[hokeytheelf]

Hi! I dont have a youtube account but I saw your tumblr linked under your youtube vid of Marlene & Sirius and came here to say say I absolutely adore you edits you've made! I personally love Samara as the fancast and your edits are so well done! They are really amazing, the music, the way you chose and edited scenes, I can feel the chemistry from the edits and I think you are a really talented!!❤️️❤️️

I know a took a while to answer (really sorry!), but messages like these are so special to me. To know that people still love Blackinnon is amazing. Thank you for liking the video (that was the best fanvid I made honestly), I had a blast making it. I wanted to make more of course, but I'm so busy nowadays that I don't know when I'll find the time. Don't worry, I'm still crazy in love with Blackinnon, and I actually have a few things on the work right now. I'm so sorry for not being more active, especially when there's only a few of us left here, and only a few to begin with: So to make it up to all the Blackinnon shippers out there, and to the lovely person who left me that bit of message, I will dig up some of my early fanvid of Blackinnon. This is back when I was still figuring out how to edit and matching up actors together to test the vibes. After making this vid, I decided that Samara and Ben are perfect for Blackinnon.

But for now enjoy this poorly made fanvid of Blackinnon from years ago!

For those of you who are unfamiliar of my other video (the better one, which I'm more proud of), click this link

[hokeytheelf]

One foggy morning, when Sirius was going to a very dangerous mission for the Order in a cold and desolated place, Marlene gave him her Gryffindor scarf, hoping he would get it back to her very, very soon.

[hokeytheelf]

Do you have any Blackinnon fics where there's a love triangle with Marlene, Sirius and Regulus? I prefer one shot than unfinished work. I just love them so much and I wanted to see them from a different angle xoxo

Note: Funny thing, anon. I actually wrote a fic about this long ago! You just gave me a reason to share it. For more fics, look up my writings here and my favourite fics masterlist here. Thank you!

The Two Times Regulus was Ahead of Sirius

(read on AO3)

Summary: Sirius Black was always ahead of Regulus, except the two times he wasn't. It all comes down to the war and a certain blonde.

Pairing: Sirius Black/ Marlene McKinnon/ Regulus Black

Sirius was always ahead of Regulus. He was the first one to get into Hogwarts, he was the first one to learn how to perform a spell, and he was the first one to be whacked in the head by their mother. Regulus spent all his life trying to be better than him. The year Sirius got into Hogwarts, he was sorted to Gryffindor. Their parents were furious, they'd given him no Christmas gifts at all since then. The year Regulus got into Hogwarts, he was sorted into Slytherin and he was given a brand new broom by their parents. Maybe this was his first time being ahead of his older brother, but he was wrong. Sirius got his broom last year from his friends, he had hidden it. The way Regulus found out was simply surprising. His brother had joined the Gryffindor Quidditch Team and he was zooming around the Quidditch pitch with his then-a-year-old broom. And it’s not even fair considering Regulus is a year younger, he couldn’t even join the Slytherin Team. Sirius had yet again beaten him. Sirius was brave first, long before Regulus realized he should be brave. Sirius fought against Voldemort and Regulus became a Death Eater. And even though Regulus came to change his mind in the future, Sirius fought against Voldemort first.

Sirius was always ahead of Regulus, except the two times he wasn't.

Regulus caught sight of her first. He remembered it now that he looked back. Yes, that’s right. Marlene McKinnon had caught his eyes first. Marlene and Regulus were in the same year at Hogwarts, he shared classes with her sometimes. She was a pure-blood like him and Sirius, and she was a Gryffindor like Sirius. Regulus started to fancy her in their second year. He always noticed when she was in the room, and she was the prettiest girl he had ever seen. Regulus and Marlene knew each other. They had a friendly banter throughout the years, but that is all.

Regulus asked her out to the Valentine dance in their fourth year. Weirdly enough, most of his friends approved, even jealous. Marlene was a pureblood Gryffindor, but she never hung out around muggle-borns. That was enough for Regulus’s friends and it is certainly more than enough for Regulus.

In 1976, Sirius ran away. Their mother had been furious and doubled her attention to Regulus instead. Now the pressure had been put onto him, and it was all Sirius’s fault.

Regulus fancied Marlene first before Sirius started staring at her all the time. Regulus noticed because he paid attention to both of them, Sirius and Marlene. Sirius stared at her a lot now. But it would only be for another year, and then Sirius could piss off and forget about Marlene. Hopefully quicker than the time Sirius had forgotten about him.

When in Regulus’s seventh year, Sirius had graduated. It is also around this time that Regulus and Marlene talked more than ever, strolling around the Hogwarts grounds. One day they talked about something that turned into politics, and Marlene figured out what Regulus’s opinions are about the war. Ever since then, Regulus and Marlene drifted apart, he didn't know why at the time. Regulus sent her a letter one day after graduation, but she didn’t reply.

