James Potter - Blog Posts

What bothers me about Harry Potter fans is how much they ignore the filth of their favorite characters. Especially the Marauders and Severus Snape. If you despise Snape and love the Marauders, don't forget that your anger at Snape for ignoring the feelings and emotions of others is the same as Remus Lupin ignoring the antics of his friends that cause moral and physical pain to another. Let's face the truth and understand that they are all traumatized idiots. I despise them all, but they are damn interesting.

So good. I think we all know that Snape is a piece of shit who takes out all his traumas on others. But I fucking hate it when the Marauders are loved and justified because of it. What... You may not be aware BUT THEY UNDRESSED PEOPLE IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE SCHOOL. And so on. Marvelous.

“Good morning, Peter. How’s your morning going?” asked a gray-haired lady as she walked through the door of the coffee shop.

“Oh, good morning, Mrs. Hudson! You know how Mondays are here. But how about you? How’s your husband?” replied the brown-haired boy as he prepared a coffee with enviable ease. Practically everyone in the neighborhood knew how clumsy Peter Sykes could be, but they also knew that, when it came to his coffee shop, his usual clumsiness was completely left behind.

“Oh, you know how Henry is. He keeps refusing to use a cane. The other day, he nearly fell down the stairs because of his limp. I swear to God, Peter, I don’t know what I’m going to do with that man,” Mrs. Hudson complained as she sat in one of the chairs by the café counter. “But tell me about you, dear. How are you and little Harry doing?”

It had been five years since Peter arrived in this small neighborhood in Glasgow with his nephew Harry in tow. The move had been unexpected, but the young man, barely 21 at the time, adapted quickly. The change had been drastic for both of them, but over time, they had earned the affection of the neighbors.

“Well… I think we’re going through a bit of a phase,” Peter said, rubbing his eyes as a trace of exhaustion appeared on his face.

Mrs. Hudson felt a pang of sympathy for the young man. Peter looked so young and seemed to have gone through so much. He was only 24 and was already practically a single father while running his own business.

“Is that so?” Mrs. Hudson asked curiously.

“Do you remember that hedgehog plush Daisy gave him?”

“The one that sings that funny song when you pull the string?”

“That’s the one. Harry keeps pulling the string and laughing every single time as if it were the first time… but I think I’m going to lose my mind if I hear it one more time.”

“Don’t be silly, dear. Kids always have a toy or a song they cling to. It’s normal.”

“I’m not saying it isn’t normal, Mrs. Hudson. I’m just saying I’m sick of that song.”

“I’m sure Harry will move on from that song sooner than you think, dear,” she said with a compassionate smile.

“He will if that toy miraculously stops working…” Peter sighed and then gave a crooked smile. “Although I can’t blame him. The song used to make me laugh at first, too.”

Personally, I like to think that Peter actually managed to kill twelve Muggles with a single spell. I mean, the man became an Animagus when he was about fifteen years old. He might not have been a top student in class, but he was clearly no idiot when it came to magic. Not to mention that he actually succeeded in resurrecting Voldemort. So yes, I do believe Peter had some skill when it came to magic and wasn't a complete failure like some people think.

I can't get this idea of the Marauders x Spider-Man out of my head, so I started writing a bit about the background of each of the Marauders in this AU.

So in this AU, Hogwarts is like Brooklyn Visions Academy, the only difference being that it's located in London and the students are still divided into houses, but it's more like which dormitory sector you belong to and, ultimately, they're not taken as seriously as in canon.

Peter: He's an only child, his father is a paramedic and his mother is a nurse. Due to his parents' shifts, he's somewhat used to taking care of himself. He attends Hogwarts on a scholarship, although he always struggles to maintain good grades and not lose the scholarship. He suffers quite a bit when it comes to balancing his grades and his life as Spider-Man. He's quite close to his parents and his father's death really affected him a lot. After this, he became quite close to Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick, often turning to them for advice. He's a bit afraid of Professor McGonagall.

James: Like Peter, he's an only child and his parents are quite old. Because of that, he's quite spoiled, but he adores his parents, and woe to the person who insults either of them because James Potter isn't afraid to hit someone. He's the captain of the Hogwarts hockey team. His family is extremely wealthy, so he's always attended private schools and has no problem spending money on gifts for his friends. He's Professor McGonagall's favorite, as he's the best student in his class and has ensured that Hogwarts hasn't lost a match in the last two years.

