sirius is the type of guy who would torment you for doing something he considers reprehensible and then make fun of you for never having done it.
you can never win with him, he’s sirius fucking black.
this is gonna be sacrilege but…
i think if marlene had survived and the war had ended, she and sirius would have been that fiery couple, the kind no one would ever denied were deeply in love with each other but, at some point, would have gotten separated.
after a while, they both would have moved on, found new partners (never got kids though), saw each other occasionally, mainly for harry’s birthdays.
they would have become that couple, even though they were no longer together, that every one talked about when they weren’t present.
no one ever understood why they broke up.
their friends are still waiting for them to get back together.
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?
marlene mckinnon rolling her eyes in disgust every time she hears someone describe their crush by their physical appearance only, then proceeding to fall in love with the hottest wizard in the whole castle.
in marlene’s defense, his face was his least attractive quality.
i love drawing mary
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
day 14 - dancing under the rain - blackinnon - @blackinnonfest
she loved to hear her friends' stories about their holidays in remote places. after all, that was what wizards were like, always secluded, hiding from muggles, either by getting as far away from them as possible or by using spells to repel them.
lily, however, shared different stories and had made them all jealous.
that was how they all turn up camping, the muggle way, on a site near the beach. the state of their world was so bleak, they knew there was a chance that for it to be only opportunity they could all be together that way. a group of teenage wizards and witches living the muggle way, if only for a few days.
what none of them had accounted it for, was the rain. it was supposed to be mid summer for merlin's sake. they were all sheltered under their tents, waiting for it to pass. it had been whole day by then.
"oh for god's sake, this is stupid" marlene said, getting out of the tent she was sharing with sirius.
"what are you doing? get back here!" sirius shouted, pocking his head out the tent. "there's no fire, mckinnon, we won't be able to warm your clothes if you get them all wet, you'll catch a cold" he was aware he sounded to motherly for his usual disregard of common sense, but he wasn't particularly interested in sharing a tent with a sick person, even if it was his girl.
"we'll use magic then" she replied.
"what's going on?" james head appeared out of his own tent.
"what's happening?" lily's voice join in.
"i'm going out for a walk" marlene stated.
"you can't!" lily shouted, emerging from under james' head.
"watch me!" marlene shouted back as she started running in the direction of the beach.
"oh for fuck's sake" sirius hissed, getting to his feet and running after her.
when he finally reached her, she was laughing, trying to get away from the waves as they make their ways to her feet before retrieving once more.
it was silly, giving the fact that after spending as much as ten seconds under the rain, both he and marlene were soaking wet.
but she, sirius could tell, was having too much fun, it was contagious, her laugh, the way her curls stick to her face.
he ran towards her and picked her up. marlene yelped in delight. he managed to run a few feet before putting her down again.
marlene hands landed on his chest, a broad smile on her face.
"what about the cold?" she asked.
"there's no muggles around, mckinnon" he replied.
marlene head turn to take a look at the beach. sirius was right, they were the only ones left.
"guess we'll have to use magic then" she laugh, getting on her tip toes to land a kiss on sirius' lips.
she loved he was the only guy tall enough to required for her to strech out to get to his level.
after that, sirius turn her on his arms, as if they have been dancing, and when he pulled her closed again, marlene had the fleeting though that right there, that moment with sirius, was all the magic they needed.
seconds later, they were joined by lily and james, the only ones brave enough to get under the rain, and spent the rest of the afternoon chasing each other, laughing and screaming, just as regular teenagers should do.
you know what i LIKE that james and sirius were arseholes who cursed the shit out of blood supremacists at their school. punch a nazi
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
Sirius 🖤 for @dewitty1
"i'm so good at loving you more by saying i love you less"
marlene mckinnon downplaying her own feelings for sirius black.
"i never got to fall out of love. i just had to move on"
sirius black after marlene mckinnon's dead.
"but what hurts the most is coming second when i saw you first"
remus lupin watching sirius black fall in love with marlene mckinnon.
here i am translating a few chapters in advance and completely forgot this moment existed:
"Sirius, in an attempt to encompass the room with his arms, lifted Marlene's hand, which remained in his grasp."
