Summary
“And you’re never going to—not until you’re deep in it—and when that happens, you won’t be the same person.”
“But—I do! This is what I want,” she repeated. “I can’t just rot in my aunts house until I’m without purpose at 18.”
“You’re young. You will find something else, there’s a whole world.”
“Do you regret it then? You are a myth!” she exclaimed, not once hesitating because of the woman’s words.
Hope’s eyes sharpened. “I don’t. But you and me? We’re not the same—despite what you think. I have a reason not to retire at this exact moment, people I need to take care of.”
***
Mary would often look back at her past and realize that she had always been going in this direction. When she had shown up at a dance club at 14, the time she hugged Sirius farewell while he was in tears, when she had been homeless at 18: It was all leading up to this moment-this moment in which Mary was infinite. She was always supposed to sing, to be next to Marlene and Lily.
And fuck, she couldn't be blamed that she wanted to be more with Lily.
***
Basically a band au that stars as a dance au featuring character study and ships

Summary
Lily had moved in close, eyes on hers and still there was too much darkness shrouding her eyes that there was no clear pathway into her soul. Mary wasn’t any shrink but she wasn’t stupid. There was something there. Something fierce and pulsing. She still had nerves but in the face of her fiercest adversary, Lily Evans was only an obstacle on her road to success. The rockstar grinned.
“Then buckle up, babe,” she said, leaning closer and closer, straight into Mary’s space. “Because that draft isn’t ever going to see the light of day.”
'We’ll see about that.'
(Lily doesn't like journalists, or maybe she just hasn't met the right one yet. Rumours take everyone down in the end.)

Summary
If only Mary had been there, her boys would have at least been prepared for the life they ended up in. She could have taught them the ropes, passed on the wisdom of generations of hunters. But then, if she had been alive, her boys wouldn’t have ended up hunters at all. The only family business they would have gone into was working at John’s garage, and even then, she couldn’t imagine either her or John pressuring them too. They would have been free.
And she was the reason that they weren’t.
...
In the aftermath of rescuing Sam from the British Men of Letters Mary grapples with her death and all the ways she feels she has failed her family.

Summary
Mary Macdonald enchanted everyone she came across. Perhaps it was her ability to understand a person better than they knew themselves. Or the effervescent light which radiated from her, drawing people in like a moth to a flame. Maybe it was the magic humming beneath her skin, ancient and resolute, calling to those who crave power beyond anything else.
Peter Pettigrew never did the right thing. Always in the background, never seen in the way James and Sirius were. Misguided, too trusting. Not wise or insightful in the way Remus seemed to know everyone’s true intentions. He lacked the shrewdness of Regulus and the gentle ease of Lily.
Truly, the one thing he ever did right was love her, and he never quite seemed to succeed at that.
-Or-
A Marauders era retelling where Mary Macdonald and Peter Pettigrew became friends on the Hogwarts Express before he met the Marauders. Exploration of friendships, relationships, and rivalries throughout their years at Hogwarts and beyond. Most importantly, a story of love and how it can drive a person to desperate lengths.

Summary
„In all of this constant change and chaos going on, when is the time where Mary Macdonald finds herself? Mary would probably say that she just didn't, but that isn't true. The real truth is that it happens in between the lines.
It all starts and ends with a flower.“
A Marylily Canon compliant.

Summary
They were looking at each other, the grass tickling their faces.
When Mary stayed quiet, Marlene looked away to her other side, where she picked up a small daisy and twirled it around in her hand. She looked back over at Mary, clearly thinking about something before she moved her hand to Mary’s hair and put the flower behind her ear.
“Here,” she said softly. “A pretty flower for a pretty girl.”

Summary
Two hundred years ago, the war began—ninety-seven since they claimed it ended. But we all know it didn’t. Water vanished, continents collapsed, and the survivors built Palevein: a walled city of seven states, the last refuge of humanity.
Once a sanctuary. Now a lie. A hollow shell where survival means pretending. Beyond the walls stretch wastelands, poisoned forests, and the exiled. And on the city’s edge stands Cosmos—the lab that turns broken people into experiments.
Hope is ash. Until someone dares to strike the match.
or
Dystopic Marauders AU, "super powers" trope, and lost of drama.

Summary
“I just realised,” Sam says, and she thinks he might be lying. “I guess I was too busy to give it much thought at the time, but do you know who wasn’t in Dean’s heaven? Dad.”
“That can’t be true,” Mary crosses her arms. “Dean and John were always…”
“I know, it’s weird isn’t it?” Sam says. He’s toying with his bottle, rolling it from hand to hand. She notices it but she doesn’t know what it means, not the way John probably did. Not the way Dean would. “And they spent so much time together too, you’d think some of it must’ve been happy. But I guess that’s Dean and dad in a nutshell: normal enough on the surface, but scratch that away and all you find are secrets.”Ressurected (again) in a clumsy attempt at divine redemption (again) and stuck in the happily ever after part of the story, Mary does her best to cope with the motherhood she can never quite remember wanting. But Dean won’t stop screaming in his sleep, and Jack won’t stop trying to fix him and there’s a storm in the distance that won’t stop brewing.
It'll probably all be fine. -

Summary
Mary Macdonald was a damn good healer, one of the best and most reliable the order had ever seen. This was very convenient, as there was a war going on. But after a fateful visit from the girl rumored to be a seer, Mary makes an unbreakable vow no healer should ever make.
(the title is a mitski lyric, this is canon compliant, and takes place in 1981… this one is not for the faint of heart)
