I like tech support Touya, who will purposely act confused as to what issue you’re calling him about and make you explain at length what it is you’re having trouble with on your work computer until he finally helps you. You’re to the point of aggravation trying to explain yourself. He knows what’s wrong, he is just bored and a menace.
not him asking, "have you tried turning it off and then back on again" qjfnfiskaklala just to keep you chatting with him he makes me SICK what a brat LOL he IS a menace !!

Tuvok-B'Elanna dynamic at its core to me is Weird Girl on Playground vs Girl Who Walks Right Up To Her & Says "You're Weird." while everyone else just heavily implies it.
Also, the reason Seven/B'Elanna works so well is their weirdgirl 2 weirdgirl communication
Also 2) Seven is going THROUGH it with Janeway...Janeway is Seven's Popular Girl Friend who's sort of being condescending to you but also is genuinely trying to be nice and also there's a lesbian undertone to all your interactions as she tries to get you to submit to a makeover and that relationship will be with you forever and you'll never be able to fully say it was good or bad - yet it haunts you.
Seven's relationship with B'Elanna is thinking "I hate her boyfriend so much I could treat her better" so hard that her head explodes. You know Tom did something at/before prom and Seven swooped in. You know this to be true.
B'Elanna thinks Seven is so pretty and why would she even hang out with a loser like me? Why be a weirdo when you could just be popular Miss Perfect??? And they have this sort of antagonism but understanding of one another even as they keep pissing each other off and being annoying.

Different anon: miss ma’am GTC is such a cute nickname and I am hereby appropriating it 🥰
I imagine Pete to be a hanger-on, the handsome rich popular kids take him and Remus under their wings. Remus is brilliant in his own right, but Pete straddles the line between celebrity awe (they picked unremarkable little me to be their friend? And I can raise my social capital by being their friend??) and sheer resentment. A Paris Hilton/Kim Kardashian circa 2007 dynamic if you will. Judging by descriptions of Sirius and James and their bullying of Severus (which Remus only reluctantly tolerated but Pete gleefully participated in) I also imagine that they weren’t all that kind to him. He’s the one they could mercilessly rag on and Pete will take it because the alternative is to be the class’s unlikable runt. Think of Ron in your fic but crank it to the max. Such a person would turn on their friends under duress (and also under the belief that his status would rise significantly in a Voldemort-rule world).
As for Molly…idk I come from a culture that condones and even encourages age gaps. Mum is very maternal and she’s always told me to finish school and find a good job before I marry but even she was like oh but he’s a good match! when a 28 yr old family acquaintance wanted to propose to me when I was only 19 🤷🏻♀️
Cool take! I like your read of the teenage dynamics, but in canon I still feel this disconnect between the person he's supposed to be as a teenager (close friend, fourth Marauder, Secret-Keeper, clearly trustworthy or thought to be so at any rate) and the cardboard villain he is as an adult (cowardly, sniveling, immediately returns to Voldemort despite there being no need for him to do so). Do I think they were all that kind to him, eh, probably not, but that's because I think the Marauders are kind of dicks in general [she said affectionately]. He's close enough for Lupin to tell him his secret, and to go through a hugely impactful transformation in order to help him with it, so he's clearly got some degree of loyalty and personal camaraderie — plus, I really don't buy the way McGonagall talks about him as an "extra" or a hanger-on. For one: weirdly harsh, considering she's talking about a man she believes to be a murder victim; and for two, McGonagall believed that Sirius was capable of killing/betraying James, so I don't know how much we can necessarily trust her read of their dynamic. It strikes me that anyone who knew how close Sirius and James were would've found Sirius's conviction fairly suspicious; Lupin, for instance, believes Sirius as soon as Sirius gives him an even remotely plausible alternative explanation, absent any proof whatsoever. So I'm thinking McGonagall might just be reasoning a posteriori, here.
I love your comparison of Peter to Ron, though, because I've actually thought about it a lot. If you analogize Harry to James, then Ron twice steps into the role of Peter/Judas/traitor, both in Book 4 (blows up, calls him a liar, leaves him during the heat of the Tournament) and Book 7 (blows up, calls him a dick, leaves him during the heat of the horcrux hunt). Those are betrayals! And if Ron hadn't come back (or if he'd been killed and never made it back, leaving everyone to imagine he'd just fucked off for good) would people in 10 years be talking about Ron the same way they talked about Peter? "Yeah, big lump of a guy, always trailing after Harry and Hermione"? "Guess we all should've seen it coming, we all knew how jealous he was of Harry"? And like, we know that's true, but it's not the whole truth. How much of his story would ever be told?
