After digging endlessly through thousands of Blackinnon fics, I'm giving you a big fat list of Blackinnon recommendations that are posted throughout FF.net and AO3.
ʷⁱˡˡ ᵖʳᵒᵇᵃᵇˡʸ ᵏᵉᵉᵖ ᵃᵈᵈⁱⁿᵍ ˢᵗᵘᶠᶠ⁻ I still have many more saved up. Perhaps I'll make another one in the future.
🔸 for multi-chapter
Thank you for the recommendations, I haven't read all but I'll include your picks at the bottom
Summary: By the time he realized what he was feeling, he already knew of eleven distinctive events that led him to feel the way he did.
“Why do you hate me, McKinnon?” he whined.
She laughed at him with that familiar tone he hadn’t heard in far too long and she smiled in that way that so few had ever seen. “Someone’s got to keep you in check.”
Summary: In 1975 it starts with sideways glances and tiny smiles... A chronicle of the six years (and then some) of Sirius Black and Marlene Mckinnon's relationship.
She's new to the Quidditch team and he thinks it's going to be a disaster. She's all blonde curls and sparkling eyes and wide smiles-not at all fit for such a physical sport. But he's never seen her fly.
When he looked out of the corner of his eye, sometimes he still saw her waiting for him... Marlene McKinnon & Sirius Black, who never had a girlfriend- he had a motorcycle instead.
But once in a blue-grey moon, when he was not so alone, before Azkaban, and then on nights when his heart wasn't drumming out that James and Lily were dead, dead, dead to the tune of his latest mistake, when he felt like going out for a drink and kissing a girl he didn't love until they were both dizzy and breathless, he would have an old stray thought of Marlene McKinnon.
This one is short but I fell in love with it the first time I read it.
Marlene McKinnon and Sirius Black were many things but most of all they were free.
You see them, Marlene McKinnon and Sirius Black. A view of the two trouble makers from an outsider's perspective.
You see her bring out a pack of cigarettes put one between her lips, light it before passing the packet to him who does the same thing.
This is one of my favourites of all time, and that's saying a lot. Slow. Sirius's character is spot on. Not completed but 100 percent worth the read. Not centered around blackinnon relationship, more on the war but it's still there and it's very very strong.
“Alright,” said Marlene, after only a moment of consideration. “How about you kiss me?” she suggested.
Sirius’ eyes grew wide, suddenly choking on his own saliva. He didn’t quite expect her to handle it like that.“Wh-what?...” he stammered, at a loss for words possibly for the first time in his life.
“Huh,” Marlene remarked, tossing her head to the side. “I thought you would have been a lot smoother than that.”
Summary: Lily has always liked to reprimand Sirius when he broke school rules. When she finds out he has his own rules (and has broken many of those too) she just finds it funny.
He really couldn't work out why he kept letting this happen. He was sleeping with one of his good friends, and this wasn't even the only time. It was the third. Why? Perhaps because you really enjoy it, and really like that it's with her, said a small voice in his head.
Because Sirius Black understands.
Because they aren’t just Sirius and Marlene, the unbreakable, they are people too, but nobody realises the truth, nobody realises that they’ve been broken all along.
There are times where Sirius could just lean in...
"Do I make you nervous?" Marlene teased, noticing the way he stiffened uncomfortably now that they were so close. They'd been careful not to let this happen. They knew, even then, that something was changing.
Soulmate AU: AU in which every time a person falls in love, a red line like a tally mark shows up on their wrist. When their love becomes requited, the tally will become black, and when their loved one dies, the tally becomes a scar.
Sirius had no tallies. It wasn’t particularly shocking—he didn’t let himself love easily. But, he must admit, compared to the rest of his friends, his bare wrist looked lonely next to Remus’ one, James’ two, and Peter’s three.
Summary: and he thinks, this girl is a thunderstorm, wild and deadly and far too easy to love
Sirius Black is not to be trusted, she tells herself in the month that follows. Marlene McKinnon is positively mental, he tells himself in turn.
This is a simple and short one-shot. All fluff :).
There are few things that are absolutely certain in the world: the sun is warm; grass is weirdly itchy; winter is the best season for cuddling; and Sirius loved waking up and seeing Marlene asleep next to him.
I like how subtle Sirius is in this fic.
Every night, without fail, she was there, with her friends, by the fire. And every night, without fail, Sirius watched her from the Marauders' favorite table across the room in the corner.
No dialogue. One-shot. Amazing.
Some days, she lets herself love him. (she doesn't know it, but those are the days he lives for)
Marlene loves his motorcycle. Or maybe she just loves him
She gave his middle a squeeze, determined to not fall off. He laughed, a rough bark.
They took her, the only thing that was worth fighting for.
And Sirius Black knew that, when Marlene McKinnon left, she took his heart with her.
This is heartbreaking I teared up. Also, she has a lot of Marauders content that includes blackinnon. So, check her out!
Summary: In the days before his death, Sirius can see Marlene.
It was the kitchen this time. He’d been just about to pour himself a drink, when there she was, standing at the other end of the long table.
