Exile (Jake Sully x Reader)
After you have finally escaped the brutality of Quaritch, your feet wandered carelessly to eywa-knows where. With no clan to return to, you will never guess where you end up in– the root of it all.
Give me a minute to hold my girl. (I) The joke's on me (II) The inches in between us. (III)
Know it's for the better. (Sully family x daughter!Reader)
You've been thrusted to carry the burden of being the eldest after his passing.
I ! Feels like we had matching wounds, but mine's still black and bruised (and yours is perfectly fine now.) II ! Once there was a way to get back homeward, (you're gonna carry that weight for a long time.) III ! I watch the fathers with their little girls and wonder what I did to deserve this, (how could you hurt a little kid?) IV ! Mom, am I young? Can I dream a few months more? V ! I know it's for the better. Know it's for the better.
Every corner of this house is haunted. (Sully Family x daughter!reader)
Jake had taken you as his own after Tsu'tey's passing, leaving no one to care for you. Things had been good before your relationship with him had blurred along growing of age. You and him fought all the time; argued each other's ear off and tonight was no different-- except words have been said, severing the already damaged bond.
Chapters: One | Two | Three | Four | Five
A passage from Tuk-Tuk's diary (Things that have happened since you left us.)
Just drabbles of how little tuk-tuk copes after Neteyam's passing.
Chapters: One | Two | Three
One-shots:
Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk'itan
Two hearts on the floor— one mine, both yours. (And when he died, the sun was buried with him)
Ao'nung
Uh-oh! I think you're holding the heart of mine! (Second: My heart is, squeeze it apart- it's fine.)

i need me some more hoodrat chris bestie pleasee😣
maybe another scenario where reader is out with her friends and some guy won’t leave her alone so she says “ just wait till my man gets here ” and then the guy is like “ i ain’t scared of no lil white boy” and then chris shows up with his blicky 😋😋😋
Racketeer Pt. 2
Tumblr media
Pairing: Chris Sturniolo X Female Reader
Synopsis: Y/N and her friends are out clubbing for her best friends birthday, but this one guy won’t leave them alone. She calls Chris and he’s ready to kill for her🖤
Warnings⚠️: Once again pure self indulgence of hoodrat Chris, but also there’s talks of a pew pew in here obviously🤭 so enjoyyyy
Song for the imagine: No Suburban, Pt.2- Sheff G
You get shot down if you play his songs
I keeps Glock round’, I would let it off
Chris hated it when I went out alone, or with my homegirls because he felt like he couldn’t be there to protect me. Honestly I preferred it because Chris would watch every one like a hawk, and was prepared to pop a cap on anybody.
Tonight was my best friend's birthday, and she wanted to go to all the clubs downtown, and bar hop, but she wanted it just a girls night out. So when I told Chris this you can imagine the shock on his face
“Just the girls….” He said looking at me
“Yes Chris, just the girls” I said laughing
“Ima be like Batman…sneaking into that bitch and hiding in the shadows” he said
“Okayyyy creeper much” I said laughing at him again
“I’m kidding ma, but if anybody tries some crazy shit you know what to do” he said
“Yes I do, call you, ignore the person and hope you don’t pop the guy” I said rolling my eyes
“Exactly! This is why I love you” he said coming over and kissing me
Tonight was the night of my best friends extravaganzas, and I was currently finishing up getting ready. Chris decided he would drop me off at the first club since he didn’t trust Uber drivers and me alone. He’s very protective
I had gotten all dolled up in a black short sleeve long bodycon dress with glittery silver heels on, and my glitter clutch. I had done my hair and makeup up (however you want it be)
I walked out to the living room to let Chris know I was ready to go
“Baby I’m ready” I said walking to him in the living room
“Ouuuuuu someone’s looking real fucking good” he said reaching his hands out to grab me
“Aww thank you baby” I said leaning down and kissing him
“Alright let’s head out” he said grabbing my hand and walking us to his car
After about 30 minutes we had gotten downtown and to the first club. He put the car in park
“Alight baby I Love you, and I’ll keep you posted the whole night” I said giving him a kiss
“Love you too mama, and just know I’ll be right by my phone. If anything happens please baby call me” he said with puppy dog eyes
“I will my love” I said giving him one last kiss before heading out
My best friend and our homegirls and I were all partying and having a blast, she got a VIP section in the third club we were at. I had a few drinks and I was feeling good. Texting Chris every 20 minutes that everything was okay, and even sending him selfies and pictures of the girls and me.