Regulus never forgot Marlene, he was the only girl he had ever cared for. He had given up on writing her letters now, and he was ready to be a full-time Death Eater. Regulus was sure of his choices. He fought for Voldemort because in his head that was the only thing to do. He felt like a soldier.

On one snowy night, Regulus fought against Dumbledore’s minions. Then he recognized her. She didn’t recognize him because he was wearing a mask. But Marlene was still pretty, if not prettier. He had stopped for a moment before a jab of light missed him by a fraction. Wilkes screamed out “Fall Back!”, then all the other Death Eaters disapparated. But Regulus stayed for a second just to see her golden curls swaying. Then Regulus heard his brothers’ voice, “Yes! Fall back you cowards, away with you!”, followed by Marlene’s laughter. He missed his brothers’ voice but he couldn't help but feel terrible when he heard it. Regulus held his wand tightly, cowered away, and disappeared.

Regulus liked to drink away his fears and so did Sirius. After that little meeting they had, Regulus came into the bar Sirius loved. He stalked him sometimes, Sirius never noticed because he was too drunk. Sirius drank on the weekends, sometimes accompanied by James Potter and the others. But on the third weekend, Regulus saw him with Marlene McKinnon. Her lips were slightly bleeding but she was smiling nonetheless. Sirius never dated, Regulus knew this for a fact. Marlene had dated a few blokes, but they never last more than two weeks, much to Regulus’s liking. Sirius and Marlene were having a drink together and she had laughed at something he had said. Regulus felt this feeling in his gut, maybe jealousy or perhaps a great deal of defeat.

After that night, Regulus tried to forget Marlene McKinnon because he knew Sirius was after her too. Regulus always lost against Sirius, Regulus was always one step behind. But he can’t seem to forget about Marlene McKinnon no matter how hard he tried. It did feel good thinking about her, thinking that he liked her first. He liked her before Sirius liked her. He memorized her name before Sirius even knew her. He danced with her once, they were friends. Were.

That was his first time being one step ahead of his brother. However, for the first time in his life, he felt like he didn’t want to be the first. He wanted to be Marlene's last.

No matter. Now he had something more important to worry about, it was the only way to redeem himself. It’s the only way to make him feel good. Regulus looked down to the locket in his hand, a note was hidden inside it. Regulus was at last on his right mind and he was sure of it, Sirius would’ve done the same.

This is the second time he would be one step ahead of his brother. He was going to die for the war before Sirius, for the good side, for the right side. He was going to die first.

The Ultimate Blackinnon Masterlist

click here for my writing's masterlist.

After digging endlessly through thousands of Blackinnon fics, I'm giving you a big fat list of Blackinnon recommendations that are posted throughout FF.net and AO3.

ʷⁱˡˡ ᵖʳᵒᵇᵃᵇˡʸ ᵏᵉᵉᵖ ᵃᵈᵈⁱⁿᵍ ˢᵗᵘᶠᶠ⁻ I still have many more saved up. Perhaps I'll make another one in the future.

🔸 for multi-chapter 😢 for "i cried"

Thank you for the recommendations, I haven't read all but I'll include your picks at the bottom

Sirius Black and the eleven times he fell in love with Marlene McKinnon by VellaNikola 🔸🥈😢 | AO3

Summary: By the time he realized what he was feeling, he already knew of eleven distinctive events that led him to feel the way he did.

“Why do you hate me, McKinnon?” he whined.

She laughed at him with that familiar tone he hadn’t heard in far too long and she smiled in that way that so few had ever seen. “Someone’s got to keep you in check.”

6 Years by HopeRomance | FF

Summary: In 1975 it starts with sideways glances and tiny smiles... A chronicle of the six years (and then some) of Sirius Black and Marlene Mckinnon's relationship.

She's new to the Quidditch team and he thinks it's going to be a disaster. She's all blonde curls and sparkling eyes and wide smiles-not at all fit for such a physical sport. But he's never seen her fly.

Stray Thought 😢 by lyin | FF

When he looked out of the corner of his eye, sometimes he still saw her waiting for him... Marlene McKinnon & Sirius Black, who never had a girlfriend- he had a motorcycle instead.

But once in a blue-grey moon, when he was not so alone, before Azkaban, and then on nights when his heart wasn't drumming out that James and Lily were dead, dead, dead to the tune of his latest mistake, when he felt like going out for a drink and kissing a girl he didn't love until they were both dizzy and breathless, he would have an old stray thought of Marlene McKinnon.

Free by Waterlily23 | AO3

This one is short but I fell in love with it the first time I read it.

Marlene McKinnon and Sirius Black were many things but most of all they were free.

