If you’re interest in finding more, check out my account on ao3 to see my bookmarks, you’ll find lots of other writings + also on my account here in my reblogs!
If anyone has recommendations, feel free to share :) new content is always appreciated by me <3
Multichapter fanfics:
The Last of Us by PadnProng. Set entirely in the First Wizarding War. Incredible Sirius' characterisation. It isn't finished but I love it anyway!
An Unexpected Attraction by thegingerhairedlass. MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE MARAUDERS FANFIC. It goes from Seventh Year to the Potters' death. Devastating. I sobbed so much the first time reading it and to this day I still have problems going through the war chapters. Anyway, it's not Blackinnon-centric but there is a lot of Sirius/Marlene here + Marlene is a very relevant character + Marlene and Sirius are written beautifully, both as character and as a couple. I will never stop recommending it, it's incredible. I feel like it's not really known bc it's not on ao3, but I think it deserves the world (it also pains me that this is not a big Marauders ff like others bc there is no Wolfstar...such a shame!!)
Sirius Black and the eleven times he fell in love with Marlene McKinnon by VellaNikola. I LOVE this one. I don’t know how many times I’ve read it, it’s so so so good. I love their chemistry here + how their history is portrayed. It feels really close to my personal hc.

The McKinnon's New Year's Eve party is the stuff of legends, but Marlene is far more focused on one Sirius Black.
Mistletoe
The McKinnon's New Year's Eve party was the sort of event that witches and wizards looked forward to all year. Budding DJs sent auditions to Angus, knowing the gig could fill their schedules for the rest of the year. Catering businesses sent Elspeth invitations to try new menu items and free birthday dinners. Friends and family blocked out their schedules after Christmas to come help the McKinnon's clean and set up for the party. And anyone who received an invite the beginning of December moved mountains to ensure that they could attend.
Marlene enjoyed the controlled chaos her parents orchestrated for the party every year, but she loved the few day of preparation more. The quiet lead up before the storm of people and music and food. She especially loved that only their closest friends and family came to help clean and set up for the party.
This year that included the Potters, as always, but the Potters included one more than the normal three.
Marlene had invited Sirius Black to this party every year they'd been at Hogwarts, but this year, their sixth year, was the first that he could come. The Potters had invited him to help prepare for the party, and to Marlene's delight, he'd agreed.
Marlene shifted the boxes in her arms as she walked from the shed in the back garden to the house. The sun peaked out from behind the clouds as snow crunched beneath her feet. The boxes blocked her view of the house, but not the sound of laughter coming from within. She reached for the door, trying to keep the boxes balanced in her arms. Fate had other plans. Marlene swore as the boxes tipped off balance, sliding forward. She lunged forward, hoping to trap the boxes between her chest and the door, but she forgot she'd been in the process of opening the door.
It played out in slow motion. The door swung open. The boxes fell forward. And Marlene braced for her own impact with the floor.
That didn't come.
Instead of hardwood floor, she impacted with strong arms that steadied both her and the boxes in her arms.
"Don't move."
"Sirius?"
"Really, Marls, there are better ways to get my attention than throwing yourself at me under the mistletoe."
Marlene rolled her eyes, stopping for a moment to look at one of the several sprigs of mistletoe her parents kept around the house. "Trust me, I don't need mistletoe as an excuse to kiss a bloke."
His body shook with his laughter and Marlene privately admitted that she wouldn't mind one bit if he took the mistletoe above them as an invitation to kiss her.
"Noted. Hold on."
With a strength Marlene didn't realize he had, Sirius lifted her and the boxes from their precariously balanced position, set Marlene down in the entryway, took the boxes from her arms, and carefully placed them on the floor next to her.
"Thank you." Marlene tried to shake the desire to be back in his arms.
"Any time, Marls." He winked at her. "All good?"
"Yeah." She swallowed as his eyes traced her face. He took a step closer to her and Marlene couldn't stop from doing the same.
"Sirius, my boy? Did you find that broom?" Monty's voice called from the dining room.
"Here." Marlene spun to the hall closet and pulled out the broom. She turned to hand it to him and gasped when Sirius was right in front of her.
"Thanks." His fingers wrapped around hers instead of the broom, and he stepped closer.
"Of course." She barely heard her own voice.
"Sirius?" Monty called again.
Annoyance flickered across Sirius' face for the briefest moment, and Marlene agreed. She loved Monty like an uncle, but right now she wanted to see what would happen if Monty forgot he needed this broom.
Sirius slipped his hands from hers to the broom and stepped back. He gave her a smirk as her turned towards the dining room.
"Mistletoe isn't all bad." He winked at her.
"I never said it was bad." Marlene grinned. "Only that I don't need it as an excuse."
"Good to know." His gaze went heated for a long moment before he disappeared down the corridor, leaving Marlene short of breath for several moments after he was gone.
The rest of the days leading up to the party found Marlene watching Sirius, and most of the time without realizing it. To be fair, most of the time she looked up he was watching her as well. When she met his gaze he'd smirk and wink at her before going back to whatever task he was engaged in. But Marlene rather preferred when she would look at him and he wasn't already watching her. There was a presence to Sirius when he wasn't aware he was being observed. It lacked the cockiness he put forward, and instead he exuded a quiet confidence in every task he took on. There was so much more to Sirius, and every time she watched without his knowing, she learned a bit more about the man he hid behind his mask.
New Year's Eve finally came and Marlene was a bit sad it had. She'd enjoyed Sirius being around her home, and after tonight he wouldn't be around at all until the next year. Sure she'd see him at school, but it wouldn't be the same.