(i'm screaming on the inside)
When James was 16, Euphemia and Fleamont adopted a dog (sirius black)
sometimes i judge my friends for sharing so much shit on their ig stories while they working, but then again here i am writing/reading stuff about fictional characters who, if they existed, would still be dead
to each his own 🤷🏼♀️
marauders band au | blackinnon
i haven’t written a single “official” word in any document (just the scraps of interviews here)
BUT
i have figured out how to start the story and, most importantly, what happened with sirius and where is he.
also who the interviewer is.
the whole article is set to be published in the quibbler cause what better place to report on a old rock band that only a few people still remember to this day.
i’ll start working on it after i finish translating.
don’t get me wrong, i’m 100% sure orion defended his wife with claws and teeth, specially when it was sirius the one fighting her.
i imagine sirius rebellious strike reminded walburga too much of herself so she was definitely worried how he would turn up. and because of that they bickered often. and while sirius also picked up fights with his dad, orion didn’t react as badly unless he felt sirius had gone too far with walburga.
he might not thought it as: that’s my wife you’re disrespecting, boy, but more importantly that’s YOUR MOTHER.
orion understood the sacrifices walburga made for the sake of her family and while he accepted with dignity the fact that she might never love him, he did protect her (not that she really needed it).
that’s the reason walburga don’t mind that much, cause he’s present in all the ways she needs him to be.
and that’s why when and if ever he is unfaithful, he goes out of his way to pick a witch outside their circles. but with druella is personal, it’s has to do more with himself than with her wife.
just in general i think that however wrong and misguided their actions might be, pure blood families, especially old ones like the blacks and malfoys, valued their families above anything else.
there’s a reason they got to be MOST ANCIENT but also, there’s a reason the family finally crumbled.
(we all know if sirius had survived he either wouldn’t have had kids or would’ve done MUCH MUCH MUCH differently).
i think walburga wouldn’t care for orion being unfaithful as long as 1) he was discreet about it and 2) he didn’t get involve with anyone near her circle. after all, their marriage isn’t rooted in love.
problem is, orion and cygnuss have been feuding ever since they were kids (orion is closer to him in age than walburga) and finally he decided to start an affair with druella, who happens to be not only is his cousin’s wife but also the one woman walburga despises the most (she never wanted for her to marry his brother).
meanwhile alphard knows all this is happening and stays as far away as possible from all the drama, cause even if he tells his sister, she would find a way to blame him somehow, shot the messenger and all that.
not super into marauders content anymore but i had this wip and i had to finish it
i don’t think sirius was LOUD necessarily. i think most people knew of him and, as always, assumed that was enough to made them feel like they knew him, but since he started proving them all wrong from his first night at hogwarts, people started to really notice him more. he wasn’t loud, it was his presence that commanded attention and rooms grew quieter once he entered them. and he certainly took advantage of it from time to time. my boy james though? he was so loud i’m afraid euphemia was able to hear him all the way from scotland.
i want to write a little story of the women of family black, like sort of portraits of them.
first chapter following walburga from her last years at hogwarts up until sirius’s birth.
second chapter following bellatrix since the moment she met baby sirius until his selection into gryffindor or maybe her decision to marry into the lestrange family.
third chapter following andromeda from sirius’s selection til she ran away with ted.
fourth one following narcissa from the moment andromeda left til she found out she was pregnant with draco.
that’s what i’m thinking so far, but i would love to read some fics centered around the black family or, at least, the black sisters, so if you have any recommendations pls let me know! 🙏🏻

i picture marlene being tall, with a small frame, but oh so mighty.
sirius was genuinely shocked the first time he saw her throw a bludger at yaxley's head and send him to the medical wing with a fractured skull.
marlene mckinnon absolutely plastered introducing the weird sisters to lily and mary, singing and dancing do the hippogriff on top of a table in the common room.
right there, ladies and gentlemen, was the moment sirius realized she was his girl.
Just the normal amount of relief upon seeing your best friend is still alive after the summer holidays.
Prongsfoot being dramatic at the train station, as usual (get a room)(they're platonic)(knowing Sirius' parents the dramatics are justified)
This one's just a quick thing, because life is getting in the way. How dare they try to make me work :|
Sirius is an introvert forced to be an extrovert- they use their loudness as a cover so that they are always cheery and nobody will think something’s wrong
Regulus is an extrovert forced to be an introvert- growing up he watched Sirius get in trouble for being loud and acting out so he learned to stay quiet
the thing about prongsfoot is they could meet literally anywhere and immediately form a connection. those freaks who became best friends over an eight-hour flight? prongsfoot. those assholes who started playing cards at a funeral? prongsfoot. those annoying guys who haven't stopped yapping at each other since they first entered the line (with a eight-hour wait btw)? prongsfoot.
