fanfiction is INSPIRED by canon it is under no obligation to be a rewrite of canon and to abide by the same rules or themes or plot points or exact characterizations of canon 😭😭😭 haven't we already established this
"I'm not s violent dog, I don't know why I bite"
But it's Barty fucking everything up on purpose and hurting everyone with it.
It's Regulus pushing everyone away for their own good.
It's Evan, unable to form an honest connection.
It's Pandora telling the truth even when it hurts.
It's Dorcas, becoming more angry and violent through the years. Not even knowing why she's angry.
Sirius is an unnervingly good liar.
He can look Dumbledore in the eye and lie about his whereabouts without blinking. James can never tell if Sirius is bluffing during poker, and Peter believes everything he says. But when Sirius tries to lie to Remus, Remus doesn't even speak. He just tilts his head slightly to the left and raises an eyebrow.
Sirius immediately crumbles, sighs, and admits, "Okay, fine, I stole the potion ingredients."
James is desperate to know what the "tell" is.
"What are your headcanons?" Whichever ones fit the story best tbh. Big fan of nuance. Give me conflicting hcs I'll eat em up every time. I'll read just about anything if it's well written
"X would never say/do that!" maybe not in another fic but in this one they do and boy if it aint a treat
