𝓜𝓪𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓽:

Welcome to my blog :) I have the internet savvy of an 80 year old, so I have no idea what I’m doing. Please be nice!

𝒲𝐼𝒫𝓈:

Fault Lines - a long, lily evans-centric boarding school AU. A coming of age story following Lily from fourteen to eighteen, after she is accepted as a day student at the prestigious boarding school Godric. a story about friendship as much as romance (maybe more than).

Relationships: Lily & Remus, Lily & Marlene & Mary, heavy background Dorlene and Wolfstar, unrequited Marylily, endgame Pandalily, and more

𝒞𝑜𝓂𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓉𝑒𝒹:

Few and Far Between (1,810,954 words)- A very long, mostly canon compliant fic following multiple povs through Hogwarts and up to the second wizarding war. Angst heavy, graphic depictions of violence and major character death.

Povs: Remus, Sirius, Lily, Marlene, Mary, James, and Peter

Multiple ships including Wolfstar, Marylily, Dorlene, Jily, and Jegulus

Alpine (7,698 words) - Oneshot, Modern, muggle AU, POV Mary Macdonald

After being rocketed to success as a streamer, Mary Macdonald takes a step back and spends an internetless Christmas with her oldest friends in a remote cabin in the alpine woods, relearning the joys of friendship.

ᴅᴏʀʟᴇɴᴇ:

Light My Fire (68,689 words) - Fake dating Dorlene with Cheerleader!Dorcas and Soccerplayer!Marlene set in an American High School. Featuring a very queer marauders friend group.

Background ships: Wolfstar, Marylily, Jegulus, Rosekiller, Pandora/Xeno

Carnage (8,431 words) - Explicit oneshot, enemies Dorlene with Vampire Hunter Marlene and Vampire Dorcas Meadowes. They want to kill each other (erotically). Includes smut and graphic depictions of violence. Very bloody, please mind the tags.

Not So Fair Maiden (162,619)- Dorcas is a princess, Marlene is a struggling fencer, they're both competing to win the heart of the prince of Slytherin. What could go wrong?

Dorlene centric, Royalty AU and Reality Dating Show AU, slowburn with POV Marlene McKinnon

Background ships: Wolfstar and Jily

ᴘᴀɴᴅᴀʟɪʟʏ:

Kaleidoscope (5,589 words) - a muggle AU set in the summer of 1976. Lily goes to stay with her aunt for the summer and finds new friendship and perhaps even love.

Lily’s pov, background dorlene, a focus on Marlene & Lily's friendship

ᴡᴏʟꜰꜱᴛᴀʀ:

Last Christmas (I Gave You My Heart) (83,799 words) - Exes to Lovers Wolfstar, set during the Christmas season. After seven years of not seeing each other, Sirius and Remus are brought back together for James and Lily’s wedding. Remus now engaged, and Sirius a famous pop star. What could go wrong?

Povs: Remus, Sirius, Tonks

Background/secondary ships: Jily, Remadora, minor Dorlene

This will update when I post something new :)

Clash (ao3)

Marlene McKinnon worked her entire life to play professional quidditch. The day she was drafted onto the Holyhead Harpies should have been the greatest of her life, if only she hadn’t been a second draft pick to Dorcas Meadowes; the talented, cutthroat player from France, who looks just as good as she plays. Marlene hates her, but she’s also kind of obsessed with her.

aka Dorlene Heated Rivalry AU but with quidditch!

peter pettigrew always longed for control above all else. control of his own life, control of the people around him. that was what created the first flickers of his resentment when he was a kid, as he was never the leader of the marauders group. he was never the one to make the plans, just the one brought along. a secret resentment of james and sirius, the obvious leaders, that grew with age. he was accomplice to the pranks, not instigator. he was even an accomplice when they joined the order of the phoenix. something not chosen by him, but decided by the leaders. james and sirius said they would, and so they did. peter was bystander to his own life.

and it was that desperation for control that eventually lead him to voldemort. desperate to take control, to stop following james potter and sirius black. to gain his own autonomy, to be something other than the best friend. someone who had a say, someone who could be more. only he was not, an in the end he was still just the follower, cowering at the feet of voldemort himself.

okay no i dont think the valkyries would be in a group like KATSEYE because lets be so fr marlene would rather die then listen to any of their songs. but they would 1000000000% form a girlband and practice in lily's garage.

#i don't think marlene mckinnon can dance and i'll die on that hill #she's made to stand on stage with a guitar i fear #like julien baker...#marlene mckinnon

personally i don't think marlene mckinnon drinks caffeine. she's already too high energy, she'd start talking and not stop for like thirty minutes.

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

dorcas meadowes being absolutely obsessed with perfection to the point of taking hours to get ready every morning. who has her entire day planned down to the minute. who always has to look perfect, to get perfect marks, to maintain perfect composure. no losing her temper, no showing emotions, no messing up. she has to be the best at everything.

Where do you think Lily learned about feminism? It probably wasn’t taught at how considering petunia. And I’ve never considered the wizarding world to be that enthusiastic about this topic in general. Where do you think she picked this stuff up?

Newspapers, television, radio, magazines, books. Feminism wasn't a niche issue after 1970. She's going home over the end of term holidays and going home for Christmas, and still likely has some Muggle friends at least at first, and is paying attention to the world around her. She might call it the women's movement or women's rights or women's lib instead of feminism, but she would be aware of it. It wasn't hard to know about feminism even if you grew up in an explicitly antifeminist home - in fact antifeminist parents are more likely to rage and rant against Those Damn Women Getting Ideas.

But she would have seen Mary Poppins and its subplot about women's suffrage when she was a child. She would have seen singers and celebrities on TV talking about women's equality. She would have probably known about figures like Mary Wollstonecraft and Millicent Fawcett, and would have had access to a much more gender-equal society in the wizarding world (mixed-gender sports! true equality in education for girls and boys! historical figures like Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff as examples of women who rose to great heights in the careers of their choice! both men and women wear the same styles of clothes and androgyny is extremely common! the WW is still staggeringly sexist but it's easily achieved a lot of the major goals of Muggle feminism!) that gave her an idea of what her life could be like.

feminism wasn't this arcane knowledge kept away from Lily. even people like my mother (grew up in an intensely religiously conservative household that was strongly antifeminist) knew what feminism was and adopted feminist beliefs and wished that their circumstances were less structurally unequal because they knew things could be better!

there is no universe to me where modern au sirius wouldn't be chronically online as a kid. he spent his summers isolated and lonely in grimmauld place, i truly think his main source of socializing outside of his family would by the internet.