I had decided to go to the bathroom alone which was probably the first biggest mistake of the night. To get to the bathroom I had to pass the cigar smoking area and the men’s bathroom, and that’s when I started to realize I might’ve done something stupid.
As I was walking to the bathroom some man stopped me
“Hey beautiful, where are you headed?” He asked me
“To the restroom” I said bluntly
“You should come hang with the real gentlemen up here” he said smirking down at me
“No, I'm good. I’m here with my friends” I said giving him a fake smile
“They can join us too” he said looking over at his friends
“We all have boyfriends. No thanks” I said, and with that I walked to the bathroom
Should I tell Chris? Should I not…..no he’ll come in here and create a big ass show.
I finished using the bathroom, and had to walk back pass these animals
“Nothing weird come sit with us” he yells as I speed past him
“I said no! Don’t you understand the word no? Leave me alone” I said shooing him with my hand and walking back down to our VIP area
“Hey girl where you been” my friend asks me
“I went to use the bathroom, and this creep wouldn’t stop talking to me” I said to them
“Oh god don’t let Chris find out” she said and started to laugh
“Honestly if he keeps trying me I will call Christopher” I said to them
About 20 minutes later we were all dancing in the VIP area when I feel eyes on me from above, so I look up, and that creepy guy with all his friends were watching my friends and I…..they looked like they were hunting for their next snack.
“FUCKING GO AWAY” I yelled up at him
“JUST ONE CHANCE BABY, ONE DANCE” he yelled back
“YO CREEPY GUYS WE ALL HAVE SHOOTER BOYFRIENDS I SUGGEST YOU BACK OFF” my best friend screamed at him
“WE DONT CARE ABOUT NO BOYFRIENDS” he yelled back
“LEAVE US ALONEEEEE” my other friend screamed at them, and we just went back to dancing
I’m going to say another 20 minutes went by, and all of a sudden these guys are walking towards our VIP area.
“Y/N I’m thinking now’s a good time to call Chris” my one friends said
“I think I will” I said grabbing my phone out of my purse
But before I could call Chris this asshole came up to us
“Come on pretty girl, why won’t you give me a chance” he said frowning
“Like I said I have a man” I said sipping my drink, and not even looking at him
“Oh baby I won’t tell no one” he said smiling at me
“Can you go away like I literally keep saying I have a man, and I don’t want to talk to you” I said rolling my eyes at him
“Well too bad baby. I won’t stop” he said trying to walk closer to me
“Oh no” I said sticking my foot out and pushing him back with my heel
“Just fucking wait till my man gets here” I said grabbing my phone to call Chris
“I ain’t scared of no lil white boy” he said laughing at me
I hit Chris contact and put the phone to my ear
“Hey baby, parties over already?” he asked laughing a bit
“Chris…” I said, and he immediately knew
“Where are you? And who’s bothering you” he said, and I heard him get off the bed
“I’m at Raven, and it’s some guy here who will not leave the girls and I alone. Like I just had to push him away with my foot he was getting so close” I told him
“Stay right there baby, and Ima be there real fast” he said, and I heard him load up his gun, and cock it
Oh boy these guys were in for a treat. About 30 minutes passed, and I saw Chris walking through the crowd
“Yooo Christopher” my best friend said giving him a handshake
“Thank you baby” I said as he came and sat next to me on the little couch
“Always baby, always” he said kissing my head
“Other than that creep how’s the birthday night going” he asked my friends
“Oh it’s going greattttt” they all said clearly very tipsy
I saw the guy again in the crowd watching us, and I knew he was about to come over
“That’s him Chris” I said tapping Chris, and having him look at the guy
Chris looked over at the guy dropping his face, and giving the guy a smug smirk
The guy still had the balls to walk over
“Ahhh the little boy toy” the guy said walking into our area
“Mmm I’d watch how I’m speaking to my man” I said to the guy
“Or what?” He said laughing
Chris laughed and leaned back allowing his pistol to be slightly exposed in his waistband.