Marlene watched Sirius laugh at something Remus had said, his head back, his smile lighting up his face, it was exactly what she'd come to know as him in these last few days with him. And it embodied how over those days, she'd shifted from seeing him as one of her most fit friends, to seeing him as something more.
"Marlene?" Her mother tapped her shoulder. "Will you please grab another platter and bring it out here?"
"Sure." Marlene smiled as her mum hugged her.
"Thank you."
She took one last look at Sirius and turned down the corridor to the kitchen.
"Running away from the party?" A voice she had come to recognize asked as she pulled the platter from the cupboard.
Sirius leant against the door frame as he smiled at her.
"Running errands for the party would be the more accurate descriptor." She smiled at him, setting the platter on the counter.
Sirius moved slowly to her side, his eyes not leaving hers. "That's a relief. I was worried the famed Marlene McKinnon hated her own party."
Marlene laughed and reached behind her to hold the counter, her heart beating so fast she worried she might pass out.
Sirius didn't stop his advance until his hands were covering hers. His body was so close, filling her senses with his scent, the sound of his breathing, the intensity of his stare.
"You said you didn't need mistletoe." He brought his forehead to rest against hers. "Is there something you do need?"
"To kiss a bloke?" She chuckled. "I prefer to want to."
His nose brushed hers and her eyes closed of their own accord. "Do you want to?"
"Yes."
She expected him to rush her. To kiss her like every other sloppy teenager. But she quickly realized why Sirius' reputation preceded him.
Sirius' lips were soft, as they slanted over hers, caressing, savoring, stealing not only her ability but her desire to breathe air. Marlene wanted to breath this kiss for the rest of her life. His hands shifted from covering hers on the counter, sliding the length of her arms, one tangling in her curls and the other wrapping around her waist and pulling her into him. Marlene's grip shifted from the counter behind her to Sirius' hair, her nails dragging against his scalp. Sirius growled and shifted the kiss, pressing her against the counter as he increased their pace, his hands holding her tighter to him.
That was where her brain decided to catch up with her.
"Sirius." She broke their kiss, but her voice came out in a breathy moan that Sirius took as an invitation to move his lips to her neck.
Merlin and Morgana why did he choose to do this when her mother was waiting for her?
"Sirius." She tried again. "Let me get this platter to my mum and then we can find a better place to snog."
He grinned against her neck before nipping at the skin beneath her ear. "Afraid to get caught?"
"No, but if we get caught there's no way we'll be able to sneak away."
"Touché." He brought his lips back to hers in a slow slide. "Lead on."
Marlene didn't remember untangling herself from Sirius, or where her mother was when they dropped the platter with her. But she definitely remembered pulling Sirius into the green house at the back of the garden.
"I thought you didn't care for mistletoe." Sirius teased as he pulled her down to the bench in the back.
Marlene glanced up at the sprig hanging above the bench and laughed. She didn't know her parents put it up out here too.
"I never said I didn't like it, only that I don't need it's excuse."
Sirius cupped her face and smiled the brightest smile she'd ever seen on him. "I happen to be rather fond of the tradition."
Marlene snaked her hands around his neck and pulled him close. "Then per tradition, I think you have to kiss me."
You replied to the pools and you wanted an even for November so here it is!
We are going to make it short and sweet, something for our boy Sirius, and his birthday. The event is from November 1st until November 5th, it's a little short just not to overwhelm anyone, and the theme is Rom-Coms.
We have a list of a few of the media that you have said remind you of this lovely ship, this is not a set list, you can use any other media that you think screams Blackinnon.
If you are participating please remember to use the tag #blackinnonkfest2023 and/or tag us and we will reblog your works!
Sirius isn't letting anything get between him and fixing things between him and Marlene. He's just grateful she isn't willing to rip her new jeans to get away from him. A Blackinnon Muggle AU for your reading pleasure. For my dear friend HazzaP, may today be a reminder of how much you are loved.
Resurge
Sirius strode into the coffee shop, trying to maintain an air of calm he didn't feel.
"No."
Lily stood behind the counter, staring daggers at him. It was especially unsettling as he was the only patron in the shop this close to closing.
"Evening, Red." Sirius nearly flinched under her stare, but as scary as Lily looked, she had nothing on Walburga.
"No."
"Look, I know you're trying to protect your friend-"
"I'm trying to protect my coffee shop." Lily scoffed. "Marlene is known for throwing things when she's this upset."
Lily had a point, but Sirius wasn't going to back down.
"Then we'll go out to your back patio." Sirius walked around the counter and flashed Lily a smile. "Thanks for understanding, Red."
"Sirius!" Lily yelled, but didn't bother to move from her spot at the cash register. "I forbid you from going back there."
So much for approaching Marlene unannounced.
He turned, glaring. Lily waved a delicate hand at him and grinned.
"Well played."
"Don't make her break anything." She blew him a kiss. "Now go."
Sirius did just that.
He finally found Marlene attempting to scale the fencing that wrapped around the patio seating Lily had set up in this garden space.
"Really, Marls?"
"If my jeans weren't stuck it would have worked." She swore as she tried to free her leg.
"Don't rip them." Sirius reached her in three long strides and gently untangled her jeans from the fence. "Can we talk?"
"What's there to talk about?" Marlene snapped but climbed down from the fence so Sirius took it as a good sign.
"Oh, I don't know." Sirius didn't keep the sarcasm out of his voice. "We could talk about what the Iron Lady is up to, or perhaps Her Majesty's most recent tour, or how about this morning when you knocked me senseless by telling me you loved me and then ran before I could get enough of my brain to function to say it back?"
"You didn't say it back!"
