I’m currently imagining Barty refusing to sleep for like a week straight because he’s so stressed about studying for his OWLs and stuff. And then one day he finally falls asleep on Evan’s lap in the common room. And Evan is so thankful because Barty’s finally asleep and getting the rest he needs, and so Evan full on glares at anyone new who comes in until they either scurry up to their dorms or they get the hint to stay quiet.
popping back in for a couple seconds, because I am obsessed with these two throwaway characters from the last new year's bit. I need to know more about this fancy overdramatic theater kid and IT nerdling's more-likely-than-you'd-think friendship.
(brb, building an entire mental headcanon around these random characters who will literally never appear again. they have a whole sitcom together...in my heart.)
This fic is soooooooo good
Finding Solace in Parking Lots
This but romantically
Or
Sokka and Zuko keep meeting in a McDonald's parking lot and bond through their mutual breakdowns. Turns out, it's easy to spill your heart to a stranger in the middle of the night and create a bond that lasts even in the daylight.
"I love you , I'm glad we're friends"
Hear me out-
The marauders never knew just how batshit crazy the skittles were. They had only heard some rumors but never truly saw their antics, I mean sure they had heard that one of them had set the lab on fire, or the other slept with half the school, or even that they poisoned slug horn. Yet never the fights, the weed, the insane things that thy consider normal. Especially Sirius, he expected his goody two shoes brother's friends to be pretentious assholes.
Cut to when jegulus started dating, the two friend groups started to interact, and that's when they saw how crazy they were. It started as everyone was sitting in the Slytherin common room, then out of nowhere barges on barty and Pandora cackling while running away from something, that's when Evan who was standing closest to the door quickly shut it with a shit eating grin. Regulus let out an exasperated sigh and then Dorcas with a subtle smirk "what'd you two do this time?" And with the most terrifying grin Pandora, sweet, sweet Pandora said in the most soft voice "we jinxed Snape then we lit the classroom on fire" Regulus then just smiled and said "awww thank guys you didn't have to" in the most sarcastic tone despite his smile.
Yeah, that was another thing about the skittles, they were OVERprotective, those guys would kill for each other if the occasion arise. The marauders saw a lot of their antics, from laughing as thy jinx or curse someone, to smoking weed in the perfect's room and playing tag (ON THE EDGE OF THE ASTRONOMY TOWER) but what tops the disastrous cake is when they saw just to which extent their cruelty reaches.
It started with a commotion in the halls, Remus was the first to arrive, then Sirius, and oh was he shocked. He saw his little cousin, HIS LITTLE COUSIN narcissa being hugged by Pandora, while barty absolutely beats the living shit out of Mulciber and Lucius. He looked manic, nose and lip bleeding, but he had this crazed look in his eyes, and a grin of pure evil. All while Evan is smirking at him and Regulus and Dorcas apply healing charms on Mulciber and Lucius so they wouldn't pass out. They were all laughing, Regulus. Was. Laughing. Maniacally. Then narcissa comes up to Regulus and whispers something in his ear. "That's enough barty" he then says. Barty, the fucking maniac seems reluctant to back off until Evan quite literally pulls him off and throws him over his shoulder. Regulus walks menacingly towards the two assholes on the floor, "I'll say this once and once only, you talk like that about my cousin or touch her without her consent one more time and we'll cut you tiny dicks off to shove them so far down your throats till they come out your ass with your shitty personality, got it? " they just nod while the deemed "skittles" saunder off.
Sirius wanted to rip his hair out, james was beyond turned on, Peter looked traumatized while lily was chuckling and Remus looked amused.
Another incident was when both groups were sitting together and a Raven claw came up to then. He was eyeing lily and Dorcas weirdly. "Hey ladies, how about you and I leave those losers alone and have some fun? " they looked beyond uncomfortable, "no thanks mate we're not into that." The guy frowned "I promise you won't regret it, I've got a way with girls". " look pal, they said they weren't interested " snarled barty. "Says the person who slept with half the school, shut up whor-" before he even finishes, he was on the floor, a livid Evan looming over him. "Fucking scum, let's leave"
It took about a week and a half of James and Regulus dating before the marauders realized how fucking batshit crazy they were.
Perciver where percy and oliver are podcast presenters on a show where people ask them for relationship (romantic, non romantic or sexual) advice. They are best friends and their listeners marvel at how different they are with oliver being a retired quidditch player and percy a ministry worker.
They are very adamant about being just friends. But one day Percy is checking their tag on tiktok and finds a compilation named “times oliver looked at Percy lovingly” and falls into a rabbit hole that affects the way he sees his best friend.
Also, this is an excuse to imagine the kind of advice perciver would give. I imagine Percy giving the smart recommendations and oliver being a little crazy, but in certain cases percy would propose something absolutely crazy.
Like, “I was stalking my ex in my new boyfriend’s account and i liked one of their posts” and percy would be like “well, speak with your boyfriend”
But in other cases it would be like “my brother pranks me all the time and i want him to stop, ¿what should i do?” And percy would be like “prank them back, i recommend you to shrink all his clothes” and Oliver being like “well… that’s not a good idea” 😂
I think the differences can be summed up like this.
Hermes knew Luke hated him so he ignored him and turned his attention elsewhere
Poseidon knew Percy hated him so he put as much effort into showing he cares as possible
Athena knew Annabeth lover her so she held that love over her head
