   Summary

   crack open the pbrs and crank up the talking heads baby - your college experience awaits! the one where sirius and regulus are reunited for the school year and everyone's best-laid plans go astray

   or, my semi-autiobiographical marauders-au-as-love-letter-to-small-liberal-arts-colleges, featuring lots of coffee shop drama, gay awakenings, terrible decision-making, and (loving) pre-med bashing. resemblances to real people, places, and events are totally intentional.
   general CW for substance use and abuse, as well as SA, DV, and mental health discussions.
   much more of an ATYD/Crimson Rivers/Choices fic than a HP fic. in this house we do not support jowling kowling rowling
   - updates are kinda infrequent i can't lie but this fic WILL be finished eventually

   - title from "this must be the place (naive melody)" by talking heads
