( . ⚯ ͛.ᐟ ) 𝑩𝑨𝑩𝒀𝑫𝑶𝑳𝑳 ⸻ 𝑗𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟 Syria Black was never meant to be anything more than Sirius Black's shadow - the quieter twin, the one who survived six years at Hogwarts by staying useful to Severus Snape's circle and invisible to everyone else. She had no loyalties worth dying for, no wars worth fighting, and that suited her perfectly. Then James Potter decided she was worth noticing, and Syria made the catastrophic mistake of noticing him back. What follows is not a love story she gets to keep - James belongs to a different girl, a different future, a son neither of them can yet imagine - but it is the story of how a girl who refused to choose a side finally understood that silence is also a choice. Threaded underneath, almost quietly enough to miss: Marcus Narres, the fifth Marauder, falling into Monika Woodrow's orbit the way people do during wars - without permission, without a plan. Some stories are about the people history remembers. This one is about everyone else. 𝑏𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑘 𝑓𝑒𝑚 𝑜𝑐 𝑥 𝑗𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑝𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟 @-dreamIands//2026

Not so much because she didn't like the role, but because, after the sudden breakup with her ex, she knew she would find solace either in acting or in her old childhood friend: Joseph Zada. She doesn't yet know that the summer of 2025 will be the one in which she will rediscover love. And not just for her but for both of them 𝐽𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑝ℎ 𝑍𝑎𝑑𝑎 𝑥 𝑓𝑒𝑚 𝑜𝑐 ©-priscillasdream // 2025

Not so much because she didn't love him - she did, in that complicated, bone-deep way that only people who have survived the same things together can love each other - but because she knew, from the moment she was old enough to understand what the Shelby name meant in Birmingham, that being his sister would cost her something she hadn't yet learned to name. And what, against every odd, she will find in return. 𝑠ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑏𝑦 𝑓𝑒𝑚 𝑜𝑐 𝑥 𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑦 𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠 @-dreamIands//2026
