Remus’s soulmates, of course, are the Marauders. They are his closest confidants, brothers closer than blood, young men he would entrust with his life. Despite the war looming on the horizon, they’ve still managed to retain much of their innocence. Mischief runs rampant with all four of them, and there’s seldom a time you’ll find them doing absolutely nothing together. Their fun loving spirits always pulls them into rather wild situations – just take a look at their Marauder Code. Half of the outlandish rules on there are made for a reason. It’s difficult to quantify everyone’s positions in the group, since at this point they’ve become so close that they borrow much of each other’s personality traits. Yet there are a few trends that are easily distinguished: James usually takes the lead, Peter never fails to add in perfectly-timed dry quips, Sirius brings a wild sense of fun and Remus acts as the conscience. This, of course, is just skimming the surface of their dynamic – all four boys have a much deeper bond than simply superficial aspects of their character, and their roots go deeper still.
On more general #squad level, however, Remus hangs out with the Gryffindor Sixth Years. The Marauders frequently hang around the Gryff Girl Squad of Marlene, Mary and Lily, and the seven of them have become an inseparable friend group that hang around each other constantly – whether it’s during Hogsmeade weekends, between classes, or during summer vacation. The Girls are the first people the Marauders go to when asking someone to join them on an adventure, many nights spent watching the stars on the Astronomy Tower, out skipping rocks by the lake, or playing silly games like Truth or Dare in the Common Room. Each person has a unique relationship with the other six, but there are a few more obvious relationships. Combined with James and Sirius, Marlene can make for a rather formidable force. ( No one ever picks dare when the two of them are both playing. ) Mary and Remus, on the other hand, find kindred spirits in each other as the sane people in an otherwise rambunctious friend group. Despite James and Lily’s squabbling and Marlene and Peter’s familiar bickering at times, the group gets along quite well, and Remus wouldn’t give it up for anything.

THE DEVIL’S GOT NOTHING ON ME, MY FRIEND;
NIKOLAI SELWYN ;; UNDERBOSS AU. The Selwyn crime family operates mainly in Manhattan, The Bronx, Brooklyn, & New Jersey. The family also maintains influence in Queens, Staten Island, Long Island, Westchester County, Rockland County, Connecticut, Massachusetts, & Florida. The Selwyn Family is one of the five families that dominate organized crime activities in New York City.
Prominent Members ;; Julius Selwyn ( Boss ), Nikolai Selwyn ( Underboss ), Evan Rosier ( Consigliere ), & Antonin Dolohov ( Capo ).
The DEATH EATERS consist of New York’s major crime families, each operating in specific territories & owning a seat on The Commission. Established in 1938, when Tom Marvolo Riddle, the boss of the now defunct Riddle crime family, formally organized the previously warring factions into what are now known as the Avery, Black, Lestrange, Malfoy, Riddle (no longer extant), & Selwyn crime families, each with demarcated territory, organizationally structured in a now-familiar hierarchy, & reporting up to the same overarching governing entity. Despite resistance from his fellow bosses, Riddle declared himself boss of all bosses, reneging on a deal he had made with Arcturus Black III, the then boss of the Black crime family, that would establish the two bosses as equals. Riddle was murdered in the summer of 1945. His murder is said to have been the result of an agreement between Arcturus Black III, Armand Malfoy II, & Caius Selwyn. The Commission, the governing entity which continues to govern Death Eaters activities in the United States & Canada, was established soon after.

❛ please look away , don’t look at me . ❜
❛ please look away , don’t look at me . ❜
the words are soft, weak, pleading, but he could hardly look away, now. he could not look away. his breathing, he thinks, has stopped, or slowed to near stillness, his eyes were widened and unblinking — epiphany. it shakes him to his core and his mind fractures, rearranges, ideas and notions discarded and replaced and fitting together anew, and at last — it settles. he moves forwards before realizing it.
his mind is no longer in control – or perhaps it is, perhaps this is the first time it ever is – as he strides towards the older boy and swivels him around. his eyes meet with the other’s, a question tumbles past before he can stuff it back — “do you think you’re worthless?”
it cannot be. it could not be, and yet there it is – shame, in the other’s eyes, and micah could barely comprehend. his breath hitches, and his eyes narrow as he leans forwards. “you are worth more than you will ever realize. you –” he says, hisses, and it still doesn’t feel enough — it will never feel enough — “you saved me.”
