Honestly I Agree With Everything.

marauders au where they all are in their fifties dealing with their own little couples and family issues.

marlene and sirius are not married and one of them is going through a health situation that makes them feel a bit suffocated by the concern.

lily and james have been married for so long they don’t even realize they lost their spark and come across as having settled with each other.

peter and gilderoy aren’t married either as it wouldn’t be “on brand” for gilderoy who is a celebrity that thrives on gossip around his love life and peter keeps having to defend his relationship to his friends but maybe even possibly to himself a little too?

remus is recently divorce and his friends think his relationship with tonks is the product of a middle life crisis but is it really or he just found real love later in life in someone younger than him?

Going back to old writing is either just like:

1. “Who wrote this masterpiece?! It was ME?!”

2. “Who wrote this absolute shit? Oh fuck my life, that was me, wasn’t it?”

I’ve been working on the translation of a fic I wrote back in the summer (my summer, at least). It’s a light read, both in terms of length and plot, cause while I love angsty, yearning and slow burn kinda stories, I did wanted to give them a fairly easy chance for once. 

As a warning though, this story does not follow the pair after they (finally) get together.

Summary:

Sirius Black and Marlene McKinnon are just quidditch buddies, both Gryffindor team beaters. Nothing more. Especially since James Potter would never forgive them for disturbing the peace of a team that is just recovering from a breakup between two chasers.

Luckily, there's nothing to worry about, because Sirius and Marlene have never looked at each other that way.

IT’S THE BEEEEEST OF BOTH WORLDS 🎶💁🏼‍♀️

pls don’t jump, we need fluffy blackinnon so bad, but you can consider it pay back for giving marlene those horrid new balance, no way, no how she wore those, you cruel cruel human.

a blackinnon story told in reverse: from the heart achingly lost of her life to the very beginning when they started to fell in love.

bonus points if near her death they closer to breaking up o they were already apart.

No, your Sirius turns into a flustered, stuttering mess. Mine shuts down and self isolates or gets mean. Mines better-

Band on a run!

a @jilymicrofics "how"

“How? How?” Sirius asked, an incredulity to his voice James didn’t often hear. “How did you not say yes when Evans asked? Are you a complete moron?”

“I froze! I—I just. Bloody hell Sirius, she asked me out.”

“—so I’ve heard—"

“What’s a bloke supposed to say to that?”

“Er… yes? Seems pretty straightforward to me—if you’re into that sort of thing—when a girl you fancy asks you out, you say yes. Not run away screaming like a banshee.”

“It wasn’t that high-pitched.”

“Not according to Moony.”

“…fuck.”

“The songs in the radio are okay,

but my taste in music is your face.”

what non-jily fans don't understand about lily realising she has feelings for james is that the whole deal was NOT cute. lily was screaming and trying to jump from the astronomy tower from the embarrassment while mary and dorcas tackled her down and marlene was pissing her ass off in the background. THAT is jily

alternatively...

sirius: you know the man i told you about, the one i was in love with? marlene: yes. he died. sirius: he’s james. marlene: as in potter? no. he’s alive, sirius. that can’t be. sirius: marls… marlene: what are you talking about? sirius: you really don’t know, do you? marlene: what don’t i know? sirius: … marlene: sirius? sirius: i could help you. you could see again. you could live. you don’t have to go through with this marlene: you’re not making any sense, how can you help me do any of those things? you’re not god sirius: no. i’m definitely not god

(yes i saved james)

@skelteroid just saying:

Marlene: Because he was a vampire. You did that to him. Did you even ask permission?

Sirius: I was in love with him. I wanted him to be with me forever.

Marlene: And is that what you have planned for me?

Sirius: Of course not, Marlene. I'm not in love with you.

plot twist: he falls in love and turns her when she is about to die
