Summary

Summary
James Potter is ready to abandon his intimidating reputation—and finally move on from his insane infatuation with that persnickety, ginger prig. Lily Evans is not the same person she was before the summer holiday and is willing to set her differences aside regarding that snobbish, buggering toadstool in order to please her new best friend. Sirius Black broke an oath, repeatedly, and will stop at nothing to keep the other Marauders & his ex-lover from learning the truth. Marlene McKinnon, god dammit, is reinventing herself as someone entirely separate from her childhood best friend, James Potter, and the mystery bloke that broke her heart. Remus Lupin is an unforgivable monster who doesn’t deserve to be loved. Emmeline Fitzgerald has been in love with Remus Lupin since the fourth year. Peter Pettigrew is accustomed to hiding his true self from his closest friends. And Mary Macdonald does not know her true self outside of gossip, drama, and a toxic relationship. Beginning at the start of sixth year and told from multiple POVs, Secrets May As Well Be Lies is a melodramatic, mostly-canon, and comedic tale of how the Potters fell in love—and the inevitable, tumultuous downfall of those they love most.
