Jerin future/family headcanon:
. In 2008, Erin and James are expecting their first child. It's early January, Erin is ten days past her due date and absolutely sick and tired of being pregnant. Plus, Derry has been hit with a record-breaking snowfall over Christmas that's iced over every possible surface, meaning she can't so much as walk down her own driveway to collect the post without James hovering nervously beside her and insisting she be careful.
. Despite the discomfort of being ten days overdue, Erin is surprisingly calm about becoming a parent. James, on the other hand, is a nervous wreck, mostly due to the complete absence of a real parental figure for most of his life. For the past nine months he's been obsessively reading baby books, panic-buying dummies (pacifiers for the American readers), onesies and an unfeasible amount of nappies, currently stuffed into a cupboard in the upstairs hallway.
. On January 8th, Erin starts getting aches and odd feelings from around 6pm onwards, but doesn't think anything of it and goes to bed. At 1am on January 9th she wakes up and realises she's having proper contractions, but she doesn't even bother waking James due to her ma's advice that labour takes forever and she'll have a few hours before it's time to go to the hospital. She does send Mary a quick text to let her know things are starting.
. At 1:33am in the Quinn house, Gerry is woken up by noises in the kitchen. He wanders downstairs to find Mary in her dressing gown and slippers, making piles of cheese sandwiches and filling a travel flask with tea.
Gerry: *very confused and sleepy* What's happening...?
Mary: *frenziedly buttering bread* Erin texted me, we've got to start getting ready.
Gerry: And that somehow involves sandwiches?
Mary: For the car ride, keep up, Gerry! The awkward bastards aren't gonna let her eat at hospital!
. At 2am at Erin and James's house, James is woken up by his wife, who turns on the bedside lamp and calmly informs him that her contractions are starting to get closer together and they should probably get ready to go to the hospital. He then proceeds to jump out of bed shouting, "Oh my God, IT'S TIME" and frantically looks for the hospital bag and attempts to get dressed at the same time until Erin has to grab him by the shoulders and remind him to breathe.
. 2:10am - Erin is dressed and struggling to put her shoe on until she eventually just gives up and decides to go with slippers (they'll be much comfier, anyway). James has had to go outside into the freezing winter morning to pour boiling water from the kettle over the car windshield, which has iced over in the night.
. 2:15am - Erin sends a text into the "Derry Girls" group chat letting the rest of the gang know that they're headed to the hospital, but it'll probably be a while and she'll message later when they know more. James, meanwhile, has been fighting with the heavy, overly complicated carseat which requires a lot of adjusting and fiddling to get it installed. There was one moment where he accidentally caught his finger in one of the attachment parts and it bled, and he genuinely considered just throwing the stupid thing off the nearest cliff.
. 2:20 - The bastard carseat is finally installed, James's finger has a plaster on it, the car is packed and they're ready to set off for the hospital.
James: *In the car, driving at approximately 5 miles an hour because road safety is life* Okay, I've got the carseat, hospital bag, map... Is that everything? I swear I'm forgetting someth-
*Slowly looks across to the empty passenger seat *
James: Oh, shit!
(Shot of James's car reversing speedily back down the street, coming to a stop in front of their house with Erin standing by the gate, her arms folded and looking unimpressed.)
Erin: *Gets in the car*
James: *Opens his mouth to apologise*
Erin: Just drive.
. They arrive at the Quinn house at 2:25am, greeted by Mary and Gerry shuffling out the front door bundled up in winter coats and knitwear, Mary toting a large bag filled to the brim with sandwiches and other supplies. They get in the car and head for the hospital, James driving painstakingly slow because of the weather and Mary attempting to force-feed Erin cheese sandwiches en-route while talking excitedly about how she's going to be a granny. Gerry falls fast asleep in the back seat and is rudely awoken ten minutes later by Mary shaking his shoulder and the sound of his daughter groaning in pain mid-contraction. Mary warns him if he dares fall asleep again instead of being useful and comforting his child, he'll never hear the end of it. He spends the rest of journey holding Erin's hand and trying to keep his eyes open.
That's all for now, I will post Part 2 of possibly my longest headcanon yet soon:) Enjoy!