Sirius heard the crack in her voice and tried to pull her into his arms but she backed up against the fence.
"I didn't." He dropped his head. "And I'm sorry. I haven't had anyone say that to me since Mia passed. It…well to be perfectly frank with you, I was completely baffled to feel like you'd managed to fill a hole in my soul and to simultaneously miss Mia so brutally all over again that it scrambled my brain."
Marlene stared at him. Sirius watched the fight drain out of her wide eyes as the reality of his words settled.
"Surely someone…" Marlene trailed off, her jaw slacked and he saw the pain shift to a new anger in her ice blue eyes. "You mean to tell me James didn't have the decency to once tell you he loved you in the last six months! You're his bloody brother! I'm going to ki-"
Sirius didn't let her finish. He took her face in his hands, bringing his lips to her in a gentle kiss, cutting through her anger, healing the hurt he'd caused, and proving the three words he spoke next.
"I love you."
She pulled him back to her lips, devouring him, running her nails against his scalp, pulling him closer. He pressed her against the fence, letting his hands roam, giving into the passion that Marlene always stirred in him.
"Go home!" Lily yelled from the door. "I absolutely refuse to let you shag in my cafe."
"Technically, we're not in your cafe, Red. We're behind it."
Marlene snorted, but Lily pointed towards the cafe's front door.
"Go celebrate at home. I'll close up without Marlene."
"Thanks, love." Marlene blew her a kiss and grabbed Sirius' hand. "I'll come in early the day after tomorrow."
"Because you'll be late tomorrow." Lily laughed. "Get out of here."
Sirius didn't wait for Lily to change her mind. He pulled Marlene out the door, dropping a quick kiss to Lily's cheek as they passed.
"Thanks, Red."
"Oh." Marlene stopped. "Tell James I'd like a word with him at some point."
Lily frowned but nodded. Sirius suspected she saw the same danger in Marlene's smile that he had.
Not willing to let anything more escalate, he pulled Marlene to the curb and his waiting motorcycle.
"Hey." She grabbed his shoulder before he could climb on. "I love you."
Sirius cradled her face again and kissed her in the fading sunlight.
Blackinnon Fest 2023 is here! This year it's 30 prompts for the 30 days of April! I'll do my best to get them all up before May. :P Check out the @blackinnonfest blog for a list of all the prompts and other stories too!
Day 1 - "If one day I decided to leave, would you run away with me?”
Bide
Sirius kicked at the rocks beneath his feet, not caring if anyone heard or saw him walking the Black Lake's shore at half past midnight.
It was all so stupid. People were dying out there, and somehow he and his mates were supposed to care about classes? He shook his head, and kicked at the rocks again.
Someone swore in the darkness.
"Watch it!"
Sirius grinned. He knew that voice.
"Wotcher, McKinnon."
"Black? Why are you kicking rocks at me?" Marlene came out of the shadows, her golden hair and blue eyes looking silver in the moonlight.
"Have to get your attention somehow."
Her blood red lips curved up in a small smile and Sirius smirked as some of the weight lifted from his chest.
"There are better ways to get a girl's attention."
Sirius shrugged. "Usually are but I'm a direct sort of bloke."
"Well your direct approach got my attention, what are you going to do with it?"
"Fancy a walk?"
She bit her bottom lip while he waited for her answer and Sirius wondered if she was deliberately toying with him.
"A walk under the stars? If I didn't know better I'd say you were trying to be romantic." Marlene tilted her head in the direction she'd come from and turned.
Two long strides and Sirius caught up to her.
"Then I wouldn't know you very well, would I?"
"If you know me so well, what would you do?"
The weight that had driven him from the dorms lifted a bit more and Sirius lazily dropped his arm around her shoulders. He wasn't sure when it happened, but Marlene was quickly becoming a safe place to hide from the harder parts of his life. And Sirius wanted to know if maybe he was hers too.
"Give you a place to hide where no one and nothing can find you except me until you're ready to face the world again."
She stopped walking and looked up at him, her eyes wide. He thought he'd screwed up, misjudged what he thought was between them. Then her hands tangled in his leather jacket.
"Would you stay with me in that place?" Her voice was barely louder than the gentle wind around them.
Sirius tightened his hold on her shoulders, pulling her closer. Marlene's eyes were locked on his, and all the humor he'd felt a moment ago had evaporated in the night air. He brought his free hand to brush a curl from her face.
"If one day I decided to leave, would you run away with me? Leave this insanity behind and not look back?"
She stepped closer, bringing her breath to mingle with his.
"You didn't answer my question."
Sirius pulled her against him, caught up in the heady feeling that always accompanied having Marlene this close. He rested his forehead against hers, his lips tilting up at the left when her eyes fluttered close.
"Do you want to hide with me?"
Her tongue darted out, wetting her lips and ensnaring him all the more.
"Would you think I'm weak?"
"I'm not the easiest bloke to get along with, if anything I'd think you crazy."
Marlene tilted her head up, her nose sliding against him as her lips came ever closer to his. Sirius refused to admit how difficult she made it to breathe.
"I'd run away with you." Her lips brushed his as she spoke.
He grinned against her, feeling her smile grow with his. "I'd stay with you."
The sigh that escaped her was cut off as Sirius gave in and brought his lips to Marlene's.
He'd stay with her, wherever she wanted to be, he knew he would stay.
Sometimes, all Harry and Ginny need to do is linger in the moment together. A post-Hogwarts Harry/Ginny fluff story. For the fabulous deadwoodpecker, I hope your day is as wonderful as you!
