Regulus - Handsomely Pretty like an incoming storm and the dark sea, like the dark ink of secret letters in the middle of a New Moon, like an untold promise and tainted daggers;
Dorcas - Gorgeous like prohibited desire and fascinating as a battlefield, like everlasting burning fire, like bloody teeth, sharp tongue and deadly gaze, like destruction in the name of love;
Barty - Attractively hot in a seductive way, like the snake of the sacred garden of Eden, like the temptation of danger or of freedom, like madness and bloodied fingers;
Evan + Pandora - Ethereal Beauty but one more sophisticated and deadly like poison, like a black bleeding rose, the occult, enchanted beings and sharp tools and the other more wild and untamable like savage nature and raw electricity, like cleverness and rage, like true witchcraft and deadly potions.

marauders!au where the war never happened and they all got to go on and live happy lives :) its set years later, when Harry, Ron, Neville, Luna and Hermione are going into their first year.
I haven’t come up with an actual plot yet :/ but this is the setting, and they are all around their early-to-mid-thirties at this point. it's likely just domestic fluff and slice-of-life type shit, with Harry still getting into impossible amounts of fuckery whilst stressing at least 10 different adults (as he should tbh)
i can't decide whether this is set in the 90s or in the modern!era so i left it ambiguous
Barty Crouch Jr, now Professor Barty (just Barty, Crouch is my father), teaches DADA and his fiancé, Evan Rosier, is a Magizoologist who travels during the school year, comes back home for the holidays and weekends to spend with Barty, either on Hogwarts grounds or at their own home.
Barty has a close friendship with McGonagall, who is Headmistress, and Poppy (who are married, but no one figured it out).
Dorcas and Marlene play International-Level Quidditch: Dorcas for England, and Marlene for Wales or Ireland (undecided). Everyone thinks they hate each other from the way they treat each other during games.
They played for the Holyhead Harpies until they got recruited, and their wedding was basically the biggest, most dramatic and over-the-top graduation party Hogwarts had ever seen, hosted in the Potter Manor. everyone was hungover for days afterwards
Lily and Snape are best-friends-turned-rivals, who achieved a Mastery in Potions at the same time, and are both the youngest people to ever do so.
Sev specialises in theoretical potions, and Lily specialises in experimental work, altering old potions and creating new ones. She commandeered the entire basement for her own potions lab, and Remus helps her research in his spare time.
Pandora started publishing with Xenophillius (the definition of gender-fuckery; no-one knows how they identify, not even Xeno), and they publish the most outlandish work they can, alongside Pandora’s books!!
They also run Xeno's Quibbler and a couple other independent newspapers. They live out in the countryside w/ Luna. Barty & Evan are their only walking-distance neighbours, but they floo to their friends houses semi-regularly
MaryLily and StarChaser are co-parenting Harry, and being godparents/family friends of Draco, Blaise Zabini, Ron, Neville and Luna.
When Harry is at pre-school, he makes friends with Hermione, and the four of them introduce Dr and Dr Granger to the magical world over the years, instead of the two month crash-course Hogwarts gives
Mary is an artist, and since she was raised half-blood, absolutely adores the technique and process of muggle painting, later enchanting it to move and learn and talk. She doesn't own anything that isn't stained with paint, bleach or hair dye.
She is famous for her work, in Magical and Muggle circles, but is almost completely anonymous, and they only know what she looks like because of a group portrait she painted
Regulus is an independent researcher of old Pagan traditions and 'Muggle' magic, how different solstices and days (like All Hallows Eve) affect the Magical community, etc.
He visits Barty at Hogwarts with Harry every few weeks, and later with Hermione as well, so they grew up learning about the secrets at Hogwarts, in the library, and with the teachers. Also friendly house rivalry, and the adults completely split on which houses they will go into at Hogwarts. Evan started a betting pool.
James and Sirius are the wizarding private investigators. They work everywhere, for everyone (no matter what. they don't need to charge more than what people can afford), and love it.
James absolutely adores the 'Sherlock Holmes' vibes, but they are both Sherlock Holmes b/c they are simply too baddass not to be!
Remus opened a bookstore-cafe, and him and Sirius live in the flat above it. It’s really popular and became the place for students and young queer people. The bookstore stocks everything from really popular and really unknown books and authors of every genre.
The regulars also notice all these really famous but really mysterious friends of Remus who come-and-go (artist!mary, author!pandora, athletes!dorlene, etc).
And then, of course, is the “private” investigator boyfriend, who couldn’t be less subtle at anything if he tried.
Alice is still an Auror, and the Best of the Best, but she is so fucking fed up of the politics, DMLE, and Ministry in general. She is starting a revolution/reformation from the inside- and if that doesn’t work, quit her job and do the same thing from the outside!
Frank ended up in law and becoming a Lawyer, and is glad he did, because it might be the only thing that will keep his partner out of jail if she decides to commit treason.
They love Neville to bits, and would do anything for him!! They built a whole-ass greenhouse when he discovered his talent.
Peter Pettigrew works part-time with Remus at his place, but is currently training with Gringotts/other cursebreakers to become a professional cursebreaker! it is taking a long ass time with a lot of testing and work to put in, but Peter finds it interesting and it meant that he always has more stories to tell the kids when he sees them, which is a bonus because children are hard to entertain.

i love a good rosier twins hc but I raise you one better (imo): rosier cousins to 2 sets of twins.
i had this teacher in elementary school and she was an identical twin and those twins also married identical twins (do not ask me how it happened, i do not know, i was 8 when i received this information). these 2 sets of twins got married and then each had one child each: a boy and a girl born a few days apart (i swear i couldn’t make this up if i tried, the kids’ name both start with the same letter too just like twins).
these two families are neighbours with connecting backyards and basically grew up as siblings.
it would make sense cause of arranged pureblood marriage crap and they had to share a house because both men were the heirs to the rosier name. the pregnancies are obviously also planned but evan was born a premie and his due date was the same as pandora. so give me rosiers cousins.
give me evan born on september 7th (a virgo) and pandora born on october 7th (a libra). give me evan being a hypervocal child at a young age and telling people what dora was thinking because he just knew. give me dora learning how to walk before evan and walking around to get things evan was listing out for her when they were playing with their play potions kits.
give me dora and evan living in the same townhouse similar to grimauld because their fathers were both the heirs to the rosier name and power. give me their mothers being from a powerful french pureblood family so they would spend their summers in a french villa with endless gardens where they would play explorers.
give me dora and evan always wanting to share a room but never being allowed to so they would sneak into each other’s rooms most nights and have sleepovers.
give me dora and evan that look like twins, because they essentially are, genetically and emotionally speaking, siblings. give me them just going with it as children because they always wanted siblings but it’s okay because they has each other and that was better. give me all of hogwarts being shocked when they wished dora a happy birthday on september 7th and finding out her birthday is only a month later.
give me evan gloating when he turned 17 cause he could buy dora’s favourite dandelion wine but she couldn’t. give me dora calling evan an old man when she had to get the knots out of his back as a pre-teen cause he was growing too fast and was maladjusted.
so yeah, give me rosier twins that are actually cousins but actually twins.

i need to paint a picture here:
imagine pandora and regulus are friends and she’s trying to get sirius to warm up to her, so she invites sirius over to her home.
(now look up and play walk the dog by laurie anderson)
pandora, xenophilius, and luna break out some instruments and play this song for sirius as he sits frozen on their couch