An Outsiders Perspective by Waterlily23 | AO3

You see them, Marlene McKinnon and Sirius Black. A view of the two trouble makers from an outsider's perspective.

You see her bring out a pack of cigarettes put one between her lips, light it before passing the packet to him who does the same thing.

The Last of Us by PadnProng 🔸 🥇 | AO3

This is one of my favourites of all time, and that's saying a lot. Slow. Sirius's character is spot on. Not completed but 100 percent worth the read. Not centered around blackinnon relationship, more on the war but it's still there and it's very very strong.

“Alright,” said Marlene, after only a moment of consideration. “How about you kiss me?” she suggested.

Sirius’ eyes grew wide, suddenly choking on his own saliva. He didn’t quite expect her to handle it like that.“Wh-what?...” he stammered, at a loss for words possibly for the first time in his life.

“Huh,” Marlene remarked, tossing her head to the side. “I thought you would have been a lot smoother than that.”

Sirius's 10 Rules (or Pillow Talk) by haeliestorm | AO3

Summary: Lily has always liked to reprimand Sirius when he broke school rules. When she finds out he has his own rules (and has broken many of those too) she just finds it funny.

He really couldn't work out why he kept letting this happen. He was sleeping with one of his good friends, and this wasn't even the only time. It was the third. Why? Perhaps because you really enjoy it, and really like that it's with her, said a small voice in his head.

Falling Apart by Gwaeros | FF

Because Sirius Black understands.

Because they aren’t just Sirius and Marlene, the unbreakable, they are people too, but nobody realises the truth, nobody realises that they’ve been broken all along.

What Are You Doing? by aejaycee | AO3

There are times where Sirius could just lean in...

"Do I make you nervous?" Marlene teased, noticing the way he stiffened uncomfortably now that they were so close. They'd been careful not to let this happen. They knew, even then, that something was changing.

Ephemeral Tallies, Sempiternal Scars by (orphanacc) | AO3

Soulmate AU: AU in which every time a person falls in love, a red line like a tally mark shows up on their wrist. When their love becomes requited, the tally will become black, and when their loved one dies, the tally becomes a scar.

Sirius had no tallies. It wasn’t particularly shocking—he didn’t let himself love easily. But, he must admit, compared to the rest of his friends, his bare wrist looked lonely next to Remus’ one, James’ two, and Peter’s three.

thunderstorms by honeyspeaches | AO3

Summary: and he thinks, this girl is a thunderstorm, wild and deadly and far too easy to love

Sirius Black is not to be trusted, she tells herself in the month that follows. Marlene McKinnon is positively mental, he tells himself in turn.

Grass is weirdly itchy by livy_bear | AO3

This is a simple and short one-shot. All fluff :).

There are few things that are absolutely certain in the world: the sun is warm; grass is weirdly itchy; winter is the best season for cuddling; and Sirius loved waking up and seeing Marlene asleep next to him.

Guilty Pleasure by rachhudson | FF

I like how subtle Sirius is in this fic.

Every night, without fail, she was there, with her friends, by the fire. And every night, without fail, Sirius watched her from the Marauders' favorite table across the room in the corner.

Those are the days he lives for 😢 by kingslayers | FF

No dialogue. One-shot. Amazing.

Some days, she lets herself love him. (she doesn't know it, but those are the days he lives for)

Acrophobia by Budapest_All_Over_Again | AO3

Marlene loves his motorcycle. Or maybe she just loves him

She gave his middle a squeeze, determined to not fall off. He laughed, a rough bark.

Happy Memory by mckinnon-m | FF

They took her, the only thing that was worth fighting for.

And Sirius Black knew that, when Marlene McKinnon left, she took his heart with her.

Haunted by polverine 😢 (@sisforsammi) | AO3

This is heartbreaking I teared up. Also, she has a lot of Marauders content that includes blackinnon. So, check her out!

Summary: In the days before his death, Sirius can see Marlene.

It was the kitchen this time. He’d been just about to pour himself a drink, when there she was, standing at the other end of the long table.

Not Really, and that’s important by Paige_Marie | AO3

Blackinnon is minor in this one but I like how complex Sirius feels and how vulnerable he sounds.

Sirius never had a home, not really. Sirius had a house but not a home and that's important.

Favourite things by Siriusly_McKinnon | AO3

Sirius and Marlene enjoy the sunshine

‘Are you going to keep staring at me or are you going to lie down and enjoy the sun’ she stage whispered, startling him out of his own thoughts.

‘Can’t help it when I’ve got something so lovely to look at McKinnon’ he replied grinning.

of war and unintended sacrifices by kingslayers | FF

Sirius and Marlene talking about the war. Less romance, more serious.

"James thinks it'll be worth it," he mutters.

"James is in love," she says sadly. "He has to think that because he's bringing a child into this. You couldn't live with yourself if you didn't believe that."