Linger
Ginny basked in the sun, settling further into her pool chair as the cruise ship floated atop the waves. Her wet hair clung to her skin but she refused to move the twelve inches for her wand hidden in her bag. It was Harry's turn to entertain their children and her turn to sit poolside and enjoy the warmth for the week they'd have it.
The Potter's had vacationed enough with their children at this point to have a system, trading off so that they each managed to have a bit of a vacation from the vacation. Those years leading up to their system taught Ginny to not waste one second of that precious time.
So her wet hair clung to her back, likely tangled in her bikini tie, and Ginny chose not to care.
She drifted off for a much needed kip.
At some point, strong arms wrapped around her and she curled into Harry's embrace as he shifted them to share the chair.
"The children decided to go with your parents to see some of the game rooms."
"Good." Ginny yawned. "They can keep Dad out of trouble."
"Who's going to keep us out of trouble?" Harry nuzzled the side of her head.
Ginny tilted her head so that she could look up at him. "We have a suite, love."
"Not that I'm not willing." He brought his lips close enough to speak against her. "But I'm rather happy right here."
He pressed a soft kiss against her lips and Ginny melted into him, into the laziness of his pace, into the smell of sunscreen and chlorine and overpriced fizzy drinks.
"Me too."
"Good."
Harry shifted, bringing his hand to cup her cheek, his green eyes holding hers for a long moment before he leant in again. His lips caressed her, slow, savoring, as if he never wanted it to end. Ginny brought her hands to rest against his bare chest, sliding against his skin until her right hand found the beat of his heart, slow as his kiss. Harry's hand drifted from her cheek, meandering against her skin, tracing her, till coming to rest on her hip.
Their kisses slowed, the sun grew warmer, and before Ginny knew it, they both fell asleep.
Their children managed to find them and get them moving so dinner would not be missed. Showered and changed, children fed and currently raiding the dessert buffet with her parents, Ginny leant into Harry's arm around her shoulders.
"This was a good idea." She smiled up at him.
"I think the good idea was bringing both our children and your parents. I'd be far too tense to bring your parents on a Muggle cruise with only the two of us. And letting the kids run loose on their own isn't a good idea just yet. But having the five of them stick together lets me relax."
Ginny nodded, letting her eyes linger on the way his hair was getting a little long, the crinkle of skin around his eye as he smiled down at her, his green eyes shining behind his black rimmed glasses.
She leant into him, her kiss brushing his lips, her eyes fluttering close. Harry pressed forward, deepening the kiss, but not increasing the slow pace that had followed them from the poolside.
"I like you relaxed." She said, speaking each word between the brush of lips and teasing slides of tongue.
"I like you relaxed." His arm around her shoulder pulled closer.
"Ew! Mum! Dad! Gross!"
Ginny sighed and looked over to see their kids returning from the dessert buffet.
"Jamie, it's only kissing." She gave him the glare she'd learned from her mother.
"Doesn't mean you have to do it where I can see it." Jamie huffed and sat down in his seat.
"Where you can see what?" Arthur sat down next to him.
"Mum and Dad being gross." Jamie said around a mouthful of dessert.
"I was kissing my husband." Ginny rolled her eyes at her dad.
Arthur chuckled and winked at her.
"Well, I think I can help with that." He stood and pulled out Molly's chair for her as she helped Al and Lily with their plates. Once the two youngest were settled, Arthur pulled Molly into him and kissed her soundly.
"No!" Jamie cried and covered his eyes. "Not you too, Grandpa!"
"Is he going on about kissing again?" Molly laughed when Arthur released her.
"Seems to think we're scarring him." Ginny nodded.
Molly ruffled Jamie's hair. "One day when you're all grown, you won't mind kissing."
"I wish Teddy had come." Jamie looked back down at his plate, face nearly as red as Ginny's hair.
Ginny laughed, Teddy had already promised Vic he'd spend the Easter hols with her when the Potter's invited him on this cruise, and if things went the way Ginny thought, it would only take a year or so more before Teddy would be kissing a specific blonde haired, blue eyed niece of hers.
"We'll hold off for the sake of your sanity." Harry chuckled and squeezed Ginny's shoulder.
She turned to give him a bit of a pout. She had no intentions of stopping.
Harry kissed her nose.
"You reminded me earlier that we have a suite."
Ginny laughed and rested her forehead against his.
"Yes, I suppose we do."
They entertained their family for a few hours more before leading the children to bed and sending Arthur and Molly to watch the musical playing that evening.
Finally shut in their room, Ginny crossed the massive expanse of their bed to curl around her husband.
"Well, hello." He smiled down at her.
"You owe me kisses, Mr. Potter." She pouted.
Harry laughed. "Really? And how many kisses do I owe you, Mrs. Potter?"
"Well, you fell asleep by the pool."
"After you had already fallen asleep."
"And then you put off kissing me to appease our son."
"Which made the rest of the evening significantly more enjoyable for everyone."
"And the whole time we've been all alone in our room-"
"All five minutes."
"You've yet to resume kissing me."
Harry moved so fast, Ginny didn't see it coming. One minute, she was on her side wrapped around Harry, the next she was on her back with Harry looming above her.
"I don't care for debts." He smirked and slowly brought his lips within a breath of hers. "I think I'll pay you in full, plus a good amount extra."
"Then I'd be in debt to you." Ginny slipped her hands beneath his shirt and slid them along his chest.
"I'll be happy to have you pay me back when I'm done."
He brought his lips to hers in a kiss that stole every ounce of air from Ginny's lungs, and cut off any snarky remark she might have thought of before he claimed her with his kiss.

She watched him from her perch on the counter. His hazel eyes studied the jar's ingredients from behind his black rimmed glasses. He blew his fringe off the top of the frames and she smiled as it landed right back where it had been.
