Head Girl And Head Boy, November 11, 1978.

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.

ballet academy au | blackinnon edition

sirius thought if he got away from any trouble inducing situations like, say, a party on the rooftop of the academy, then he couldn’t get in trouble, much less get suspended for it.

except he realized too late that he was the only kid on the academy that had a copy of the master key that gave access to the rooftop and, unfortunately, someone had stole it from his locker. he checked.

that was what he was doing when he caught sight of marlene dancing on her own late on a friday night.

he had been dancing long enough with her for him to realize there was more to her talent than just very calibrated movements and long beautiful lines.

there was some kind of pent-up emotion running wild somewhere under the fiber of her muscles. it was only watching from afar that he managed to put a finger on it.

and when she had dance adding a pirouette just as he had told her, he saw it coming to life in front of him.

that thing beneath her skin.

—that was a good suggestion, ever thought about teaching?

he thought he was alone, but when he lifted his head, caradoc was looking at him.

—i barely make it as student as it is.

—not for lack of talent.

it was the closest thing to a compliment he ever heard from the man.

—you should be careful though, sort out your feelings.

sirius was not quite sure what caradoc meant, was he merely talking dancing?

—sort out my feelings mister i-don’t-care-what-either-of-you-do? perhaps you should sort out yours, maybe take this to dinner? see where it might take us?

he could’ve swear he almost saw caradoc smile, faintly.

—just be careful, black.

confusion didn’t sit right with sirius, so when caradoc left him, he did the only thing that could help: he danced alone in the studio on a friday night.

read previous episodes here.

sirius is either really confident/very good at pretending/or doesn’t care enough for other people’s opinions so i think it’s very funny if it’s marlene the only person to ever make him act awkward. specially at blackinnon early stages.

this is exactly why i think they would’ve have drifted apart if she would’ve survived. even best case scenario where sirius isn’t related to her not being with her family, sirius doesn’t fully get it. he might have mourn who his brother might’ve turn up to be in different circumstances after he died, but it’s not the same. it’s no enough to reach to marls in the depths of her grief. and it’s not their fault ughhh.

I have so many favorite hc for blackinnon, but my all-time favorite is Sirius having a bad feeling the night Marlene dies and telling her not to go home, to spend the night in his house, to stay together-- but Marlene thinks he is being paranoid and goes to visit her home, and ends up dying there with her family. I just love the idea that Sirius lives with the regret that only if he insisted more, maybe that wouldn't have happened.

i watched a movie a couple of days ago and one of the characters mentioned in passing she was writing a book about an artist (a real person, don’t remember who) and the relationship she had with two men.

basically the artist was in love with a gay man (who also happened to be her best friend) who was in love with a heterosexual man so… she married the latter and somehow it became a threesome.

and my rotten brain went: marlene x sirius x remus

and i mean how??? like i don’t mind gay sirius, i fuck with wolfstar a lot actually, but for the life of me i cannot see remus x marlene happening.

and ofc for the purpose of the story marlene having cero romantic feelings towards remus is completely irrelevant. the important part is she forced a situation between the three of them.

so yeah, i been basically trying to figure out how that would work: gay sirius, possibly bi remus and a completely toxic marlene apparently.

i do love a sort of open relationship?? between the three with sirius at the center where marlene and remus manage to fulfill different needs for him and they deeply cared for one another cause they all understand how important the other person is for the one they love.

idk. i’m just rambling. also, how the hell one does call blackinnon + remus or wolfstar + marlene??

Walburga Black 1974.

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

"but what hurts the most is coming second when i saw you first"

remus lupin watching sirius black fall in love with marlene mckinnon.
