‘I thought good guys get to be happy’

question for marauders fans

I've seen an influx of talk about people in this fandom not knowing anything about the original harry potter books and obviously we are so far from canon but it is still important to know where things come from, at least in my opinion. This is not meant to judge anyone, I'm purely curious.

Studies of a Black Dog (Chapter 3/8, E, 17,5k+)

Modern Setting, Friends to Lovers, Second Chances, Wales, Autistic Sirius Black

When their hands brush accidentally, something incredible happens to him. Incredibly stupid and just as awkward, and the worst thing is that this is the second time today, and god only knows which time if he recalled his entire life. Sirius almost swoons. He knows this feeling, nagging and just wrong in its essence. It shouldn’t be like this, he shouldn’t be feeling this force of a magnetic pull towards his best friend. Back in the old days, he’d go as far as to let this feeling ablate his body, erode his bones. When it once lightened him up, setting his intestines on fire, he’d let the waves wash his charred, chewed up corpse ashore. All because the only person he ever loved was his best friend who would never, not even once, look at him the same way.

You can read the first chapter here.

This fic also has a playlist.

memes are fun and relatable and all that, but don't let them discourage you. all of that stuff that doesn't make it into the final product is part of how the final product gets made

hey boy don't kill yourself. green's dictionary of slang is available online and allows you to explore 500 years of english vulgarity. you can search by part of speech, source, time period, etymology, and usage. there's a whole category for gay slang. they even have specific citations listed so you can see the exact context for yourself. boy did you know that in 1927 "to kneel at the altar" was slang for "to sodomize"

Fun Story to Share.

I got my (now 18-year-old) daughter into Ao3 back in 2021. I taught her she should always comment - even if the fic looks old or abandoned or whatever. She did.

Well - she got this email this morning:

The fic was written in 2014 and essentially abandoned.

Bethy read and reviewed in 2021 (and was actually the only person who had commented at all).

Today in 2025 - the final chapter was posted by the author and this was her reply to Bethy’s comment.

———

Never question whether a fic is too old to comment on.

I mentioned in a post that I was fostering five kittens and @backuploveinterest told me I had to pay kitten tax, so here it is! These are Garlic (2 dots on his head), Onion (big spot on her head), Pepper (the grey one), Vanilla (the all white one) and Mustard (1 little dot on her head), and they're three weeks old today ❤️

author interview

Thanks for the tag @major-toast!

total works: 5

total word count: 166,461 ( + a bunch of unfinished WIPs in my drive)

your top 5 stories by kudos/likes?

Well, I only have five fics posted haha but here they are, from most kudos to least kudos:

are you lonely just like me? - 915 kudos

2. the inconveniences in our favour - 733 kudos

3. instance of happenstance - 468 kudos

4. ain't this life so sweet? - 215 kudos

5. my one and lonely - 95 kudos

do you respond to comments? Yes, I love responding to comments!

what's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending? I don't think any of my fics have angst endings! I have a WIP that will have a very sad ending (MCD sad) and I'm looking foward to explore the writing of that!

what's the fic you've written with the happiest ending? All of them have very happy endings!

do you write crossovers? Depends on what is considered a crossover? I've never written (and probably will never write) a Characters From This Piece Of Media Meet Characters From This Other Piece Of Media kind of crossover. But I have written a Characters From This Piece Of Media In This Other Piece Of Media's Universe/Setting/Scenario. That's what I did with the Pretty Woman AU, and I also have a Catfish AU and another romcom movie AU in the works.

have you ever received hate on a fic? Yes, I once recieved a very mean comment from an anti telling me I am sick in the head and disgusting for writting age gap stories.

do you write smut? Oh yes, I love writing smut.

have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of?

have you ever had a fic translated? No, but I consider translating my works to my native language myself on a weekly basis.

have you ever co-written a fic before? No.

what's a wip that you want to finish but don't think you ever will? I hope I'll finish all of them? But realistically, maybe not all of them will be finished. I don't have a specific one that I think is less likely to be finished.

what are your writing strengths? I think the best I can do to answer this question is say what comes easier for me, what I have the most fun writing. I don't know if the result is necessarily good, but I do love writing smutty scenes, banter/flirting dialogue and longe internal monologue bits of the character reflecting about their feelings/thoughts.

