okay so 7 is considered the perfect number. so there’s 7 immortals: marls, sirius, james, remus, peter, regulus (views opposite to the rest of them) and mary (who is tragically imprisoned somewhere no one knows).
enters lily, but since there can only be 7, marlene starts losing her immortality.
marauders au in which they are immortals (base on the old guard).
need to stop coming up with new ideas when i can’t even update anything right now. but i can’t. too many ideas.
marls being the oldest immortal before crossing paths with the marauders. james and sirius playing russian roulette constantly in their first years. remus becoming a sniper. peter the strategic mind behind all their ventures. sirius being the only one that can contact marls when they need her. them trying to get to the new inmortal: lily evans, before government finds out. tempted to add regulus for the drama. sirius having to deal with his shit, maybe a little moonwater?
My new fave work and a little bit of James and Lily fanart to start the day
Blackkinnon sneaking off under the guise of being a good wingman/woman for Jily when really, they're having their own little date.
also a moment of silence for female characters who get a lot of shit but would be adored if they were male
this is all @astracoreiisblog’s fault with the idea of blackinnon adopting a little kid (see here)
but can’t stop thinking of sirius teaching harry all kind of spells and sharing his more crazy pranks despite lily/remus/regulus (who ever is the most sensible in this scenario) telling him it’s a bad idea, harry is too young, but sirius is like: what’s the matter? i knew all of it when i was his age and turned out fine (again, debatable from regulus perspective).
then suddenly harry is teaching his kid all of that stuff and it bites him in the ass. doesn’t matter if harry is younger or older, works either way.
sirius: you know, you could help me sort this stuff out?
marls: oh why would i when it’s so much fun watching you struggle
sirius: you’re a cruel woman
marls: and you are smart man, you’ll figure it out. just keep your wand out of her reach.
enemies to lovers | blackinnon edition
quidditch captain james potter replaces marlene mckinnon on the team with his best friend, sirius black, after she got injured.
marlene: what the fuck did you just do?
james: we needed a new player, marls
sirius laughs
marlene: and who the fuck you think you are?
sirius: seems fairly obvious to me, mckinnon. the next best beater gryffindor has ever seen.
marlene: you have never even played! didn’t even bother to show up for the tryouts!
sirius: no need to when you’ve got the talent
marlene: fuck you! and fuck you too potter! *muttering, leaving the pitch* fucking nepotism
i’m gonna go ahead and say it:
durmstrang!sirius and slytherin!marlene
i might’ve landed in my very own dark!blackinnon au.
some blackinnon headcanons
- they don’t use terms of endearment on each other. i believe sirius use them in a sardonic way, like if he calls you “darling” you are in trouble for sure. for marls, she’s the type to call little kids “sweetheart” when they come up to her with their troubles.
- sirius call her mckinnon most of the time in front of others o public situations and marlene/marls in private o delicate situations. for marlene is sirius most of the time, unless she’s trying to make a point, then she calls him black.
- marlene is not as confident as sirius but knows how to play at her strengths. quidditch it’s a big thing for her during school, but later on it’s also incantations so she is very good at certain types of magic. she’s particularly good at conjuring shielding charms. i like to think of it as a projection of her own heart.
- that last one also plays a part when sirius thinks of her after finding out she died. he can’t help but think if it were any other curse but the killing one, she might’ve survived.
- in general, marls has a bit of trouble with defense magic. she can protect and deflect easily, but attacks are more difficult for her. it’s not until she’s confronted with DE attacking people in front of her that she gets better at it. she’s better at doing things for others than herself in that sense (then again, marlene might’ve died protecting her parents or brothers).
- sirius is good at everything as we know, he’s annoying like that.
- marlene is really tall for a girl, almost the same height as most boys which is annoying cause she likes taller guys. enters: sirius black, annoyingly tall for everyone except for marlene.
- marlene doesn’t looks like it, but sirius is often times amaze at how strong she is. she doesn’t hold back either, how else could she be a good beater otherwise? also, has impecable aim.
- marlene gets better at healing charms, potentially even considering becoming a healer. not because she wants to, but because someone has to. it also has to do with the fact that sirius doesn’t particularly care for his own injuries, doesn’t seem to grasp the concept of being unable to defend anyone properly unless he’s in top shape. honestly marls doesn’t care either, so sirius has to learn a few charms to heal her too in the end. it’s the only way they allow for it to happen, by way of taking care of each other.
- sirius was the first to realize they were something worthwhile. he’s not really the type of guy to pour his heart out, but at some point he does ‘cause his running out of ways of showing marlene he’s not going anywhere. probably the most frightening thing he ever did in that regard.
- marlene is not exactly the prettiest girl in school, but she’s the type of girl annoyingly label as “one of the guys” except said guys actually wants to go out with her. it’s more her vibe than anything else.
- visually they are the complete opposite: dark/light hair/eyes, sharp/soft features (i have a whole stupid canon of the blacks actually being black that could also work here, but i’ll keep it that way for now) also marlene hair is long when sirius is short and vice verse.
- marls doesn’t like to read much and sirius doesn’t nap often, but on the rare occasions that happens, sirius lays on her chest and marls read above his head.
- they both get kinda lost without a sense of purpose so whenever they feel the other may be as risk of spiraling, they come up with crazy plans or invent something they need the help of the other. they know is a lie, but play along anyway. it helps.

i didn’t know i needed mgk 90s boy band vibes wtf.
ballet academy au | blackinnon edition
marlene has always loved the arts, dancing especially. she had never minded to be in the background as long as she could perform. actually, if it means she could dance for the rest of her life, she wouldn’t want to ever be the first ballerina.
sirius has the talent, but no joy or interest in ballet. he’s only there to appease mommy and daddy dearest. he’s always been inconsistent, untrustworthy, that has been purposeful.
but all that changes when he’s paired up with marlene and sees the passion in her eyes. if he doesn’t step up, they both might get cut from the program.
it has been his purpose ever since day one, to get thrown out, put his family in a situation where their money won’t help him.
but could he risk throw away marlene’s dream just to get free of his family’s legacy?
