So I Was Listening To A Podcast About Rereading Books From When You Were A Teenager And Apparently In

ballet academy au | blackinnon

—where have you been? been ages you since you joined me for a run.

—turns up i don’t have anything else to run from.

—ha, can believe you said that with a straight face.

—been practicing.

—what? your poker face?

—no, you idiot. i’ve been practicing. with marlene.

—you’re joking.

sirius made a face. of course not even his best friend would understand. he didn’t either.

—you’re not joking. wow, that’s much worse. what has gotten into you, mate? thought you were leaving this place.

—turns up if i leave, they sack her too.

—didn’t think you were the caring type.

sirius fell backwards onto his mattress letting out a frustrated groan. it was all such a mess. he was a fault away from being suspended, possibly permanently. and yet…

—wait, i was joking. you seriously care if she gets thrown out? has mckitten gotten under your skin?

—don’t call her that.

—so she has. fuck me, i might need more than a run to wrap my head around it.

—this is all lupin’s fault. if he were here, i wouldn’t have to be dealing with none of this shit.

—sure mate, you keep telling yourself that. let’s pretend like you didn’t tried to actually be her partner from the start.

sirius came back up, sitting on the edge of the bed, appalled at the accusation.

—that was different, i was trying to get her into bed back then —he protested as if that was a much better reason.

—oh black, you’re going to wish that’s all that would’ve happened. you’re in so much trouble now.

sirius could still hear james laughing down the corridor on his way to make his nightly run.

he was right, though. he was in trouble, one way or another.

propaganda i AM falling for:

multishipping

A post-Azkaban 90s hot dad Sirius just because.

have u watched the game of thrones if yes can i have some game of thrones blackinnon?

how sad it would be if i say no lol

i have landed on something, i’m going with my gut here.

i like the idea of knights watch/wilding but i fear i would make marlene too much like ygritte and no, we already knows how that one ends (🥲)

so… this is during the time where the starks are the kings of the north. orion is the hand of the king. he and his family don’t approve of the idea of bending the knee to the targaryen. i don’t know if there are direwolfs in this era, but even if there aren’t and they have zero defenses against dragons, the blacks are set to keep the north an independent kingdom.

sirius as the oldest son is meant to be lord of his house but, until he comes of age, he’s the squire of the king or whatever they call the position where he’s supposed to learn from under the wing of an important person 😂 haven’t read the books in a while and i even forget the right words in spanish so, anyway…

james is possibly the older son to the king (i can’t picture sirius without him). sirius is obviously living in the castle along side his dad and the stark/potter family.

marlene however… is the daughter of the inn keeper. the inn where all the major lords and people from the south come and stay when they can’t be in the castle.

she has always wanted to learn how to ride like a boy and duel and fight with swords, very much like arya. but she can’t exactly ride the few horses his father has because they’re not train for that or they are too old.

marlene is often working in the tavern and that’s how she meet sirius.

maybe he catches her trying to “steal” a sword or playing pretend, something like that when they are young and sirius would never admit it, but she’s the reason he keeps coming back even though he has full warm meals in the castle. he brings james from time to time.

now that’s all i have so far.

obviously whatever they have could never become something because of their situation, but in this scenario neither of them are content with their respective situation and most likely will take matters into their own hands.

i have fully lost myself in this fantasy because i can’t stop thinking of blackinnon doing an intensely passionate and explosive choreography during a time they have not yet realized how they feel about each other or maybe in the throes of denial and finishing the whole thing breathlessly near each other like ughhh.

i have watched too many videos.

(also can’t stop thinking that i view blackinnon as dancers and jily more like figure skaters, like the whole visual contrast of breaking down moves or fully stopping at times to the continuous flow of the ice?? honestly it’s a visual thing for me that differentiates so good those two pairs)

i’ve been consuming too much ballet series/films/videos to the point i’m like crap, i need to write the whole thing know.

specially when i come across moments where i think that’s so blackinnon/marlene/sirius coded 🫠

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

reminder that sirius was canonically the hottest man alive actually. girl had a face card so fire even dementors wanted to kiss him

sillies

not super into marauders content anymore but i had this wip and i had to finish it

i fried my brain so hard that i almost called my dog sirius. got as far as sir-

this is the most beautiful piece of art i've seen in a long time oh my god