Chill my bones by percychased | FF

Another short one

Usually he'd say "Good luck with that," with a flirtatious wink and walk away, but he found himself distracted with his newfound knowledge - James was right. Maybe he did fancy Marlene, just a little bit.

The Storm and Water by marauders.padfootsb | FF

Summary: Marlene was always scared of storms, while Sirius was always scared of water.

Whenever someone asked Sirius where his favorite place to swim was, he always said, "The ocean." But really, he'd love to say, "Marlene McKinnon's eyes.

Firewhisky Façade by Megsy42 | FF

Short. No dialogue. Beautiful.

Marlene McKinnon liked to think she was brave, but when it came to Sirius Black, perhaps she feared everything.

Not Forever by accioremote7 | FF

This is the stereotype of Blackinnon but I kinda like it

He pretended not to care, not to give a shit, because that was who he was. And though he would deny it to everyone, he found himself wanting, longing, wishing to feel her touch again.

Caution by silversailorganymede | FF

Beautiful One-shot.

No, Sirius Black was not the type to think before he acted – except where it came to Marlene McKinnon, though some people wouldn't have called that thinking at all.

Marlene's Last Day 🥉 😢 by My Little Big Blue Box | FF

Attention! This is the first fic I read about Blackinnon and look at me now. This is how I get here. This is good. just read it. Please.

Summary: Sirius gets drunk and finally admits that Marlene was never just a fling but so much more. Unfortunately, he can't see into the future and doesn't know of the tragedy just hours away.

Just before locking it shut, she heard Sirius 'whoop!' loudly and a crack sounded after, signaling he was gone, leaving Marlene to smile like a teenager all by herself.

the stars that fill polluted skies by iliads | FF

Marlene and Sirius having a conversation.

You're fucked up, Marlene."

"I know," she says, "but you are too, so it's okay. Right?"

Dysfunctional Beauty by Waterlily23 | AO3

So here we are we made something so beautiful and so dysfunctional

Marlene McKinnon and Sirius Black were heartbreakingly gorgeous, with his aristocratic face and deep grey eyes, and her long blonde hair that fell oh so perfectly. They were devastatingly gorgeous, too beautiful. It just couldn’t last.

Starry-Eyed by smallpaperstars | FF

Told from a unique point of view, this tale explores the ill-starred romance of Sirius Black and Marlene McKinnon.

After a while, he laughed. "If only Marlene could see me now," he said. "She always swore I'd end up in prison." Then he went to sleep. I could have used his swearwords myself. I needed to hear this story about whoever Marlene was. It felt important.

The dead girl's smile by she'sasiriusriot | FF

and while they describe this unknown stranger he is simply jealous of the dead.

He swallows and starts, "Marlene Mckinnon was definitely not perfect," he can almost see her, shaking her head beside Emmeline, berating him for insulting her at 'her party'. He shakes his head ruefully, "but i think i might have loved her."

Knight in Distress, Damsel in Shining Armour by Ralinde |FF

In which Marlene saved Sirius.

"Fine," she gave in. "Next time, you get to be the knight in shining armour and you can come rescue me and sweep me off on your horse."

He knew she was making fun of him and he didn't want to disturb the light atmosphere between them, so he joined in on her joke. "Nah, I think I'm more of a knight on a shiny motorcycle."

Like the Storybooks by @matrixaffiliate & EnthusiasticSloth 🔸 | AO3

Royalty AU. I loved this one so much. Authors have other blackinnon stories you should deffo check out.

“But,” he stood and her arms returned around his neck, “honor… virtue…other concepts such as those?” This was like the pull that Sir Lancelot felt to Guinevere. In some stories, he maintained her honor, but in all of them, it was his ruination.

@matrixaffiliate has A LOT of blackinnon AU and fics. Although Like the Storybooks is my fav, I encourage you to check out all of her works in her masterlist here. The popular ones are Saudade, A twist of Fate, and my other personal fav, Glimpsing Happiness.

That Night by Potterheademx | FF

Sirius is being questioned about that night, but he can't seem to speak the truth.

That night, he had been with her. By her grave. Clearing out the growing debris and laying fresh, new poppies, her favourite, at her resting place.

We all fall down by livesonacloudinthesky | FF

Sirius and Marlene fought after a mission.

"Oi, McKinnon, nice of you to return after all. A really fucking, amazing idea of yours, to just bloody leave me alone in the warehouse, leaving me to explain the mess you created."

Memories by bookworm42x | FF

In his cold, dank prison cell, Sirius remembers the only girl he ever loved. Oneshot.

She yells out: "Long live Gideon and Fabian!", and whispers softly in Sirius's ear, "And long live Sirius Black and Marlene McKinnon."

Blasphemy by Anon | AO3

A little out of character in Sirius's part but cute!

