   Summary

   The story of the Marauders is a sad one, with betrayal turning their lives to ashes; we all know the tale. But what if someone had unmasked Peter Pettigrew just in time to prevent the events of Halloween 1981 from happening? Could James, Lily, Sirius and Remus find a happy ending if only that one night was erased from their stories?

   ----

   Non-canon compliment fic based off of atyd, so it contains parallels to MKB89's fic as well as some original characters from that same work. Events from Harry's life still somewhat take place towards the end, but with a few adjustments and some major changes (as in people don't die) AKA THIS IS AN ALL THE YOUNG DUDES FIX IT FIC from october 1981 = everybody lives <3