"I guess this is technically the same as the brand I thought you'd buy."
"You guess?"
James sighed. "Fine, the ingredients are identical, but…"
"But?" Lily pressed when James fell silent.
"It's nothing." He turned back to the stove.
Lily hopped off the counter and turned off the burner.
"What's wrong? I didn't think using a different brand of raspberry jam would be a big deal."
James shook his head and moved to the kitchen sink.
"I'm being ridiculous, Lils. Honestly, just ignore me."
Lily's blood boiled.
"I will do no such thing, you over dramatic lump! Now look at me and tell me what in the world is going on."
James stared down at the drain. His shoulders tensed and his hands gripped the counter on either side of the sink.
"James?" Lily moved to his side, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Evans-"
"It's Potter." She cut him off. "Has been for a few months now."
James chuckled. "I still have a hard time believing that sometimes."
"Don't change the subject. Why are you so upset about me buying a different brand of jam?"
"It doesn't matter, love."
"It matters to me; now tell me what's going on."
"It's not the raspberry jam Dad always bought." James' head dropped.
Lily's heart broke.
"Oh, James."
"I know, I know, it doesn't matter-"
"Come on." Lily pulled James away from the counter. "The market isn't closed, and we still have a few hours before Sirius and Marlene will be here."
"No, no I need to let it go."
"James, I will drag you out of this house by your shirt collar if you don't come willingly."
"But dinner-"
"Will still be here for us to make when we get back. Right now you need to show me what brand of jam your dad preferred."
James looked back at the ingredients he'd already pulled out. He started to shake his head 'no' but Lily cut him off again.
"No arguments, love."
She pulled his face between her hands and brought her lips to his. The ache in his heart pushed through in the details of his kiss. It was always the details with James. He took notice of every detail he could. He connected with people using details. He argued with people over details. He loved people in detail.
And when it came to missing his dead parents, James missed them in the details.
Like the right brand of raspberry jam.
"Dad bought Wilkin & Sons when he bought raspberry jam." James pulled back. "I'm sorry, I should have said before you went to the market."
Lily pressed up for another kiss, trying to pull some sadness from him.
"Come with me to buy it. It'll help."
James slid his hand along her waist. "You think so?"
"I know so." Lily stepped into him. "And if we hurry, we might even have time for other things before Sirius and Marlene get here."
A flicker of light hit James' eyes and Lily smirked up at him.
"It wouldn't hurt to try, I suppose." His smile still held a sadness to it, but he was smiling, a detail Lily didn't miss.
She didn't let him think twice. Lily had them out the door in under a minute and back at the market. The right brand in hand, James' smile lacked the sadness it had in their flat. Nostalgia painted his face as he rubbed his fingers over the label. His eyes told stories of this raspberry jam over hot scones and when it was made into a sauce for decadent puddings.
"Thank you." He murmured as they waited to pay.
Lily squeezed his arm. "Of course."
James looked around at the few people near them and leant close to her ear.
"Do you think there's still time for-" He kissed the shell of her ear. "Those other things you mentioned?"
"Keep that sort of thing up and we'll make time." Lily breathed and tried not to melt into a puddle on the floor in the market.
"I'll do just that then." He whispered as his fingers teased along the hem of her shirt.
Lily was shocked they made it back home before they made time for those other things.
It was all in the details with James. The light calluses on his fingers brushing against her skin, teasing, caressing, holding, gripping. The touch of his lips, tasting, savoring, feasting on the delicacy he found her to be. The rumble of his voice in his chest, her name it's continual reprise.
"We need to get dinner started." James nuzzled her neck.
"Do we have to?" Lily tangled her fingers deeper into his hair.
"Unless you want to listen to Sirius whine about how hungry he is when he gets here, yes."
"Alright." Lily groaned and pulled her hands from his hair.
"Hey." James kissed her again, a gentle and slow slide that pulled every ounce of breath out of her. "Thank you for helping me."
Lily pulled him back down to her, taking his breath to fill her lungs.
"You're welcome." She whispered.
It was always in the details with James, and Lily found herself grateful to be in the details with him.
Snooping for presents is a common pass time around Christmas, especially in the Potter household. A fluffy family Christmas story featuring Harry, Ginny, and all the kids. Hinny Fluff. One-shot.
A little fluffy Christmas drabble.
For the amazing @thisismegz ! Congratulations, darling! You're beautiful and I hope everyone treats you with the same kindness you've always given to me. Love you!

“Hurry, Lily! Mum and Dad are gonna be home any second!”
“When snooping for Christmas presents when your parents aren’t home, shouldn’t you be more worried about me?” Teddy poked his head into Harry and Ginny’s bedroom. “Besides, Ginny wouldn’t lay them out in plain sight when she knows you’re her son.”
Lily’s little head peeped out from under the bed and she blew her fringe from her eyes.
“They aren’t here Jamie.”
Jamie’s shoulders slumped forward.
“What about you, Al?”
Al’s head popped out of the clothes in the closet. “Nothing.”
“Maybe they didn’t get us anything.” Jamie sighed.
“Don’t be silly.” Teddy laughed. “They’re your parents. They got you something. And even if they didn’t, you haven’t been so bad that Father Christmas would forget you entirely.”
“But last year we found them, and the year before that too.”
“Then they probably hid them really well this year. Come on, let’s go back downstairs.”
Teddy chuckled as all the kids filed out of the Potter’s bedroom. He remembered when he used to act that way, snooping around for presents at Christmas time. He was more mature than that now. Now he’s trusted to help set out presents at the appointed time; and he knows that his family loves him enough to find presents he’ll like.