Summary: During Saturday’s Quidditch match against Ravenclaw, three things happen in rapid succession: Sirius almost gets killed by a Bludger, Marlene McKinnon pulls off a spectacular Hairpin Turn and saves his life, and Sirius realizes that okay, holy shit, he’s actually in love with her.

Except that ‘a couple more days’ turns into a week, which turns into two weeks, which slips into three weeks, and he still hasn’t talked to Marlene. And he’s still pretty sure he’s legitimately in love with her.

Parents’ worst nightmare by Sophieofwinterfell | AO3

Summary: James and Marlene liked to go on and on about how they went way back, being childhood friends and all, and they did; but Sirius had a history with Marlene McKinnon too.

“Great. Wanna dance and show these old dinosaurs what it’s like to have a good time, Black?”

“Always, McKinnon. Always.”

5 Signs You’re In Love by sophieofwinterfell | AO3

Sirius should have never listened to Mary read them that stupid article from Witch Weekly Magazine... Or, 5 signs Sirius Black and Marlene McKinnon are in love with each other.

Number one. You can’t stop staring at them.

So what if Sirius looked at McKinnon a lot? It wasn’t as if he couldn’t stop whenever he wanted to, or as though he was being creepy about it. Besides, it wasn’t his fault McKinnon was always around… who was he going to stare at? Peter?

The Flowers Do Fade by not my daughter | FF

At Marlene McKinnon's funeral, Sirius reflects on glory, war, and the woman he might have loved.

When I think of you, I think of your Gryffindor scarf in those vibrant colors and that loud cheer you would have at Quidditch games, the way you snaked your arms around my neck to kiss me. I can't reconcile that, not really, with the whole serenity of this place. You were always active, always moving. I don't understand how you can be resting, even now.

The Beginning by He called Me Baby | FF

Just a little blackinnon and quidditch, normal settings, usual blackinnon stereotype. cute.

Summary: How the infamous Sirius Black met his match in Marlene McKinnon.

They stayed like this until finally, Marlene spoke, "You know what I don't get Black; why you think that only one can play that game?"

Broken by xTimorousBeastie | FF

It was only a matter of time before one of them broke, but they made sure to pack a lifetime in before then. Too bad happiness was never for them. Misery was.

They have escaped the world together more often than either of them could count but the one time she needed him as much as he needed her he was off falling back into his old routine and he cried over the casket where she lay all in white as pain akin to that he's never felt racked through his body.

Magic of Rain by loveislouder94 | FF

Very sappy/corny but we needed that sometimes, right?

Summary: Marlene caught Sirius's eye when he saw her dance in the rain, so carefree.

"You are some sort of angel," he tells her, and then he turns around and walks away before he adds something stupid like "and I think I might be falling in love with you." (It'd be a lie, though. He'd fallen in love with her long ago, now he's waiting for her to catch him.)

Move by Rainbow Dust | FF

Sirius's thoughts during Marlene's funeral

Lily says it's fitting. I don't think it fits at all. It doesn't fit you. Nothing about this day is fitting.

In Love and Death, We Don’t Decide by stonecoldhedwig 🔸| AO3

A very cute multi-chapter. Completed, which is very rare for a blackinnon fic.

“Black and I were very drunk,” she said cooly, avoiding Sirius’ gaze entirely. “It’s never going to happen again.”

“Must you wound me so when I’m so fragile, McKinnon?” Sirius feigned, clutching a hand to his chest. The group laughed, and Marlene finally met his dark eyes with her blue ones. She gave him a smile, more relaxed now, and tutted.

“You’ll live, I’m sure,” she said drolly.

What’s owed to them? By @bisexualsirius | AO3

With the war picking up around them, Marlene writes a letter to Sirius to read after her death. Sirius find it.

Marlene hoped that when he found the letter, he could walk down the hall and ask her about it. That she would be there to explain why she wrote it, and that would be the end of the matter. They would go to meet the others for lunch, and the war would be a thing of memory.

The universe owed them that much.

Rain by Rainbow Dust | FF

Tonks shows Sirius how her "morphing" works, but when she transforms into someone from Sirius' past that he just wants to forget, questions are awoken.

"Do you like it?" The girl in front of him smiled.

"Marlene?" Sirius managed up.

The girl raised her eyebrows. "It's me? Tonks?" she laughed.

Sight of the Sun by SiriusUntiltheVeryEnd | FF

Simple blackinnon fluff.

He handed her a cup of coffee, she looked down at it and beamed. "You know what I put in my coffee?"

"I sat next to you at breakfast for two years." He shrugged.

The light in the storm by jesatria7 🔸 | FF

Marlene and Sirius living their life. very simple multichapter. discontinued but worth a read.

