Sanctuary

Introducing Remus Lupin, a self-hating, half-blood werewolf who hasn't experienced human touch for six years; Sirius Black, a rebellious pureblood who doesn't know how it feels to be loved; Peter Pettigrew, an anxious halfblood with a dark past who just wants to be accepted; and James Potter, a mischievous pureblood with more love in his heart than he knows what to do with. You think you know how their story goes, but when people talk about their childhoods, they aren't always accurate. Perspective, emotions, and time distort their memories. They leave things out, sometimes they lie, and sometimes they're simply wrong.

This is the true story of the Marauders, following their lives through Hogwarts and beyond. An epic tale of boundless friendship, abundant mischief, and eternal love, spanning twenty years, from Remus and Sirius' first meeting in 1965 until their happily ever after.

The story complies with the facts of canon until after the events of Halloween 1981 when it takes a major diversion, but anything that was solely a character's opinion/belief may have been reinterpreted, and it's told from the POVs of Remus and Sirius through first-year, with more POVs joining in from second-year onwards.