“I’d choose my next words carefully” Chris said looking at the guy
“Who do you think you are” the guy said getting pissed
In a swift moment Chris got up, pulling the guy close to him, and placing the pistol at the guys dick
“I’m her boyfriend, and she’s been telling me you and your little stupid ass friends have been bothering her and her friends all night. Is this true” Chris asked him
“I don’t know what she’s saying” the guy said looking at Chris in fright
“IS THIS TRUE” he said pushing the barrel harder into the guys dick
“OKAY YES YES” he said getting scared
“If a lady tells you no, and she has a man you BACK THE FUCK OFF” Chris said to the guy
“Yeah yeah sure I got it” he said starting to sweat
“I’m not sure that you do get it…..maybe I have to pull the trigger” Chris said and started to cock the gun
“NO NO IM SORRY OKAY. I NEVER MEANT TO BOTHER THEM IM SORRY PLEASE LET ME GO” the guy started to weep into Chris arms
“Yeah, and guess what you’re paying for their whole tab, or I’ll be waiting outside for you, and I’ll split your fucking wig GOT IT” Chris said to the guy
“Yes I’m sorry I’m sorry” the guy said putting his hands up
“Now get the fuck outta here you fucking pussy before I change my mind and blow your dick off” Chris said pushing him back
The guy ran away, and Chris placed the pistol back in his waistband
“Fucking pussy….the fuck he thought he was” Chris said looking over his shoulder at the scared man
“Uhhh I love when you do that Chris” I said pulling him in to sit next to me
“I told you I’d do anything for you, and if it means popping someone…I’m gonna fucking do it” he said slinging his arm over my shoulder and giving me a kiss.
“To Chris for saving the day” my best friend screamed and we all cheered our cups together
I guess I’m in love with a shootah!
The End
I loveeeeee hoodrat Chris like okayyyyy😋🤞🏽. Lmk if yall liked this one as much at the first one 💋💋💋Also sorry I didn’t post at all yesterday I just wasn’t in the writing mood, but now we’re back🤭🫶🏽

Now I'm Bleeding
pairing: JJ Maybank x Fem!Reader
summary: To kiss in cars and downtown bars/Was all we needed/You drew stars around my scars/But now I'm bleedin'
word count: 877
cardigan masterlist main masterlist
"Stop making out in the backseat!" Pope screams, swerving as he looks at them in the rearview mirror. Y/N laughs and knocks her head into the door, but she doesn't notice with all the alcohol coursing through her system.
It was John B's birthday, so Pope had offered to be a DD when they decided to go to the mainland to drink. Usually Y/N and JJ were the only ones who drank on the mainland, so everyone was excited for the new experience of actually doing a bar crawl that wasn't going back and forth between the two bars in OBX that weren't overcharging tourons. Instead of birthday presents, everyone had chipped in on renting a mini van that could fit all six of them. Their plan was to sleep in it, because after that there was no money left over for a hotel room. Y/N and JJ had assured them that there was no need for a hotel room anyway, but after they had been sprayed with the sprinkler that one time everyone had been hesitant to believe them.
"Let them live, Pope!" Kiara yells in the front seat, rolling her eyes and taking a sip of her drink that she had somehow taken from the last bar, glass and all. They pulled up to the next location within the minute, and everyone stumbled out of the car. Sarah almost tripped and landed face first on the sidewalk, but luckily John B had gotten out first and was able to stop her from splitting her lip open. She laughed into his arms, and he seemed a little concerned at first before she kissed him and he seemed to forget it all.
"Maybe we should just find a hotel room for the night," Pope suggested to deaf ears as they all walked into the bar. It was getting late, and everyone continued to get sloppier as they ordered a round of drinks. Y/N was sitting on JJ's lap as the room spun around her, but his hand on her hip was the epicenter keeping her steady. She leaned into his chest, closing her eyes for a moment. She was exhausted, but so content. It was her best friend's birthday and she was out with her chosen family, sitting on her boyfriend's lap. She couldn't think of a more perfect moment.
"I'm gonna miss this when you're gone, J." Y/N is sure she misheard John B. She's sure she missed a key word, or maybe John B had way too much to drink and was mixing movies with real life. She's so sure that all she does is open her eyes, not even asking for clarification. She doesn't notice the way JJ tenses against her, his knuckles white on his drink.
"What are you talking about?" Kiara asks seriously, seeming to sober up a bit.
"JJ got a surfing model thing in Australia!" John B slurs, holding his drink up to JJ in cheers. Y/N chuckles. Now she's sure her friend is confusing movies with real life, and she almost lifts her drink in a mock cheer.