what are your writing weaknesses? Oh, so many things. I think writing in English still is a weakness for me, I hope that one day I’ll have enough command of English to write as well as I do in my native language.

what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? I am currently studying French, so I absolutely love when there are French bits in Marauders fics. I've also included a bunch of French in one of my works (not dialogue) and it was very good practice as a student. BUT I feel like the whole "translation on the end notes" thing is very impractical. I wish more people knew they can use work skins on AO3 to insert the translation in code throughout the text, like I did for my fic, because it's extremely easy to do (I literally just followed a 3 step tutorial), and it works wonders for readability.

what's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to? I guess I would like to write Dorlene someday. I have a sort of plot in mind, but I'm still cooking it. Also, Jegulily.

what's your favourite fic you've written? Hands down it's the Mr. Wolf fic (the inconveniences in our favour). It was SO FUN to write and I love the end result so much I almost don't believe it was written by me.

New Year, New Snippet

Thanks for the tag @veganbutterchicken!

So, I'm working on a little stupid thing right now — it's Sirius and Remus participating on the TV Show Catfish. (I know, no one asked for this. But I'm having fun.)

It’s fine if others don’t understand, because he does. And, most importantly, Moony does too. They share this space—not really a place—but somewhere they both go during their late-night calls, with the shared secrets, the inside jokes and the whispered confessions. Somewhere only the both of them can access, and it’s the best place in existence. It’s more than enough—most of the time. It’s just that sometimes— Sometimes this thing—this need—it becomes harder to ignore. Like when he sees a couple holding hands on the street. Or when one of his casual flings edges towards something more, and he realises he has to end it. Because it wouldn’t be fair. Because they’re not Moony, and it could never last.  He also doesn’t know exactly what was the last drop. What pushed him over the edge. At exactly what moment that something happened, the thing that made him take James’ suggestion and write the damn email. Maybe it was one of those tough days—failed flings, happy couples everywhere. Or the even harder ones: canceled meet-ups, deflective messages when things got too real. Whatever it was, it landed him here. On his couch. In his flat. Surrounded by strangers and cameras, doing what he hated most—talking about it. Talking about Moony. An interview that strangers will watch, people who could never understand. Will this break the spell? Will it shatter the fragile, secret dome of the not-place they built together? Letting these people in—to probe, question, pity, and judge his choices— (...)

10 people I want to get to know better

Thanks for tagging me @thisfrailheart!

Last song: Ma Meilleure Ennemie - Stromae, Pomme

Favorite color: blue!

Last movie: I fear I'm going to give too niche answers for this topic and the next HAHA As sometimes I am patriotic, I went to the movies to watch the brazilian movie that won the Golden Globe's for Best Actress in Drama: Ainda Estou Aqui (I'm Still Here). Great movie.

Last TV show: related to the previous answer lol I am obssessed with Fernanda Torres (who won best actress), so I am currently watching the masterpiece that is Tapas & Beijos.

Sweet/spicy/savory: sweet.

Relationship status: whatever you call not-actually-married-but-together-seven-years-and-living-together

Last thing I googled: "gnawing synonym", can you tell i was writing?

Current obsession: I'm reading Dear Your Holiness. So, Dear Your Holiness.

Looking forward to: so I'm currently fostering five newborn kittens at my house. I am bottle feeding them and rubbing their butts with a baby wipe to help them pee. They are the cutest things but it's a lot of work and I miss having full nights of sleep, so I'm definitely looking foward to finally weaning them so they can go to their forever homes (only 16 days until weaning begins!)

Me reading fanfiction: This is everything I’ve ever wanted.

Me reading books: Who are these people? Where is Remus?

[magicbeings]

I don't think people who don't like Jily get Lily like I do because she was abandoned by two of the people she loved the most in the world: her big sister, Petunia, who gave up on her just because she was different and was most definitely envious of her, and her childhood best friend, Severus, who she had always found comfort in when things weren't right but ultimately chose his blood supremacy beliefs over their shared love and pain. And then there's James Potter, who despite everything (despite Lily purposely pushing him away for years) never gave up on her. Instead, he grew into the kind of person who could stand by her side. Even until the end, he gave up his last breath to defend her and their son because he loved her more than life itself. And that’s why Jily is so wonderful: because James was everything Lily needed but never thought she’d have.
