hellooooo 💜💜

so. its an itty bitty oneshot with the potential to be more where im basically trying to explore an AU where snape’s sectumsempra (that he used on james in swm) does more than just create a gash. we know it’s a dangerous spell, what if it did to james what say, harry had done to draco? or snape to george’s ear?

what if it killed him?

now, snape is not that important here. he fucks up, kills a classmate yes. but what about sirius, the other half of james’ soul? how does he deal with the aftermath of something like this? especially considering this is 5th year when he’s already fucked up wrt his family and everything—probably the peak of his hormonal emotions and all as well. he already has a low opinion of snape and this incident would just tip it into blind rage, no?

idk. just. interested in a world without james for sirius and how that would affect him (after all my soapboxes on how i think james and his unconditional acceptance was extremely important to sirius’ growth arc, and making his rough edges smoother etc etc)
