Note
about the fic and the author:alright lads, welcome to the kingdom of slytherin!! this is my first marauders fic (and my first fic on AO3) and in general consider myself a baby to the fandom! I had a brief stint as a roleplayer back in middle school and have been writing intermittently since then, but I'm quite rusty. If anything is amiss or inaccurate or you all have any suggestions (any beta readers in chat??) please let me know <3 this is all for fun!that being said, I do want to explore some darker themes like power dynamics, politics, complicated relationships (especially between siblings), and … I'm sorry… main character death. I love writing angst and am so excited to get over the set up so we can get to the real meat of the story! I will do my best to label each chapter with proper spoiler free warnings at the beginning of each chapter, and if you would like more specific warnings that may contain spoilers, I will have those at the end of each chapter. however!! we will get a lot of humor and happiness and romance (of course) and many some of the characters will go on to live happily ever after and stuff. (this is an incomplete fic after all - who says I am not swayed by the court of public opinion!)I do try to write chapters in advance and have a TENTATIVE goal of updating weekly! and with that, enjoy!
