but imagine if the potters had lived and they decided to get a family clock like the one at the burrow
except it wouldn’t have things like ‘home’, ‘work’ or ‘travelling’ it’d have things like: ‘doing something stupid at home’, ‘fooling around at work’, ‘being an idiot while travelling’, ‘on that death-trap of a motorcycle’, ‘james can you just NOT pls’ (for when he’s being especially exasperating)
they’d have hands for remus and sirius as well and every full moon, their hands would be turned to ‘with the badly behaved rabbit’
and they’d have an ‘in detention’ one especially for harry and james would grin (and probably high five sirius) every single time harry’s hand was pointed to it
If by PP you mean Peter– I mean, he made some choices which made him a bad person, but out of all the characters who were morally grey in the series, he was the greyest. He didn’t start out a bad person. He was fiercely loved by his friends (which is what made his betrayal the worst), and at one point in his life he loved them back. I don’t make him the villain all the time. In AUs where there is no Voldemort, and therefore no war which ultimately corrupted Peter into the person he became, he remains a close friend of the marauders and a decent person.
There’s a difference with like say Snape who showed obvious signs of bigotry and hatred and cruelty even as a nine year old child, and he only grew into that further and further. So whilst I will write AUs where Peter never betrayed his friends and keep him as being a “good guy” in some of my fics, and sometimes he’s not when I write canon-compliant ones– someone like Snape will forever remain the villain.
So I wouldn’t say I never write anything good for Peter, because especially in Marauder’s era fic and art, he’s left out and that’s wrong because he was a major, important part of that dynamic.
