded and left the room. You quickly returned your attention back to Regulus. He was trying so hard to act like he wasn’t in pain but you could see him wince.

“Everything is going to be okay.”
