Diversity win! The bigoted megalomaniac who wants to take over the world has gay people in his group of evil followers!

sirius says that the “lestrange couple” were friends with snape at school, but bella and rodolphus had already graduated before snape started school; the only natural conclusion to this must be that the lestrange couple in question was rabastan and barty.

RABARTAN

Thoughts on Rabartan?(barty jr/rabastan lestrange)

okay okay these two. I adore these two. (I haven’t interacted with much fan work though so what you’re about to read is my interpretation of them)

They work really well in canon complacent stuff because they’re two of the only marauders characters we know things about. They were both also death eaters of roughly the same age. When they tortured the Longbottoms it was like a four person job, two of them were brothers and two of them were married to like. How did Barty fit in? Cause he was Rabastans boyfriend

I like Rosekiller (They’ll always be on top) but because of the babygirlification of them both, they tend to be more morally right. But since Rabastan doesn’t have much of a base I feel like they’re more often then not the morally grey “bad guys” and I like that.

I’d definitely love to read more about them if you’ve got anything

Before I joined the marauders fandom I always thought Barty/Rabastan would be like a really popular ship because #boyfriends-who-torture-together-stay-together, then I got here and was so disappointed. There is literally no content for them.

I’ve decided that their ship name is Rabartan and here are some headcanons for them, because you should be the change you want to see in the world.

Barty and Rabastan were vaguely aware of each other’s existence, until Barty met Rabastan at a party with Regulus and they were both like immediately like subconsciously thinking

“I would gouge out someone’s eyeballs for you”

So they started sending each other letters

“Rabastan, I love that sparkly look you get in your eye when you hex muggleborns. It’s very predatoryyyy and eroticcc of you. Look at me like that but without the hexing, From Barty”

Then Rabastan is like

“Wow this kid, the dark lord will love him”

So he sends a letter to Barty

“Barty, my favorite neck bitee, I have a proposition. You come to my secret dungeon underneath my house that my great-great-great-great-great grandfather Aloysius Lestrange built, I have a surprise for you;) from Rabastan the naughty man”

Barty gets there and instead of an unclothed Rabastan, he is met by a fully clothed Rabastan and the dark lord

Tom is like

“Rabastan told me you like it when he hexes muggleborns is that true?…”

Barty is like

“Yes, oh my Salazar, Dark lord. I’ve been loving the things you’ve been committing around the country for years, but I never thought I’d get the chance to meet you in person. Of course I’ll be a death eater”

So Barty gets darkmarked

Straight afterwards Barty and Rabastan kill their first muggle together

Barty and Rabastan alway make sex jokes at death eater meetups

And Snape is always side eyeing them for impropriety

But the rest of the death eaters don’t care because at least they’re not as bad as Bellatrix

So they fuck in Rabastans room most of the time so Crouch Sr. Won’t find out

But once they snuck into Regulus’ shower and fucked and Reg never found out

Rabastan keeps Barty’s fav book on his nightstand for him(Curses and Counter-Curses: Bewitch your friends and befuddle your enemies with the latest revenges: Hair loss, Jelly-Legs, Tongue-Tying, and much, much more. By Vindictus Viridian)

Rabastan loves sniffing Barty’s hair because it smells like iron efficient peaches

Barty has a lock of Rabastan’s hair inside the watch he got for his seventeenth birthday

So then Halloween happens and they torture Alice and Frank together and they go prison

Then yadayada canon happens and shits and giggles

Feel free to add your Rabartan headcanon’s onto this, Mes Amis.

Barty Crouch Jr. and Rabastan Lestrange moodboard

[lemongrass77777-moved]

Modern!AU Barty who goes to University for a degree in theater, and meets upperclassman Rabastan Lestrange whom he quickly becomes infatuated with. They start dating, and he eventually meets Rabastan’s friends, and they get on really well. Rabastan tells him that he has a surprise for him, and Barty assumes it’s a nice dinner. He is wrong, and is taken to the headquarters of the knights of walpurgis, an elite organization of criminals. He is brung to the office of their leader, Tom Riddle, and asked to join. Barty immediately accepts, excited to get his hands dirty. He is made a spy for the group, utilizing his acting skills to get close to their enemies.

Barty was so iconic for torturing people with his bf✨

the fact that Rosekiller, ship where one half doesn’t even have a canonical personality, and they never interacted in any remotely canonical text, is leagues more popular than Prongsfoot is actually my villain origin story.
