Étiquette : peter pettigrew

one of the funniest thing in the marauders fandom is to watch people trying to imagine what young peter pettigrew was like

“okay so what do we know about him ?”

“he betrayed his friends”

“well then obviously he must have been a terrible person since the very beggining. what else ?”

“he… was a bit fat ?”

“okay so food was all he loved in life. good.”

“… that’s it ? no more characterization ?”

“nah, asshole who loves food, that’s all we need”

you know what ? let’s imagine the marauders in afterlife.

afterlife is supposed to be forever, right ?

james is here. sirius is here. lily is here. remus is here.

you know who else is here ?

peter.

peter is stucked forever in the same place as the people he betrayed.

who used to be his best friends.

how do you think that would go ?

do they just stay in different corners of afterlife forever ?

do they come in contact after like, 2134 years of afterlife ?

do they at some point forgive him ?

and i know you’re all saying “whaaaaaat no he betrayed them” and maybe you’re right who knows BUT

remus forgave sirius for betraying his secret to severus snape of all people

so after a lot and a lot and a lot of time and apologies and explainations, why not peter ?

( @jilylicious it seemed like this would interest you. also sorry i’m writing this really fast and am bad at explaining but you have the main idea )

hc : at some point all the marauders had a crush on james. james included.

sirius bc he was the symbol of his freedom and rebellion, who was everything he dreamt to be ( loving family, happy, … )
remus bc he was the tolerant and loving person who accepted everyone and just didn’t care if you were different ( that was in first year, before they discovered his secret and he was just imagining their hypotetical reactions )
and peter bc james included him in the cool band and made him feel special

dream cast

okay so if you don’t know yet i’m french and there is that french movie called “the children of timplebach” which is about a town where the parents left the children alone and MERLIN IT HAS THE PERFECT CAST FOR THE MARAUDERS

see that nerd with long hair ? he’s the most dramatic dude in here. at the some point he says “now he are left alone with our fate” and he always want to be the centre of attention

if this isn’t a great sirius black, well then i know nothing

and this redhair girl ? she won’t take any man bullshit. she can and will kick your ass and if you bully someone she’ll fucking destroy you and then take care of the poor kid like a mother

also she rejected her crush because he used to be an arrogant bullying toerag but got with him when she saw we really was a good guy

hello lily evans you are so freaking cool

well, this kid has no other personnality trait than his love for food, which is exactly how the marauders fandom is portraying peter. not a lot to say about him

this cutie ? he cannot speak, and he has a chronical illness ( lycanthropy modern translation hello ? ) and he won’t ever ask for help, which is both is biggest quality and his worst flaw, but he won’t let you tell him he’s disabled and he’s a shy nerd soooo remus lupin

we unfortunately have no james :/ sorry about that

what they saw in the mirror of erised

james : himself, old but still healthy, surrounded by his children and lily at his side, laughing. the marauders are here laughing too, sirius ruffling his hair and probably making fun of them. everyone has a large smile and feel close.
remus : himself, but his scars are gone. his clothes are tidy and look new, his prefect badge still on his robes. sirius is holding his hand and they are staring lovingly at each other
sirius : the marauders all together, chatting and laughing. they are all happy, the heaviness of the war and their trials is gone. they are who they are supposed to be, carefree teenagers with nothing to worry about except but their exams and homeworks
peter : himself, but not quite. he’s taller, and thiner, a bit athletic. he seems more confident too, and is it a hickey on his neck ?
regulus : his whole family, including sirius, is here, but they aren’t fighting. in fact, they seem to be talking and enjoying to be together. he notices there is nothing on anyone’s forearm

none of these ever became true

all the marauders are trans.

as i promised you…

original idea from @siriusqueerionblack who has an amazing blog

warning : i’m cis so if i said anything offensive or innacurate please message me and i’ll fix it right away.

