Hi everyone,
As we are nearing the last month of the year we would like to inform you about the December Jilychallenge.
We loved seeing all your Jily messages, art, moodboards and holiday inspired fics, as well as the heartwarming full tree at the end of the month!!
We are excited to do something like last year again and we hope you are as well. (for a little taste and to see the tree fill up, check the tag #djac 2022) Our starting date this year depends on how many of you will want to participate, we plan to finish on the 31st!
Instructions :
To sign up, please fill out this google form before the first of December. In the form you'll find the deadlines for your works to be finished. We'll be in touch as soon through here or Discord, never hesitate to let us know if you need more time or if there's a special date you'd like your work to be released on. Everyone can pick from the prompt list, you can have as many as you like, combine them, ignore them, follow them to the letter. We welcome any festive jily fics so if you've got a holiday end of year tale you want to tell, don't hesitate if your exact idea has no prompt to fit it ;-)
This is not about rules but about having fun!
That being said if you’re writing a fic, the minimum words must be 100, and should only be a one shot. (or finished multi-chapter (for multichaps please contact us so we can figure out the best way to post them!)
If it’s an artwork/playlist/moodboard then… anything goes!

You can submit your work earlier, but since it will take us a bit of time to organise the calendar we ask you try not to submit later, don't hesitate to contact us should you need more time or if you think you want to do more than one creation in a certain week.
Please note that the sign up weeks could be very different from when your fic or artwork will be revealed.
The fics can be posted to the December Jily Calendar 2023 collection on AO3. For any help with posting don't hesitate to contact us. Once you've posted to the collection it might take a little while for your work to be accepted (we don't live on AO3... 😘 you can always let us know you posted.

2023 Year In Review
I first did this post last year after getting back into the swing of fandom and thought it would be cool to see what a difference another year has made. This year saw the creation of the @jilymicrofics & @jilymicro-oops blogs respectively, which will have their own review post in due course. Looking back I once again managed more than I thought I did this year.
Let's start with some AO3 Stats:
User Subscriptions: 103 Kudos: 2,732 Comment Threads: 781 Bookmarks: 594 Subscriptions: 315 Word Count: 267,425
All of which had a significant increase compared to last year which makes me a little giddy!

ITS BRIGHTER NOW
just vibes for a title tbh
ohhh I so agree. That title was from one of jilychallenge's December Advent prompts, but ironically I actually started writing this story for a different prompt, and the story took a total turn until "It's Brighter Now" was suddenly a much better fit. I think it's from a Taylor Swift song tbh, but it's sort of a double meaning in this fic.
A oneshot about his first Christmas after James' parents die, this is probably one of the saddest ones on the list. Hopefully the title gives a sense of how it'll end, though. <3
Here are a couple snippets!
He loved her for it. He loved her for the way she took up too much of the bed, and tangled her legs up in his, and periodically snorted like she’d been surprised by something in her sleep. He loved her for the way she stood on her toes as tall as she could to wrap both arms around his neck, knowing, somehow, that being hugged like this made him feel held. She always pulled away with a quick kiss to his temple, unable to fully reach the top of his head. He loved her for never bringing them up, for saying nothing when he asked the house elves to put all the family portraits in his parents’ room, for silently agreeing to never enter that wing of the house. 
Naively, James had thought the worst of it was over. He’d made it through his 19th birthday, made it through moving back in, made it through his mother’s birthday in August, his father’s in October. Christmas didn’t even occur to him until the cards started coming in, each one a variation of, ’condolences this Christmas.’ James got the sense they’d sat down to write ‘happy Christmas, Monty & Effie!’ only to remember that Monty and Effie were dead, and hastily tried to figure out what to send their poor, dear son instead. It was the funeral all over again, only the bells in the background jingled rather than tolled.