Remus: Like the other two, he's an only child. I didn't want to completely ignore Remus's lycanthropy, so I decided to make him a mutant. He can control the transformation, but it's quite difficult for him to do so during full moon nights, so he simply opts to spend them as a wolf. He still has scars, but they're from when he was attacked by Fenrir Greyback (who is also a mutant in this AU). Remus managed to defend himself, and that's when he discovered he was a mutant. Lyall Lupin has made a great effort to change his beliefs about mutants since discovering his son was one. Now he and Remus are quite close. Likewise, Remus couldn't ask for a better mother than Hope Lupin. Like Peter, he has a scholarship, and thanks to it, his family can afford to send him to a school like Hogwarts, as Lyall Lupin is a police officer and Hope Lupin works in a bookstore, so they don't have money to spare like James and Sirius.

Sirius: He's a special case. Like in canon, he didn't have a good relationship with his family. For that reason, he likes attending Hogwarts because it allows him to be away from his family for much of the year. Initially, when he and Regulus started attending Hogwarts, they were quite close, but they started to drift apart over the years. Finally, when he turned 15 (about 6 months after Peter became Spider-Man), he ran away from home and lived with the Potters for a while until his uncle Alphard Black managed to become his legal guardian. Sirius goes to therapy once a week, but he's managing quite well. Alphard is also trying to get custody of Regulus, but it's not easy, as the Black family is quite wealthy and probably has the best lawyers in England.

I've been browsing AO3 for hours and stumbled upon a few AUs where a character becomes Spider-Man. I quite enjoy these types of AUs because of the endless story possibilities, considering Spider-Man has a vast array of villains. The best ones I found were where Remus and James were Spider-Man. But I'm here to pitch an even stranger idea: what if Peter Pettigrew were Spider-Man? I mean, the guy is a coward, and I think that would make for a great story opportunity – someone as cowardly as Peter becoming Spider-Man, someone who clearly lacks a moral compass at first. And here's where I think Peter would urgently need the death of someone as significant to him as Uncle Ben was to Peter Parker. It couldn't be any of the Marauders because Peter holds them in a strange kind of pedestal, so the death of any of them might scare him more than give him the push he needs to do good.

So, hypothetically, a character not mentioned in canon could be used: Peter Pettigrew's father. Now, listen, Peter definitely wouldn't use his powers for good at first. I'd bet Peter would use them to steal some small things from stores – these kinds of things would give him some self-confidence, which we know Peter definitely lacked. So Peter's father discovers this, and he and Peter argue. Peter runs away from home, and his father goes after him (similar to what happens in Andrew Garfield's movie). Peter's father encounters the thief Peter just let go and is shot dead. Peter wants revenge because now he has these powers, and that's what he always wanted – now he's more powerful than anyone, and he wants to find the man who took his father from him.

I think his origin as Spider-Man would definitely be much more violent since it would be for entirely selfish reasons, but I also like to think that with the help of the Marauders, they could help him take a better path, especially James. I think he could definitely have a great influence on Peter's morality.

I also like to think that Peter would still be the same shy and kind boy but definitely much less willing to take any kind of mockery, especially after what happened to his father. As Spider-Man, he would be much more himself, as if wearing the mask eliminates that little fear of what others might say.

Lastly, I don't think Peter would be smart enough to create web shooters, so I actually think if I ever write this, I'd give him natural webs like Tobey McGuire's Spider-Man.

The opinions don't matter to me, but please, if you're going to spread hate about Peter Pettigrew, just don't comment. This is an AU, so we're completely taking into account the canonical personality of the character.

The rat and the fawn.

Peter Pettigrew is 9 years old and James Potter are best friends.

Peter Pettigrew is 12 years old and James Potter is his best friend.

I NEED THIS OMG

i love the 'regulus gets hit with the de-aging magic' fluff fics but i need a fic where james is hit with the spell or accidentally drinks a potion. the cutest, happiest something four-years-old running after his friends on his chubby legs, so eager to hear about all the mischief they get up to at the big age of seventeen. he collects all sorts of flowers and scurries off to regulus in the great hall, climbing onto the spot beside him and proudly presenting them, totally unaware that they're the very same flowers he keeps leaving before his door in secret. will pout and latch onto regulus when sirius tries to bring him back to the common room, unashamedly climbing reg and wrapping himself around his neck like a petulant koala all >:'[ tear-fogged glasses

In memory of Sirius

One day I’m going to get a black dog and name it Padfoot.

