the real reason Peter and Barty are friends is bc they both liked their bsf (Peter liked james and barty liked regulus) but the person they liked didn't liked them but liked sm1 else so they were forced to move on and they both bond over that

Peter sometimes needs reassurance about being loved, but in a quiet "I'm here" way
So Benjy has charmed a bracelet to warm gently every time he thinks about Peter, giving him a reminder that he's loved.
There are days when the bracelet is never cold, a perpetual heat that never leaves Peter's wrist.

Love
Heavily inspired by/ dedicated to @sebbianas
The marauders are all there for Peter’s engagement, because of course they are. Why wouldn’t they be? They’re his closest friends. His family.
Even now, even ten years after they’ve left school and scattered around the country, they’re here. They wouldn’t miss it for the world.
“Have you stopped crying yet?” James asks Peter, walking over to where he’s ordering a drink at the bar.
The surprise engagement party following the proposal is at a local pub, one that they’ve all frequented over the years, and James has made sure that everyone who loves Peter was invited to share in this important moment in his oldest friend’s life.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Peter smiles as he hands James his drink and orders another.
James laughs. “I don’t blame you one bit, mate. I was the same at my engagement, and I was the one proposing.”
Peter chuckles, shaking his head. “I wish I could’ve seen that.”
“Oh, I was an absolute mess.”
“You still were an hour later when you told us.”
“That was me composed!”
Peter laughs again. “You really weren’t.”
James rolls his eyes and shifts his gaze to his husband, who is currently talking to Remus and Evan at one of the tables across the room. He laughs at something Remus says, expression as warm as it gets in public, and James can’t help the smile that appears on his face at the sight.
He’s so in love.
“I sometimes wonder why Reg said yes, honestly.”
Peter scoffs.
James frowns at him. “What?”
“You’re very easy to love, James. I know that first hand.”
“I mean yeah, but I mean more romantically.”
“So do I.”
James’ expression shifts to one of confusion now. “I’m lost.”
“Wait.” Peter looks at him. “You didn’t know I was in love with you?” He rolls his eyes, fondness evident in them. “Of course you didn’t, you’re so oblivious.”
James is silent for a good ten seconds, his brain racing to catch up to whatever the fuck is happening right now.
“Hold on, hold on, wait.” James meets Peter’s now amused expression. “You were what?”
Peter nods. “Oh yeah, I was big time in love with you for years. I don’t know exactly when it started, but it was some time when we were growing up. Remus dealt with a lot of it when we started school. He figured it out pretty much immediately.”
The coherent part of James’ brain is working overtime. “Hold up, Moony knew?”
“Pretty much everyone knew, Prongs. It was glaringly obvious. Well, I don’t think Sirius did actually, but he’s just as bad as you are.”
James pauses as he considers his friend’s words, “Wait, you’re not still…?”
“Oh, no! God no. I’m very much in love with my fiancé now.” He smiles as he says the word fiancé, his eyes flicking to where Benjy is chatting with Sirius before landing back on James.
“Oh good.” James takes a breath.
“I’d fear for my life if I did, honestly,” Peter smirks as James raises an eyebrow. “I don’t know if you’ve noticed but Regulus is a little bit protective of you.”
James laughs at this. He supposes he is, not that James is complaining in the slightest.
“You two were meant for each other, you know,” Peter says, and James nods. He does know. He knows it more than he knows anything else in the world. He was made to love Regulus Black, and he’s so lucky that he gets to every day of his life.
“It’s that, right there,” Peter says with a smile, “the look you get when you even think about him. It’s that look that made me sober up and realise I couldn’t love you any more,” his smile turns into a grin, “well that and the very loud pining. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so happy to be constantly insulted.”
James laughs. “They were affectionate insults!”
“Either way, they worked. You found the love of your life, and I realised you weren’t the love of mine. Two birds, I guess.”
A second of silence passes between them. Peter speaks again.
“He reminded me of you at first, you know?”