"No he doesn't." She says it with confidence, shaking her head and laughing. In her drunk mind, this is so funny. She wonders what movie John B must be thinking about.
"You didn't tell her?" John B's eyes go wide, lowering his drink as his voice clears a little bit. "Oh shit," He mutters.
"John B," Sarah starts, looking between her boyfriend and JJ. Y/N still doesn't get it, giggling.
"JJ isn't going to Australia!" She says, as if this was the most outrageous thing that's ever been said. "Maybe Pope was right and we do need to get a hotel." She turns to JJ to see his reaction, and that's when she notices how stiff he's gone, how hard his hand was gripping her hip and the drink.
How quiet he was.
"Jayj," She starts. She doesn't want to believe it. There's no way her boyfriend kept this from her. "Tell him you're not going to Australia," If she was sober, there'd be a smile painted on her face. But she can't keep her emotions in check when she's drunk, so the panic she feels is broadcast to the entire table.
"Y/N," His hand tightens so much that it pinches, and she moves from him. He goes to grab her, but they were at the end of the booth so she's already up, moving away from him. The way he said her name tells her everything she needs to know.
"No," She feels numb as she stumbles through the bar, pushing everyone out of her way. She barely makes it through the door before she trips to the sidewalk, blessedly empty at this time of night as she falls to her hands and knees. She hears her friends come out the doors in a rush, and it isn't until JJ puts his arm on her shoulder that she feels sick.
JJ is leaving. He's leaving her and he didn't even tell her. She can practically feel her body open up and her heart being ripped out of her body. When she closes her eyes, she thinks she sees blood, gushing from her open wound. She opens her eyes and heaves forward as she throws up.

folklore (Marauder's Version)
Welcome back to another episode of Mo and Marls going insane :) @idkjustlemmedrownlikerab and I overanalyzed every single song on folklore… (the BEST Taylor Swift album, no discussion).
Also, we first discussed this one like a month ago and I didn't take very detailed notes, so if I missed anything Mo, let me know!
Sorry, it took a bit longer for this one to come out… I’m trying my best here. 😭
Let’s get into it, shall we?
the 1
So we all know how James changed, right? Like how he grew out of the bullying and mistreatment? I think part of that maturity came from Jegulus. The experience of being in a relationship with someone who is the complete and utter opposite of you would probably take a lot of emotional maturity. (And immaturity, hence why he left him when he did). And obviously, Regulus would not have betrayed Voldomort if he hadn’t first gone through the worst of it all. If it was all sunshine and rainbows being a death eater, why on earth would he have changed his mind? Like the song says, they never would’ve matured and grown if it weren’t for the fallout of their relationship.
“And if you wanted me, you really should've showed. And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow.”
“To kiss in cars, and downtown bars was all we needed. You drew stars around my scars, but now I’m bleeding.”
cardigan
Yeah, I know the cliche. That’s literally the most quoted Wolfstar coded song lyric in the history of Taylor Swift songs, so instead, let me bring up verse 3.
This part of the song perfectly encapsulates how I think Remus felt after October 31st, 1981. Sirius would always be there in the back of his mind, whether it be the ghost of his slips or the scent of smoke. Even though he didn’t want to feel that way about Sirius anymore, considering the weight of the crimes that Sirius had supposedly committed, he still felt that way because the younger him was insistent that Sirius was the one. And some part of him knew that even though destiny fought against them, they’d end up together again. (Not for long- cough).
“But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss. I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs. The smell of smoke would hang around this long. 'Cause I knew everything when I was young. I knew I'd curse you for the longest time. Chasin' shadows in the grocery line. I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired. And you'd be standin' in my front porch light. And I knew you'd come back to me.”
“Who knows, if I never showed up, what could've been. There goes the loudest person this town has ever seen. I had a marvelous time ruining everything.”
the last great american dynasty
So first off, let’s completely ignore the word American in this scenario. Second off, my interpretation is different from the actual meaning of the song. Instead of blaming women from a sexist point of view, I’m instead using the motif that everyone was (rightfully) blaming the death eaters for the war. Does that make sense? Okay.
So when Mo first brought up the idea that this song was about Regulus, it took me a minute to understand where she was coming from (Not because it was a bad idea, not at all. This is just not my particular favorite song off of folklore). But the fact that one of the lyrics is “there goes the maddest women (person in this case) this town has ever seen, really sold it for me.