He turned his attention back to Marlene's tattoo. The deep red and vibrant green stood out against her pale, cream-colored skin. She really did have beautiful skin. It contrasted nicely with her deep burgundy sheets.

"Are you watching me sleep?" she asked, startling him out of his thoughts.

Night Clubs and Neon Lights by cyriathestrange 🔸 | AO3

Disaster attracts disaster. Both notorious flirts and school letharios, Sirius Black and Marlene McKinnon have always steered clear of each other... because of subconscious warning bells that become all too clear when magnetism strikes -- the summer before their Seventh Year.

He remembered now, why he'd never seriously pursued her before. She— or perhaps they— had a particular magnetism that he realized now, he must have instinctively perceived and had thus steered clear. She was free and fun and independent in a way that was very ... frightening.

Why? He tried to inspect this fear and concluded that ... she felt out of his control.

Steam Engine by MischievousMessrs 🔸 | FF

This one is smutty so if you like that, give this one a go. The story is about how Marlene wants to make Sirius nicer towards Lily by bribing him with a snog.

That was how it continued for the rest of September. Sirius would be polite and get on with Evans, then at the end of the week, in a different location every time; he and Marlene would snog each other senseless. However, it was always her that initiated and it was always her that finished it. Every time Sirius left unsatisfied, getting more and more wound up and sexually frustrated and he couldn't tell whether he liked it or not. It was a new kind of thrill.

FREUDIAN SLIP

Fuck. He was so fucked.

Sirius hadn’t meant to say it. In fact, he wasn’t planning on saying any name at all; but he supposed the girl was kind of blonde, her eyes were kind of blue, and if he closed his eyes he could almost imagine she was… Fuck.

One of the few rules Sirius had set for himself was to never call out his conquests’ names, just in case he ended up saying the wrong one. Except this time he couldn’t help himself. Marlene McKinnon had been plaguing his thoughts for days, hell, for weeks. It was only to be expected that she’d ruin this for him too.

Every aspect of the carefully built persona he’d created over the years – the ladies’ man, the reckless heartbreaker, – every brick he used to build the walls around himself, and all it took to destroy everything was a well placed hurricane of a girl. And the worst, absolutely worst part of it, was that he didn’t mind it all that much. He could feel angry now, but the minute he saw her, the weight on his shoulders would unexplainably lighten. 

Sirius scoffed, rolling his eyes to his own thoughts and ignoring the curious looks he’d gathered from the other students in the Common Room. 

He almost sounded like James. Which, normally wouldn’t be that bad, but in this case, he almost sounded like James in love, which was very, very bad because Sirius Black didn’t fall in love.

The portrait opened then, letting in the rest of the Gryffindor Seventh Year class, including the bane of his existence herself. She strutted towards him, a smirk pulling at her red lips, blonde hair in disarray around her face. Marlene dropped down in the seat next to him, greeting him with a brush of her shoulder before turning to listen to James as he enthusiastically continued whatever story he was telling.

Sirius looked at her: her head thrown back in laughter, her eyes wrinkling at the corners, leg bouncing and hands clapping, unable to keep all of her enthusiasm inside. 

Fuck. He was so fucked.

[hokeytheelf]

I think I like this jealous Sirius.

Sturgis Podmore has a little crush on Marlene since she joined the order. It wasn't a terrible crush, it was just like he was intrigued. Sometimes he caught himself staring at her while she was talking to other people. Much like today.

"Marlene McKinnon?" a voice woke him up from his daydream. It was Sirius Black. The man was glancing between Sturgis and Marlene like he figured something out.

Sturgis gulped.

"I thought you had a thing for brunettes," Sirius Black continued.

"Well, I don't think people have a certain... type. Even if they say so. Sometimes feelings came suddenly." Sturgis prided himself for answering somewhat logically.

There was a pause.

"I have a thing for blondes," said Sirius. He was smirking. "Hasn't changed."

Sirius then walked away from him towards Marlene McKinnon, and Sturgis couldn't do anything except watch the interaction from afar, hoping Sirius didn't say anything about his lame confession of liking her.

But the one thing about Sirius is that he couldn't hold his tongue.

"You know Podmore is ogling you for the past... I don't know, two hours?" Sirius leaned in and whispered in her ear.

"That's... lovely."

Sirius scoffed, "Yeah, lovely." he said sarcastically.

"Well you barely talked to me today, and the first thing you said was what? That Podmore is staring at me?"

"He was," Sirius said as he took the firewhiskey from her hand and glanced back at the boy still fixing his eyes on Marlene. "Still is."

"Nice to know that someone actually cared about me, then." Marlene huffed and walked away to the corner of the room out of earshot with Sirius following her.

"Are you deliberately trying to make me feel bad for avoiding you?"

"So you are avoiding me?" Marlene raised her eyebrow. "Hmm. I got you there, didn't I?"

