#dorlene ily with my whole heart

[maraudersmary]

writing a marlene centric modern marauders fic currently bc i took on board everyone saying we need to write ourselves what we are looking for :)

i may never post it bc i have never (properly) written before and am scared lol but you never know

it will have some heavy themes but also be fun and have many more light-hearted moments than angst (at least so far) (i’ve written three chapters)

it’s semi slow burn (as slow burn as wlw can be) dorlene btw with background and established wolfstar, jily, and emmary (my under appreciated loves) also good peter obvs :))

if anyone is interested let me know it may motivate me (and also any more details you may want) :)))

hello:) does anybody have any marauders fic recs where the characters are morally grey / not perfect all the time (i mean more like james or lily/the girls bc i feel like they, especially james, are often painted as flawless when in fact everyone has flaws, but will obviously take any recs of any characters). i’ve come to the conclusion as much as i love fluff and happiness, i am a girl who lives for the angst (maybe bc then the fluff feels so much nicer)

preferably longer (70k plus) but not too picky:)

and also non-canon compliant we go through enough pain sometimes i need an escape from their deaths 🥲

although it doesn’t have to be non-magic

also no jegulus please 🙏 (no hate to anyone who likes them i see the vision i am simply a jily girly through and through) but all other ships appreciated

in return i can offer recommendations for anybody who needs 🙏🙏

guys i posted a dorlene one shot and then realised i hadn’t posted chapter 11 which the one shot refers to so they are BOTH UP NOW !!!

i’m so silly 🤣

i didn’t plan on posting chapter 11 yet but i guess you guys just get a little monday treat <3

here is the link to the one shot

dorcas meadowes headcanons <3

it’s about time i did the object of my affections

FIRSTLY i am so undecided on what house they’d be in (i don’t read much hogwarts stuff i prefer aus so it’s not something i really think about tbh) but i like both slytherin and gryffindor dorcas

really close with pandora (ravenclaw together?) it’s a friendship they never excepted and even fought it off at first but pandora was relentless and dorcas is forever grateful for that (think grumpy sunshine friendship)

THE most powerful witch of their age like voldy had to personally kill them?? what more do i have to say

they never died and lives happily with marlene and a kitten

due to this they have an academic rivalry with lily but they actually both love it and it motivates them to try their hardest even when it seems like a struggle. they soon bond over other things like muggle books and music, forming a real friendship

they became enamoured with marlene on the quidditch pitch, and through spending more time with her fell in love with the fire that burned so brightly in her.

became an auror, eventually progressing to being the chief of auror’s (or whatever the title for that is)

in a muggle universe they would have a powerful role in something creative; think top music producer, ceo of a gallery, tattoo artist with their own shop.

hates being called dorky or dorks unless it’s marlene or james for some reason

came out as non-binary at 19

likes to smoke weed but not with other people, a solitary smoker who uses it to reach their most creative self

the exception of this is of course pandora

didn’t want to join the war, but knew their power would be needed, and they couldn’t imagine a world where they let marlene fight and possibly die without doing everything in their power to prevent that

has a slightly strained relationship with mary, they are good friends and hang out all the time as a group, but mary and marlene’s past always sits in the back of dorcas’ mind

ignoring time periods… favourite music is velvet underground and nico, unknown mortal orchestra, LCD soundsystem, and big thief.

loves yorgos lanthimos

sees themself in many fictional characters, including but not limited to; spencer reid, spencer hastings, cristina yang, and emily prentiss.

can be emotionally avoidant, but works hard to be able to be present and honest for marlene.

both nostrils pierced and a vertical labret, likes to wear their hair in braids and matches rings in it with their other piercings (they are a gold person always). wears a LOT of bracelets and necklaces

struggles with their ambition, they see it as a positive force, but also like a burden as they often feel unhappy with their professional life when they’re not rising up the ranks fast enough.

despite this, they feel completely content and at peace with marlene and their little family (the friend group)

has a funny little friendship with remus. they don’t hang out very often just the two of them, but somehow seem to gravitate towards each other in group settings and dorcas innately trusts remus with a lot. their respective friendships with lily help this bond grow

so yeah, she is my girl fr <3

[maraudersmary]

get off your phone is literally the thing keeping me going right now., sirius and remus this fight is heartbreaking but the writing is incredible despite it being texts i’m still crying at it

and marlene and dorcas you are the loves of my life ily bbys

i was so apprehensive about a texting fic and it turns out it’s the best one i’ve read 😭

[maraudersmary]

words cannot describe how much i love marlene mckinnon. everything about her is what i look for in someone she’s genuinely perfect.

i fear i’ll never get a girlfriend because no one compares to her.
