    “I like it,” he says weakly. “I like it, I like you holding me like this.”

    “Like what?”

    “Like you own me.”

    Summary

    Introducing Remus Lupin, a self-hating, half-blood werewolf who hasn't experienced human touch for six years; Sirius Black, a rebellious pureblood who doesn't know how it feels to be loved; Peter Pettigrew, an anxious halfblood with a dark past who just wants to be accepted; and James Potter, a mischievous pureblood with more love in his heart than he knows what to do with. You think you know how their story goes, but when people talk about their childhoods, they aren't always accurate. Perspective, emotions, and time distort their memories. They leave things out, sometimes they lie, and sometimes they're simply wrong.

    This is the true story of the Marauders, following their lives through Hogwarts and beyond. An epic tale of boundless friendship, abundant mischief, and eternal love, spanning twenty years, from Remus and Sirius' first meeting in 1965 until their happily ever after.

    The story complies with the facts of canon until after the events of Halloween 1981 when it takes a major diversion, but anything that was solely a character's opinion/belief may have been reinterpreted, and it's told from the POVs of Remus and Sirius through first-year, with more POVs joining in from second-year onwards.

    Summary

    Sirius studied Remus’ face. He was curious what he thought of all of this, the only one of them who didn’t have a mark– theoretically– and the only one with a muggle parent. Muggles didn’t get marks, he knew. If Remus’ parents were soulmates, then they wouldn’t know it. He wondered if there was a way to tell, though. If they could just feel it, somehow, even without the help of some magical fate.

    Because it seemed like something you would just know, just from being near someone, from being close enough to them, from being in the same space. Like their souls would attract like magnets or like water droplets traveling down a window, waiting to merge until the last moment when they realized they were on the same path, and then they’d become one.

    Was that fate, Sirius wondered?

    He realized Remus was staring back at him, his eyes puzzled and curious and warm.

    Sirius looked away first and didn’t look back, pushing down something heavy and impossible in his chest.