James raises his eyebrows at that. He loves Benjy, but they are very different people. “Really?”
“Yeah, he knew I wasn’t interested and pursued me anyway.” He laughs and James hits his arm.
“I’ll have you know, Regulus was very interested.”
“And Lily?”
“In my defence, I had no idea she was a lesbian.”
“Oblivious.”
James pouts before speaking, his voice quieter than it was a moment ago, “I’m sorry.”
Peter’s returning smile is soft. “Don’t be. I’m so glad you didn’t love me because I’m so happy now. More than I ever thought possible.” His eyes move to Benjy again and there’s just so much love in them that James almost has to look away for a second to avoid intruding on his friend’s inner thoughts.
“You two are meant for each other, you know,” James repeats Peter’s previous sentiment and his smile widens.
“I know.”
The silence between them is broken by the cheerful sounds of the pub, the sounds of their friends all coming together to witness and celebrate the love that Peter’s found, the love that he deserves.
“You were wrong before though,” James says and Peter turns to look at him, waiting for him to finish his thought, “I do love you. I always will.”
Peter smiles. “I love you too, James.”
Something warm settles in James’ chest and he takes a sip of his drink. His tone turns teasing, “I’m just confirming that it’s platonic love.”
“Oh, fuck off.” Peter pushes off the bar and starts walking towards their friends.
“Love you!” James calls after him.
“Stop hitting on me, I’m engaged!” Peter calls back.
James laughs as he watches him walk away, joining his fiancé and settling into the arm that wraps around his waist, Benjy pressing a kiss to his head before continuing his conversation.
James is so happy for them. He’s so happy for all of them. In fact, he loves and appreciates every single person in this room.
Platonically, for the most part.

More Ballroom Dancing AU brain rot:
James's first dance partner was Lily and he was in love with her. She actually thought she was in love with him too so they dated for a while until she realized that she just loved dancing with him.
They broke up, it was amicable even though it secretly broke James, and they continued dancing with each other competitively for a couple more years until Lily decided that she would rather do it recreationally. (this is where she met Pandora who would eventually become her dance partner.)
Since James lost his dance partner, he kind of felt lost for a while, dancing with a few different people over the years;
His stint with Marlene lasted 6 months (I'm pretty sure that's how long a competitive season lasts?) and ended because she simply hated the sparkly gowns she had to wear
Dorcas lasted a year and 1/2, and their partnership ended because she danced with Marlene once at a random pair-up at a party after she and James won their second competition, and they were just way too compatible to leave it at that. She and Marlene end up becoming a permanent pair after Marlene realizes that she gets to wear the suit this time~
Then James ended up dancing with Benjy and that was fun! Until they admitted that they had wanted to dance with Peter the whole time... They lasted 2 months.
James is like this accidental matchmaker. Everyone he dances with ends up with someone else who they usually meet through James in one way or another. Like, it's bad. It's actually gotten to the point that rumors are going around the dance community that James might have a similar reputation to Barty, in that he's just too hard to dance with since he can't seem to keep a dance partner for more than a few months at a time lately. He genuinely thinks he's cursed now.

Not to be annoying but I miss OAO so much I feel physically sick. Thanks for this masterpiece <3
aww no don't feel sick !! here, have a treat XO
The thought that Benjy has had Remus like this makes Sirius feel more than a little bit crazy. It makes his thrusts a little rougher, his grip a little tighter, his kisses a little more biting. He desperately wants to flip Remus over and stare into his eyes as he fucks him, to make sure that he’s the only person in Remus’s mind right now. To make sure Remus doesn't forget exactly who is fucking him.
XD

He brings the best snacks on road trips
Will forget everything but the smallest of details
Like oh he can't really remember ur name but he does know that you played soccer for 2 years when you were in primary school

Would have loved Lord of the rings
autistic but like the type that like when he tells ppl they're like "rlly? You don't seem autistic."
