𝓐quarius irma black knew that all too well. she was everything her parents wanted her to be: poised, intelligent, and fiercely loyal to the family name. she fought to protect her brothers, from the crushing weight of their family, even if it meant sacrificing pieces of herself. her life was carefully controlled, her emotions tucked neatly behind a cool, collected exterior.

then came james fleamont potter, with his reckless charm and gryffindor ideals, turning her carefully guarded world upside down. he wasn't supposed to make her laugh. he wasn't supposed to see past the mask. and he certainly wasn't supposed to make her feel like she could be something other than a black.

as tensions rise between the houses, within her family, and inside her own heart, aquarius finds herself pulled in every direction-toward her brothers, her friends, and the one boy who seems determined to unravel her.

after all, it was never easy loving a black.

Trouble ━⊱⋆⊰━ James Potter by twistedmind7

She was born in shadow. He was born in light. And somewhere between bloodlines and rebellion, they found each other. Diana Yaxley is everything a Pureblood daughter shouldn't be-defiant, sharp-tongued, quietly burning with a hunger for something beyond her family's twisted legacy. Raised in the cold halls of Yaxley Manor, she learns early that obedience is survival, and softness is weakness. James Potter is everything she's been taught to hate-loud, brave, half-mad with Gryffindor fire. The boy who laughs too easily. Who questions everything. Who sees her, even when she tries to disappear. Diana Yaxley was never meant to wear scarlet and gold. Cursed with a name and bloodline she never asked for, she defied fate-and ended up in Gryffindor. James Potter is loud, golden, and maddeningly in love with her. And Diana? Diana hates him. But Hogwarts has its own plans. A story of fire, legacy, and the war within. Enemies to lovers. Dark pasts. Magic. Blood. Fate.

The noble and most ancient house of Black are notorious for being among the wealthiest, pure-blooded wizards in history. Although Lyra looked like a Black - what with her long black hair, regal features, and cloudy gray eyes - well, that is about where the similarities stop. Sorted into Hufflepuff her first year at Hogwarts, she leaned into the version of herself that was everything her parents despised. What will happen when she faces a crossroad that will change her life forever? Will her loyalties lie with her twin brother Regulus? Or will her strong moral compass lead her to run away with Sirius to the Potters, who have continuously reached out their hand to her? ⋇⋆✦⋆⋇ Mulciber lay on the corridor floor, hands covering his nose that was leaking blood at an alarming rate.

All The Things We Burn For by SukiPu

Remus Lupin x OC // Marauder's Era - Book I Some wars are waged in silence. Some loves are built in fire. Artemis Black was never meant to survive this long. A daughter of a cursed house, a sister torn between shadows, and a girl who refuses to kneel - she's been many things at once, but never safe. With the war creeping into the walls of Hogwarts and loyalties unraveling like old spells, Artemis walks a razor-thin line between the people she loves and the secrets she keeps. Remus Lupin sees more than he says. Haunted by a monster he never asked to be and drawn to a girl he's not supposed to trust, he knows danger when it wears a familiar face - and yet, he reaches anyway. This is a story of stolen glances and forbidden letters. Of betrayal, forgiveness, and the spaces between. Of a brother's guilt, a friend's silence, and a war that demands too much too soon. It's a slow burn. Not every spark is welcome. But some fires are worth the ruin. Marauders-era. Angst, found family, and love that doesn't come easy - but lingers, quietly, until it's ready to burn.

devotion | regulus black by eremition

― "I love you more than life itself," ― Althea Potter had always been a light. Where James burned wild and reckless, she glowed warm and steady, drawing people in with her laughter, her kindness, and her stubborn belief that everyone carried a spark worth loving. She was the sister who brightened shadows, the girl who never let anyone feel unseen. Regulus Black, on the other hand, was born of shadows. Cold where she was warm, distant where she was tender, sharp where she was soft-he was a boy sculpted by duty, drowning beneath the weight of a name that demanded silence, obedience, sacrifice. They were opposites, orbiting each other in disdain. She saw him as cruel and unfeeling, and he saw her as naïve and foolish. Yet the world has a way of binding the unwilling, and war makes strange companions of enemies. Slowly, through whispered arguments and stolen glances, Althea discovered the boy beneath the mask, and Regulus found himself yearning for the light he had spent his life rejecting. But love in times of war is fragile. It does not always save. Sometimes it destroys, quietly, beautifully, tragically. And when the end came-as it always would-they both learned that hatred can turn to love, and love can burn into something fiercer still. Something unshakable. Something eternal. Something that could only be called devotion. ☽｡⋆

In which James Potters whole idea of life is flipped on its head when he meets Estelle for the first time.

Till Forever Falls Apart by Lil_Dreamer_12

In the shadows of war, beneath stolen glances and whispered promises, James Potter and Aurora Black love fiercely- only to be torn apart by fate. ~~~ Or in which Sirius Black has a sister and James Potter finds his one true love. "They were... well, star-crossed doesn't even begin to cover it," Sirius said, swirling his coffee absentmindedly. "She was a Slytherin, and he was Gryffindor's golden boy. But it wasn't just that. It was the war, the world-it was everything stacked against them." "If there's a world where we meet again, James, I'll wait for you there." James Potter x OC

Madness | R.Black by AceM1231

Elara June Lupin was the beacon of light in her family - full of laughter, wildflowers in her hair, and a heart that burned like the summer sun. She was brightness and bravery, the kind of girl who believed in hope even when the world told her not to. Regulus Black was the Slytherin Prince - cold-eyes and silver-tongued, all sharp edges and secrets. A boy raised on pure-blood legacy and quiet survival, with a future that was already carved into stone. When they're paired together in fifth-year Potions, everyone expects the worst - light and shadow rarely mix. But slowly, between simmering cauldrons and late-night study sessions, something shifts. A glance held too long. A lingered touch of hands. A truth shared in the dark. As the world around them begins to fracture under the weight of a growing war, Elara and Regulus are forced to choose: loyalty to the names they were born with, or the love that defies it all. Because sometimes, the brightest stars burn out too soon. And sometimes, love is the most dangerous rebellion of all.

