"WE don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering; these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love; these are what we stay alive for. . ." John Keating,Dead Poets Society

August Darlington II has never found the world all that thrilling, exciting to an individual's mind. It's all sharp twists and bends: controlled by people like his parents, the torturous idea of having a social status within society (because the population is under the premise that, that material shit actually matters) and flat out rejection of all the things that don't suit nuclear families.
However, there are few things in the world that August finds thrilling. Like old poetry books he can clutch between his bruise-riddled hands, or the green specs of oil paint caked underneath the nails of Malia's fingers that match Lily's eyes. August seeks the thrill within rebellion. Call him pretentious or snobby; but art, that's the shit that matters. It's the only sense of reality that August can find in the unforgiving darkness of his family. The same darkness that places the entire weight of the world on his back. The name, Darlington. He can reach for poetry, and writing, grasp it tightly in his fingers and pull it apart piece by piece, and put it back together like a perfect puzzle.
But one puzzle he hasn't quite figured out, is Sirius Black and his enchantingly silver eyes.

DISCLAIMERS: Welcome to my latest impulse post! So, of course this is based on Dead Poets Society, and I do not own that so all rights them. Same with the Marauders obviously, so unfortunately I have to give JKR credits for that. But August, Malia and Theodora's storylines are all mine! Please don't steal them. This deals with being gay/bisexual in the 70s so please keep that in mind when reading this. Also a heck ton of smoking. So like, don't do that. Smoking kills.
DEDICATION: This is dedicated to victorsvale because Taryn, you're the most encouraging and kind person I've met and I'm super thankful for your support. Thank you for letting me have the full braincell so I could come up with this idea. And for listening to my ideas at unholy times of the day. You get the braincell next time, I promise. I'd also like to thank winchhester, starscolliiide and coffeewithmira for supporting me too, and just being very loving and kind. I love all of you very much!