We may all argue that Barty was the maddest of all the death eaters, considering the lengths he went for Voldemort, but up until the betrayal, Regulus was literally the #1 Voldemort stan. He was mad. If he’d never “shown up,” yeah, some things might’ve been better. But to figure out the Horcruxs, he kind of had to go down that path. So in the final chorus, I honestly think it’s Regulus, 6 feet under, mocking everyone who hated him, because without him, Voldemort would’ve never been defeated.
“I think I've seen this film before, and I didn't like the ending.”
exile
This song is the dynamic I picture Wolfstar having after reuniting. Not in the shrieking shack, but outside of school. There were two conflicting sides to the story, but both left them in shambles. And now that they know the truth, they’re too scared to risk it again. Because what’s the point of trying again if they’re only going to die in the end?
The bridge gets this point across perfectly. When Taylor echos Justin’s singing with a second perspective of the story, that captures Sirius and Remus perfectly. Because from Remus’s perspective, Sirius didn’t give him any kind of heads up that he thought Remus himself to be the traitor. Sirius never gave him the time of day to hear him out! But obviously, Sirius tried giving signs, such as 1: keeping the Potter’s secret keeper extremely confidential to the point that he wouldn’t even tell his partner and 2: arguing with Remus about where he was at night. But how could Remus have known that? He couldn’t read Sirius’s mind! They were falling so quickly that there was no way to stop it.
Now that they know the truth, however, they’re learning to forgive each other and move past it. But how can they when they’re just as in love with each other as they were before? Why would they risk it all if it could disappear all the same? They knew how this movie ended, why would they watch it again?
“And I can go anywhere I want. Anywhere I want, just not home.”
my tears ricochet
This song is Sirius to many people all at once, so let me break it down a little.
The majority of the song is Sirius to the people who believed him to be the spy. To have killed his best friends. The fact that he was never given a chance to explain himself and was just locked up; he’s feeling a lot of resentment. Sirius wants to know why on earth they care so much about it when he was “suppoedly” the one to have destroyed everything. Why is the focus on him? Why aren’t they focused on James or Lily or Marlene or Dorcas or the people who died in the war? If he’s dead to them, then why do they act like he exists?
The bridge is him towards Regulus. Regulus died, for reasons that Sirius will probably never know. He talks to the Regulus star, because it’s all he has left, even though he left him years ago. He probably wonders if Regulus saved himself from ending up like Sirius. He probably wonders if Regulus was right. Not about pureblood supremacy, but about keeping quiet and leaving it be.
I think the last chorus is Sirius towards Peter. Throwing Sirius under the bus will only disadvantage Peter in the long run. Why would you willingly stay a rat for 13 years?
"I'm a mirrorball. I can change everything about me to fit in. You are not like the regulars. The masquerade revelers. Drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten."
mirrorball
Mirrorball was a little tricky at first cause it's just kind of ✨ominous manipulation✨ to be quite honest and at first, I think Mo was thinking Sirius? But then I kind of looked deeper into the lyrics that I listed above and was like "Hear me out… It's Peter's internal monologue convincing himself into becoming a death eater." and we were both like "Woah."
seven
"Sweet tea in the summer, cross my heart won't tell no other."
So, I think we can all come to the agreement that from the bridge to the end of the song, it's James talking to Sirius. This kind of pure, compassionate, and beautiful friendship is such a special part of this fandom. They had such a special bond and I think that they're basically the definition of "Chosen Family."
However, the more I think about it, I think that everything from before the bridge is incredibly Regulus and Pandora coded. The difference between the Black Brother's closest friendships and how that kind of influenced their decisions. James gave Sirius a safe space, whereas Pandora was Regulus's safe space. Do you understand what I'm getting at?
august
So, I haven’t read ATYD but I know the basic concept of who Grant Chapman is and what he did and all that, and Mo was very insistent on this song being Grant, and I completely agree.
“So much for summer love and saying “us,” cause you weren’t mine to lose.”
