Does anyone have good marauders era girls fanfic recommendations?

[wrenswreath]

It gets really hard to be in this fandom sometimes. a lot of y'all are misogynistic, and I understand that's often not a conscious decision, but rather a result of social conditioning, and I understand that you can have your "preferences" or would rather seek out fics that you can relate to more, but god, it's so draining to be in such a male-focused fandom.

I do try my best to bring more attention to the girls, I reblog a lot of sapphic content, I read almost exclusively about wlw pairings, I kudos and comment, the fics I recommend to people are all focused on women. Basically, I show my support to creators of women-focused content, because it encourages them to continue creating such content.

I myself am a queer Indigenous girl, and, to put it bluntly, I'm sick of the lack of representation in a space that is supposed to be inclusive. Of course queer men should be represented, but when you prioritise representing them over queer women (especially including queer women of colour), you really should take a step back and look at what kind of message that sends.

Now, I would like to make it clear that I am not forcing anyone to write about content purely for the sake of representation. Fanfic writers write for free, and I am grateful for all the work they contribute to this fandom. If you do not think you can put in the enthusiasm needed to write a fanfiction about a certain pairing, then don't write one. A fic written not for your own joy will inevitably just read as forced representation.

That being said, however, I do think people should look deeper into why they don't want to read/write content about women. Unpacking internalised misogyny can be difficult, I get it. It's hard to admit you might have biases against a minority, especially when you think of yourself as a progressive person. I've been there, I had a bunch of ideas about how I should look, dress, act, etc. that were all really just ideas that were socially conditioned into me by a patriarchal society.

I doubt the people who this is targeted to will ever actually read this, let alone take what I've said to heart. Most people who will read this are probably the ones who do value the girls in the fandom (and not just say they do). But, regardless, I needed to get it off my chest.

I'm just gonna log off anywhere where I see fandom content for the next week, so if you want to talk to me I won't see your messages till then. I try to keep my surroundings positive, and when I feel such negativity I know it's time to take a break and focus on things that are good for my mental health.

pureblood dorcas meadowes, who didn't know shit about muggle music until marlene showed it to her. and she pretends she's unimpressed but then buys as many albums as she can just to listen and feel closer to marlene through the songs.

Sirius: I'm bored. What should I do? Regulus: Jump off a cliff. Remus: Read a book. James: Prank someone!! Peter: Uhh- Peter: Go to a shoe shop, buy shoes and then go to Three Broomsticks, place your shoes on your head and dance on the table with beer in your mouth. Everyone: Lily, sighing: Just go fuck Remus or something. Remus: Wait what-

[scarlicbread27]

people portray lily evans too seriously.. like this is the girl that threw herself off of swings, called james a ‘toerag’, had snark and a temper that arguably rivals harry’s and she married james fucking potter. she willingly attached herself to the marauders for life.. she has to be a tiny bit insane i think.

petition for people to start writing lily a little silly.. a little deranged.. a little freakish, i might say.

I love confident casanova Mary as much as anyone, BUT yk what would be funnier? Mary who cannot for the life of her figure out why SO MANY people have a crush on her. Don't get me wrong, she's gorgeous and she knows it, but she's also snarky and cutting to anyone outside her circle of friends. Her fashion sense belongs on a runway, but the minute she's home? That girl is in her ratty old pjs watching trashy tv. She can't be bothered to wear make up most of the time and her hair has a will of its own. She is perfectly happy to kill a boy who pisses her off, and she fake proposes to her friends in public on a regular basis.

Messy, human Mary Macdonald who EVERYONE has a crush on, and couldn't tell you why if her life depended on it.

The Wrong Color

Summary: poly!jegulily x reader, Y/N and Lily wear the boys jerseys at the Gryffindor vs Slytherin game.

cw: suggestive

word count: 1.3k

The lovely Scottish morning light was always so peaceful when it glowed through the black lake and the Slytherin dorm room windows. The light fractured and bloomed along the green bed sheets you were tangled in. It would have been perfect, if only your boyfriend wasn’t running around the room looking for all his quidditch gear.

Regulus always gets like this before games, but especially games against your rival house, the house that your other boyfriend and girlfriend are a part of; Gryffindor. You love the other half of your relationship, but man, could they be annoying. You liked the rivalry, it made things fun, especially since it was two against two, you and Regulus, and Lily and James.

Regulus was worked up last night, meaning you two didn’t get much sleep, meaning you both woke up late and now he was rushing to get to breakfast before the match. 

“You know this is your fault right?” he explained to you. “If you hadn’t stayed the night-”

“My fault?” you interrupted sounding amused. “If I’m remembering correctly, it was you begging ‘please please, I’ll do anything-”

It was his turn to interrupt you, this time with a kiss. He broke away and smiled down at you. He looked godly in this light.

“You'll be in the stands cheering for me today right?” he asked, the smile still lingering on his lips.

“Of course not! You know I can't play favorites,” you explained “Plus why would I? I hate you.” You said, joking of course.

