Summary
“Evans,” his voice comes out pained, raw, right there between them. He doesn’t want to lose this. “Evans. Please. I’m trying really hard here.”
“Trying?” Lily repeats, swallowing. Fingers still curled around her, warm. Her own fingers are still curled around the wire rim of his glasses. He can feel them graze his skin, maddening, a false offering at the altar of the temple of his skull. “Trying to do what?”
“Figure this out.”

Summary
Hogwarts seventh years Lily Evans and James Potter have fallen utterly, madly in love. But what started as a laugh and a chance encounter becomes a prediction that rocks them to their bones, and they have to decide between short, fulfilling lives together, or long ones apart.
There's too much on their shoulders for them to be 17.

What Must Have Been Seconds But Felt Like a Lifetime by Jamesandthedog

Summary
James’ hand ruffled though his hair, still not quite gasping the thought of what had just happened, as the door slammed shut and it became dark. There was a crackle as a something fell against his shoulder and it was only then that he realised she had pushed him into a broom closet.
Lily can't stand James' attitude towards his Head Boy duties. Or maybe it's something else bothering her.

Summary
‘You’re James Potter, your whole deal is that unyielding sense of self-worth. You must know.’
‘Know what?’
‘Oh please, you know you have an effect on people.’
He knows he can make people laugh, can persuade them and impress them, and even on occasion—when he’s sure they’re okay with just his body and not his heart—can make them want to fuck him. But this? This fluttering, shivery prelude to love? This thing his soppy, romantic soul wants more than anything? He’s been trying for that since he was twelve years old and has so far had a one hundred percent failure rate.
Stung and a little sullen, he says, ‘Well what the fuck do I care about people, Lily?’
Response to Week 2 of clare-with-no-i’s November Prompt Challenge.

Summary
And somewhere between the laughter, the jokes, and everyone assuming this was just another one of his bits, James Potter realized something rather alarming.
He hadn't been joking.
He hadn't thought before speaking.
He'd looked at Lily Evans and said the first thing that came into his head.
The problem was that he'd meant it.
Entirely.
Completely.
Because somewhere along the way, James Potter had fallen utterly, hopelessly, irrevocably in love.OR
5 times james potter proposed, and the one time he didn't

Summary
Evans,
read the letter before you throw it away, will you?So, here's the thing, I've been instructed to invite you as Head Girl to the anual Potter Christmas Ball. My mum likes to give the seventh year students of the highest potential an in into politics and future job offers and what-not at this thing. It's on the twenty-seventh. Black tie. Pretentious pureblood nonsense. There will probably be old wizards discussing legislations and laws while drinking things that cost more then Sirius's life savings. It'll be boring and pretentious.
You should come anyways.
You can Floo in if you decide to come. Details enclosed. If not, enjoy the rest of your holidays!

Summary
Lily Evans wants to be the subject of Schumann’s Papillons, dreamy and ethereal. She wants to let herself bloom like the flowers in this early spring, resilient despite the frost that clings to their petals each night. She wants to live, forget, and relinquish all that she left behind in 1978 — and may just do so, when she sees (rather, hears) James Potter for the first time.
Or, the one where Lily is tired of keeping herself from what she wants, and James is the (infuriating, glorious) new student in Professor McGonagall’s piano studio who is more than happy to indulge her.