Written for @jilychallenge's
December Jily Calendar 2023!
Also posted on AO3.
Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää! 💙Happy birthday, Finland!  
Tumblr media
The portkey deposited them into cold and dark and a knee-deep bank of snow. Nausea swelled and lurched in James’ stomach, and he didn’t even notice the log cabin until Lily tugged at the sleeve of his robe. Its rectangle windows glowed yellow into the night. 
James waded out of the snowbank, onto the narrow, cleared path leading to the cabin’s door. Lily followed close behind. The wooden door creaked as he stepped into a welcoming warmth. A simply furnished large room greeted him, with a seating area near a big fireplace where a merry fire was roaring, and a wooden dining table flanked with two benches on the other side of the room. Stairs snaked up near an open doorway to the side.  
Lily pulled off her snowy boots and started to wander around the cabin, while James stayed near the door, laboriously peeling back all the layers of clothing, from his muffler to his hat. 
“It’s a small kitchen,” Lily reported from the room off to the side, then joined James in the main room. 
He bent down to pull off his shoes and grimaced at the lingering sense of vertigo. He loathed portkeys. But when they needed to travel across a big distance at a great speed and with little prior warning, there were only so many modes of transportation to choose from. 
“There’s a letter.” 
As James straightened again, he saw Lily pick up an envelope from the table. He walked over to join her and sat on the bench as she opened it and pulled out the letter. 
“Welcome, friends,” Lily read. “Hope you have a nice stay. The sky should be clear tonight and the spirits say that the lights will come. The plants you seek are not far. I made you a map. In the shed outside there’s firewood, skis, snowshoes and a shovel. The broomsticks are in the tall cupboard by the front door. Good luck!” 
“I vote for the brooms,” James said. 
Lily shook her head. “Of course you do. You’ll jump at any excuse to fly.” 
“What time is it?” 
Lily glanced at her watch and frowned. “It was a little after 8 when we left and there’s a two-hour time difference... So probably somewhere around 10.30.” 
James looked out from the window into the darkness. “Looks more like 10.30 pm than am to me.” 
“Yeah,” Lily agreed. “I knew the days would be shorter this far up north but it’s really different seeing it first-hand.” 
“Guess that means we have a few hours to kill.” 
While Lily was studying the hand-drawn map, James managed to hook his arm around her waist. She stumbled into his lap, right where he wanted her, and set her hands on his shoulders. 
“James,” she chided, laughter in her eyes. “We’re on a mission. We need to focus.” 
“Oh, I’m focusing,” he replied, staring meaningfully at her lips. 
“You’re an idiot,” Lily informed him. And leaned in to give him a long, lingering kiss. When she finally pulled back, she rested her forehead against his and flashed him a smile. 
James’ fingers dug into the small of her back. It had been a while since the last time he had seen her bestow a smile so carefree; since she’d felt so relaxed in his arms. He stared into her eyes and held her to his heart. By travelling here, to this cold, dark wilderness of the far north several countries away from home, they had stumbled into a small pocket of peace. In this solitary cabin far away from all civilisation he felt safer than he had for months, even in his own home. In this alien winter wonderland, the war seemed just as far away as the British Isles. 
James slid his hands up her sides so he could cradle her face. He brushed his thumb across her cheek and kissed her. It was slow and sweet and infinitely precious. A kiss so heartbreakingly perfect that he willed the time to stop. He wanted to freeze this moment, to imprint it in his memory. He wanted this kiss to stay in his heart so that even after they were back home, in the turmoil of life and death, deceit and battle, fighting for the right of Lily’s very existence, he could recall it and lose himself in it. The weight of her in his lap, her fingers in his hair, her heart beating against his, her taste on his lips, the slow teasing sweep of her tongue. And more than anything, the unhurried pace of this long kiss. Because here, they had all the time in the world. 
*
It was a quarter past one in the afternoon and the sun was setting. It felt like the day had gone by in a blink of an eye, even though their time at the cabin had seemed to crawl as they waited for the nightfall. It had been a nice enough day, just slow. They had sat around and talked. Stared at the fire. Mapped out their plans for how they'd go about this mission. Eaten a hearty lunch. The highlight had been seeing a reindeer meander right across their yard. 
But now the night was finally falling — even though it was quite upsetting to see the sun set so impossibly early in the afternoon — and it was time to set out and follow through with their mission. 
When James stepped out of the door, shouldering a backpack and clutching his broomstick, they hit him all at once: the darkness, the cold and the quiet. Snow-covered wilderness stretched before him until the treeline of towering spruces and pines far ahead. The silence was so loud it rang in his ears. His breath fogged in the cold air that burned in his nostrils. The darkness would have been absolute if not for the moon and the stars, their pale silver light reflected all around him by the white cover of snow. For a moment, it brought him back to his school years and the snow-encrusted Forbidden Forest up in Scotland, which he’d so often roamed under the glow of the full moon. 
Lily came out after him and pulled the cabin door shut. Her breath escaped in a hiss. “Oh hell no.”  
She pulled out her wand and cast a heating charm on her wool cloak. Her wand jabbed James’ shoulder and then heat flooded in. He let out a sigh of relief. 
“Thank you.” 
“You’re welcome. Let’s get going. You can fly and I’ll navigate.” 
James mounted the broom. Lily climbed on behind him, her arms snaking around his waist. 
“Hold on tight,” he told her, before pushing off the ground. 
Up in the air, it was even colder. The charmed cloak was making a valiant effort to keep him warm, but his fingers and the tip of his nose were bearing the brunt of the freezing air. Luckily, they didn’t have far to go.  
James followed Lily’s murmured instructions. For a moment, she rested her head against his shoulder, her sigh misting in the air.  
“It’s so beautiful.” 
James had to agree. 
Soon, they landed. James pulled his muffler over his nose for a bit of extra warmth, while Lily compared her map to the sparse landmarks nearby and nodded to herself. 
She pulled out the shovel they’d brought along. She’d argued that it was safer to dig up the snow than to try to blast it away with a wand, because with a shovel they’d have more control over the force used and the herbs had a bigger chance of staying intact. James had thought it was very Muggleborn of her to default to manual labour where a spell would work just as well, but he loved how she always kept him on his toes. 
The snow crunched as they dug. A point in favour of the manual labour was that after they’d cleared a good patch of snow, James was feeling a lot warmer.  
Lily knelt, clearing the remaining inch by hand, gently brushing snow aside with her mitten-covered hands to reveal a tiny forest of bare plant stems sticking up from the frozen ground. 
“Are those the herbs that we need?” James asked. 
“Yes,” Lily answered. 
“They don’t look all that impressive to me.” 
“Trust me, they’re very potent. And right now they’re dormant.” 
James shrugged. “You’re the potion expert.” 
“That I am.” Lily winked at him.  
“Now what?” 
“Now we wait.” 
They settled down just for that. James spread a blanket he’d found in the cabin on the snow. Lily dug out a jar from her backpack and kindled a magical fire inside. They sat side by side, leaning against each other, and gazed up at the dark sky above them. At the pale moon and the spread of the stars twinkling down at them.  
James had lost all sense of time. An odd calm had settled over him. Usually, he would have been itching to do something; anything but the torturous drudgery of sitting and waiting. But here and now, with Lily beside her, in the peaceful quiet of the winter night, he could appreciate the stillness. He pressed his cool cheek against the chunky knit of Lily’s hat and closed his eyes, perfectly content. 
James couldn’t tell how long he stayed like that until Lily stirred next to him. 
“Look!” she breathed out in a reverent hush. 
James opened his eyes and there it was. Spread across the sky above them a ribbon of bright, gradient green undulated like a sheer curtain rippling in the wind.  
James instinctively reached for Lily’s hand, squeezing it, mittens and all. Something was lodged in his throat so tightly he couldn’t speak. Lily squeezed his hand back. The lights continued their parade, flowing like water, their colour reminiscent of Lily’s eyes. 
It was the second most beautiful thing he’d ever seen in his life. 
“Wow,” Lily sighed. 
He turned and looked at her upturned face and awed smile, at the frost glistening on her eyelashes like diamonds. The love that rushed through him stopped his breath. There she was: the only thing in the world to which even the magic of the Northern lights paled in comparison. The most beautiful thing in the world. 
A streak of red joined the vivid green in the sky and an answering glow sprung to life on the ground before them. The herbs were luminescent now, mirroring the brilliant aurora up above. The stems grew and sprouted leaves that slowly unfurled before their eyes. Tiny buds appeared, swelling until bright green bell-shaped flowers burst out, streaked by flowing reds. 
“Get the other jar,” Lily told James as she bent forward, carefully cutting the plants with precise flicks of her wand. 
James dug out an empty glass jar from his bag. It took a few fumbling tries to unscrew the lid with his mittens on, but as soon as he managed, Lily dropped in a handful of the herbs she’d scooped up. 
“There.” She looked up at him, bathed in the green glow that made her eyes more luminous than usual. “Mission accomplished.” 
James closed the jar and leaned in to kiss the tip of her nose. 
“Let’s go home.” 
“In a while,” Lily murmured in agreement, then looked back up at the sky. 
They stayed there for several long moments, hand in hand and smiles on their faces, watching the magical lights dance on the velvet dark of the northern night sky.

