#dorlene fluff

Because CR and the Christmas season as a marauders fan has really provided me with enough angst for a lifetime.

Fluffy fic recs???

"i'm cold," marlene said, skipping stones at the black lake.

"take mine." dorcas unwrapped the green scarf and holds it out, gently, for marlene to grab. she looks at it, and scrunched her nose.

"it's slytherin." she grinned, and dorcas rolled their eyes.

“hey look, its you, marls” murmured Dorcas, pointing up at the sky.

“what d’ya mean its me, its just a sunset.” 

Dorcas giggled. ( much to Marlene’s surprise. who knew that Ice Queen Meadows had it in her to giggle?) 

“it reminds me of you” she murmured again as she snuggled in to Marlene's shoulder. “Big and bold and beautiful. Filling up the world with light as if night will never come.”

Dorcas : just how did he even end up like that?

Marlene *proud* aunt: I have no idea, Cas. I had my face in the fireplace convincing Regulus that their child is not on a broom again.

*Harry laughing dangling in the air in the middle of the room*

Dorcas: he is floating in the air, love, he's 2, how is he even flying? I didn't even know we can fly.

Marlene stood up instantly, dropping the flower she had picked for them.

"Nice. You look that. Nice, I mean."

Dorcas raised an eyebrow.

"Like a muffin. No not like a muffin, just the attractiveness of you is on par with a muffin. I'm not attracted to muffins but I mean the taste of them. No that sounds weird."

Dorcas laughed, "I look like a muffin?"

"No! You look- So- It's good, you're good. I mean, Well done. Why am I saying well done? You look", Marlene stuck her thumbs up.

"I get what you mean", Dorcas said, smiling and walking down the remaining stairs to kiss Marlene.

"And you look like every gem on earth, every shimmer of beauty and radiance, every sunset and sunrise that has ever been. A goddess of the rays of light, that mortals could only dream of. You're beauty is beyond human capability, beyond universal understanding. You're a darling of charm and allure."

Marlene frowned, "you're trying to show off aren't you?"

Dorcas smiled, "Of course I am, but every word is still true."

tw; misgendering

~let’s start with dorcas

~okay so i hc dorcas as trans (mtf) and it’s a hill from which you cant drag me down

~had the most supportive and loving parents ever

~she figured it out around around late 2nd year, somewhere around 12-13, and started transitioning around 13

~third year, she moved into the girls’ dorms

~and guess which dorm she moved into

~lily, alice and marlene’s

~so yes, they were roommates

~i also feel like she was the absolute best at braiding hair

~the others could never really nail it the way she could- absolute perfect braids that’d stay in place forever

~but she never braided her own hair because it was too short and curly (though there was that one time in fifth year she got cornrows), so everyone was left wondering where on earth she learnt it from

~(she taught herself after watching her own mother)

~and in late, whiskey hazed nights with marlene, as they were both barely awake, she’d find herself making small, messy braids in marlene’s bleached blonde hair

~i have feels

~awesome at quidditch, but wasn’t interested in the team

~it did, however, mean makeout sessions way up and lost between the trees

~(marlene absolutely did not almost faint and end up falling into a tree the first time)

~little spoon, and loves cuddles though she doesn’t seem like it

~sometimes she’ll bury her head in marlene’s chest, and marlene will take that as a sign to pull her even closer til the lines between them start to blur

~doesn’t get jealous easily, cause she knows marlene is loyal

~and oh is there so much to dig in on marlene

~like every other marauders stan out there, i believe her first kiss was sirius

~it was at a time that she wasn’t too secure with herself, or maybe just trying to figure it all out

~so in third year, she asked him out

~sirius was so shocked and confused, but after some coaxing from james, he eventually agreed

~neither of their gay asses them knew what to do next

~they went on a couple of dates, and started growing really close

~but it was sirius who cracked first, during their first kiss- it was awkward and neither of them knew what to do

~he’d pulled away immediately, and she could see in his eyes that he didn’t like this at all

~they both knew they were gay in that moment

~the two confessed it to each other then and there

~and swore to keep the others’ secret

~coincidentally, that was the year that dorcas moved over to her dorm room

~so many close encounters, where marlene was ranting all about it to a very amused lily, and suddenly shut up as dorcas appeared from the doorway

~it was around fifth year, after sirius and remus’d gotten together that dorcas finally plucked up the courage to spill her feelings out

~she did it over a letter

~leaving it on marlene’s bed early in the morning, before quietly disappearing to the quidditch pitch to burn off her nervousness

~marlene cried when she read it

~it’s almost like she knew where dorcas was, because before she knew it, she was running out desperately, struggling to hop in a hurry as she pulled her shoes on

~it was freezing

~but that warm feeling was taking over her slowly, from her heart to her fingertips

~she spotted dorcas high up and lost in the mist, and dorcas could recognise those bleached waves from anywhere

~it was around then that the best kiss either of them had ever felt- by miles- had occured

All dialogue. Should I do a part 2?

“Okay,” Marlene says. She’s sitting crossed-legged in the floor, her head resting on Sirius’ legs, wearing an oversized shirt and absolutely nothing else underneath. Above her, Sirius smirks, the smug expression of knowing you were hot plastered all over his face. “We need your help.”

Dorcas rolls her eyes. “Oh sorry. Are you two a thing? Let me just go and remove my sex toys from Marlene’s bedroom then - “

Remus just sighs as Sirius bends over, plants an exaggeratedly sloppy kiss on Marlene’s cheek. “Did you really call us up here just so we can watch you make out?”

“I mean,” Dorcas cuts in, “I’m all for wild, steaming hot foursomes but you should have at least told me beforehand.”

Marlene sighs, unfolding her legs. Her hair is done up in braids, reaching almost to her waist, streaks of blonde and white. “We need you two to pretend you’re dating.”

Remus would have felt vaguely offended by the look of horror on Dorcas’ face had he not been mirroring the exact same expression himself. He gapes at Marlene and Sirius, his mouth open, shocked and so, so confused.

Dorcas shakes her head. “Yeah...”

“I think I speak for both of us,” Remus cuts in. “What the fuck?”

Sirius rolls his eyes. “Jesus, I’m not breaking up with you. We just - “

“There’s a party,” Marlene says. “A pureblood bullshit one.”

Dorcas suddenly springs up, her eyes gleaming with a maniacal, slightly psychotic light. “Oh my god. Fake dating?”

“Fake dating,” Marlene confirms.

“Uh,” Remus says, trying to speak up over the squeals of Dorcas. “Still fucking confused.”

Sirius shurgs. “Well our parents are fucking homophobes but we both need to be at this party and we have to bring dates. So, solutions! Marlene and I pretend to date - “

Marlene nods. “And you and Dorcas pretend to date,”

“And then we go to the party like that!”

Remus stares at Dorcas, who’s rolling around on the ground shrieking, “This is a fucking fanfic! This is a fucking fanfic!” He frowns, trying to piece everything together. “So it’s like...a cover.”

“Jesus Christ.” Sirius sighs through his nose. “Yes.”

“And,” Marlene says, “They won’t let girls and boys share the same rooms because sex is a thing that shouldn’t be done until wedding days. So, you and Sirius will have to share a room and Dorcas and I will share.”

Sirius smirks. “And we’ll bang just to spite my parents.”

“Okay.” Remus bites his lip, shaking his head. “This is a fucking awful idea. What if I say no?

“It’s brilliant,” Sirius counters. “And if you say no then I’ll just have to shag Marlene which will be uncomfortable for all parties.”

Remus flips him off. “Fine.”

“So uh.” Dorcas sits up, face flush from laughing. “When is this party by any chance?”