Snivellus' sister by MaliaMalfoyWeasley

(Re-editing) It's clear that Severus Snape has never been great friends with the chaotic group known as the marauders but when his twin sister must be moved to Hogwarts from Beauxbatons in her fifth year for her own safety, the group take a sudden interest in the mysterious girl. One Marauder in particular, Sirius Black. With Snape keeping a protective eye over her surely nothing bad was going to happen... At least that's what he'd hope.

The Exiled Malfoy by celeste_ox

"I apologise, Miss Malfoy." The hat said only to her before it shouted out, "Gryffindor!" for the rest of the hall to hear. Professors and students were shocked when Sirius Black was placed in Gryffindor, but to have a Malfoy join him? That was unheard of. Shock rippled through the room as Cordelia walked to the Gryffindor table with her head low. Out of all the houses, Gryffindor was her last choice. If she'd been put in Ravenclaw, maybe even Hufflepuff, her parents might've understood... But Gryffindor? She was a dead witch standing. -------------------- Marauder's Era fanfic OCxOC RemusxSirius JamesxLily slow updates (sorry) *cover image is from Pinterest* -------------------- Highest Rankings: #1 in remusxsirius #1 in wizardingwar #2 in snape #2 in malfoyfamily #3 in themarauders #8 in pureblood

Unrelenting Fate: A Marauders Era AU by ViennaMalcom

James, Sirius and Remus were shocked when Peter walked calmly towards the Ravenclaw table, but they were even more shocked when instead of being ignored, he was greeted warmly by not only Royan Chase, Head Boy and Ravenclaw quidditch captain, but two beautiful girls. ************* Adelaide Harthwood enjoyed the shy Gryffindor boy's sweet nature and kind smile. It was refreshing compared to the arrogance that floated around Potter and Black. ************* When their paths cross and James Potter is awed by the fiery Ravenclaw girl, he doesn't know what to do or say. But when James has something (or someone) on his mind, he is unrelenting. And as fate would have it, so is Adelaide. -------- I am writing this just for fun, so if you don't like my ships or character changes then don't read.

All The Things We Rise From by SukiPu

Remus Lupin x OC // Marauder's Era - Book II All The Things We Rise From Some grief is quiet. Some choices are louder than war. The war has begun - not with a bang, but with disappearances, lies, and names whispered in fear. Hogwarts is no longer safe, and neither are the people Artemis Black loves. Torn between loyalty and survival, Artemis walks deeper into the shadows she once tried to escape. Alongside Remus, she learns what it means to fight for something - and what it costs to lose it. But as secrets unravel and lines blur, even love begins to fracture under the weight of what they cannot save. Sirius Black is arrested for a crime he didn't commit. Regulus vanishes into the dark. And Artemis? She keeps going. Because someone has to. Remus is older now. Quieter. Still haunted - but this time, by what he might lose, not what he already has. As the war pulls them apart and back together, he and Artemis must decide whether love is something you protect... or something you let burn, if it means lighting the way forward. This is a story of second chances and final losses. Of letters unsent, wounds unspoken, and a war that leaves nothing untouched. Of a girl who never wanted to be a hero - and became one anyway. The fire didn't end them. But rising from it might.

Living with the Marauders (Remus Lupin x Reader) [Book 1] {COMPLETED} by Fangirlnia221B

"Whatcha arguing about there, girls?" "Your dear sister here has a little crush." "I don't." "Your Gryffindor supporting cheeks tell me otherwise." ☆•★•☆ If there was anything (y/n) knew, it was that the Black twins weren't people to mess with. How did she know this? She was one of them. In fact, (y/n) knew a lot of things. For one, she knew that neither her or Sirius would ever be welcome in the Black household ever again. Secondly, she knew that if she studied hard enough, she could pass her NEWTs with flying colours and third, she knew that finally, her best friend Lily Evans had developed feelings for James Potter. Fourth, she knew that she could probably get on the quidditch team this year with James as captain and finally, she knew that Peter had been the first Marauder to apologise to Snivellus. What she didn't know, however, was why she wanted to spend more time with Remus all of a sudden... [top rank: #1 remusxreader December 2018] Remastered on @cherrywine_x : completed!!

Starlight Muse - Regulus Black by lovemazz_star

Esmee Potter has never lived up to the Potter name-and she prefers it that way. While her brother James basks in the spotlight, all charm and Gryffindor pride, Esmee walks her own path: quieter, sharper, and far more dangerous. She's not out to save the world. She's out to survive it-on her own terms. But when she crosses paths with Regulus Black-misunderstood, cunning, and tangled in the dark threads of his family's legacy-her carefully built walls begin to crack. They're from different worlds, enemies by blood and house, yet drawn to each other by something neither of them can explain. As darkness rises inside and outside Hogwarts, Esmee must decide who she wants to be: the girl who hides in the shadows, or the rebel who's willing to risk everything-even her heart-for the wrong boy. She's not James Potter's sister. She's something else entirely. And he sees it. *I do NOT own these characters except Esmee Potter and my other OCs*
