Valkyrie

"Mary Macdonald never wanted to fight. Not like she had much of a choice, anyway."The First Wizarding War, 1978. Quietly, a team of witches is assembled as part of the resistance movement against Voldemort and his blood-purist agenda. Four years later, they are disbanded, their stories lost to time and buried in graves. Those that remain are so badly damaged that they cannot even go back to those memories.Despite the loss, there was still love. There was friendship and romance and family and camaraderie. They were alive, they were real.They were the Valkyries.And at its core, from the beginning, was the love between Mary Macdonald and Hestia Jones.These are their stories.(or: what if there was a secret, all-woman team within the Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War?)

howdy everybody! this is my first fic in the marauders fandom (we don't talk about the old stuff) and i'm so excited to be sharing it with you. having been a marauders fan since 2020, i've sat by and observed the fandom grow and shift. i'm a quiet observer, but i've decided to throw my hat in the ring!i really wanted to provide a fic following the women of the marauders era, who are so often overlooked and yet have so much potential in the right hands. i hope i can be those right hands :)this will be a LONG fic, if my outline proves correct, spanning from 1976 to roughly 2015. my current goal is to give each notable month a chapter, and doing multiple perspectives and flashbacks within that. i want to do these women justice, i promise. even if it seems like one character has been neglected, please just know that they're getting their own arc in due time. some of these women have real tricks up their sleeves. i love them all dearly, and i hope you do too.quick side note: apologies if the writing feels weird at times. i'm still a burgeoning novelist (working on my own novel), so this is a fun side project i have going on for myself. i really love this world (fuck jkr), and i have so much to say that goes even beyond just these characters. i'll be uploading whenever i can, but hopefully consistently during the rest of the summer before the school year begins.
