Okay But Let’s Consider For A Moment It Went BAD. Seth Cohen/summer Robberts First Time Kinda Bad.

sirius black - azkaban prison - thinking of marlene right before PoA

they weren’t happy memories. not exactly.

he often reminisced about his time back at hogwarts. back at the potter’s. back in his flat. but those memories were so twinged now with grief that they held no real comfort.

sometimes, and he really couldn’t tell whether it was at his lowest moments or not. could there be anything lower than rotting away in a cell in azkaban for a crime he didn’t committed? did it even matter now that everyone he once cared about was dead o had betrayed him?

not all of them.

there it was. the voice. her voice. so clear as if she was just sitting next to him, whispering in his ear.

that happened sometimes, more often that he'd cared to admit.

he sometimes followed her voice, dreaming they were, actually, together. that nothing that has happened had been real, that it all had been a long, terrifying nightmare and they were still both warm and… alive.

you are, sirius.

am i?

sirius could honestly not tell the difference between sleep or awake, it was all the same. he either dreamed of better times or was haunted by the memories.

sometimes sirius wished he couldn’t hear her or even remember her. it was bad enough he couldn’t get away from the memories of james and lily and poor little harry, who was real and alone and turn a orphan. how long has it been? he was probably twelve. or thirteen now.

but marlene?

marlene had left him long before all that.

marlene had once represented hope and that, sirius had come to realize after years of imprisonment, was worse than the utter devastation of having lost them all. specially since there were none of that, anymore. hope.

she had died, younger even, than the potters.

it was such a twisted thing, he thought. his life had always been so utterly twisted. he shouldn't ought to be so surprised over the fact that, while they had arguably won the war, he had lost everything.

not everything, came the voice, again.

there were other voices too, come to noticed. of real people near his cell.

reluctantly, sirius opened his eyes and then he saw it, right there in front in him, the picture of a big happy family posing against the pyramids on the front page of the daily prophet.

and a fat fucking rat sat on top of one of the sons shoulders.

i’m so envious of marlene being able to wear a lot of piercings in her ears ‘cause i can’t. i take one off for an hour and i basically have to pierce it again which hurts.

James Potter & Sirius Black

marlene mckinnon’s hair went through the same phases as miley cyrus’s hair over the years.

Finally drew PoA Sirius! I'm happy with the softer lineart, been experimenting with different brushes and found one I really like. So, here you go... the brief moment of hope before everything changes. 🥲

“I’ll understand, of course, if you want to stay with your aunt and uncle,” said Black. “But… well … think about it. Once my name’s cleared … if you wanted a … a different home …”

HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban

The Musical

Draco would thrive in theater… 😓

no thoughts just shirtless sirius black with a small constellation of tattoos all over his chest and arms with a scotch in hand.

obsessed with how every time harry mentions sirius he has to take a moment to froth at the mouth about how hot he is. that boy is his father’s son

The day marauders fans stop mischaracterising Regulus, Barty, and Evan by treating them like they’re innocent little babies who “had no choice” is the day i’ll rest peacefully.

lily never really approved of sirius and marlene (in this au they weren’t high school friends)

lilypad enjoying going out for drinks and talk shit about everyone UNTIL SIRIUS CANT TAKE MORE OF LILY MAKING FUN OF MARLENE (nothing major calm down) cause sure marlene has been a little extra lately but he chose her to be his partner and that means something

a little prongsfoot moment when they’re both feeling down a bit?

marlene an lily laughing their ass off when they found out and are not angry at all (basis for a solid friendship between the girls after all?)

gilderoy being blissfully unaware of all the shit show going around. peter loving him for it because he won’t let his honeymoon be ruing by their immature friends

tonks and marlene bonding over tiny adventures they take together

lily and james fighting because lily thinks james is acting weird in front of tonks because maybe he would like to be with someone younger and reckless but james replies that maybe lily is just projecting and she’s the one who would like to be as carefree as tonks

in the case i decide to make regulus as remus ex: sirius and remus talking about the whole tonks/regulus situation and sirius making jokes about it and regulus having found out about remus dating tonks cause they still share family icloud (if this is a muggle au)

OMG WAIT (see here the concept)

what if the story begins with gilderoy surprising peter with a wedding for his anniversary (better late than never) and all their friends join them in the honeymoon (codependency at its best) and all hell break lose?

sirius trying to down play the fact that he’s going mad having marlene constantly watching out for him because he knows is out of love.

the potters acting as their parents.

remus bringing tonks for the first time on a holiday with them.
