    Summary

    What if the Potters never died that Halloween Night in 1981? What if Peter wasn't a traitor by choice but by magic? The Order is falling apart, and they no longer know who to trust. Things aren't playing in Dumbledore's favour.
    Hearts will break, tears will be shed, lives will be lost... but isn't that what you ultimately sign up for when you're a part of a wizarding war?

    Follow the marauders as they enter their fifth year at Hogwarts and navigate relationships, friendships, betrayal, lust, and love! This will be a long fic with many different background relationships and storylines. Hope you enjoy.

     

    UPDATE: 3/11/2024—It's been a couple of years since I last wrote. I will revise all existing chapters and write more soon! :) Chapters 1-25 have been revised and almost completely rewritten! Excited to write more chapters for this fic.

    Summary

    “What do you want me to do?” Remus says, tiredly. All he wants is to curl up on his bed. Smoke a pack of cigarettes. Get drunk. He can’t stop looking at Harry.

    “Remus...” Dumbledore is gentle. Remus hates when he has that tone. Hates that he knows it will hurt. “There is no one else left.”

    A bitter laugh escapes him. “So you’ll curse the poor thing with a werewolf for a guardian?”

    Summary

    The universe times it just right.

    They meet at a certain stage in life where everything is all impulse and curiosity, where you can get away with anything and maybe a scraped knee or detention to show for it, but it never lasts, it never hurts for longer than a week, at least, depending on what you’ve done.

    Maybe it’s because James Potter is too friendly for his own good, always running his mouth. He sets everything in motion, at least.

    But Sirius Black has never had real friends before, not like this, and a little brother plus a deranged old house elf don’t count. Even if they both let you win at chess every time you play.

    And Peter Pettigrew is used to playing along, and Remus Lupin just wants to share his passion for Muggle rock n' roll with someone who understands, you know?

    So they’re young and so it means everything to share a compartment on a train on a warm day in September, in 1971, and the universe got something right because that one day stretches an entire lifetime. And maybe beyond that, too. Maybe all the way to the other side.

    Summary

    When they were young, Sirius had always poked fun at Regulus' name for being a self-fulfilling prophecy. Naturally, Regulus strived to defy the odds of his namesake; but in a Gryffindor-esque, impulsive act of bravery, Regulus turned the tides of the Marauder's story. Sirius had been right, of course, and unbeknownst to any of them, their future now burns brighter than Regulus in the Leo constellation on a stary night.

    Or, an alternate universe where Regulus makes a split-second decision to run away with Sirius and changes the course of everyone’s future.
