Orchid Evans was not supposed to exist.
Unfortunately for fate, she does.
Lily Evans' fraternal twin is many things: a menace, a menace enabler, suspiciously good at lying to professors, and-much to Lily's everlasting dismay-basically a fifth Marauder. Armed with a sharp tongue, zero self-preservation, and the deeply unfair advantage of knowing exactly how the future is meant to go, Orchid is determined to keep the story on track just enough not to break it... while quietly making sure the people she loves actually live long enough to get a happy ending.
Which would be much easier if Sirius Black would stop being so Sirius Black about everything.
Between James Potter pining after Lily, Remus Lupin trying to preserve what remains of everyone's sanity, Peter Pettigrew being far more dangerous than anyone realizes, and an impending war Orchid knows is coming, Hogwarts is rapidly becoming less of a school and more of a very badly supervised disaster zone.
Orchid has a plan. Sort of.
Step one: become indispensable to the Marauders.
Step two: subtly rewrite fate.
Step three: absolutely do not fall in love with Sirius Black.
Step three, unfortunately, is not going well.
