so this is my first post that isn't a repost (no, i do not count that thing i wrote and post here in 2023, that simply do not exist to me anymore), and this is a little ,,get to know me" thing!
Basic info:
My name is Maria, she/her, i'm 18(07), i'm a cancer♋, i'm ace and bi :]
Interests:
I love photography, i am a musical and marauders nerd, sometimes i sew. Music is my life and i like making new friends even though i'm awkward and shy sometimes.
What will you find here:
Mainly marauders stuff, i'll try posting my own headcannons bc i have so many of them, but i never knew where to post them and i think this is the right place :]
Ocasionaly i may post about musicals.
Maybe someday i will post photos i take, but idk if anyone would be intrested in things like that.
This is a safe space for lgbtq+ people. Hate will not be tolerated.
So that's it, feel free to leave anything in that little box where you can ask questions, and i'm open to making new moots/friends!
Hi, I just posted the 5th instalment of my Marauders fairy tale Au project <3
It's called Injured Pride and is a retelling of King Thrushbeard / könig Drosselbart. It's one of my favourite fairy tales and the OG enemies to lovers <33
Other parts in this series:
Seafoam hearts - The Little Mermaid
Silent Vows - The Six Swans
Brave Hearts - The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn Fear
hello! since my last list of fic recs is now over a year old (Aug 23), I figured it's about time for a new one, especially on the back of the recent discourse about shouting about work you love, which I'm always happy to do.
so without further ado, here are some fics I have "recently" read and loved and whose praises I'd like to sing, very loudly. please do note this only includes wolfstar or multi-ship Marauders fics.
authors, if you want to be untagged, have your fic removed or have the one line summary changed, just message me.
all recs with ao3 links below the break <3
WIPs

A Song for the End of the World, by @wannabelilybriscoe
~200k, Mature (check tags), AU. zombie apocalypse wolfstar!! amazing plot so far that really keeps you guessing, with great links to canon yet entirely fresh and inventive. wonderful friendship dynamics and writing, and I would die for this Sirius (but also lowkey steal his man).

Harry Potter and the Dog and the Wolf (series), by thewholeofthemoon
~605k overall, Mature. a retelling of canon (starting from POA) but with Peter captured and Wolfstar taking care of Harry, aka how we all wish canon had been. beautifully written and super original take on the story. it's long, but it's worth it for the wolfstar alone.
Hey, Sharpshooter, by @tortoisebore
200k, Explicit, Muggle. college, basketball player Remus meets figure skater Sirius. recently finished, and I couldn't not include it as this is in my top 5 most re-read and loved fics ever. it makes me want to pull out my teeth one by one (affectionately). they're engraved in my memory at this point.
on another ocean, by @colgatebluemintygel
(WIP) ~133k, Explicit, Muggle. recently dumped Sirius drags Remus on a holiday across through Europe. if you haven't read this, please, please do. it's literally my favourite thing in the entire world. like, no competition. I would sacrifice my firstborn for this fic, and like, raze the city of Troy for this fic (my Helen).
Chimaera & The Wolf (series), by lostmy_keys / @lostmykeysie
337k, Mature, First War. Regulus and Remus work together to find the horcruxes. this one is popular, and for good reason; I devoured this, one of my favourite things I've ever read in my life. so exciting and tense, and the wolfstar is everything to me.
and if after all of these you’re still looking for more, may I humbly inform you I’m also a wolfstar writer myself—you can find my fics on my ao3.
and that's all, folks. this is just a small selection, I have read dozens more so if you want more you know where to find me. love always, Ames <3
what i love derry girls, i will read it in the morning, and i will literally sacrifice my knees for you if you decide to continue this fic (my knees are not really good and they do have arthritis but sacrifice is a sacrifice, right?)
