Summary
“They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
“Rock and roll.”
He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
“Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.
(genuinely not apologising for the slow-burn in this fic anymore. You've been warned <3)

Summary
Marlene McKinnon is a mess. She can’t sleep, she’s almost certainly going to fail all her NEWTs, and she’s 99% sure that if they don’t win the Quidditch Cup this year James Potter will throw himself headfirst off the Astronomy Tower. On top of all that, there’s a war on, yet their professors seem determined to pretend that the biggest problem any of them are facing is finding a Ministry internship. Marlene’s final year at Hogwarts has barely started, and she’s already pretty sure it couldn’t get any worse—that is, until she shows up for her first Potions class and hears the assignment.
///
Dorcas Meadowes is a stone-cold bitch. At least, that’s what everyone says. She doesn’t need well-meaning professors or overeager classmates or teammates or boyfriends or friends. She doesn’t need anything except to be left alone, the way she likes, until the day she finally leaves school. And she certainly doesn’t need Marlene McKinnon, with her sharp tongue and her snorting laugh and her stupid shiny hair, who seems intent on ruining everything that Dorcas has been working towards for the past two years.PLEASE DON'T POST MY FICS ON GOODREADS/STORYGRAPHS/ETC.

Summary
No one, it turns out, really knows one another.
(OR: all it takes is a summer-long holiday in Italy, James Potter's teetering mental stability, a secret relationship, friends with benefits, Marlene’s secret, and enough stupidity and insecurity to go around for everything to come crashing down around them.)

Summary
Sirius get's given a wrong number, Remus definitely isn't being sarcastic, and they should probably agree to stay strangers...
*
Rated M for a lot of language, some sexual content but nothing too explicit, mainly jokes/flirting.
Any TWs should be listed at the start of chapter notes, please let me know if I ever miss anything, but this is a safe fic, bar some minor Walburga angst.

Summary
James snorts. “I’d rather be murdered by a serial killer than have feelings for one.”
“He’s killed people?”
James doesn’t really know, to be honest. The Black family is a high-rolling crime syndicate at this point, shoddily disguised as a media conglomerate. He's not sure how much of a role Regulus plays since he’s still in university, but as soon as he graduates, he’ll take his rightful place in that den of vipers.
And one day, he will own it.
“The simplest answer is no," he sighs.
***
Nothing brings people together more viscerally than mutual hatred. Regulus Black would know.
Or the fic in which Regulus Black, after two years of estrangement from one meddlesome Sirius Black, agrees to accompany his brother and his brother’s horrible friends on a one-week vacation at a cabin in rural Norway, all in the glorious name of hatred (or is it love?).
