I want this šš
Marauders band AU:
James and Peter forming a band in their really early teens. Denim jackets, converse and matching hair. Sirius black coming along years later looking for an escape from his family all of which are world renowned classical composers. Cigarettes, liquid eyeliner and painted nails. Potter on the guitar, Pettigrew on Vocals/Keyboard, Black on the drums. Remus lupin found them last, an eighteen year old with nothing to loose, Doc martens, Scars and hands born to play the bass. Lily, Marlene and Mary a band who they met at a recording studio. Sirius putting up his hair with drumsticks. Regulus carrying on the black name with Barty, Evan, Pandora and Dorcas, playing violins and pianos and cellos at opera houses. Wolfstar being shipped by fans worldwide. Joint Instagram accounts. Regulus teaching James how to play on a keyboard because he didnāt want to overshadow Remus. Sirius and Regulus being seen arguing in Public, captured by Paparazzi. Leather jackets and designer suits. Remus himself having a tremor in his hands, he needs meds for just so they can stop shaking. Arguments before concerts. Chaotic interviews, music videos. Questions asked about love, Peter smirking, James blushing, Remus kissing Sirius. The whole lot of them LGBTQ+ icons, Remus, Lily and Regulus performed a song together once and everyone went mental. I could go on. The potential is here guys.
My new favourite headcanon that I made up, last night when I was supposed to be sleeping:
Itās that Pete made up all the marauders nicknames while he was high and the conversation went a little something like..
Remus: Pete how much did you have?
Pete: [very clearly high out of his mind] .. āothing.
Sirius: oh youāre absolutely wasted
Pete: nuhhh..
James: cmon Pete, letās get you to bed
Pete: no!!.. you heard did ya?
James: sorry?
Pete: that people make nicknames.. like moonguy over there.. [lazily points his hand over to Remusā direction]
James & Sirius: [laughing] moonguy??
Remus: oh my god.
Pete: I mean yāall.. donāt talk
Sirius: ..we canāt talk..?
Pete: yea.. you- have pads on your feet.. so you- *gags*
James: oh Padfoot come help me bring him to the bathroom *smirks*
Sirius: ..I hate you
Remus: Not so funny anymore is it?
Pete: oka.. moon..y
Sirius: ..moony..!
James: I like Moony better
Remus: I hate you all.
Sirius: *blows a kiss to Remus*
James: *helping Peter get to the bathroom*
Pete: why..?
Prongs: pardon?
Sirius: whatās he saying?
James: uhh, I donāt know
Pete: you have no..
James: who? ..Me or Sirius?
Pete: both.. you
James: what donāt I have?
Pete: noo uhh. no, no collar-
Pete: I see deers with collars in zoos..
James: well I donāt want to wear a collar, thatās for wild deer
Sirius: *walks in*
Pete: you should get a.. met.. ual one..
James: metal?
Sirius: a what?
Pete: Like a..
Sirius: a metal collar? What like a prongs? Arenāt they for dogs..-
Pete: prongs..! *hugs James*
Sirius: oh! Ha Prongs!! *hugs Pete & James*
Remus: huh?
Sirius: Pete came up with another nickname!
Remus: Hold up weāre not actually gonna use them? Are we??
Sirius: of course we are.. Moony
Remus: I hate you
James: *says from the bathroom* So Remus is Moony, Sirius is Padfoot and, apparently, Iām Prongs.
Remus: whatās Peter going to be?
James: well his Animagus is a rat so we can make something out of that-
Sirius: ..rattail..!
Remus: ratās tails look like worms kinda.. or maybe-
Sirius: wormtail!!
Pete: nuh.. uh. *still over in the toilet*
James: itās perfect.
And thatās how they got their nicknames, thank you for listening
Personally, I like to think that Peter actually managed to kill twelve Muggles with a single spell. I mean, the man became an Animagus when he was about fifteen years old. He might not have been a top student in class, but he was clearly no idiot when it came to magic. Not to mention that he actually succeeded in resurrecting Voldemort. So yes, I do believe Peter had some skill when it came to magic and wasn't a complete failure like some people think.
Marauders & co. at an airport/ on a plane
James: Looks in every shop at the airport, is really hyper up until he gets on the plane, then heās pretty chill
Sirius: Terrified of flying on a plane (will fly on a literal broomstick but canāt even think about flying in an enclosed space). Brings his skincare to do on the plane.