Blackinnon is minor in this one but I like how complex Sirius feels and how vulnerable he sounds.
Sirius never had a home, not really. Sirius had a house but not a home and that's important.
Sirius and Marlene enjoy the sunshine
‘Are you going to keep staring at me or are you going to lie down and enjoy the sun’ she stage whispered, startling him out of his own thoughts.
‘Can’t help it when I’ve got something so lovely to look at McKinnon’ he replied grinning.
Sirius and Marlene talking about the war. Less romance, more serious.
"James thinks it'll be worth it," he mutters.
"James is in love," she says sadly. "He has to think that because he's bringing a child into this. You couldn't live with yourself if you didn't believe that."
Another short one
Usually he'd say "Good luck with that," with a flirtatious wink and walk away, but he found himself distracted with his newfound knowledge - James was right. Maybe he did fancy Marlene, just a little bit.
Summary: Marlene was always scared of storms, while Sirius was always scared of water.
Whenever someone asked Sirius where his favorite place to swim was, he always said, "The ocean." But really, he'd love to say, "Marlene McKinnon's eyes.
Short. No dialogue. Beautiful.
Marlene McKinnon liked to think she was brave, but when it came to Sirius Black, perhaps she feared everything.
This is the stereotype of Blackinnon but I kinda like it
He pretended not to care, not to give a shit, because that was who he was. And though he would deny it to everyone, he found himself wanting, longing, wishing to feel her touch again.
Beautiful One-shot.
No, Sirius Black was not the type to think before he acted – except where it came to Marlene McKinnon, though some people wouldn't have called that thinking at all.
Attention! This is the first fic I read about Blackinnon and look at me now. This is how I get here. This is good. just read it. Please.
Summary: Sirius gets drunk and finally admits that Marlene was never just a fling but so much more. Unfortunately, he can't see into the future and doesn't know of the tragedy just hours away.
Just before locking it shut, she heard Sirius 'whoop!' loudly and a crack sounded after, signaling he was gone, leaving Marlene to smile like a teenager all by herself.
Marlene and Sirius having a conversation.
You're fucked up, Marlene."
"I know," she says, "but you are too, so it's okay. Right?"
So here we are we made something so beautiful and so dysfunctional
Marlene McKinnon and Sirius Black were heartbreakingly gorgeous, with his aristocratic face and deep grey eyes, and her long blonde hair that fell oh so perfectly. They were devastatingly gorgeous, too beautiful. It just couldn’t last.
Told from a unique point of view, this tale explores the ill-starred romance of Sirius Black and Marlene McKinnon.
After a while, he laughed. "If only Marlene could see me now," he said. "She always swore I'd end up in prison." Then he went to sleep. I could have used his swearwords myself. I needed to hear this story about whoever Marlene was. It felt important.
and while they describe this unknown stranger he is simply jealous of the dead.
He swallows and starts, "Marlene Mckinnon was definitely not perfect," he can almost see her, shaking her head beside Emmeline, berating him for insulting her at 'her party'. He shakes his head ruefully, "but i think i might have loved her."
In which Marlene saved Sirius.
"Fine," she gave in. "Next time, you get to be the knight in shining armour and you can come rescue me and sweep me off on your horse."
He knew she was making fun of him and he didn't want to disturb the light atmosphere between them, so he joined in on her joke. "Nah, I think I'm more of a knight on a shiny motorcycle."
Royalty AU. I loved this one so much. Authors have other blackinnon stories you should deffo check out.
“But,” he stood and her arms returned around his neck, “honor… virtue…other concepts such as those?” This was like the pull that Sir Lancelot felt to Guinevere. In some stories, he maintained her honor, but in all of them, it was his ruination.
@matrixaffiliate has A LOT of blackinnon AU and fics. Although Like the Storybooks is my fav, I encourage you to check out all of her works in her masterlist here. The popular ones are Saudade, A twist of Fate, and my other personal fav, Glimpsing Happiness.
Sirius is being questioned about that night, but he can't seem to speak the truth.
That night, he had been with her. By her grave. Clearing out the growing debris and laying fresh, new poppies, her favourite, at her resting place.
Sirius and Marlene fought after a mission.
"Oi, McKinnon, nice of you to return after all. A really fucking, amazing idea of yours, to just bloody leave me alone in the warehouse, leaving me to explain the mess you created."
In his cold, dank prison cell, Sirius remembers the only girl he ever loved. Oneshot.
She yells out: "Long live Gideon and Fabian!", and whispers softly in Sirius's ear, "And long live Sirius Black and Marlene McKinnon."
A little out of character in Sirius's part but cute!
Summary: During Saturday’s Quidditch match against Ravenclaw, three things happen in rapid succession: Sirius almost gets killed by a Bludger, Marlene McKinnon pulls off a spectacular Hairpin Turn and saves his life, and Sirius realizes that okay, holy shit, he’s actually in love with her.
Except that ‘a couple more days’ turns into a week, which turns into two weeks, which slips into three weeks, and he still hasn’t talked to Marlene. And he’s still pretty sure he’s legitimately in love with her.
