Lily: Remus, are you a cat person or a dog person?

Remus: *glances at Sirius*

Remus: cat person

Sirius: *starts to sob*

Sirius: *runs away*

Lily: what was that about?

Remus: it’s... complicated.

Presidential election - Orion and Monty are running for president.

James family are the democrats and Regulus family are the republicans, so they are always bickering at events and you think they would be endgame (like some RWRB bullshit) but plot twist,

they aren't.

They actually fall in love with two different people -

James, is smitten, by chilean socialist protestor Lily. Who he sees at every political event, protesting and once threw a tomato at him.

Regulus, falls in love with bodyguard Barty, who also is in love with him since he was assigned the position. (pining)

Dorcas knew something was wrong when Evan showed up at her door one night. At the start of the war, right before she graduated all three of her-the boys took the dark mark. She wanted, desperately, for there to be more to the story, but if there was they never told her. So when she found out she was furious told them all she never wanted to speak to them ever again, and the only time they would see her face is from behind bars or in a shallow grave. They respected that and before she knew it, its been over a year and she missed them like she misses a limb. but she does not regret her decision.

So when one night evan shows up alone, dorcas knows something is wrong. she nearly curses him outright when he asks to come in but he offers his wand to her and doesn't even flinch when she rips it out of his hand. idly she considers snapping it. Evan didn't look good, he was more wirey than before the war and he looked depressed. his eyes were red.

he came into her apartment and looked around in curiosity, right he had never seen her apartment they had stopped speaking a week before she moved in. he sat on her couch and she pretended not to be hurt about how right it felt to have him here. then he spoke, "We wanted to tell you, I swear we did but he told us that if you knew and someone found out you would be a target. You and marlene and your family. We tried Dorcas we tried so fucking hard but were losing and we don't know what to do and you, your the most powerful witch we know and Reg-" he rambled frantically and when he tried to say Regulus' name his voice broke and Dorcas was filled with this horrible sense of dread. She knew why Evan was here but she didn't want to believe it. She needed to hear it out loud but merlin she didn't want to.

"Evan, what are you doing here."

"Regulus is dead."

"Oh."

And the worst part is, Dorcas knew, they all knew that Regulus would not make it through this war. One way or another, no matter what side, this always ended with Regulus dead. She feels a stab of resentment for the dead boy.

"Were spies, we um have been for years. Regulus stole something from Voldemort, he uh he died to get it. He told us if he didn't make it back to bring it to you, that you would have the power to destroy it. It's with Pandora at the moment, we try to keep it moving so theres less of a chance it can be tracked, but we wanted to tell you now. I'm sorry. And I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell you, I know you never wanted to see me again but Pandora is telling Sirius and Barty the Potters." Evan was crying, and he was desperately trying to hide it. Then Dorcas realized she was crying to. They sat there and cried and cried, it could have been for hours the two of them cried.

She clears her throat and looks at the clock, "Marlene will be home soon, you should leave. And uh tell Pandora she, alone, can bring whatever it is over tomorrow afternoon." Dorcas wants to forgive them but she can't, not yet. And Regulus is dead, it doesn't feel real except for the way it's all too real.

Evan nods, "of course, whatever you need." he holds his hand for his wand and turns towards the door when he gets it, but hesitates. "I know I have no right to ask this, but Cas, can I have a hug?"

She's up before he finishes his sentence and pulling him into a hug "Sure Ev." she whispers into his ear as she rocks them, their the same height now, she used to have an inch on him. he huffs what might be a laugh. and before she knows it their letting go and he's almost out the door.

"See ya around Meadowes?"

"See you around Rosier."

And then he's gone and if she closes her eyes she can pretend that he was never here at all. That somewhere in the world the three boys are out there getting drunk and ruining peoples lives and growing up without her. The boys are spies and lied to her for years and Regulus is dead. She sinks down the closed door and sobs.

(She never does see Evan around, he died two months later)

#if it wasn't obvious the He evan mentions is dumbles #she and pandora do fix their relationship #she and barty are to far gone and by the time they are willing to try marlene is dead all dorcas think about is revenge #part of the reason regulus told them to go to dorcas was in hope they would take of eachother cus he wasn't there to help them anymore #what happens when pandora tells sirius is already posted #barty is telling the potters becuz reg dated them during the school years and barty has always had a strange friendship with james #pandora told sirius because reg asked her to. he never said why.

Are there any other wizarding families that are underexplored in canon and pique your interest in a similar way to the Blacks?

This is a unique function of what food my brain worms like to eat, but no one's doing it like the Blacks. The drama? The intrigue? The Gothic horror? The prodigal sons and lost daughters and killers and sinners and martyrs and saints? The wizard Catholicism of it all? The story of the House of Black is the best book never written.