Remus: Forces everyone to get to the airport early, packs the night before, is at least 20 peopleās airport crush. Reads the whole plane ride
Peter: Brings snacks, magazines, games. Gets lost but makes friends with some random person who heāll never see again
Marlene: Goes into every shop with James, will not chill out on the plane (always asks the flight attendants a million questions), is that annoying person who claps when the plane lands
Lily: Helps Remus rangle everyone into coming to the airport early, has her whole suitcase organised, sleeps on the plane
Mary: Forces everyone to get to the gate early, first in line onto the plane, gets really stressed (especially going through security)
Regulus: Looks chill, but heās actually really scared of planes (like Sirius), has monogrammed luggage, listens to music on the plane. Sits on the aisle seat
Pandora: Is actually super chill, has the āwe get there when we get thereā mentality. If no one dragged her along to be early sheād turn up as the gate was closing. Brings her latest craft project onto the plane (not like messy stuff, like crochet or embroidery or smth)
Dorcas: Makes sure no one gets lost, is at least 20 peopleās airport crush (like Remus), is willing to put people on one of those backpack leash things. Talks to people on the plane.
Evan: Tiredā¢ļø. It doesnāt matter if the flight is at 1pm, heāll still sleep at every chance he gets. Goes crazy when the airport has a Lego shop. Sleeps on the plane (obvi)
Barty: Is extremely annoying. Wonāt be ready when everyone has to leave, definitely forgot something at home, is super annoying on the flight (will be that person that āasks questionsā when the flight attendants are doing the safety thing), claps when the plane lands.
I had this really weird dream last night that regulus was going to work but Sirius had taken his phone and he was really upset. Then James came and stared baking him a new phone. Like full on eggs and flour and shit. It was really cute but Iām still kinda scared. Like what was that about??
Marauders & co as things my sister has said (sheās deranged, Istg)
- James: (Talking about storm troopers) look at them running around like tic tacs. Tica tica tica tica
- Barty: When I grow up Iām gonna be a Kidnapper
- Sirius: Can you touch this hole in my foot? Regulus: no. I donāt want to touch the hole in your foot. Sirius: Whyyyyyyyy
- Barty: See ya sisters! Wait are you taking a video? Take a video [regulus]! Okay. See ya sisters!
- Pandora: This foot massager is like dislocated bones wiggling around under skin. I love it
(These are all the ones I have written down in my notes app, but my sister is completely nuts and has said some way weirder stuff)
Star āif the only way to love you is to let us dieā chaser
I JUST FINISHED CHAIN OF THORNS AND OMFG GUYS I CANT.
anyways hereās the merry thieves as marauders (or the other way round idk)
Thomas -> James
Matthew -> Sirius
James -> Remus
Christopher -> Peter
And as an added bonus, the love of my life, Alastair would be the other love of my life, Regulus.
(I REALLY wanted James herondale to be James potter for the lolz but theyāre just donāt give off similar vibes in my humble opinion)
@mylordcheezer has technically given me permission to rant, so here it is.
1. James and Sirius would so watch h2o because itās almost like their animagus, as in they turn into mermaids and they have to hide it. Also, the fact thatās they would be outcast by society if they revealed their secret would remind them of Remus (also Emma Cleo and Ricky go a bit loopy on full moons and they have to hide from the moon and other people, almost like the shrieking shack). Mostly they would watch it just for funsies tho
2. (Kinda spoilers for s1 young royals) Regulus would relate to Wilhelm, they both grew up as the āspareā but then when their older brothers left/died, they suddenly became the important one. They also both had to hide their queerness. Also, regulus would totally learn Swedish and become fluent in it. (Also, he always has captions on because he canāt hear it if the captions arenāt on. Iām totally not saying that because itās how I watch stuff)
3. I fully believe that James would have read the heartstopper comics before the show came out, and Sirius would be a āheartstopper is cringeā girlie, until James forced him to watch it. Then he would be OBSESSED. Iām talking, reading all the comics, buying them, watching the show on repeat, starting a whole fan account, the whole lot. Also, heād tease James about the fact that hes nick and regulus is Charlie.
4. Evan and barty would binge heartbreak high in one night, idk why they would like it so much, it just gives off their vibes. Bartys favourite character would be Harper and evans would be ca$h
5. Dorcas would LOVE the chilling adventures of Sabrina because like, itās witchy and stuff, idk it just gives off her vibes, she would laugh about how wrong they were about witchcraft though. And gossip girl, I actually havenāt watched it so I donāt really know, but my friend said it kinda gave of dorcas vibes and I can see it so yah
6. Omg lily and Mary just give off Gilmore girl vibes. Mary would love Lorelei and lily would love sookie, like so much. They would both be like, edward Cullen level obsessed. And gossip girl, theyād watch that because dorcas put them onto it and theyād have weekly picnics to discuss it.
