The narrative centers on Regulus Black, who was first reaped for the Games at age 15. Ten years later, at age 25, he is reaped again.

While the story became a viral sensation in the Marauders fandom (particularly on TikTok), the original author removed or orphaned their works from AO3 due to intense harassment and pressure from social media.

Premise Summary

Crimson Rivers reimagines the Marauders-era characters in a dystopian setting heavily inspired by The Hunger Games. The world is divided into Districts (1-12), with the Capitol oppressing them. The story follows multiple characters as they are reaped for the 50th (or a similar) annual Games—a brutal fight to the death. Key players include James Potter (from a wealthier District), Regulus Black (from a poorer District), Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Lily Evans, and others. The narrative weaves political rebellion, romance (Jegulus—James/Regulus—is central), and the psychological toll of violence.
