Summary
Long (mostly) canon-compliant fic exploring Sirius' and Walburga's relationship
Note
OKAY, OKAY—before we begin, a little chat! <3This fic will (hopefully) be a long one! We’re starting with Sirius as a child and following him through his life. As you might expect, things will get heavy—he’s going through a lot (abusive family, war, all the canon-compliant horrors). I’ll update the tags as we go and include content warnings before each chapter when needed.Expect a lot of the Marauders at Hogwarts (yay!), which means various romantic relationships—some you might love, some… maybe not so much. But at its core, this story is about Sirius and Walburga. Their relationship is the whole reason i'm writing this fic, and I’m doing my best to do it justice.DISCLAIMERS:- English is my second language—thank you for bearing with me!- Sirius is a product of his upbringing, and it will show (even when we hate him for it).CW for this chapter:- Dissociation- Physical abuse (brief scene)Huge THANK YOU to my amazing beta readers, @canismajorspads (TikTok) and @chaoticwordsmith (TikTok & AO3). You are both irreplaceable, and I wouldn’t want to do this without you. <3And finally—CAPITAL FUCK JKR.Enjoy! xx