Hates running with a burning passion
had an eating disorder at some point but he got help for it
Still wears makeup and stuff even though he's trans bc fuck gender roles :)
He's first friends were James and Marlene (I heard someone say barty as well and I love that)
Hates the nickname wormy but is fine with wormtail
Constantly has seasonal allergies
Panic attacks
Yk the one person in troto that plays Peter? Ya that is hands down the best face claim/fan cast
Knows how to crochet
I feel like music would help calm him down
Like during panic attacks or stuff like that
Has hair that's like down to his shoulders but layers
100% had a crush on james when they were kids
Peter,evan, and barty are all besties
PANDORA AND PETER GOSSIP TOGETHER
Peter is the only one that all the girls get along with lmao
So Peter is invited to every girls night bc they love him
He clenches and unclenches his fists when he's angry (HELP THAT ONE MEME PLS)
He knows EVERYTHING. and I mean EVERYTHING. who's dating who, who has a crush on who, who doesn't like who, who pretends not to like who. He knows it all
So does pandora and sometimes lily and they all gossip
Peter, Evan and lily are js a group of trans asexuals. No I will not explain
(I lied, I will explain a bit) "My ribs are bruised again" "same" "lol can't relate" "fuck you Evans" "ilyt rosier" (Peter, Evan, lily, Evan, lily)
Benji is his queer platonic partner :)
HE'S SO GOOD AT COOKING
LIKE EXTREMELY GOOD
Peter cooks for Remus when the full moon hits
And he cooks for james when he's feelings down
and he cooks for Sirius when he's having trouble in anyway w smth
Idc what u say all the marauders loved Peter and they were all equal
Peter would he such a gas lighter 😭😭
"Wdym? That's always been there. Your imagining things. "
Peter and reg are pretty good friends actually lol
"He was a death eater tho!!!" Ok and?
Peter would do that thing where if he's lying down and doing smth he'll always have one arm in the air. No one knows why he does this but their js used to it at this point
Anxiety is a bitch and Peter has it
Ppl thinks he's kinda slow sometimes but it's js cuz he needs to triple check everything and needs clear instructions bc he doesn't want to mess anything up
Would have so many pillows
He loves plants
And mushrooms
James, Marlene and him are all trans and they transitioned together
Painted nails>>>>>
He would have different themes for he's nails each time he painted them
The moon phases for Remus, Suns for james, constellations for Sirius and regulus, stars for Marlene, flowers for lily, and hearts for Mary (her name means beloved), roses for evan, snakes for barty, jewels for Dorcas, Ravens for Benji, and crystals n spirals for pandora
He also paints Evan's nails
He's always tapping little patterns on everything and sometimes he's friends will notice and try to tap the same pattern (it normally takes them a while to figure it out)
Fidgets a lot
Everyone thinks that Peter and Sirius are not as good as friends are they are w the rest of the marauders but in reality, Sirius and Peter will js playfully insult each other (nothing that will actually hurt but there are a lot of death threats<3) and laugh abt it later
"Oi, Pete, you look a lot like a rat!" "I will tear you limb from limb siri" "the feeling is mutual"
He would also love vines as a type of room decor
Okie that's all who should I do next??? Pandora or lily?? Or sm1 else???

Figure You Out by VIOLÀ but it’s Barty, singer, singing at a show where he sees Reg after writing the song about Reg and James.
Like Reg and Barty locking gazes and you can see that Reg knows it’s about him and Barty winks before turning to the crowd to continue.
And James not understanding because not a single soul knows about the short relationship Barty and Reg had.
And Evan (who’s in the duo with Barty) is trying to explain to James what happened with just a look. But James doesn’t understand because he can’t read minds.
Then a few shows later Edgar shows up (still on that) and Evan is playing directly towards HIM
And it’s a mess of Evan trying to seduce Edgar and Barty trying to seduce Reg.
