Guess who's officially posting the first chapter of that Dorcas-centric fic on May 1st?
Me is.
Little snippet of ch1 <3

“Shh. It'll be okay,” Peter says, hugging her back as his voice breaks. He sounds odd, but it makes sense. He's been friends with Marlene forever; the shock probably hits him hard. “I got you. It'll be alright,” he whispers. Dorcas tunes him, and everything else, out.
When they return to HQ (well, that's a nice way to call it. It's just the Prewett's home), Emmeline carries a very passed out but not dead Avery. Dorcas doesn't know how they got here. Peter probably brought her. She's not sure.
Sirius is awake, sitting on a chair, while Remus is trying to coax him into drinking some tea. Remus looks up and meets her eyes.
“Dorcas-,” she really doesn't wanna hear it right now. She doesn't even look up. “Dorcas- hey, look at me-,” Remus tried again.
“Don't- she's not…” Peter stops Remus. “She hasn't spoken since we left the Mckinnon's.”
Dorcas is aware they're looking at her with pity. Like she's some- some terminally ill, orphaned, starving street dog. Or something equally pitiful.

I love her <3 she's so dramatic sometimes (no she's not) (they are looking at her as, quote, "some terminally ill, orphaned, starving street dog. Or something equally pitiful.")
(Which is also exactly what she looks like lmao)