Summary: James and Marlene liked to go on and on about how they went way back, being childhood friends and all, and they did; but Sirius had a history with Marlene McKinnon too.
“Great. Wanna dance and show these old dinosaurs what it’s like to have a good time, Black?”
“Always, McKinnon. Always.”
Sirius should have never listened to Mary read them that stupid article from Witch Weekly Magazine... Or, 5 signs Sirius Black and Marlene McKinnon are in love with each other.
Number one. You can’t stop staring at them.
So what if Sirius looked at McKinnon a lot? It wasn’t as if he couldn’t stop whenever he wanted to, or as though he was being creepy about it. Besides, it wasn’t his fault McKinnon was always around… who was he going to stare at? Peter?
At Marlene McKinnon's funeral, Sirius reflects on glory, war, and the woman he might have loved.
When I think of you, I think of your Gryffindor scarf in those vibrant colors and that loud cheer you would have at Quidditch games, the way you snaked your arms around my neck to kiss me. I can't reconcile that, not really, with the whole serenity of this place. You were always active, always moving. I don't understand how you can be resting, even now.
Just a little blackinnon and quidditch, normal settings, usual blackinnon stereotype. cute.
Summary: How the infamous Sirius Black met his match in Marlene McKinnon.
They stayed like this until finally, Marlene spoke, "You know what I don't get Black; why you think that only one can play that game?"
It was only a matter of time before one of them broke, but they made sure to pack a lifetime in before then. Too bad happiness was never for them. Misery was.
They have escaped the world together more often than either of them could count but the one time she needed him as much as he needed her he was off falling back into his old routine and he cried over the casket where she lay all in white as pain akin to that he's never felt racked through his body.
Very sappy/corny but we needed that sometimes, right?
Summary: Marlene caught Sirius's eye when he saw her dance in the rain, so carefree.
"You are some sort of angel," he tells her, and then he turns around and walks away before he adds something stupid like "and I think I might be falling in love with you." (It'd be a lie, though. He'd fallen in love with her long ago, now he's waiting for her to catch him.)
Sirius's thoughts during Marlene's funeral
Lily says it's fitting. I don't think it fits at all. It doesn't fit you. Nothing about this day is fitting.
A very cute multi-chapter. Completed, which is very rare for a blackinnon fic.
“Black and I were very drunk,” she said cooly, avoiding Sirius’ gaze entirely. “It’s never going to happen again.”
“Must you wound me so when I’m so fragile, McKinnon?” Sirius feigned, clutching a hand to his chest. The group laughed, and Marlene finally met his dark eyes with her blue ones. She gave him a smile, more relaxed now, and tutted.
“You’ll live, I’m sure,” she said drolly.
With the war picking up around them, Marlene writes a letter to Sirius to read after her death. Sirius find it.
Marlene hoped that when he found the letter, he could walk down the hall and ask her about it. That she would be there to explain why she wrote it, and that would be the end of the matter. They would go to meet the others for lunch, and the war would be a thing of memory.
The universe owed them that much.
Tonks shows Sirius how her "morphing" works, but when she transforms into someone from Sirius' past that he just wants to forget, questions are awoken.
"Do you like it?" The girl in front of him smiled.
"Marlene?" Sirius managed up.
The girl raised her eyebrows. "It's me? Tonks?" she laughed.
Simple blackinnon fluff.
He handed her a cup of coffee, she looked down at it and beamed. "You know what I put in my coffee?"
"I sat next to you at breakfast for two years." He shrugged.
Marlene and Sirius living their life. very simple multichapter. discontinued but worth a read.
He turned his attention back to Marlene's tattoo. The deep red and vibrant green stood out against her pale, cream-colored skin. She really did have beautiful skin. It contrasted nicely with her deep burgundy sheets.
"Are you watching me sleep?" she asked, startling him out of his thoughts.

“...yet I met Black on my last inspection of Azkaban. You know, most of the prisoners in there sit muttering to themselves in the dark; there’s no sense in them... but I was shocked at how normal Black seemed. He spoke quite rationally to me. It was unnerving. You’d have thought he was merely bored— asked if I’d finished with my newspaper, cool as you please, said he missed doing the crossword.”
Only Sirius Black can make the progress of becoming mentally deranged sexy. Change my mind.

☼ Hufflepuff Common Room
“It was round, earthy and low-ceilinged; it always felt sunny, and its circular windows had a view of rippling grass and dandelions. There was a lot of burnished copper about the place, and many plants, which either hang from the ceiling or sat on the windowsills. The overstuffed sofas and chairs were upholstered in yellow and black, and the dormitories were reached through round doors in the walls of the common room. Copper lamps cast a warm light over the four-poster beds, which were covered in patchwork quilts, and small copper bed warmers hung on the walls, in case of cold feet.”
This is so beautiful and I’m not even a hufflepuff.
so, to recap:
What are your thoughts on Pettigrew?
Welp, this turned into a five page word document mess of all my thoughts on him: headcanons, analysis which basically turns into rambling, etc. So strap in because he is my favorite character in the series to analyze and guess at.