Bonus if Edgar is dating Benjy Fenwick (but boom they break up and Benjy goes with Peter)
And James dating Reg but they break up so James goes with Lily
And Xeno and Benjy are Edgar’s best friends so therefore Pandora’s so (including Evan) it’s a big group (but Amelia Bones and Emma Vanity and Alice Fortescue are the og friends instead of Evan and Pandora)
•So the group is Amelia, Emma, Alice, Xeno, Benjy, Edgar
•with invitation to Evan, Pandora, and Peter
And Barty and Sirius are friends because I said so
And Remus and Regulus are friends because I said so
And Dorlene is happening. Dorcas is Barty and Evan’s manager and Marlene is security
And Barty is openly gay in every way possible while Evan isn’t closeted but he’s a 50/50 and no one knows for sure
And Evan had an affair with Emmeline so Rita Skeeter writes about that and there’s a rumor and that rumor made Edgar not date Evan because “Evan was dating Emmeline” and he “didn’t want to be the reason they broke up”

Part 4 of Let them be | 1k words
> Part 3 | Part 5 (to come) <
Credit to @starsarestories for suggesting including Hagrid in marauders fics!
Let people want none
"Comin'!" With a loud creak, the wooden door opened wide. "Ah, Peter! What'cha doin' here? Come in!" Rubeus Hagrid was a half giant who was Hogwarts' gamekeeper. He was extremely sweet, despite his intimidating figure. He had guided Pettigrew and Potter on their first day there and they quickly warmed up to the hairy man. Peter went to his cabin from time to time.
"Hello Hagrid. I'm honestly hiding from my peers, you're a calmer presence so I came here. Hope that's alright?"
"O' course! Hungry?" The man infamous for his cooking skills. If Hagrid invited him for tea, he felt bad refusing, eating the rock hard pastries he made. The flavour wasn't bad. It was just hard to chew.
"No, thank you."
"Tea?"
"Yeah, alright. Thanks." He prepared the tea and sat opposite to the student.
"So. What'cha hidin' for? Did ye get into a fight?" No, but he had been further from starting one.
"No. It's just… It's James. He keeps messing with me, saying I fancy this person. But I don't! And it's really frustrating…"
"Ye told him that already?"
"I keep telling him Benjy and I are just friends- Benjy is the one I'm talking about. Benjamin Fenwick, Ravenclaw, a year above." Hagrid nodded once, maybe he knew Ben. Or he was just being polite. "But James doesn't believe me. Says I'm in bloody denial. But I don't like Benjy that way!"
"Yer just not gay, that's alrigh'. Ye can be close to a friend."
"It's not that… I never fancied anyone. At all. Girls or boys. Sybill liked me at one point and she's sweet and passionate and pretty but… I just don't feel it. Maybe I'm broken…"
"Nonsense! Yer so young, ye'll find the right person, don't worry boy." Wormtail exhaled after taking a sip from the hot wonky mug.
"You don't understand, I… I don't think I'm capable of feeling that, you know? Like… everyone is coupling now. James is head over heels for Evans as usual. I think she's gaining a liking for him, which will make him impossible to be with. Marlene and Dorcas are a couple. Oh, Remus and Sirius got together by the way."
"Ah, did they? Good for 'em. I think they make a good couple."
"Yes, finally. They're two oblivious idiots. But anyways. Everyone is all lovey-dovey and I just… don't get it? I don't see what's so special about being in love. If anything it seems annoying and disgusting. And everyone is expecting me to join in but I don't want to…"
"Then don't. Simple. Ye gotta learn not to fall under pressure, Peter." He did have a point. Saying 'no' was a very difficult task.
"But what if I never feel fulfilled?"
"Lemme tell ye a secret, Pete. Ya don't need a partner nor family to be happy. I'm happy and haven't had a girlfriend since my years at Hogwarts. It's just been me and my animals. It's enough for me. Some people, like James, need love to feel fulfilled but not everyone. Some people don't care about it or do not wish for it. One example is Professor Mcgonagall."
"She's never had a partner?"
"Not as far as I'm aware. She much rather have her space and doin' other things. An' that works. Maybe it's what works for ye too." His head of house was a brilliant witch. Tired, for sure, but who wouldn't be when you have the Marauders as your students?
