The Bond Between A Girl And Their Favorite Fictional Man Is Both An Unstoppable Force And An Immovable

Sometimes I’m just scrolling and then horribly reminded that other people’s favourite characters Aren’t sirius black and that’s just unfathomable

Second chapter is up here.

STRANGERS - MINI FIC (Blackinnon)

Summary Marlene is a woman on a mission: to completely forget that Sirius Black ever touched her body (and her heart).

This is the original idea if you're interested.

(Honestly is @siriuslyablack fault that I decided to post this mini-fic.)

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.

Druella and Narcissa.

what do you think would be marlene's standing with the black family? like what she think of walburga, orion, and regulus and what they think of her?

god what a hard question!

i think she struggles with them.

i tend to think of marlene as a pureblood witch to put her in contrast with lily (muggle born) and mary (half-blood), so while her family is obviously not on the same level as the blacks, she knows a lot of them much like the rest of society.

during school and even before they get closer, she starts picking up on the subtle ways sirius tense up or slightly flinch when someone brings up his family. whenever she can she change the subject. she also imagines he struggles at times with the way he was brought up and the way gryffindors behave. she has a brother in ravenclaw and that puts sirius at ease in a way when it comes to him being the outcast of his own family, not all is lost and it might no be that big a deal for his parents.

also marlene was in school at the same time his older cousins were and even at a distance she could tell they were a force to be reckoned with. marlene has only brothers so, aside from her mother, it’s such a sight to know powerful young witches. and this translates to walburga as well. sirius turns out to be so annoyingly good at everything and without even trying that she wonders where all that natural talent comes from. they obviously care enough in some regards to making him comfortable and well educated so his talent won’t go to waste. but believe they’re misguided though, cause their trying too hard to turn him into something he’s not and things might’ve turned up differently if they acknowledged that from the beginning. but it’s a scary thought to think of sirius as, possibly, a DE or a supporter of voldemort in some capacity.

marls doesn’t share the black family beliefs and neither does sirius, but that doesn’t change the fact that, even if you stripped them down from it, they are still a powerful family. she also hates the way more traditional families put the wizards above the witches which is hard to reconcile when she thinks of walburga, a big blood supremacist, having the same power as a man. it hard to reconcile someone with opposite beliefs to your own being in some capacity able to effect change, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be allowed to just cause they happen to be women, right?

i don’t think she ever gets introduced to them, but if she did, she would probably confront walburga. she’d tell her she’s just jealous because his son might turn up to be whoever he wants to be, an option she either didn’t have or didn’t felt she had. she’s also scared, because he’s a man, he’s the heir, and he’s smart and powerful enough to change the trajectory of his entire family if he wishes, something she couldn’t have done even if she had wanted to.

she would think orion to be spineless for trying to dim his own son light, a son who only ever tried to make him proud despite everything. if he doesn’t want to see how special he is, it’s his lose. and no, buying him expensive stuff doesn’t compensate for any psychological abuse he might’ve done to sirius.

as to where walburga and orion stand on her is, well… they think sirius picking her might be a good sign. orion is not that impressed because he knows sirius to be much like walburga and while she change her ways and eventually fall in line with the family, he also knows sirius might turn up and do the complete opposite. so no girl it’s gonna get in the way of that.

but walburga is impressed in a small way. regulus is the one feeding her information on her (which i find funny), and marls comes across, to her, as an unapologetic witch. she is who she is and wont make concessions to make other people like her more. much like her. but she thinks she’s misguided. she could be exactly the right girl to straighten up his son, even if she isn’t , say, a greengrass, but more likely than not, she’ll be his ruin (in her eyes). also she’s blonde and i hc walburga loathing the malfoys and by association anything that reminds her of them even in the slightest way. it would be a curse for the next black heir to be blonde.

about regulus marls thinks he’s young and naive. she sees the way sirius gaze follows him around in school, specially when he starts hanging around mulciber and that sort of crowd. regulus naively thinks maybe marls would be the one the bring his brother back to him and his family, which is why he talks walburga about it.

she’s not surprised they finally disowned him. she is, however, taken aback by alphard leaving him his money. again there’s that struggle that somewhere in the family there’s actually care and concern about sirius, but they’re are too caught up in their own prejudices and stupid beliefs to be able to show up properly for their son/nephew and in someway that might be reciprocated by sirius, even if he don’t want to. you could also say that his prejudices to blood supremacist steams from his relationship with his family and it’s the reason he can’t look pass it when he thinks of them, even if he related to them as family and smart and talented humans in the first place.

during war times she’s concern how the family dynamics would translate in battle. again, she knows bellatrix to be powerfull and she knows sirius to be reckless, he becomes even more so after regulus death, which he keeps downplaying and telling her it didn’t affected him (showing that he cared, at the very least, for his brother, if not the rest of them).

all in all, she’s constantly torn between her desire for sirius to have a loving and supportive family and the implications of it and the way he turn up to be such a loyal and talented defender of what’s right despite them pushing him otherwise.

in the end, marlene knows the only way for sirius to thrive it’s to cut them out completely and is grateful for the existence of james potter, and eventually lily and harry too. while she loves her family and could never properly grasp how sirius felt towards his, she’s so glad he gets to experiment some resemble of family dynamics with his best friends.

remus art made by a good friend who does not have a tumblr she is amazing and also cuts my hair :) everyone say good job claire <3

now we're talking! i mean, if you want sporty she kinda gives surfer girls vibes, so she will be serving australian realness and going barefoot EVERYWHERE not just the beach (and at some point ends up wearing sirius' shoes)

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.

is this blackinnon? ofc it is.

searched up what andromeda means and tell me this isn’t the most on-brand thing ever

like—

“an Ethiopian princess of Greek mythology rescued from a monster by her future husband Perseus”

so you’re telling me andromeda black was destined to run from the monster (read: the black family) and choose love over bloodline??

girl was literally named after someone who escaped a monster and chose her own fate.

Andromeda black said “yeah actually i will leave my toxic pureblood family and marry the muggleborn man i love”

icon behavior. prophecy fulfilled.

she was the rebellion.

i’ll insert the image for you all

Blacleria is BACK! 🥳🤭After a full month full of frustration, because I constantly hated my all my drawing attempts, I thought... f*ck it, I do a full painting now. Let's see how it works out. And now I am really proud, and a bit nervous (because I am proud...lol). I also experimented a bit with my style. For the background, I used another software, which is specialized in imitating traditional painting media. I have to admit, I really like this look! 😊🫣 Please excuse me now, I have to read some fics from arlie now. 📖
