Friday Fics Fix - HP Halloween: Nostalgia Ain't What It Used To Be

Welcome to the second week of F3's* HP Halloween!

Yep, October is for Harry Potter fanfiction - the king of fandoms in terms of quantity (you can't deny it, it's totally true!)

*F3 = Friday Fics Fix. It's just easier to say sometimes. 😅





For this week's fic, we're gonna travel back in time, to pre-Harry Potter, post-Fantastic Beasts, days - so be careful how you set your time-turners!

...we wouldn't want you taking a wrong turn and ending up face to face with Grindelwald! 😉





So this is 'Marauders Era' fanfiction - James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter.

This setting is always popular in fanfiction - maybe because there's so little of it in the books, and the views that we do get are somewhat contradictory.

(Which I think is clever, tbh. We never get a 'definitive' view of any of the Marauders, or of Snape. You gotta love an enigma or two 😉)

...And that means that there're a lot of gaps and 'what ifs' for fanfiction to fill in!



See? There's even a gif!

This week's fic is, at heart, a gentle li'l fic.

And I think we can all do with a gentle li'l fic sometimes 😊

It's short and sweet, about the Marauders on the train back to Hogwarts, supporting each other and just being damned good friends.

It's cotton-candy levels of wholesomeness!

...And that's refreshing, sometimes.





This week's fic, then, dearest nerdlets, is:

Return to Hogwarts by moonyspatrcnus

  1. I know a lot of people love the marauders and wanted more from them in the books. I was kinda indifferent tbh, but I did always love Lupin so I would have liked to see more of him.

    1. I'm with you - I wouldn't have minded more of them, but I'm OK with what we got! It leaves an intriguing space for fanfiction to fill though ;)
