finally going to start reading atyd
^^this but i dont mind MCD and i just read The Hand That Feeds and it broke me but i NEED more dorlene ASAP
this is a call for help.
we have a ton of beautiful fanfiction in this fandom but I have never found one that enabled me to form a visceral connection with marlene or dorcas hence dorlene. I don’t have this issue with other sapphic ships, just marlene and dorcas have always felt like side characters but I WANT TO BE A DORLENE GIRLIE. I really want to get inside their brains and be unable to stop thinking about them.
So please recommend me such fics if you know any. I am begging🧎🏻 [Just one disclaimer: I don’t like MCD/canon compliant fics.]
dorlene is SO phoebe bridgers coded
dorcas meadowes and marlene mckinnon
marlene: dorcas has a good heart
lily: yes i've noticed you staring at her heart
just... just marlene calling dorcas dork..

She has a pet snake and she loves her more than life itself
She scares Evan with her all the time despite the fact he SWEARS he's not scared of snakes (he's terrified)
Speaking of Evan he's probably closest with Dorcas out of all the Skittles
Gets along with guys more often than girls so there's always some dating scandal surrounding Dorcas
She's actually a lesbian
She's always known that and hasn't ever had any interest in guys

Sees an animal on the street or in a photo and immediately thinks she has to have it
She has two dobermans and she loves them more than anything

Shameless Lesbian
When she gets caught doing something bad she has that deer in the headlights look
James has the exact same one

She's fiercely loyal
And just fierce in general
Marlene is always, always, always available to hang out
And if she's not she will make herself available

Sirius taught her to play the guitar
Jealousy issues!!!
Speaking of jealousy when James and Sirius became friends she was sooooo jealous
Cus James had been hers since they were little
Her and James got 'married' when they were little so Marlene always calls James her husband
In fact when Lily and James got married she made a big show of crying over how Lily stole her husband and Lily is in shock because she thought Marlene was a lesbian she had told her so herself
She had said Lily was her gay awakening to which Lily turned beat red and stammered over everything for an hour
In stark contrast to Lily's horrific shock James is dying of laughter and so is Sirius
James was laughing so hard he couldn't explain the situation so Sirius explained it for him
James quite literally almost died of laughter he was laughing so hard he couldn't breathe
Marlene is also very possessive over her friends
Her aesthetic is dark cottagecore
