Summary
“It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement, Evans. Simple quid pro quo — you help me, I help you.”
Or: All James wants is to pass his next Muggle Studies exam. All Lily wants is for Bertram Aubrey to notice her. Maybe they can help each other.

Summary
Lily Evans knew she wasn't very good at magical tag. In fact, she usually ended up in last place. But that didn't stop her from playing with enthusiasm. For that matter, hardly anything made her ever hold back. Not ex-boyfriends or bad Halloween costumes or competitive prefects. Not even her lousy sixth year.

Summary
Lily Evans and James Potter can't stand each other. Not during their school years and certainly not in the years since. Under no circumstance would they ever agree to fake a marriage... right? Right???

Summary
"Lily had been interested in someone it was safe to want, because he would not want her back, and then she would not have to consider what it meant to be more than interested, and rearrange the nice little building blocks of her life for someone who could well be a wrecking ball if he wished to."
No matter how many times Lily sees James at a wedding, she can’t get used to it.

Summary
James Potter doesn't care for Lily Evans. And if their disastrous first date is any indication, he isn't her favorite person either.
So why is it that he’s invited her to his parents’ house for Christmas when he has zero desire to spend time with her, and by all accounts, the feeling is mutual?
Because he is a complete idiot, that’s why.

Summary
With a soft, dreamy sort of look, Lily slides a hand over into Potter’s lap, resting it lightly against his thigh.
Severus’ eyes start to blink rapidly, hoping the act alone will make the image in front of him disappear. It doesn’t. It’s as clear as day and as real as the cold stone under his feet. Lily is touching— touching on her own accord! — James Potter.
In potions no less.

Summary
“She hated him!”
“Nah, she didn’t.”Except, for a little while, she really, really did…
When Lily Evans meets fellow glaciologist James Potter on base in Antarctica, sparks immediately fly—but not the fun kind. It’s hate-at-first-sight.
But the endless sun of an Antarctic summer leaves them with nowhere to hide. Then, when the unthinkable happens, they come to learn that maybe—just maybe—the person you can’t stand is also the person you can’t live without…
****
Or: how to fall in love at the end of the world.

Summary
“Yes. I think it matters.” James is shocked at how soft his own voice is, but even more so at the pause in her footsteps. They’re quiet for a second, and then he hears them approaching.
“Why?” She asks, slowly, slowly walking back towards him, rejoining him at the wall. “Two more years at this place and nobody will care how many O.W.L.s we got last year or who was a prefect or Quidditch captain. Voldemort won’t care. This,” she gestures at the air around her, “won’t mean anything when we leave here.”
“But it means something now, doesn’t it?”
–
It is sixth year and everything has changed, everything is changing, nothing is the same, nothing is different at all.
This is a story of love and of loss (like every story that has ever been told), and of growing pains and growing up. Lily Evans, James Potter, Sirius Black, new friendships forged and old ones not forgotten, alone and not alone with their changing minds, falling in love and falling into place when the walls are falling down around them, everything is falling out from under them.
OR
A long form, slow burn, canon compliant tale of Lily Evans and James Potter, and all the people they love, have loved, have lost.

They say you can never go home, places don't stay the same while you're gone, and people don't wait.
They say home is where the heart is, an invisible string that slackens or pulls tight when it wants attention.

Yule Logs, Baubles, and Other Festive Body Parts by stonecoldhedwig
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
06 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
“You deserve beautiful things.” It’s as though he can read her mind. James’ tone is low, and just bordering on the kind of bossy that makes Lily feel rather flushed. She presses her legs together. “I want to give you the things you deserve, okay?”
“Okay.” Lily cups his cheek and runs her thumb idly over his lips. “Thank you.”
“Can’t believe your girlfriend looks like she wants to vomit at the prospect of marrying you,” interjects Sirius through yet another mouthful of toffee, because he is apparently nothing if not deeply committed to ruining a moment.

Summary
Sometimes, a one-night-stand with a guy off Tinder is just that: a one-night-stand. No lasting feelings, no strings attached. It's the kind of thing that's easy to get your head around when you're trying to get your heart around the end of a relationship.
Sometimes, it's not that simple.
Sometimes, you're a journalist, and you get assigned to write a piece on an up-and-coming restaurateur, who just might be that one-night-stand from Tinder that you can't stop thinking about. And sometimes, to make matters worse, the two of you get snowed in...
****
Or: Lily shags James, and thinks she'll never see him again. Right? Wrong.

pillar of pride by sunshinemarauder for EmeraldDoe
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
01 Jan 2024
Tags
Summary
James Potter is proud. This, she knows. She knows his pride like the back of her hand. She knows it from flying classes and Transfiguration successes and Quidditch games and pompous hair-ruffling.
James Potter masquerades behind a pillar of pride, and to witness those pillars crumble is a precious rarity.

Summary
“I wish you’d stop saying that.”
“Saying what?” James genuinely looks confused.
“That you fancy me.”
A smirk pulls at his lips. “But I do.”
Lily rolls her eyes. “You’re severely concussed.”
James folds his arms dramatically across his chest. “A little light brain damage doth not a liar make.”Bookmarked by Muddilake
