Curate, connect, and discover
I decided to reread one of my favorite books from like...sophomore year of high school (?) and now my brains broken
I'm obsessed with the idea of sunrose because james is a bully who acts all righteous (unless he's bullying snape — in his mind it doesn't count), he feels like he has to pretend he's guilty
and james is a bit scared of the side of him that feels no guilt over everything he does, it all feels like an act
and then he meets barty who actively encourages anything that he does because he's just as bad as james is
and james swears he's in love with lily but then why is he so obsessed with this slytherin boy who makes him feel free
everything barty encourages is morally wrong and james realises that he needs to shut it down so he breaks it off, joins the order and proposes to lily while barty, fueled with rage from the breakup (and his father) joins the death eaters to release all of the built up rage and anger
sunrose, guys. we need more fics and fanart.