Summary: When a mission for the Order goes badly wrong, Lily Evans must spend the holidays lying low in the middle of nowhere. The rules: no magic, no visitors, and absolutely no Christmas cheer.
And the kicker? She’s sharing the safe house with Order darling – and rival – James Potter, who just happens to be the reason she’s in this mess in the first place.
Read it on AO3.

Fleamont Potter’s Guide to Wooing
Relationship: James Potter/Lily Evans | Rating: Teens | W.C: 4.3k
The next time that he scampers off to the Potions classroom after dinner, Lily’s waiting for him. She’s sitting on the desk again, legs crossed and a book open in her lap. James doesn’t feel the same surprise as he did the before – becoming friends with Lily means that now he knows all too well how unrelentingly stubborn she is. And, although he’d never say it to her face, she’s nosey.
The idea of a secret project that James refuses to share is just the kind of thing that her curious mind would latch on to.
Or: James is very, very stressed about a perfect Christmas present for Lily. Good thing he has his dad’s old journal to turn to.

Hi, do you know if there has been a Jily secret Santa event that has taken place? Also, could I be able to add so many prompts in a single story?
Hi!
We host a gift exchange at the start of the year that sort of works like a Secret Santa. Details for how to sign up for that event for 2024 will be coming out soon. But if you wanna check out 2023’s exchange fics, you can find those in the AO3 collection here.
But for December @jilychallenge hosts an advent calendar and they’ve just posted how to sign up for that. Fics, moodboards, playlists, art! It’s a fun time I recommend participating.
Combining of prompts is always welcomed.

Lying in wait by @missgryffin
Complete (part of short stories), Jily, Rated M
Randomly listened to some Hamilton over the weekend, ended up with "Wait For It" stuck in my head, and wrote this in a couple hours today. I think it's angst, but with a nice dash of crack? Idk 😅 But I hope it makes you smile! 🫶