"I see… Maybe you're right. But how do I tell people? Everyone will think I'm odd."
"Just say ye don' feel that attraction. Ye prefer friendship. Or don't say nothin'. Ye don't owe anyone explanations, yeah? Do what feels best for ye." Wormtail relaxed. He needed to hear it. That he wasn't broken. He wasn't the only one like that. And it was okay.
"Thanks, Hagrid. I'm glad I came to talk to you."
"Anytime. Always good to have som' company. Ye welcome to come over whenever, alright?" The boy smiled and nodded, finishing his tea and saying his goodbyes.
"You won't believe it! I got my hands on an Incredible Hulk! Can't wait to read it!" He might not have been a scholar like Remus. And big literacy books were boring to him. Comics, however? He owned a huge collection. Marvel was his favourite.
"That's great! You'll have to tell me about it when you finish." Benjy was the only one really willing to listen to him ramble about the things he liked. James read comics too, but it was hard to have a conversation about it, Prongs always ended up being the only one talking, too absorbed to notice he was cutting off Wormy. It wasn't his fault, yet it still made the short boy feel invisible. Not with Benjamin, though.
"You can read it afterwards, if you want. And then we can discuss it."
"Thanks but I prefer it when you explain it. You're cute when you're excited." Pettigrew wasn't stupid. He knew his friends were right when they said Fenwick fancied him. He would just rather pretend he didn't know. Pretend it's not true. Live in ignorant bliss.
"Oh, thanks. So uhm… Have you been drawing?" Ravenclaws were mostly known for their intelligence and academic values. What people often forgot was how it was also the House of creativity.
"Yeah, here and there." A comfortable pause followed, the mood shifted as soon as the silence broke. "Pete… Can I tell you something?" Oh no. No… No, please don't confess. Please. Everything was going so well…
"Sure, what's up?" His voice sounded casual, even though his stomach took a toll. If this was anything like what people described as 'butterflies in their stomach', Wormtail was glad he didn't feel attraction.
"You probably know this already- or you don't and are oblivious. But… I like you. As in I fancy you. Have been for a while." The Ravenclaw probably wasn't expecting that reaction. Maybe a rejection, an unsureness or if he got lucky, a kiss. Instead he was met with sadness. Pettigrew looked down, leg bouncing from anxiety. "Please say something…"
"I can't…" Voice broken, much how he felt inside. "I-I can't love like that… It's not-"
"'It's not you, it's me', heard that one."
"No, Benjy! Listen to me, please… I don't think I'm capable of having romantic feelings. I can't bring myself to be interested in any of those things. Kisses grosses me, couples annoy me, the whole societal norms in regards to love leave me bloody fuming! I don't know why I'm like this. I just really don't like that sappy stuff. It's not for me. And if I did like it and feel romantic attraction, I would've definitely dated you. It just doesn't feel right to be with anyone… I'm sorry for giving you any wrong signals…"
"It's okay. I thought there was something, sorry for misinterpreting our relationship." No, don't go!
"No! Benjy there is! Just because it's platonic doesn't mean it's not special! You're my best friend…"
"I… I thought it was the Marauders?"
"Well… James is sort of on your level. But you've been climbing your way up, I feel. Remus is a good friend and Sirius too but… Nothing compared to you. You make me feel loved, like I'm worth something."
"You're worth the whole world…"
"Then let's not change things… I'd really hate it if you stopped being my friend because of this…" No, go back inside! Bloody tears!
"Okay. If that's what you want, I'm happy to just be near you. We can keep our Wednesday tea dates. Platonically!" The small boy chuckled. Benjy was the best, he made everything better. Wormtail could always count on him.
"I'd like that." Ben opened his arms wide and Wormy walked there in baby steps until his head was against his friend's chest. He let himself be hugged, taken care of. "Are you mad?"
"At you? Never."
"I'm sorry for this. You're truly special, Ben."
