hey! lily evans carries a muggle camera with her everywhere she goes and is solely responsible for the documentation of the marauders school years! also also also every single one of those pictures was lost after October 31st 1981 because sirius black flipped through the albums with bloody hands and they were taken away as evidence!

[lilyslark]

oh nothing just thinking about sirius black finding james potter’s body on this night 43 years ago and being haunted by his ghost for the rest of his life with nothing but rage and grief and guilt to fuel him.

you know. the usual.

Happy Halloween!!

Deep down Remus knew that he ought to ask Sirius outright. Except.

Except he was terrified of the answer He was terrified that it wasn’t about the war or James or growing up. He was terrified that the problem was him. What if Sirius had just fallen out of love?

Until the End - Chloe Ament

I've talked a lot about this song today but I still can't stop thinking about these lyrics:

"Their friends who used to cheat on tests now 21 cheating death Go out to drink and laugh before loosing their lives to settle scores"

And

"Neither had been prepared for when the darkness cast it's final blow oh, he bled out and she fled home She raced to keep her son alive and met her love on the other side"

What if Lily visited Ivy in her dreams?

Warnings: Use of an OC, ghost Lily Potter, mother daughter who didn't get enough time, forced to grow up too soon, I don't support JKR, Lily tells Ivy how proud she is of her, dream visitation, crying, mentions of not feeling good enough, angsty, mentions of childhood trauma, the timeline is weird, reassurance, and not happy ending

Tossing and turning. Flashs of green light. Screams. Ivy hated Halloween. She hated Voldemort for taking her parents away from her. Suddenly a weird calmness enters her dreams. A redheaded woman, with green eyes, in her late teens or early 20s appears. Lily. "Mum?" Ivy asks the woman. "Hello, Ivy." The woman says. "How are you here? Am I dead?" Ivy asks her mother. It had been 13 years to date since Ivy and Harry had been left as orphans. 13 years since Ivy saw her mother die in front of her. "Shh, you're alright dear, you're not dead, I'm just in your dreams." Lily explains. "You have been so brave." Lily extends her ghostly arm and Ivy feels a breeze in her hair followed by a warm sensation. "Your father and I, are so proud of you, so very proud. You have been so strong. You are resilient, just like the ivy I named you after." Lily comforts her daughter. "I miss you. Can't you come back?" Ivy pleads, she wasn't thinking clearly, she just wanted her mom. "Unfortunately no, but I'll be here watching over you until you pass on. You, my sweet girl, are so brave but I must go." Lily says before her translucent figure fades away, leaving Ivy alone.

[erectomyjunko]

I am NOT ready to be bombarded by angst on Halloween

[lilyslark]

[hallieticket]

Sirius stumbles down the street, toes catching on the pavement as he tumbles through the road, ears ringing with the silence that filled the Potters’ home, arms aching with the loss of the weight of his nephew.

Ahead, a fat man ducks into an alley, movements jittery and sudden as he glances to make sure nobody watches.

Sirius is watching, the dog barking in his mind the only break in the deadly silence as he darts forward, more hunter than man.

He’s going to kill himself a mouse.

Happy Halloween people!!!

Because we are in the Marauders fandom and happiness is basically illegal (especially on a day like today), I present to you this shirt fic about the happenings of October 31st in 1981, aka the downfall of James Potter, Lily Evans, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew :))

You can read the chapters in any order you want a long as all Part 1s and James' Chapter are read before the Part 2s :)

I really hope some of you find time to read it and as always criticism is welcomed

Hope you enjoyyy
