i think walburga wouldn’t care for orion being unfaithful as long as 1) he was discreet about it and 2) he didn’t get involve with anyone near her circle. after all, their marriage isn’t rooted in love.
problem is, orion and cygnuss have been feuding ever since they were kids (orion is closer to him in age than walburga) and finally he decided to start an affair with druella, who happens to be not only is his cousin’s wife but also the one woman walburga despises the most (she never wanted for her to marry his brother).
meanwhile alphard knows all this is happening and stays as far away as possible from all the drama, cause even if he tells his sister, she would find a way to blame him somehow, shot the messenger and all that.
not super into marauders content anymore but i had this wip and i had to finish it
James + Lily = Jily
Probably something James came up with during their 5th year at Hogwarts
Altho., Sirius prefers calling them "Lames" = Lily + James
R.A.B. ✧
sirius black was meant to inherit the fortunes of both his grandparents, one through alphard and one through orion.
this is what could turn him into potentially the most powerful wizard in the lense of society. we know the malfoys were the richest when we were introduced to them, but that was in a world where the black heir was in prison.
this is what sells to me the idea that neither walburga or orion wanted to play the family game and leave the task up to cygnuss, since alphard didn’t played along either.
walburga and orion marriage was a powerful move. together they ensured the next heir to be powerful whilst securing the family line. but also, there’s a chance they had regulus not as the spare, or at least not in the sense for him to become the heir in case something happens with sirius, but more as to spare him of any duties.
they could’ve put all the expectations and pressure onto sirius and simultaneously free up his youngest to be who ever he wanted to be, an option they didn’t have.
sometimes you write things for the plot, the drama, the twist. other times you write because you need someone to do it.
also if you’d like to read some gossip marauders au @genderfluidluna it’s currently working on a gossip girl au and it’s really good!
you should write a marauders (blackinnon) fic set in a Bridgerton-like setting! (high society, marriage mart, gossip column!). I looove ur writings❣️
omg thank u!! 💗
that’s sounds interesting but i fear i would struggle a lot with time period accuracy in terms of language, common phrases and things like that (not that i would mind that much re-reading some classic in english to immerse myself in it).
you have for sure given me something to think about!
I did a thing. A smut of sorts.
Summary:
They were alive.
They were stubborn.
And Sirius felt particularly lucky.
@blackinnonfest
i picture marlene being tall, with a small frame, but oh so mighty.
sirius was genuinely shocked the first time he saw her throw a bludger at yaxley's head and send him to the medical wing with a fractured skull.
okay so…
queen charlotte = tragic blackinnon backstory
bridgerton = marauders supporting harry’s first season where ginny is presented to society
and meanwhile in the back of my mind marlene mckinnon has been seen leaving the stables early in the morning wearing men’s clothing (how scandalous!)
back to regular business.
not gonna lie, i’ve been spending quite a lot of time this morning trying to emulate lady whistledown’s voice in my head to see if i manage to come up with something
but also i think it would be fun for a bridgerton au where marauders are adults and they’re guiding the new generations through the season. maybe it’s me just wanting for jily to meet ginny though (blackinnon could be turn into something more like queen charlotte, which i’m still not over it)
also, sirius is now known in my head as: most notorious rebel, so thanks anon!