I don’t think any of my family or friends will understand my love for Harry Potter.

This is probably my favorite fic I ever wrote tbh

I’M SO EXCITED

Pairing: Jegulus, James Potter/Regulus Black

Prompt: 53 - Virgin Alpha James and Experienced Omega Regulus

Summary: “Has the great James Potter never knotted an Omega before?” Regulus sneers down at him, rolling his hips in a way that makes James' back arch. “What? Too busy fucking that Beta girl, Evans?”

“N-no,” James gasps, hands flexing in the sheets. “Never… never fucked anyone.”

Regulus' hips stop and it takes all James has to bite back the whimper that threatens to leave his throat.

“Are you telling me,” the Omega says, slowly. “That you’ve never had sex before, Potter?”

He pinches his eyes closed and nods, fingers flexing again into the sheets. He felt like he was going to die if Regulus didn’t start moving his hips again.

Under Pressure was only out for 5 days when James was killed

He and Sirius likely never got to listen to it together

Trans Regulus AU where James opens the door to see Kreacher holding a baby before handing it to him and disappearing, and he has never been more confused. That is, until he looks down at the baby and it has the same grey eyes as the man he once loved back in school; the man he once left.

Save me... save me Jegulus Icarus metaphor...

Regulus has journals upon journals of poetry and letters that he never gave to James stashed under a floorboard in Grimmauld Place, forever untouched.

Regulus has a mole on the side of his neck and it's James' favorite spot to kiss. It constantly is red all around it just from James' attention.

"I have always been in such mind that my mother would decide the woman of whom I shall wed, and that will be final. Yet, you appear to have snuck through the locked gate of my affections with such ease that I feel my own soul is being intruded." The nobleman spoke with such refined grace, his pen moving as fast as his words, though his hand and tongue were in completely different realms of thought.

The prince looked entranced by every word that flowed from the blessed mouth of his lover, each sentence engraving into his soul like holy scriptures being recited by the gods themselves for his ears alone. The cold of winter felt as though it could be swayed to clement spring by just his tongue, and the royal could no longer deny the truth his poet has set forward. Their hearts were intertwined by stolen sentiments, their souls by covert moments of pure bliss shared on this balcony that will forever be the confines of their bond.

"I am no intruder, my dear; simply a lover."

I Will by Mitski is so James with Regulus trying to convince him that it's okay to be vulnerable

just saw a tiktok with the sound of Flynn's starting monolouge from Tangled, you know the This is the story of how I died, and it was Sirius talking about Regulus and James' love story. fell to my knees in the middle of a Tesco aisle i'm so cool about this

Yooooooo

So update on the Marauders x Ocean’s 11 (i tried to do only girls but this line up just worked so well)

James as Danny Ocean

Lily as Rusty (we know who the real brain is)

Sirius as Ruben

Mary as Saul

Dorcas as Frank?

Marlene as Basher

Pandora as Yen?

Regulus as Linus

Evan and Barty as Virgil and Turk

Lily as Livingston

Peter as Tess (no romantic Prongstail)

Voldy as Benedict

(Obviously it’s their global role, they won’t be exactly them)

You seemed interested: @braddicted

Lily attacked James when she started liking him because she thought he slipped her a love potion, only to be mortified when she realized he hadn’t. James, of course, was ecstatic.

James Potter’s life plan

Because I’ve noticed a lot of Marauders people are also big Hamilton fans and I want to check this theory

Perhaps my favorite thing about Crimson Rivers is that it makes Regulus Black canonically a Katniss Everdeen variant

Sirius = Haymitch

James = Peeta

Regulus = Katniss

Regulus: *pouring his drink* Coffee or tea?

James: Coffee.

Regulus: Wrong, it’s tea.

Whenever Regulus sees something ugly he points at it and says “Look James, it looks just like you”

James Potter never sits down while eating. Like he’ll just stand by the counter and eat while talking to everyone or he gets up constantly but he can never just sit down and eat a meal