Jamie’s head was nearly down by his shoes as he slumped down the stairs and his older brother took pity on the poor lad.
“How about I get out the biscuits and what’s left of the wassail from yesterday and we can play a game till your parents get home?”
“Alright,” Jamie said with a little shrug of his slumped shoulders.
The game and sugar worked wonders and by the time Harry and Ginny were home, Jamie had forgotten all about snooping for presents.
“Thank you for watching them for us.” Ginny hugged him. “I’m sure there were better things to be doing than watching your god-siblings.”
“I don’t mind.” Teddy placed their mugs in the sink. “Oh, and you should know Jamie had them snooping in your room for presents.”
Harry chuckled. “He won’t find them there.”
“I didn’t think he would.” Teddy nodded. “But I thought I’d give you a heads up.”
“Have you done all your shopping?” Ginny put her hand on his shoulder. “I could take you tomorrow.”
“I got everything with Gran when the train came in. She said we were already in London and might as well take advantage of it.”
“Smart woman, your Gran.” Harry smiled. “Now why don’t you run on up to bed and we’ll get you back home in the morning.”
Teddy wished them both goodnight and headed for the stairs.
“You know.” Ginny’s voice was quiet. “I’m going to take a lot of joy one day in telling Jamie that all the presents were right in front of him the whole time.”
Teddy paused, curious if she’d reveal the hiding place.
After all, he should know so as to steer Jamie in the wrong direction.
“That spot only works for as long as I don’t need my cloak for work.” Harry’s voice was almost too quiet to be heard.
“I’ll be sure to ask Father Christmas to keep all the baddies away until Christmas.”
“You’ll need to ask him to keep the kids off the ceilings as well, then.”
Teddy’s jaw dropped, and he looked above him.
His godparents had hid the presents on the ceiling and then covered them with Harry’s invisibility cloak? Jamie would never even think to check the ceiling! Teddy wasn’t even supposed to know Harry had the cloak, but he’d eves dropped from this same spot before and heard about it then.
Satisfied that Jamie wouldn’t be able to ruin his Christmas surprises, Teddy walked up the stairs to his room.
“He’s in his room.” Harry wrapped his arms around Ginny’s waist and kissed her neck.
“Do you think he believed us?”
“Of course he did, or he wouldn’t have gone upstairs.” Harry kissed her again, ready to move their conversation on to other things.
“Hold that thought.”
Ginny slipped from his arms and laughed at the pout Harry gave her for that. She picked up her wand and brought the box of old mugs down from atop the refrigerator. Then pulled the last of the Christmas gifts from the bags and shrunk them down to fit inside the mugs. She placed the box back on top of the refrigerator.
“There.” She slid up against him. “Now, where were we?”
Harry pulled her close and spoke low against her ear. “Somewhere along these lines.”
Ginny’s response was a quiet moan as she melted into him.
“Take me to bed, Mr. Potter.”
“With pleasure, Mrs. Potter.”
Harry swept her into his arms and up the stairs to their room. No one was going to be finding their presents early, not even Ginny.
It's October and that means Jilytober!!! @magic-girl-in-a-muggle-world put out this list of amazing prompts and I've worked a whole bunch of them into this little fluffy piece. I hope you enjoy!
Marlene is done. If Lily and James won't figure themselves out, then she's just going to push them too it. And she's going to pull Sirius along for the ride.
Meraki
"I have no idea what's bothering you." Sirius ghosted his lips down Marlene's neck. "So can you at least give me a hint?"
She looked around the Common Room. "Let's get out of here."
Sirius didn't need to be told twice. He followed her up the boys' stairs to his dorm where Marlene promptly sat on the floor and leant against the foot of his bed.
"Are you trying to turn me on right now?"
She turned to glare at him, making him smirk back at her.
"Because it's working."
Finally she cracked a smile at him, and Sirius let out a breath of relief.
"Really, Marls, what's going on?"
"If I have to watch James and Lily dance around each other for one more minute I might kill them both."
"You'll get used to it. You just haven't had the training ground the lads and I have for the last few years. After a while you won't even notice them doing it anymore."
"Merlin, I hate them." She blew her fringe from her eyes. "Driving me mad for no good reason."
"You're possibly the worst liar on Earth, you know that right?" Sirius relented and sat down on the floor next to her. "You love Lily too much to hate her, and James is almost as much your brother as he is mine."
"Don't ruin this with facts. They won't snog and have it done with only to make me hate them. It's all a plan to send me to an early grave."
"Marly, Marly, Marly." Sirius bright his lips back to her neck. "Let them be idiots while you enjoy that you're ten times as bright because you don't deny yourself the simple pleasures of life."
She arched into him and Sirius grinned.
"See, no need to let them upset you."
"I'm going to make them get together." Marlene pulled the tie from his hair and drug her nails against his scalp. It felt so good her words almost didn't register.
Almost.
"Marlene." Sirius pulled back.
"No, Sirius, we're doing this now." She brought her lips to his, and as much as Sirius wanted to ignore the obvious problem for the gorgeous woman in front of him, Sirius only kissed her for a minute longer before pulling back.
"We can't make them be together."
"Of course I can. They just have to believe it was their idea and not mine."
"Awfully confident aren't you?"
She moved to straddle him. "I mean, history says I kind of have the right to be."
Sirius took a long moment to enjoy the view, really considering if it was worth pushing back.
"Marlene."
She placed a black nailed finger against his lips before bringing her mouth to his.
"Trust me."
"I'm going to regret this, aren't I?" He gripped her hips.
"No, one day soon, you're going to thank me."
