Sirius and Lily not seeing each other's appeal.
not sirius stealing the girl even as padfoot š
(this is from a bleur fic iām enjoying and you can too here)
Sometimes Iām just scrolling and then horribly reminded that other peopleās favourite characters Arenāt sirius black and thatās just unfathomable
STOP IT YOU TWO WITH THE FLUFF IM GOING TO EXPLODE.
also the hair tie thing, marlene gave it to him one time and he never takes it off cause itās smells like her (always makes sure she return it to him after using it).
Sirius will literally have his hand in Marlene's back pocket at all times. They're standing casually talking to their friends and he slips his hand into the pocket of her jeans. He's standing so close to her that nobody notices he's doing it. It's simutaneously the most innocent and most erotic thing
mary mcdonald (supermodel): if weāre talking about superficial shit then no. she didnāt need any of it. not the diet pills not the drugs. but they were all the same. god, if youād seen how she and sirius looked together you wouldnāt have been able to take your eyes off of them. they were mesmerizing. together they couldāve ruled the whole world. but she didnāt want any of that. they keep they relationship private. they got help from all us. we were in it together. i wasnāt friends with any of them, not really, but we all tried our best to protect them. you can believe whatever you want, but if there ever were two people deserving of protection from this world, it was them.
okay, hear me outā¦
a story written in interview format where famous rock band āmaraudersā explain once and for all why they broke up back in 1981 following the dead of, according to the media at the time, a random groupie.
james, remus and peter have all lost contact with lead singer sirius black.
where is he now?
is he still alive?
and who was the groupie and why did it matter so much as to mark the end of such a promising band?
marlene mckinnonās name will haunt the narrative much as she did when she was alive.
(i blame daisy jones and the six for this and damiano david cover of āella baila solaā cause donāt tell that isnāt sirius singing about marlene)
sirius: i kissed her.
james: what?
remus: when?
peter: who?
sirius: about a month ago.
james: how am i just finding out?
remus: did she⦠kissed you back?
peter: who are we talking about?
remus: marlene.
sirius: yes. no. i donāt know, what does it matter?
remus: your kidding, right? tell me youāre joking.
james: how can you not know that?
peter: mckinnon?
sirius: yes, peter, how many marleneās have you met? and no, iām not joking. i mean, i understand how fundamental it is to know if a girl kiss you back or not, but we didnāt have time. i had to leave.
remus: you kissed her and then ran? and you wonder why she isnāt crawling back for more like the rest of them?
sirius: we were in the middle of āthe planā! james was there, he was calling me, thatās why i left.
james: how could iāve been there when i just found out you kissed marlene?
sirius: you came after it happened.
james: so i interrupted you?
sirius: no. yes. what does it matter? i kissed her and then left. it was a busy day.
james: you donāt sayā¦
remus: you left her cause you had to pulled a stupid prank?
james: hey, donāt take it out on āthe planā, it was brilliant!
sirius: thatās not the point, prongs.
james: right, sorry.
peter: what is the point though?
remus: the point is that sirius is a complete idiot. it amazes me how you managed to fool every girl in the castle into wanting to go out with you.
peter: except the one he wants.
sirius: thanks for that.
james: so what happened afterwards? when you saw her again, i mean.
sirius: nothing.
james: nothing?
remus: you havenāt talked to her since?
sirius: weāve talked, just⦠not about that. it all has been normal, as if nothing happened.
james: are you sure you kissed and you didnāt⦠imagine it?
peter: oh, iāve been there.
sirius: unlike you, peter, i donāt need to fantasize to get a girl to kiss me.
remus: donāt take it out on peter. it isnāt his fault you kissed her and then ran away.
sirius: i didnāt ran away.
james: this is getting nowhere. what are you gonna do now?
sirius: thatās what iām asking you lot.
āØThe witches of Black familyāØ
at this point i might as well turn the whole ballet academy au into a proper short story otherwise most of the post will end up being urls lol
james getting closer to marlene through quidditch, starting to think of her as a little sister, obviously thinking sirius feels the same way 'cause they share the same brain cells and then BOOM! sirius kissing her???!! what do you mean you like her??? SHE'S LIKE A SISTER TO US???
have u watched the game of thrones if yes can i have some game of thrones blackinnon?
how sad it would be if i say no lol
i have landed on something, iām going with my gut here.
i like the idea of knights watch/wilding but i fear i would make marlene too much like ygritte and no, we already knows how that one ends (š„²)
so⦠this is during the time where the starks are the kings of the north. orion is the hand of the king. he and his family donāt approve of the idea of bending the knee to the targaryen. i donāt know if there are direwolfs in this era, but even if there arenāt and they have zero defenses against dragons, the blacks are set to keep the north an independent kingdom.
sirius as the oldest son is meant to be lord of his house but, until he comes of age, heās the squire of the king or whatever they call the position where heās supposed to learn from under the wing of an important person š havenāt read the books in a while and i even forget the right words in spanish so, anywayā¦
james is possibly the older son to the king (i canāt picture sirius without him). sirius is obviously living in the castle along side his dad and the stark/potter family.
marlene however⦠is the daughter of the inn keeper. the inn where all the major lords and people from the south come and stay when they canāt be in the castle.
she has always wanted to learn how to ride like a boy and duel and fight with swords, very much like arya. but she canāt exactly ride the few horses his father has because theyāre not train for that or they are too old.
marlene is often working in the tavern and thatās how she meet sirius.
maybe he catches her trying to āstealā a sword or playing pretend, something like that when they are young and sirius would never admit it, but sheās the reason he keeps coming back even though he has full warm meals in the castle. he brings james from time to time.
now thatās all i have so far.
obviously whatever they have could never become something because of their situation, but in this scenario neither of them are content with their respective situation and most likely will take matters into their own hands.
