james: eugh sirius why are you bringing your loser little brother with us?

sirius *shrugging*: idk mum thinks he's a shut in and told me to get him out more. i thought this would be educational

peter: but sirius, pranking is...well, serious business

remus *nodding*: yeah it's not that we don't want him around, but this is an important one!

james: exactly, like we can't fit a fifth person under the cloak to sneak these pixies into the dorms, especially when we still have to figure out all the passwo-

regulus: have pettigrew turn into a rat, sirius you become a dog if you keep to the shadows you'll be fine. james, remus, and i can fit under the cloak

everyone: but how did you-

regulus: do i look like an imbecile? obviously you're animagi. anyways the slytherin password is emeralds, the hufflepuff barrel is to the right-yes sirius of course i know the rhythm, and ravenclaw's puzzle is always easy i sneak in there all the time

everyone:

regulus: also why stop at pixies? that's boring. here i'll call over the bloody baron. we're friends and i think he has a few nastier creatures we can sick on them

everyone:

james: ok, cool. sounds like a plan :)

james *internally*: oh...oh

ok but if the marauders survived think about potions master regulus and dada professor remus going to school every year and their loser boyfriends pining at kings cross, giving them a goodbye far more dramatic than any of the first years’ parents

…

fav marauders dynamic: the triple cross

regulus, snape, and peter

none of them have alliances to either side, only to themselves. as the war progresses they each individually decide they want to try and end it. regulus is the first to commit to the idea and barely escapes with his life after getting the locket. he is presumed dead and utilizes it to his advantage in the war, forming his own front. eventually snape and peter become spies, peter for the death eaters, snape for the order. they realize what the other is doing and become tentative allies. when james and lily's lives are threatened, their alliance becomes stronger, each wanting to save one. regulus catches wind of snape and peter's double crossing and decides that he will need help with the horcruxes as he keeps reaching dead ends. the three team up, none of them particularly loyal but all of them desperate enough to try.

it is the ultimate triple cross.

and it ends the war halloween night, when voldemort opens the potter's front door to see his right hand man, his spy, and a long dead kid standing there, wands pointed and the desecrated remains of the horcruxes scattered at their feet.

regulus and remus have tumblrs and nothing else

peter is an instagram reels and youtube shorts warrior (he’s too scared to download tiktok)

james has every sports app known to man on his phone and is one of those people who constantly have a million instagram stories up because he reposts every single thing his fav teams and friends post

sirius is highkey famous on tiktok and instagram and prides himself on only following his close friends

barty tried and failed to be a twitch streamer and switched to kik where he found more success

evan does not have any form of social media at all and makes fun of barty constantly

lily and mary are undercover ao3 famous and run secret fandom accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers, mary also runs a successful fashion tiktok and lily runs a semi successful booktube account

marlene uses social media exclusively for stalking and is never on her main account, she’s the fbi friend who can figure out a phone number and address if you give her a first name and lousy description

pandora is tumblr famous and weirdly popular on letterboxd and pinterest

dorcas has a following to rival sirius’s on the big platforms, but posts a lot more than him and gets brand deals sometimes which she finds flattering but unnecessarily

remus is so vans gay

regulus is so converse gay

“You play football, Potter?”

“Yeah, why?”

“Well you just don’t seem the type. A little bulky, no?”

James laughed, looking down at himself. “I like to say muscular. Honestly I’m surprised that you play football. You’re so skinny. Are you a kicker?”

“I mean,” Regulus frowned as they turned the corner, the green of the field beginning to come into view. “I would hope so. That’s kind of…the entire point of the game?”

James’s brow furrowed, but he shrugged and kept walking, leading Regulus to the entrance gate of the stadium where the team was practicing. Regulus suddenly grabbed James’s arm, pulling them into an abrupt halt. His heart began to pound and he looked at James in panic.

“Potter, what is that?”

“What is what?” James asked, thoroughly confused.

“That!” Regulus cried, gesturing toward the field where several giant teenage boys were pumpelling into each other. “What are they doing?”

“Practicing,” James said, a look of bewilderment clouding his face. “For football.”

“This isn't football! This is some…some….some bastardized form of rugby! Why are they tackling each other?”

A look of drawing comprehension came upon James and he began to laugh. “Soccer.”

“What?”

“Y-you-” and now James was beginning to howl with mirth. It was then that Regulus realized he was still holding on to James’s arm. He released him and stood back, anger roiling. “You play soccer! Not football. Oh, Reg you are in for it!”

ftm regulus ending up looking identical to sirius because sirius is so damn short and androgynous already. they both take advantage of this

☕️ MARAUDERS FIC: Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters

A marauders coffee shop/bookshop AU! ☕️

Sirius moved to London after rescuing his trans brother Regulus from their abusive family, determined to live out his dream of opening a record shop. He finds a space right next to the bookstore Waterbridge where Remus, Lily, Peter, and Dorcas work.

Marlene has been thrown out of her house and, armed with nothing but her guitar and an infatuation with a girl she saw at a pub her first night in London, moves into a flat with Gilderoy Lockhart, a recent a college drop-out with underwhelming writing abilities and a love for cologne.

Pandora and Evan Rosier have dropped out of school to work the family business ‘Ambrosia’ in order to support their younger brother Felix after the death of their parents.

As James and Sirius hatch harebrained schemes to get Lily and Remus to fall in love with them, Peter tries to find out what kind of cologne Gilderoy wears, Evan attempts to tell Barty how he truly feels, Dorcas and Marlene stumble through the flourishing of a new relationship, and Regulus navigates his new life, only one thing is certain: at the end of the day, we’re all just Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters.

🏹 MARAUDERS FIC: Dragon Rider

A marauders How To Train Your Dragon AU!!

Sirius Black is dealing with the pressure to become a dragon killer just like all of the vikings in his village, but he just doesn't have it in him, much to his father's disappointment. When Sirius finally captures his first dragon one night (the coveted Night Fury) he discovers a vast and terrible secret. Far from being uncontrollable and violent creatures, dragons are actually a race of humans that are able to shift into dragon form. And Sirius has just gravely injured Remus Lupin, a tall and withdrawn man whose rare and powerful dragon form makes him an outsider, even amongst his reptilian peers. As the two form an uneasy, but necessary friendship, Remus learns how to fly again while Sirius grapples with the complete shift in his world view and a fear of what must be done. It is up to Black and Lupin to fight for a change in the way dragons are treated before Sirius's father destroys Remus's home and before Remus's dragon friends can bring fire and wrath to Berk.