7. I feel like lily would just relate to Anne, like, I donāt really have a reason behind this one, lily just gives cottagecore girlie vibes
8. Pandora would watch the good place because itās kinda like upbeat but also really dark and twisted, which is kinda like her. Like I see pandora as being really light and kinda loopy and stuff but she has really dark interests.
9. Pandora and regulus would so watch umbrella academy together, again, itās kinda dark and a bit out there so obviously theyād both love it. Regulus would relate to viktor, because they both feel out of place in their families. Pandora would try to guess whatās gonna happen next and sheād be eerily right every time.
10. Peter and Siriusās friendship is silly and I see it as childish in the best way possible, so theyād watch teen titans religiously. Sirius would LOVE starfire (idk why but I just think he would) and Peter would be obsessed with beast boy or robin.
11. Remus would watch shadow and bone for the six of crows parts. He wouldnāt be obsessed with the shadow and bone parts, but with six of crows? YES. He obviously would have read the books (the shadow and bone trilogy and the six of crows duology). He would relate so much to kaz, because they both feel like they arenāt deserving of love and that they shouldnāt love someone because it makes them vulnerable. Also, they both grew up kinda having to fend for themselves. Ok so derry girls, I think heād just watch it for fun, it would be something he can watch to take his mind off things. I also think that Erin, Orla, Michelle and Clare would remind him of the marauders
12. Marlene would watch atypical for Casey, like Casey would be the reason she watched the show. And I also think sheād just watch kinda shitty shows just because she can. Like Kath and Kim (which is the best show ever made). She would love Kath and Sharon, just because theyāre icons. Thatās it really
13. James and regulus would watch the end of the f***ing world and I am not okay with this because James would want to watch something with his boyfriend, and even though heās not as interested in the supernatural/dark sides of the shows, he sees how happy it makes regulus, and that makes it all worth it. Honestly, heād spend the whole time looking at regulus
14. Regulus and Remusā friendship gives me life, so naturally I have to have a show that they watch together, which is the queens gambit. Tbh I havenāt watched it, but I just feel like they would both like it.
15. I KNOW THIS IS A NEW ONE BUT I HAD TO ADD IT. Sirius would watch young royals so he could have something to talk about with regulus.
Ok thatās the end of my rambles, that was really great because none of my friends care about the marauders, so dumping my thoughts on random internet people is my next best option. Enjoy š.
Tv shows I think people from the marauders era would watch:
James and Sirius: H2o (and theyād fucking love very minute of it)
Regulus: Young Royals
Sirius and James (yes again, because I can): heartstopper
Evan and Barty: Heartbreak high (the new one)
Dorcas: the chilling adventures of Sabrina/gossip girl
Lily and Mary: Gilmore girls/ gossip girl (theyād talk about it with dorcas)
Lily: Anne with an E
Pandora: the good place
Pandora and regulus: umbrella academy
Peter and Sirius: teen titans go
Remus: shadow and bone (heās obviously read the books first tho)/ derry girls
Marlene: atypical/sex education/ Kath and Kim
James and regulus: the end of the f***ing world/I am not ok with this
Regulus and Remus: the queens gambit
I HAVE REALLY DETAILED EXPLANATIONS TO ALL OF THESE BUT THEYRE REALLY LONG AND RAMBLY SO IM LEAVING THEM OUT

Marauders era on a road trip (james, Sirius and Marlene stole a school bus to make sure everyone was on the same thing)
Sirius and Remus: Sitting at the back making out
James: āWHO WANTS TO PLAY I SPY WITH ME? No? OK HOW ABOUT TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE?ā
Evan: Asleep
Barty: drawing on evan
Dorcas: In charge of the music, has an amazing playlist lined up
Peter: Giving directions (really badly, but itās fine)
Marlene: pulling faces/holding up random signs at cars on the road
Pandora: sitting very aesthetically with the window down, the wind like, blowing her hair perfectly and drawing BEAUTIFUL things because sheās a queen
Regulus: Reading with his noise cancelling headphones on but every now and then he looks up and rolls his eyes at James (who obviously swoons)
Lily: playing hand games with Mary (apple on a stick, chopsticks, bang bang shoot etc.)
Mary: playing hand games with lily, as well as having a very heated debate with Peter over the directions
You know, regulus, James, dorcas, Marlene, Barty, Evan, lily, Mary, Remus and Sirius would have all gotten sweaters today.
But they wonāt. None of them will, because sadly, they all had a meeting with a bald man with no nose, one of his club members or a random veil.
Regulus Arcturus black was the most mesmerising person he had ever seen. From the moment he saw him, James was trapped, like a fly in a web. At the time, in second year, heād thought it was hatred. But it wasnāt, was it?
Over time, he came to realise that what he felt for regulus wasnāt hate at all, but love. Although there is a very, very thin line between the two.