Grant was a stand-in for Sirius in some way. I think both he and Remus knew that, but Grant fell for Remus, he couldn’t help it! And he knew Remus loved him, but he wasn’t Sirius and he’d never be Sirius. But that doesn’t make it any less bittersweet for Grant, knowing that Remus is happier off with Sirius. In the same way that Jegulus was necessary for James’s character growth, Grant was necessary for Remus’s.
this is me trying
So I was certain this was Black Brothers and Mo was certain this was Regulus, so I’m gonna mix them. In the bridge specifically, I can see Regulus longing for Sirius after he left. The parties? The weird pureblood cult meetings his family had. It was hard for Regulus to even walk around their house because it was not the same without Sirius. The “one screen in his town” is Sirius being Regulus’s only escape. (Cause you watch movies on a screen? And movies tend to be an escape from reality? Look at me. I’m smart). And Regulus is also struggling with this internal battle because if he leaves, he’ll put himself and Sirius in danger, but if he stays, he’ll have to do things he knows deep down in his heart he doesn’t want to do. This is him trying.
“And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound. It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you. You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town.”
“It's born from just one single glance. But it dies and it dies and it dies a million little times.”
illicit affairs
Okay, before I get into this song, I want to clarify that we’re not implying that any of these characters were unfaithful.
There’s a difference between an affair (long- term cheating) and an affair (a pastime experience). I’m not the kind of person to promote cheating or adultery in my stories, because I think it’s such a frustrating topic to discuss. I wouldn’t ship people who went out of their way to hurt their partners. That being said, the word “affair” here is being used in the same way the words “event” or “incident” would. Obviously the word “illicit” means forbidden, so our interpretation of “illicit affairs” is just a “secret relationship.”
I think you might understand who I’m getting at here… if you guessed Jegulus, you’d be correct! James and Regulus were a secret, but not in the way you think. Their friends knew, Sirius knew, James’s parents probably knew, but Regulus’s family could not know. No one outside of their circle could know. (Reminds me of another Taylor Swift lyric. “You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath.” James kept Regulus as a secret, only because Regulus wanted him to, but Regulus held on to James like he was his life support). It was almost as if they were having an affair, and like most affairs, they die.
Also, the bridge; lets discuss.
The first part of the bridge is James to Regulus. James was a mess after leaving Regulus because he couldn’t fix him. He couldn’t help him. (Well actually, he might’ve been able to but he left when Regulus needed him the most so-) The “colors” that Regulus showed him were 1: that the world isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, 2: that James cannot fix everything, and 3: the maturity that James gained from their relationship.
“And you wanna scream don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby.” Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me. You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else.”
Again, Regulus was ripped to shreds after their break up, and he made some really foolish choices afterwards. The so-called “secret language” that James taught him, was vulnerability. Sure, he can talk about things with Barty or Evan, but with James he wasn’t expected to pull himself together. He could just exist with James and everything would be fine. Until it wasn’t.
“Don't call me "kid," don't call me "baby.” Look at this idiotic fool that you made me. You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else.”
“A string that pulled me. Out of all the wrong arms right into that dive bar. Something wrapped all of my past mistakes in barbed wire. Chains around my demons, wool to brave the seasons. One single thread of gold tied me to you”
invisble string
This one was tough, because there are so many couples that start out as these wholesome, pure, lovely relationships, but we quickly vetoed most of them.
Wolfstar: This song is literally about the concept of destiny and fate, and although Sirius and Remus were quite literally meant to be together, destiny kept pulling them apart.
Jily: I guess Jily are also quite literally the definition of fate, considering their matching patroni, the prophecy, etc. But Jily is also quite literally the definition of slow-burn, so again, this song doesn’t fit them.
Rosekiller: I guess you could argue they were fate, but they’re way too angsty.
Dorlene: Again, soulmates but way too angsty + they were rivals at the start.
This is where I came to the realization that every single couple in this fandom ends in tragic death… but then I thought about it some more.
Xenophilius and Pandora- JUST LET ME FINISH.
Yes, I am well aware that Pandora dies, but from what we know in canon, it was a freak accident. She wasn’t murdered like Marlene, Dorcas, the Potters, technically Evan, and Sirius (Yes, even if Sirius hadn’t fallen into the veil, he would’ve died). She didn’t risk her life like Regulus and Remus. She wasn’t driven to insanity like the Longbottoms and Barty (by the dementors kiss) She was experimenting, something she loved to do. She probably died happy for all we know!