"So are you. As a lover or a friend. So are you, Petey..." They stayed like that for a while. And then they carried as usual, their bond the same as before, if not stronger. Things hadn't gone the way Benjamin wanted them to, but the Marauder knew he got touched by being called a best friend. And Peter meant every word of it. Not loving romantically didn't mean not loving at all. Platonic love was just as important, just as intense, just as real.

Oct 14- RavenRock- Fall Baking
1,271 words
“Will you teach me how to bake?” Benjy asked one night when they were sitting on the couch.
“Sure. What do you want to bake?” Peter was curious now. He’s never wanted to bake before.
“I don’t know yet.”
“Okay?” Peter asked slowly. “What brought on this sudden need to learn how to bake?”
“Oh, my mum’s birthday is coming up and I wanted to make her something,” Benjy said after a minute.
That conversation was a week ago so now Peter was in the kitchen and getting everything ready. Benjy was coming over today and he was going to teach him how to bake. Cupcakes are simple enough, right? Peter loved baking. His mother taught him when he was younger and now all of his friends ask him to bake them things. He didn’t mind it that much as long as he had enough time to make it right and not rush through it. He has a process and doesn’t like to deviate from it. When Peter looked at all of the ingredients spread out on the centre island in his kitchen, he decided that he should probably get some stuff out for biscuits too. It’s pretty hard to mess up biscuits.
Peter looked at the time and he still had an hour before Benjy was supposed to show up. He made sure that he had the recipe ready and started portioning out some of the ingredients. He would start with an easy recipe first like a basic vanilla cupcake. Once he thinks Benjy has that down, then they can try some of the fun Halloween designs that Peter found when he was scrolling through Pinterest this morning. He really wanted to try and make some apple pie cupcakes.
There was a knock on the door and it brought Peter out of his thoughts. He wiped his hands on the tea towel that was sitting on the counter and went to answer it. Benjy was beaming on the other side and gave Peter a kiss before coming inside the flat. They walked into the kitchen and Peter nearly ran into Benjy who had stopped short in the entryway.
“Why’d you stop?” Peter asked with a little laugh.
“How much are we baking?” Benjy responded and when Peter followed his eyeline, he could see why it looked like a lot.
“Oh. I wanted to give you some options of what you wanted to learn.” Peter shrugged as he moved past Benjy and grabbed his apron off the hook by the door.
“Oh, okay. You scared me for a second there.” Benjy huffed out a laugh.
“Wash your hands first and then you can grab the extra apron off the hook,” Peter instructed before he pulled out the bowl that they would need regardless of what Benjy wanted to bake.
Benjy did as he was told and after he had on the apron, he sidled up to Peter and gave him a little shove which earned him a glare and Benjy laughed. Peter was trying to take a deep breath as he remembered how he was when his mum started to teach him how to bake. He was a little terror, always making a mess but then again, he was six when they started. Benjy was an adult. He should have more control than six-year-old Peter did, right?
“So, what do you want to bake? I have stuff for cupcakes or biscuits,” Peter said as he gestured towards the variety of ingredients on the counter. 
“Which would be easier?”
“Umm, they are both pretty simple so it’s up to you,” Peter shrugged. He knew which one he preferred but he wasn’t the one making something for Benjy’s mother.
“Cupcakes,” Benjy declared after a minute of contemplation.
Peter moved the ingredients for the biscuits off to the kitchen table so it wasn’t so overwhelming and then he didn’t have to worry about Benjy grabbing the wrong thing. Once he had everything situated again, Peter showed Benjy the recipe and had him preheat the oven to 180℃ and put the cupcake liners in the pan. Peter grabbed the flour, baking powder, and salt as well as the bowl and measuring cups.
“What’s next?” Benjy asked as he bounced up next to Peter.
“We need to whisk these together. Grab that measuring cup and put twelve ounces of flour in that bowl.”