#i do think the potters could benefit from fleshing out #like harry's got no cousins or grandparents on his dad's side and that's weird to me #because his parents were... 22? so... how early did james's parents die? and how? because they're not old enough for natural causes #though to be honest. if i could add one backstory to canon it wouldn't be the potters OR the blacks #it would be peter pettigrew and the story of his betrayal #most important decision in the whole fucking series. lynchpin of the novels' decade-spanning plot #and it's like. whoops. motivation machine broke! #WHY did he do it? we have no mcfucking clue #the potters and blacks are cool to think about but ultimately just extra dressing for the plot #understanding peter pettigrew is crucial to understanding why the novels happen and we simply don't! #EDIT: just remembered the pottermore canon that the Potters have james when they're much older and that's why they're not around #that's not satisfying to me for 2 reasons 1: wizards canonically have longer-than-normal lifespans #and 2: doesn't explain how/why the Evanses disappear after Lily's death #like I'm not saying they COULDN'T die — obviously could! my grandparents were all dead before my 20s #but that was like. cancer. and in one case aggressively accelerated liver failure #just like a throwaway line or something to clear it up would've been cool #since it's not so much a plot hole as a plot pothole #we can get over it but shit's smoother without

how well i think the marauders would do at just dance

james puts 100% in but looks like an absolute idiot, he’d end up coming 2nd and get really defensive.

sirius either goes in 100% or sits and moves his wrist while complaining about not wanting to move.

remus sits and just moves his wrist, he doesn’t really want to play but the others would make him.

mary just like knows the dances and it baffles everyone every time they play.

lily is pretty good at it but only does like 2 songs before she rage quits.

regulus refuses to play at first but eventually does when james asks him, he’s ok at it.

barty goes all in and ends up falling over and face planting more often than not.

evan takes it really seriously and will try to sabotage the others by stepping in front of them and stuff, he usually ends up getting banned from playing.

pandora just does her own little dance but usually ends up winning somehow.

marlene is alright at it but is usually too busy singing along to the song and misses the directions.

dorcas hates it and refuses to play, she takes pictures and videos of everyone else though.

Lily: You're insufferable!! Sirius: And you're ginger. Lily: Your jokes are unfunny and make no sence! Sirius: And you're ginger. Lily: Your grades are lower than The Black Lake! Sirius: And you're ginger. Lily: You're the worst Beater Hogwarts has seen in centuries! Sirius: And you're ginger. Lily: Your hair isn't even that pretty!

Au where everything is the same except instead of Snape hearing the prophecy it's regulus but because he isn't a shitstain(tm), he immediately tells Dumbledore what voldemort plans to do not because he has a massive crush on james BUT BECAUSE KILLING PEOPLE IS WRONG SNIVELLUS!!! ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE ONLY SAVING THEM TO WIN POINTS WITH THE GIRL WHO YOU USED A RACIAL SLUR AGAINST!

Cue various shenanigans where everyone still thinks regulus is evil but he's actually just anxiety ridden gay twink who can't say no and was forced into joining a cult by his parents who is trying his best to keep the love of his life(james), the love of his love's life(lily) and their child alive because he just wants james to be happy whether it is with him or not and if that means betraying a dark lord who literally holds your life in their hands and spying for dollar store Gandalf then so be it!

Bonus points if it ends up being jegulily

plot bunny of the day…

Jegulus breaks up after Reg gets the mark, but ends up having sex one time that James is at Hogwarts for Order stuff at the end of Regulus’ last year at Hogwarts, which leaves Reg pregnant (yes, Reg is trans in this). Regulus then proceeds to tell absolutely no one about this kid, not sure even Barty or Pandora and just tells everyone he has to go to Paris for some potion training for a year (which he actually does) and disappears from public life for a year.

When he comes back, he buys an apartment for himself and his son (let’s call him Leo, I’ll come up with something better later) where no one is ever allowed except for Kreacher and Leo’s tutors. Now, this kid isn’t secluded from public life, he has a very normal life actually, just he’s never seen in public with Regulus. Why? Well, initially it was just because he didn’t want his family to know about how the kid came to be, but he also wasn’t willing to abandon the last gift James ever gave to him, as he’ll later refer to his son.

Then, however, the fact that our Regulus is still planning Voldemort’s downfall with Pandora also came into the picture, so he’s afraid that if they get discovered little Leo might be in danger. After that the story goes pretty much as we know it, except Reg doesn’t die in the cave since he tells Pandora that he’s going because this time he’s not taking chances, he has to go back to Leo. He also doesn’t leave a note for obvious reasons.

However, he knows that he’s still very much in danger of one day never coming home to Leo, so as soon as Leo turns 5-years-old he gives him a letter and a jar of chocolates that he’ll refill periodically, then he tells him to eat one and only one (he charms the jar) every day and that if the chocolates ever run out he has to take the letter and find James Potter.

A few days after Leo Black’s 8th birthday, the chocolates run out, and an 8-year-old shows up on James’ doorstep with a letter from a long lost lover that goes:

James, my dear angel,

if you’re reading this, I’m probably dead or worse. I will never be able to thank you for everything you have given me, and I’m so incredibly sorry to have to place this on you, but I have one last miracle to ask you…

#I AM EATING MY HANDS #I WANT TO WRITE THIS RIGHT NOW #NO I LOVE THIS SO MUCH #oh also James is not with Lily in this one #Reg also tells James to not tell anyone that Leo is Reg’s child #just to be safe #and the lies this man comes up with shahiaksnjwk #pls it would be so funny #also very angsty #but overall cute #also pretty sure I’m gonna make it like regulus isn’t dead #because I physically cannot write him dying #my keyboard actually catches fire when I try to #jegulus #jegulus fic #jegulus as dads #jegulus fanfiction #jegulus dads #marauders #james potter #regulus black #james x regulus #fic: what’s left of us

"What do you wish to be when you grow up?"

Lily: I'm not sure. But I want a happy calm life. Married with kids. Perhaps a teacher. Or a CEO boss.

Mary: I'd love to be some kind of celebrity or influencer. Maybe an actress, model or fashion designer.

Dorcas: I like to think more about the present. Plans change all the time, why not enjoy the moment and see where the future takes you?

Marlene: hot rich sugar mommy.

Girls:

Dorcas: can I change my answer?