I also think Pandora was probably esoteric (she believed in crystals, chakras, astrology, etc), so I think she also might’ve believed in fate. And considering the fact that Xenophilius and her relationship was so perfect, they probably were fate. They were classic friends to lovers, and they had the happiest ending out of all the marauders. Pandora was able to raise her daughter until she was nine, more than Lily and James ever got to do, and Xenophilius continued to raise Luna even after she died. (Yes, I’m aware he technically betrayed Harry, however we know he was a good person at heart and that prior to the Battle of Hogwarts, he openly supported Harry. The death eaters had kidnapped his daughter, I honestly don’t blame him that much.
Oh and also, Xenophilius was probably her only friend during her 7th year, considering 1: the older marauders had all graduated and 2: the pantheon’s falling out, so that’s why I used the lyrics I chose!
mad woman
For Mo, this song is blatantly Pandora, and for me it’s Dorcas. But, (again) it’s been a while since we discussed this, so I have a new narrative I’d like to propose to you. (Because we both had the same concept, just different characters.)
“Does a scorpion sting when fighting back? They strike to kill and you know I will.”
It’s both of them, from the perspective of Barty, Evan, and Regulus. They call them “mad women” because they don’t agree with their pureblood ideologies and want to be death eaters. The lyric “Everytime you call me crazy, I get more crazy,” feels like something Evan would think after all his fights with his sister. The lyric “It’s obvious that wanting me dead has really brought you two together,” seems like something Regulus would think. Obviously, I don’t think Pandora and Dorcas wanted him dead (considering the fact that Pandora definitely checked in on Regulus from time to time), but they wanted the bad part of him gone. And since they both left the rest of the Pantheon, that would’ve resulted in them growing closer.
And I guess in a way, they both went mad, but it’s up to your imagination. Dorcas went mad because she literally tried to go after the people who killed her girlfriend. And Pandora went mad because (if you headcanon this) she died trying to help Regulus destroy a horcrux.
If there was a song that played during a slow-motion montage of October 31st, 1981 the second Sirius finds out about the death and rushes over to the Potters, this would be it. It’s Sirius seeing his best friends lifeless body. The lyrics “With you I serve, with you I fall down,” symbolizes the way that when James “fell” (died), Sirius also “fell,” (falsely-accused) and even though it was unintentional, they went down together. Sirius felt like it was his fault. He switched the secret keeper and if only he’d trusted Remus enough, maybe it wouldn’t have happened.
Epiphany
“And some things you just can't speak about.”
"In the garden, would you trust me if I told you it was just a summer thing? I'm only 17, I don't know anything, but I know I miss you."
betty
Again, I'm using the concept of the "affair" love story in folklore as instead the story of a secret relationship, so no adultery was committed in the making of this post. 💀
Basically, I think this song is James's guilt when he's falling for Lily all over again, but he's still not completely over Regulus. (Of course, he and Regulus are dead and gone at this point, but it still lingers).
It's him thinking through what he would tell Lily if she ever asked him if he still loved Regulus. (I don't think Lily would've cared personally, lol).
Also in my mind I think this song has to be from James's perspective, solely because of the lyric "She said "James get in!" (I'm now literally realizing that that line is mentioning how he fell into the affair… well that ruins everything… scrap that idea).
Regulus and him were kind of an affair in the way that it was never meant to last. And also, while James may not have had feelings for Lily at that very moment, it was obvious that James was in love with both Regulus and Lily. (Again- no cheating).
I don't know, Betty's kind of a tough one.
peace
This song is about Jily. Lily finding peace in the friendship she has with James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Marlene, Mary, everyone now that she's away from Severus. But she also knows there will never fully be peace with them, because of her blood status.
"Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other. Family I chose now that I see your brother as my brother."
And she wants to know if she's enough for James, even though she knows he's knee deep in love with her, but she gets worried because what if they die? What if they don't get to live the life they'd always dreamed of living? No matter how wonderful their life may seem together, she knows that there's always darkness around the corner, and she wonders if it's because of her.
hoax
This song is how Remus feels knowing that the person he trusted the most in life with his deepest and darkest secrets was supposedly worthy of commiting a crime just as dark. That's it. Don't have much else to say here 😭
"You knew it still hurts underneath my scars when they pulled me apart but what you did was just as dark."
the lakes
If this song isn't Regulus Black, then we don't know what is.
"Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die."

Okay wow that was a long one! If you made it this far, thank you!! Make sure to look out for Lover, coming soon to a theater near you!!!