"I'm always polite, Marls."
He felt her chuckle more than he heard it. "And I appreciate it, but one day soon, you'll thank me for removing a problem from all of our lives."
"And how soon before I can thank you for other things?" He drug his lips along her chin.
She let him kiss her skin for several moments before turning to capture his lips with hers. "That depends entirely on you."
James swung his broom over his shoulder and walked back from the Quidditch pitch as the sun was just cresting the trees. He enjoyed these early morning flying sessions. At first he resented that being Head Boy made early morning the only time he could get a good session in, but after the first few weeks he had come to enjoy these quiet hours of solitude.
But his solitude was suddenly interrupted as he looked towards the Black Lake.
"Lily?"
She didn't hear him as she sat a hundred yards or so from the shore, watching the sun climb the horizon.
He almost left her to her thoughts. He almost walked right back into the castle.
Almost.
"Wouldn't have thought you're the type to sit alone and watch the sunrise." James sat down on Lily's blanket with her.
"I wasn't supposed to be alone."
James nearly had a panic attack. Was Lily meant to be on a date right now?
"Marlene made a whole todo about wanting to see the sunrise with me this morning. When I woke up, she wasn't in her bed and I figured she was already out here."
James let out an explosive breath. "Marlene is in Sirius' bed."
"I should have known." Lily shook her head. "She went to sleep in her bed last night."
James chuckled. "She came into our dorm around one or so in the morning."
"Well, at least I got to see the sunrise."
"A much better view than Sirius in the morning."
Lily laughed, a clear and joyous sound that made James' chest ache.
"I'm glad you happened to be out flying. I don't feel as put out now that I'm not on my own."
"You know, I fly every morning." James pushed his hand into his hair. "Anytime you want someone to watch the sunrise with, I'm your man."
Lily smiled up at him. "Maybe I'll make an effort to watch a few more sunrises then."
James glared at Sirius as he sat down on James' textbook in the library.
"What, Sirius?"
"McGonagall's looking for you?"
James frowned. He'd met with Lily and Minnie not two hours ago. What could she possibly want from him now."
"She said she'd be in the Head's Office."
Aggravated at the interruption, James gave Sirius a shove to free the textbook.
"Honestly, Potter, a simple please does wonders."
"So does not sitting on other people's property." James shoved the book into his bag. Potions were boring, hopefully Minnie needed some transfiguration help. "Thanks for letting me know she was looking for me."
"Enjoy!" Sirius called after him, getting a harsh shush from Madam Pince.
James made his way to the Head's Office but when he opened the door he froze. Lily was sitting at her desk, face down in a textbook, passed out cold.
"Lily?"
She didn't respond and James briefly considered waiting for Minnie outside the office. She must be exhausted to fall asleep in such an uncomfortable position, especially when a couch sat not five feet away from her.
Her neck and shoulders were going to kill her when she woke up. He wouldn't be surprised if her legs were already asleep.
James looked at the couch and then looked back at Lily.
But if he moved her to the couch…
It was a bad idea. He had worked hard this first month of school to be sure that he never made her feel like he was looking at her with anything other than respect and friendship. He had pushed away every desire for something more, locking how much he wished she wanted him the way he wanted her behind iron walls.
But he couldn't leave her asleep like that.
James set his bag on the floor and against his better judgment, moved to where Lily slept. She fit perfectly in his arms as he shifted her gently out of her chair, her head coming to rest against his shoulder.
"What?"
"Shh. We're just getting you to the couch."
"James?"
"It's me." Reluctant to set her down, James waited for her answer.
But she didn't respond, having fallen back asleep against his shoulder.
He should have put her down and walked out of the room.
He should have waited for Minnie outside.
He shouldn't have turned and sat down on the couch with her pressed against him as he cradled her in his arms.
He shouldn’t have brushed his lips across her hairline.
And when Lily woke up, he shouldn’t have told her it wasn’t a big deal that he’d let her sleep on him for the better part of an hour.
Lily looked over at Marlene from the portrait hole. “For what?”
“For you. I need your help.” Marlene pushed off from the armchair she was lounging in. She picked up a jumper from the floor and tossed it to her. “Get this back to James for me, would you?”
Lily felt her blood run cold. Marlene only had a bloke’s jumper for one reason.
“For Merlin’s sake! Your face!” Marlene laughed. “I grabbed it by accident last night thinking it was Sirius’!”
Lily gasped as she felt like she could breathe again.
“Don’t worry, Sirius keeps me plenty entertained. I don’t need to go bed hopping in that dorm.”
“Wait, why don’t you just give it back to Sirius?” She ran her hand along the soft knitting of James’ jumper.
Maybe she could just keep it?
“Because Sirius doesn’t know I grabbed the wrong jumper and I would much rather not give him the satisfaction of knowing that I did.” Marlene blew her a kiss and then slipped out of the Common Room before Lily could argue with her.
Lily stared at the closed portrait door, her fingers still sliding along the jumper.
What had just happened?
After getting knocked by a student entering the Common Room, Lily decided to go hide in the Head’s Office.
Not hiding; she was waiting for James. Not that he usually returned to the Head’s Office after they’d finished planning rounds. But that didn’t mean she couldn’t wait for him there. He’d end up in the Head’s Office. Eventually.
This was all Marlene’s fault. The day Lily had passed out at her desk, Marlene had kept her up till half four with questions about the Muggle world. It was Marlene’s fault she’d fallen asleep. It was Marlene’s fault Lily had woken up not only in James’ arms but on his lap. If it hadn’t been for that, everything would have been fine. But now, she could barely look him in the eye, let alone hand him back his jumper.
It was so soft.
