I needed to represent this moment because I think we don’t talk enough about how heartbreaking this night was for Lupin.
That night, the wounds of the war reopened. His world crumbled at his feet, and everything he believed to be true turned out to be a lie. For the first time in 12 years, he could see everything with clarity… and that clarity didn’t bring peace, only pain. He started thinking about how this would change his world entirely. He felt like *he* was the traitor—for not trusting his heart sooner.
For years, he lived with guilt, loss, and isolation, thinking he had already endured the worst. But learning the truth pulled the ground from under him. He didn’t just lose James, Lily, Peter and Sirius—he lost his trust in himself. And now, seeing it all clearly, he’s left with nothing but regret and the quiet ache of betrayal—toward his friends, and toward his own soul.
And this is all my heart and thoughts into this piece, love you 💗🫂 hope you like it ✨
propaganda i'm not falling for:
straight remus lupin
the MCD tag on ao3
kittywater
lily evans hate
the marauders hated peter
dumb sirius black
halloween 1981
the new hbo tv show
james cheating on lily
straight marlene mckinnon
I like the second one though 💫
I love that the marauders fandom wildly swings back and forth between “James knew that Sirius and Remus were in love and tried to set them up years before they figured it out themselves” and “James is an oblivious third wheel who could see the two kissing and think awww they’re such great friends”
James and regulus would fight over who's sweater lily should wear, a her just wearing one of Remus' to piss them
my favorite version of "sirius finding out about jegulus" is when sirius is worried james (who he views as the straightest person on earth) sees regulus as a girl only to find out that james affirms regulus's identity more than anyone. especially if it involves james and sirius rescuing regulus from grimmauld, and especially especially if this rescue involves sirius and james seeing regulus in a ballgown. what can i say, i have very specific tastes
Regulus black fell first but James potter fell harder and I will be taking zero criticism
"are you still crying over fictional charat-" SHUT UP YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THEY BOTH DIED THINKING THEIR BROTHER HATED THEM
Effie Potter goes to Pride wearing 'Free Mom Hugs' shirts.
btw wolfstar dates consist of them making james come along & then james makes peter come along. wolfstar are rarely actually alone.
Evan: I love you, I really do, but we can't date Barty: What? Why? Evan: Because what happens if we break up? Barty: ... Barty: ! Barty: Who gets Regulus in the divorce?! Evan: Exactly!
honestly love being in the marauders fandom, there are so many talented creators, especially fic writers. like i read popular fics from another fandom, and it just does not hit as hard as the masterpieces yall create over here. other ppl are getting emotional over stuff, and i don’t even bat an eye bc of the absolute tragedies the marauders have put me thru.