Benjy grabbed the flour, scooped out twelve ounces, and plopped it into the bowl, causing a cloud of flour to form and they both started coughing. Peter was trying to clear the air and his lungs of the white substance when a thought occurred to him. This is going to be exactly like when he was learning how to back as a six-year-old and he had to bite back the groan that wanted to escape.
“Okay, let’s try again. Next time pour it in closer to the bowl so it doesn’t cause another cloud.” Peter laughed a little and Benjy gave him a sheepish look. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Benjy measured out the flour, baking powder, and salt without making another cloud this time and slowly whisked it together as Peter showed him how to do it. Peter pulled over the electric stand mixer and plugged it in before ensuring that Benjy incorporated everything together well enough. 
“Okay, now we are going to beat the sugar and butter together until it is light and fluffy in the mixer.”
Peter gave Benjy the recipe and watched as he measured out the ingredients and started the beater. Once that was done, Peter added the eggs and vanilla before pulling over the flour mixture and showing him how to add it into the mixer and alternating it with the milk. Luckily, there was minimal mess this time and everything was incorporated nicely. They scooped the mixture into the baking pan and put it in the oven for twenty minutes.
“Is that it?” Benjy asked, a little disappointed.
“For the actual cupcake part, yes, but we still need to make the icing unless you want to use the store-bought icing,” Peter said casually. He wasn’t a fan of store-bought icing, so he was hoping that Benjy wanted to make some.
“Let’s make the icing,” Benjy declared.
“Buttercream or whipped cream?”
“What’s the difference?”
“Buttercream is sweeter and whipped cream is lighter.”
“Which is easier?”
“Whipped, in my opinion,” Peter said easily.
“Okay.”
Peter put the ingredients for the buttercream on the table with the rest of the discarded items and pulled the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla to the centre of the counter. Before they started on the icing, Peter and Benjy cleaned up the mess from the cupcakes. Peter showed him how to whip the cream and add the sugar and vanilla before letting him try it himself. The timer went off for the cupcakes and Peter took them out of the oven to cool.
When he turned back around, he was met with a smear of whipped cream on his nose and a boyfriend with a giant grin on his face. Peter took a deep breath, moved past Benjy to get his own icing, and chased him around the flat after Benjy took off running when he saw what Peter was doing. When they finally made it back to the kitchen, they both had icing all over their faces and in their hair. Needless to say, Peter had to remake the icing. Once they had cleaned themselves off and the cupcakes were cool, they iced them and enjoyed one before cleaning up their mess and sitting down for a movie.

this is for everyone who is asking “who’s benjy fenwick?”
(i have not reread hp in a very long time) but from what i know he was only ever mentioned twice in the series and it was on book 5 - ootp this was when moody was showing harry the first members or the order
Tumblr media Tumblr media
he is canonically dead (like every character in this fandom) they never recovered his body just bits of it
that is the canon benjy fenwick
now for my version of who benjy fenwick is
benjy fenwick is a ravenclaw prefect and then later on headboy. he is a year older than the marauders.
he became friends with the marauders at his 6th year (at their 5th year) when he was paired with remus lupin for preject duties and they became fast friends
sirius (who is still in denial and is stupid) got jealous over remus and benjy spending a lot of time together decided to bribe peter into finding out if something is going on with them. peter just went with it hoping to cause drama so sirius and remus could get their shit together
peter meets benjy and instantly falls in love with him
yes i ship him with peter. their ship name is ravenrock raven for benjy and rock for peter (peter means rock/stone)
other post that i made about benjy and ravenrock
1, 2, and 3
if you want to know more about ravenrock just check the tags 👍🫡

Every time Benjy is with Peter he gives him full attention.
They're out with friends? Benjy talks to Edgar Bones while looking at his boyfriend.
He's doing homework? You know that Peter is curled into his pocket as a rat, and Benjy's cuddling him while repeating charm.
Peter doesn't do that (he's friend with Sirius Black, you can't give someone yours full attention while staying in the same room as Sirius) but makes sure to have Benjy's favourite sweets always in his bag and a napkin during spring (Benjy is allergic to pollen)