Even when he knew he shouldāve hated him, James loved him. James loved him with everything he was.
In the end, hatred and love were two very different things for James Potter.
The moment Regulus Black laid eyes on James Potter, he hated him. Even before that, he hated the idea of James Potter. He hated his stupid face, his stupid, bright smile and the fact that heād taken away his one lifeline in the cold life he lived.
The thing was, James potter was everywhere, there was no getting away from him. In the beginning, it was fine, fun even, James, along with Sirius, mocking him, picking fights with him. He could deal with that. But then, encounters like that became less and less, replaced with Jamesā bright smiles, his futile but constant attempts at becoming friends.
That was what broke regulus in the end, what made him admit that what he felt for James potter was more than just hatred. It was love.
Loving James potter was all consuming, regulus became love for James, all the while hating himself and James for it. He hated and loved James potter right up until the end, even after those cold dead hands pulled him into the black water, he hated and loved James more than anything.
In the end, hatred and love were the same thing for Regulus Black.
Sirius: why is bacon called bacon and cookies called cookies if you cook bacon and bake cookies?
Remus: Sirius, please not now. IM TRYING TO SLEEP.
James in the background sitting there while his brain overheats
Ive come on here for one reason. And that is to say that Sirius was definitely, 100% an astrology girlie. Thank you and goodnight
James: I donāt know what Iād do without you. Youāre my centre of gravity, without you, everything would float away and life would be nothing. I just donāt know how to explain how much I love you, my love for you is what I am now, I am nothing if not complete adoration for everything you do.
Sirius: I love you too prongs, youāll never really know how much, but I do love you, so so much
*emotional loving embrace*
Regulus standing in the corner: what the fuck did I just witness
Remus: get used to it bud
I love being able to be such a nerd in art class
Remus lupin realising there were all these other werewolves out there who never got the same opportunity he did. That he was truly the exception and it was because Albus planned to use him from the very beginning. Remus recognising he was instilled with this sense of debt towards dumbledore, Remus becoming disillusioned with Dumbledore and started seeing him for what he really was. Looking at the man they'd all followed in blind faith and wondered where the hell it got them and questioning if he was even worth following. Remus taking the job in POA not only because he needs the money, but because he wants to keep a closer eye, knowing that harry was under Dumbledore's care. Because he knew firsthand that at the end of the day Dumbledore's protection wasn't worth that much.
(in their fifth year, James just learned how cars work in muggle study)
James: Hey Evans, if you were in a car and me and Sirius were in front of you, what would you hit?
Lily: You, definitely.
James: Have you seriously not heard that one before? You hit the break, stupid.
Lily: No, Iāve heard that joke before, I just wanna hit you with a car.
*sirius and james having a discussion in the afterlife*
james: he named his kid albus severus, ALBUS FUCKING SEVERUS!!
sirius: youāre kidding.
james: iām dead serious.
sirius: noā¦iām dead sirius, youāre dead james.
james: sirius is about to come home from his third date any minute now.
regulus: third date? with the same guy? did he talk during the first two?
james: yeah no, iām as shocked as you are.
james: *holding up his smudged glasses* reg, darling, can you get me something to clean my glasses with?
regulus: sure. *stands up and walks over to sirius, rips his shirt off his back, and gives the torn piece to james*
james: *cleaning his glasses* thank you, my love.
sirius: what did i ever do to you?
remus: *pulling out a list* i thought youād never ask.
more jegulus and their struggle with french <3
regulus: are you done practicing?
james: yes! iāve memorized what to say to sirius this time.
regulus: right, go on then.
james: tu esā¦a dĆŗmmyā¦?
regulus: *facepalming* bĆŖte.
sirius and remus texting:
sirius: i love you, stay safe! <33
remus: will do, i love you too abby. <3
remus: baby*
*sirius black is typingā¦*
remus: oh god, here we go againā¦
the marauders are at a party.
sirius: *shit-faced drunk, dancing horribly on a table.*
remus: *sighing* love is blind.
james: *also shit-faced drunk, singing horribly on a makeshift stage.*
regulus: *facepalming* love is also deafā¦tone-deaf.
*at james and regulusā wedding*
everyone: aw, look at sirius, heās gone to the back, heās probably crying.
sirius: *dancing his little heart out because he no longer has to deal with jamesā snoring or regulusā 3 am epiphanies.*
the marauders (and their incorrect quotes writer) are very engrossed in the depp heard trial.
everyone here is team depp! (you might wanna check on snivvy though, he might be team heard. but hey! you didnāt hear it from us!)
regulus: care to explain what happened pour moi?
james: uh- oui oui, so i had a little too much café on an empty túmmy, so i had a - how do you say - panique attaque.