He raised his brows and cocked his head to the side. “Oh really? Was that hatred last night?” he asked before kissing you again, laying you back on the bed and climbing on top of you. 

You really wish you could stay like this, but you giggled and pushed him off, swatting at his arm saying “You’re already late! Go!”

He took your command and breezed out the door of his unshared dorm room, a perk of being a prefect. 

Right, now it was your turn to get dressed, only you and Lily had been scheming. You were going to show up in James’s spare Gryffindor jersey, and Lily in Regulus’s. You had always just worn your own house colors or the correlating boy's extra jerseys, but you and Lily wanted to see their reactions. 

You pulled on the red and gold, pairing it with some jeans and converse, a very casual, very James look. You looked at yourself in the mirror, it felt so unnatural, but that was the fun of it.

You met Lily outside your common room before heading to the stands to get a good seat. 

  Seeing her in the green and black jersey was odd, but she was striking, as always. The green brought out the colors in her eyes, making her red hair stand out even more. She was gorgeous.

“You look good in green.” you blushed as you told her.

She scoffed as she took you in. “You look good in red,” she said. “Come on, we should get going before all the front row seats are taken,” she wrapped her arm around your shoulder, pulling you into her side and kissing your temple. 

You two caught up with Marlene and Dorcas, both sporting their own house colors, Marlene in her own jersey, and looked at you and Lily in slight bewilderment. 

��Uh, I think you two grabbed the wrong tops when dressing this morning.” Marlene examined, raising an eyebrow at the pair of you.

You looked at Lily, then back at your friends. “Huh, guess we were rushing.” you said, smirking. Lily nudged you with her hip, but the four of you continued on walking to the pitch.

Once there, you had gone right up to your usual spot, Peter had dutifully saved you all seats. You took yours, front and center, and waited for Lily to return from the concessions stand with the butterbeer you asked for. 

You turned and made small conversations with Peter about the previous quidditch matches and yesterday's boring potions lecture. 

“Oh, uh… by the way, what’s with the uh,” Peter said pointing to your choice of jersey.

“Just wanted to be supportive, that’s all,” you said with a fake tone of innocence.

He chuckled. “Yes but, on today of all days? They might just knock each other off their brooms.” 

“Oh don’t worry, Pete,” you said, “Lily is in Regulus’s.”

All of your friends knew about your relationship, and were happy for you all. They never judged or misunderstood anything, something that your entire group of friends was known for, being accepting and understanding of all types of love. 

They did, however, love to see the games the four of you played with each other. You four were known to prank and tease and provoke each other, but it was always in good fun and always stemming from the house rivalry. Other than that, the four of you didn’t play when it came to your relationship, you were wholly devout to each other, no matter what house you may belong to. 

Lily came up the stands, promised butterbeer in hand, and sat herself right next to you. She had perfect timing, the boys were about to start playing. 

James zoomed by on his broom, Regulus hot on his tail, warming up and having some fun teasing each other before the real game starts.

“Gyffindor has this in the bag.” Lily announced to all of your friends.

“Mmm, I’m pretty sure Slytherin has the better record this year.” you replied and shot her a devious smile.

“Remind me, who won the cup last year?” she questioned, giving you the same deviousness. You replied by playfully rolling your eyes, hitting her knee with your own.

The high pitched whistle sounded, signaling the start of the game. It was an intense, brutal rush of back and forth. Both teams playing hard, fighting for the win and the glory that comes along with it. The game turned dirty and aggressive almost immediately.

The match was tied, coming down to the final moments when you watched both your boyfriends diving and spinning toward the ground before pulling up at the last minute. They were no doubt chasing after the tiny golden snitch. 

You leaped to your feet, tracking them both the whole way. James was reaching out his hand, the snitch almost within grasp when Regulus suddenly slammed into his side, knocking James away, putting himself closer to the snitch instead. James didn’t take this lightly, he zoomed back to Regulus’s side and the two shoved and shoved. You would have been more concerned, but this is exactly how each match ended, the two of them fighting for the golden ball. 

The boys rerouted their course, heading straight over the section both you and Lily were sitting in. This must have been some sort of plan devised by Regulus, because this change made James’s gaze slip, fall to both Lily wearing Slytherin green and you in Gryffendor red with big yellow block letters spelling out ‘POTTER’.

This slight break in attention, the hesitation, allowed Regulus to capture the snitch while his opponent was distracted.

You cheered and hugged Dorcas, feeling prideful for your house’s big victory, Regulus taking a lap around the pitch. Lily cheered as well, not as much as you of course, not wanting to admit defeat, but still proud of her boy. You took her by the hand and pulled her along down to the field to meet your boys.

James met you first, flying down a bit disappointed, but obviously happy for Regulus. He spotted you and immediately hugged you. This sweet gesture was a guise, pulling you close to his body only to whisper “This is your fault you know,” into your ear.

You giggled. “Believe it or not, that is not the first time I have heard that sentence today.” you said, pulling away and looking up at him. He had that smirk, that look spread across his face, one that often came after he lost. Perhaps you wouldn’t get much sleep tonight either.