Sirius suddenly gulped down his firewhiskey. Marlene stared at the man in front of her skeptically. Sirius took a deep breath and trying to avoid Marlene's eyes.

"If you're not going to explain yourself, then I might as well entertain Sturgis Podmore." Marlene shrugged and tried to walk away.

"Alright, I was avoiding you. I was sorting myself out. You probably know why."

"Because you're an idiot who has a big pride? Or was it that you are too much of a wanker to explain yourself after kissing me a week ago out of the blue?"

"The second one. I guess the first is partly true." He let out a sigh. "I don't know how to deal with it. I was drunk that day. Half drunk."

It was Marlene's turn to sigh. "I know you fancy me, Sirius."

Sirius didn't know how to answer that. He didn't know whether he was blushing or just nauseated. He just wished Sturgis has another important hobby by now. "Do you have that huge of an ego, McKinnon?"

"One, you acted like an absolute dog ever since you kissed me." Sirius can't help but smile at her statement. "Two, your mates basically spelled it out."

Sirius blinked. "Mates?" He asked, in disbelief, "James?"

"And Remus... and Peter."

"Those bastards." Sirius massaged his temple.

"It wasn't exactly a secret. You never told them to keep it as a secret."

"It doesn't matter."

Marlene almost laughed in his face but thought it's better not to. The good thing is she does know how to cheer him up.

"I'll tell you a secret," she said as she walked closer to him. "I like you too,"

"Are you making fun of me?"

"No- What?" Marlene groaned, "If you don't want to kiss me again, I'm sure Sturgis Podmore is more than happy to keep me company."

And as Marlene backed away, Sirius caught her wrist and led her out of the door. "Let's get out of here," he said.

As they got out and enjoyed themselves under a tree in the dead of night, Marlene chuckled against his lips. "Aren't you glad Sturgis ogled me today? He got you all bothered. We ended a week-old argument on such a good note because of him."

"Could you not call him Sturgis? Better yet, how about you never mention him while we're snogging, huh?"

"I quite like this jealous Sirius."

"Whatever, Marlene." Then Sirius kissed her again.

I have always enjoyed alicia vikander fancast as Marlene but you made me fall in love with Samara as Marlene! I think your edits work so well and they look great together too! I really loved your latest one 'Do you love her' Making edits is hard work and yours are awesome <3 <3

Thank you, everyone, for the messages. I can’t answer every single one, but I appreciate how many of you like to tell me you loved the video/Marlene’s fancast/ other contents I post. I’m currently working on multiple random stuff for this blog. In the meantime, enjoy this discontinued series of pic of Marlene and Sirius.

Thank you again for the messages everyone!

More to come!

xoxo, Cami.

Maybe we are from the same star

It’s just you and I, McKinnon. No one else.

[hokeytheelf]

I knew you’d haunt all of my what-if’s

[hokeytheelf]

Hey, Just wondering why you picked Samara Weaving as Marlene McKinnon compared to the usual Vikander and Freya Mavor. It's a little new, but I'm kind of getting used to it.

I’m glad you’re getting used to it :). In fanfiction, Marlene is usually depicted as a blonde, which to me fits really well. And Freya Mavor doesn’t do a lot of movies, so it’s hard to make edits with her.  I found the fancast with Sam Weaving somewhere on youtube, the video uploader deleted it but I thought she’d be a perfect Marlene. When I first look into it, I’m kind of surprised how well Sam Weaving fits Marlene, observe:  Marlene with a Gryffindor Quidditch hoodie.

Look at her wearing a leather jacket!!

She looks like she’s having fun with Lily here

Do you see what I mean?

Anyway, you can use any fancast you want, but I just love how this girl is cool and have a sense of humor in the movies, and that’s Marlene McKinnon to me!

[hokeytheelf]

By mentioning her name, there are a lot of questions that usually followed. Who was she? Was she your age? Was she nice? Were you friends? Those were the questions Sirius expected.

 “Do you love her?”

What a strange question, he thought.  He didn’t like that question, because how can he answer? The truth is there are no right answer. Marlene is not here anymore, so the question itself isn’t right.

“You’ll make him wish he never mentioned the girl.”

Sirius didn’t like mentioning names unless it’s necessary, because then he would remember and he would overthink. Maybe if she had lived, he would answer differently. More surely. He wished he could answer that question.

I finally finished it! Here is the blackinnon fan video I’ve been secretly working on with Samara Weaving and Ben Barnes as Marlene and Sirius. I hope you enjoy! Don’t be too harsh on me :) subtitles are available.

The short above is inspired from the quote in that video so check it out!

What Marlene says whenever Sirius is scared *tw*

Marlene: You ever hear that saying 'you are what you eat'?

Sirius: Are you saying I'm a pussy?