Maybe she’d try it on. James wouldn’t have reason to come back to the Head’s Office. He’d never know…
Before she could realize how bad an idea that was, Lily pulled James’ jumper over her head.
It was unbelievably soft. How did James focus on anything with jumpers this soft?
“Is that my jumper?”
Lily screamed and spun from where she sat on the couch to face the door.
“James.”
His eyes were locked on his jumper and Lily struggled to find a plausible reason that not only did she have his jumper but that she was currently wearing it.
“I-” Words failed her.
She shouldn’t have put the jumper on. If she’d left it off she could have just smiled at James, mentioned Marlene’s predicament, and they could have laughed it off. Now she’d made a fool of herself by putting it on.
“It, it looks good on you.” His voice was graveled and Lily thought his eyes looked wider.
“At least it’s not orange.”
Lily blinked as she realized those words had come out of her mouth.
James smirked. “I don’t know, I think you’d look great in orange.”
The laughter bubbled out of her and James quickly followed.
“Here.” She started to pull the jumper off, but James shook his head.
“Don’t. You should probably just keep it.” He picked up a folded up piece of parchment from his desk. “I’ll see you later.”
Lily watched the door close behind him, not able to keep the smile off her face.
Lily laughed as she walked through Hogsmeade with James. Their friends had been with them, but at some point there was confusion about where they were going and James and Lily had ended up on their own.
"This is nice." She smiled up at him. "I love our friends, but sometimes they're a bit wild, except Remus."
"Remus is going to be so smug when I tell him you singled him out as the sane one."
Lily shivered as she laughed.
"Here." James wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to him. "I'll help keep you warm."
"I should have worn your jumper."
"Yes, you definitely should have." James teased her. "Why didn't you?"
Lily was distracted by a group of third years running down the street, playing tag by the looks of it.
"Lils?"
"I wear it to sleep in." She moved towards the third-years, set on reminding them to behave themselves, when her words registered in her own ears.
Lily froze.
"I can't believe I just told you that."
James didn't answer, and Lily couldn't bring herself to look at him. They stood there in silence, his arm still partially wrapped around her shoulders, her body turned to where the third-years had been but were no longer.
And then that strong arm was guiding her back around to look at him.
"Do you really?"
"I-" Lily bit her lip and tried to turn away but James held fast.
"Lily."
"James."
"Do you really wear my jumper to sleep in?"
She shouldn't have said anything. She shouldn't have told him. She shouldn't have spent the last two weeks with his jumper under her pillow, pulling it on after she'd drawn the curtains every night.
"Er, yes." She closed her eyes waiting for the teasing she was sure to endure along with James' laughter.
Instead of teasing and laughter, two gentle hands cupped her face and guided her eyes up to his.
"That kind of information gives a bloke ideas about how you might feel for him."
"It doesn't give a woman any ideas about how he feels about her though." Lily brought her hands up to tangle in his cloak.
"Knowing you sleep in my jumper makes playing the long game immensely harder."
"You're playing the long game?"
There was the slightest hesitation in his response.
"For you, Evans, I'm playing for keeps." He brought his forehead to rest against hers. "Is that enough of an idea for you?"
Lily could barely pull a full breath as she stared into James' eyes, and her answer came out in a whisper.
"I think so."
James tilted their heads until he was close enough to speak against her lips. "And do you think you'd be alright with this?"
"I don't think I'd be alright without it."
She felt James smirk against her.
"Good, because I can't wait any longer." And then he brought his lips to hers.
"Now you may thank me." Marlene pushed Sirius back against the wall in the Three Broomsticks while they waited for a place at the bar.
Marlene sighed into him as Sirius moved his hands beneath her leather jacket.
“Am I thanking you for snogging me in public now?”
“If you want to, I won’t argue.” Marlene ran her nails along his scalp. “But I’m talking specifically about that problem I told you I was removing from our lives.”
“All they needed was to be left alone in Hogsmeade, eh?”
“And everything we’ve done leading up to this.”
SIrius kissed her neck before biting down on her pulse point and Marlene gripped his hair as she pulled closer to him.
“Not that I don’t believe you, but how do you know they’ve sorted themselves out?”
Marlene chuckled and pulled back just enough to gesture out the window. “James’ tongue down Lily’s throat enough evidence for you?”
Sirius’ smile went soft as he watched their friends snog in the street. It caught Marlene off guard and her heart melted as she watched his face.
“You’re amazing, you know that?” Sirius looked back at her, his gaze intense as his gray eyes held hers.
“A woman always likes to be told.” Marlene tried to keep her tone light, but her words came out breathless.
“How badly do you want this drink?” He rested his forehead against hers.
“Can you make it back to the castle?”
“Don’t worry, I know a shortcut.”
With one more searing kiss, Sirius pulled her out the door, past their still snogging friends, and down the secret passage back to the castle, where he made sure she knew exactly how grateful he was that she’d pushed James and Lily together.
It's that time of year again, folks! Jilytober is almost upon us, the month devoted to the Epic Love Story that led to Harry Potter's existence. As usual, I have put together a prompt list in case people are looking for writing inspiration. Any and everyone should feel free to use them! Some definitely feel like #ClassicJily. Tag me if you write something, so I can reblog it😊 Have fun, friends!
@matrixaffiliate, @tumbledfreckles, @midnightelite, @blitheringmcgonagall @siriuslychessi @siriusly-sapphic (and all the rest of yas 😘), here we go!
One foggy morning, when Sirius was going to a very dangerous mission for the Order in a cold and desolated place, Marlene gave him her Gryffindor scarf, hoping he would get it back to her very, very soon.