  • remus figured out it was time he told his friends.
  • after all, they had been completly acceptant about his lycanthropy when they had found out one year ago, so why not about that ?
  • so he decided he would tell them, and he felt confident about their reactions.
  • it happened friday evening, and they were working on the map, when he cleared his throat and asked them if they could listen to him for a second.
  • the marauders shifted in “confidence position”, which meant all sitted on the bed of the one who wanted to talk, james holding him by the shoulder.
  • he started to be very nervous, but when he saw sirius comforting grin, he started to talk :
  • “guys, i know it probobly doesn’t matter to you all, but i wanted you to know that i’m transgender.”
  • he feeled better as soon as he said it. but as he glanced at the marauders, he realized they are all frozen in shock and his enthiusiasm dies in his stomach.
  • no one says anything for a minute, and remus breaks down and starts to ask them why they aren’t saying anything and if they hate for this, because if he is not at all insecure about it he is afraid his friends will throw him out of the dorm.
  • but james laughes a bit and says “no, moony, i’m sorry, sorry if we scared you. it’s just that…”
  • and he hugs remus very hard and announce “i’m trans too.”
  • and remus just stares at him and he is too surprised to do anything so he just hugs him back and laughes a bit because what the hell is this coincidence ?
  • but they are interrumpted by peter who whispered “you gotta be kidding me…”
  • and james turns to him and asks him if anything’s wrong with that, slightly aggresive. but peter just opens his mouth and shouts “me. fucking. too.”
  • and this time they all burst out lauging because this is crazy, but so cool.
  • so james turns to sirius and says “look at that, sirius, you’re the only cis in the room.”
  • and sirius blushes and mumbles “well… actually…” and he joins what will be remembered as the Super Trans Hug of Third Year
  • so the marauders are officially all trans, and you can’t expect them to just ignore this.
  • first, there are the puns.
  • a monday night in the dorm : “remus can you help me with my trans-figuration homeworks ?” “sorry pete i already have a trans-lation to do in ancient runes” “any one can name me three muggles means of trans-port ? it’s for muggles studies”
  • and those are the good ones
  • because everytime james is back from quidditch practice, he is greeted by “go take a shower, james, you smell like trans-piration !”
  • and of course it doesn’t stop with the puns.
  • that won’t be very marauder.
  • that means that when lily told james not to be a dick, sirius bursted in from nowhere and exclaimed “oh honey i can assure you there is no dick here”
  • and then walk around the castle with james yelling that no one here’s a dick
  • he still refers to it sometimes. he is way too proud of it, according to remus.
  • but of course trans marauders also mean that there will be a “punishment prank” everytime a pure blood will use sirius’s dead name or the wrong pronouns
  • but only after a Special Night Of Comfort Against Dysphoria, involving hot chocolate and stupid games and embarassing stories and soppy comfort lines.
  • it’s during those nights they practiced binding charms together and learned how to prepare an hormonal potion
  • and they always little references to their transgenderism in public, but noboby understands what they mean and is very confused
  • for example : there is a reason the marauders started to call sirius “pads” and it’s not the short for “padfoot”
  • basically trans marauders being super supportive of each other and really cute.

the marauders’ favorite clothes

obviously sirius’ is his leather jacket. i really like the hc that it was remus who bought him for his birthday, but that’s not the only reason. it’s the very solid proof of his punkrockness and rebellion. he would have tons of pins, from bands and against discrimination ( not only blood predjudices but also sexism, homophobia, racism, etc… ). once james spilled his pumpkin juice on it and sirius fucking cried.

remus’s is not ( surprise ! ) a jumper. it’s his old gryffindor scarf. of course the guys call him a nerd when he says that, but it’s true. it’s the symbol of his humanity. it’s a normal item, that everyone has, and therefore makes him feel normal. it’s also the reminder that despite the discriminative laws, he was able to go to hogwarts and find friends.

peter’s is his acdc’s tshirt that he got at a concert he went with sirius. neither james nor remus could go so they had a good time together, and peter didn’t feel like he was less of a marauder than the others.

and james’s is, of fucking course, his quidditch uniform. he secretely wears it on weekend, when no one is watching. in seventh year, he learns that lily secretely loves it too and he starts wearing it just for her.