Blackinnon fanart-

Sirius Black and Marlene McKinnon, basically just a couple of smoking teenagers, leaning on a wall to look cool and wearing leather jackets because they’re that kind of kids.

I love how we all could guess who the three heads are because the fandom has an unspoken agreement

Lily sometimes found James extremely funny but she’d rather eat a hand full of Bertie Bott’s vomit flavoured beans than tell him so and inflate his already large ego. Even if that meant startling her unsuspecting roommates.

Sirius Knew What War Meant

Blackinnon Week 2021 Day  #7 - Last Meeting

The last time Sirius saw Marlene was a regrettable memory. Not because he hated it, or because they had a fight. They haven’t fought since so long ago. If Sirius tried to remember the last memory of Marlene alive, with her soul still intact, he would drown himself with firewhiskey.

It had been an order meeting and everyone was there. She was supposed to visit her family. He was supposed to write her a letter in about three days. Sirius and Marlene never made a big deal out of parting, that day was no exception. They just said goodbye as if it were any other day that’s what’s so regrettable about it.

Sirius wished he had one last goodbye, one last peck on the lips. Sirius was sure he’ll find closure if he could just have one more taste of Marlene. He would savor it and would respect it. Or better yet, accept it. But the wind seemed eager to blow Marlene’s light when Sirius had his guard down.

When news of Marlene’s death reached his ears, Sirius’s life was blurry for a while. He didn’t know how many firewhiskey and muggle alcohol he bought, he lost count. Even the Order seemed down, like they lost hope.

Sirius didn’t pay attention to the funeral, the guests, nor to the speech. He was looking at the casket, trying to figure out which one was Marlene out of the casket at the front. Sirius knew what he had signed up for, Marlene does too. They had that discussion before. He knew what war meant, and he had long years in his life to accept that. But it didn’t stop him from cursing this bloody war and the Death Eaters and fucking Voldemort. The Order members were looking at him expectantly, but Sirius didn’t notice. He just noticed that James and Lily weren’t there.

After a very long time trying not to bother James in his new house with his new wife, Sirius broke down his restraint and went to his doorstep in a drunken state. He banged on the door only three times before James opened it, like he knew Sirius was going to come.

“I’ve heard, Padfoot.” said James as he hugged him. “I’ve heard. Are you okay?”

“Not really,” said Sirius simply. Trying to process his surroundings. “I love her, still. She’s a great friend.”

Then James hugged him and Sirius realized he was lonely. Sirius was always the rational one, the optimist one. If an order member would die, Sirius was the one who knew what to say, that the ones that love us never truly leave us. But really, when it just happened, it’s harder to say it, let alone feel it.

Sirius was familiar with grief. Yet, that night, he couldn’t think straight and desperately needed company. He knew he just lost something valuable and the built up anger just breaks as his tears filled with wrath and defeat. The fire of Marlene McKinnon was burning up inside him as he counted every memory they had. The fire burned up his insides, too much to bear alone but died down slowly as he let it out at the hands of a friend. Sirius Black knew what war meant.

How About Now?

Blackinnon Week 2021 Day  #6 - Last Kiss

Marlene and Sirius had twenty minutes left before they had to go to the order meeting. After enjoying themselves at the Leaky Cauldron in a very very drunk state, they decided to walk to their destination, avoiding drunk apparating so they wouldn’t die by something as stupid as splinching.

“How about this? Does this look sober enough?” Marlene stopped walking and tried her best to not look drunk.

“I think it has less to do with the expression and more to do with your complexion,” said Sirius, “Your cheeks are flushed. Your hair is messy.”

“Well then, if anyone asked, just say we had a quick shag,” said Marlene laughing.

“And if you’re talking nonsense?” asked Sirius, putting his arms around her like he always does.

“I’ll just say I’m in a daze cause the shag was so good. That’ll be a good one.” Marlene laughed to herself and Sirius took off his leather jacket to put it on Marlene. They stopped walking to sit by an empty bench. They were only five minutes away, Sirius knew they had time.

“People would believe that,” said Sirius as Marlene tried to calm her hair down. She really does look like she just had a shag.

“How about now? Do I look sober now?” asked Marlene.

The street lights were dim, no one was around, and now as Sirius sat at the bench with Marlene looking at him with those beautiful blue eyes, he can’t help but kiss her.

His lips touched her hungrily at first, rough and fast. But as the time went on, he slowed but didn’t stop. He tried to notice everything about the kiss. He caressed her chin as he tipped it slightly upwards, and rubbed her pink cheek with his other hand.

He didn’t think much of the kiss when they finished. To his defense, they kissed a lot. What would make this one so different? If only he’d known, he would also want to remember her heartbeat, how long it lasted, how happy he felt afterwards. Remembering would hurt him even more.