Derry Girls Headcanon #2: The girls are HUGE FANS of Gilmore Girls. When they are off work it is their unwind show and they need to talk about it at least once every time they meet up. Their Gilmore Girls discussions 30% consist of who Rory should end up with and all have different teams. Michelle is Team Logan to everyone’s shock (he’s got the money is her biggest argument and Aunt Sarah absolutely agrees). Erin and James are Team Jess (shocking, I know… But hear me out, Jerin are proper nerds and Jess loving books captured their hearts). Orla’s team changes from time to time but she’s more invested in the food Sookie cooks anyway. Of course, Clare is obviously Team Rory (and is absolutely disappointed over her development).

Dating James Maguire Headcanons/Drabbles
Masterlist
Request Something!
***
The girls made fun of you when you and James first started dating
It was lighthearted, but there was a hint of truth whenever it came from Michelle
“I dunno what’s worse, you dating an English fella or you dating my cousin.” Michelle groaned as she looked at your and James’ joined hands.
“Shut up, Michelle.” James rolled his eyes, used to the teasing he’d receive from her just for existing.
“They’re a cute pair, Michelle.” Clare defended, looking at the two of you. “If they were complete strangers, I’d be like, ‘aw, look at them, they’re so cute.’”
“They’re not strangers, Clare. It’s incest.”
“Ew! Michelle, we’re not related.” You said in disgust, looking around to make sure no one passing by had heard her. Michelle shrugged.
“Well, it feels like incest, so you might as well break up now.”
Dates to the chippy when Fionnula decided to lift the ban
He doesn’t get anything for himself, but he knows your order by heart and never lets you pay
“Y/n, what’re you doing?” Clare asked as she watched you pull out some money, trying to be discreet about it. You raised a finger to your lips, signaling her to keep quiet as you got up and made your way to James, who was in line for you. You wrapped an arm around him.
“Hi, Darling.” He greeted, putting an arm around your shoulders and kissing the top of your head.
“Hi.” You responded, getting on your toes to kiss his cheek. “So afterward, the girls were thinking of going to Erin’s. What do you think?”
As you talked, you slid the money into his jacket pocket.
“Yeah, that’s fine. Are we staying over or just for the movie?”
“I’m not opposed to staying over. Just depends on how Mary feels about it.” James nodded in understanding. The line moved up a bit, and you took that as your cue to go back to sit with Clare. You kissed James’ cheek again and went to walk away when he pulled you back.
“Take it back.” You looked at him, confused.
“What?” You watched him pull the money out of his pocket, looking at you less than impressed. You sighed, realizing you were caught.
“Take it back, Y/n.” You reluctantly snatched it and put it in your own pocket.
“I just feel bad that you keep paying for me.”
“Well, stop feeling bad because I wanna do it.”
“You’re too good to me.” You said before kissing him, not caring that others were in the shop.
Study dates!!!
He’ll come over to your house because his is too hectic with Michelle
Usually ends with him sleeping over, which neither of you mind

I headcanon that Peter Pettigrew is Irish and grew up Catholic like something abt him gives me such like religious trauma vibes and the fact that he would’ve lived through the Troubles in Ireland like I feel like that would’ve been a huge catalyst for The Betrayal and his separation from the marauders
Also Peter just gives me such Derry Girls vibes like idk but I could see him as the Claire of the marauders

Annie: I hear there's gonna be a ton of good looking bachelors coming to the house. With any luck a few might die and we can get with them. Imagine it; strapping young men just waiting to be taken by us girls!
Mary: Ooh that would be fine.
Kitty: I think I would enjoy that!
Robin: Oh no worry about me.
Annie: Lots of gentlemen today have a fetish for doing it with savages, Robin!
Robin: Really? Okay then!
Annie: We'll get you sorted, don't worry.
Thomas: And what about me? Do you think there might be a chance a beautiful lady will come and then die so I might keep her?
Annie: "Keep her"?! What is wrong with you?!
Robin: Like she object?!
Kitty: That's so disrespectful, Thomas!
Thomas: But...you were all just...!
Mary: Be gone, you wrong'un!

Erin and Orla might’ve both had crushes on James it’s just that Orla never repressed it because they never saw a problem with it and so was able to just let it pass and get over it while Erin repressed it, it blossomed against her will because she kept denying it until it was impossible to any more and well, we know what happened next.

I feel like once Erin and James get together, Michelle is like. fiercely defensive of their relationship because dammit this is happening welp I need to make sure they don’t break up so I don’t have to take sides but is also simultaneously absolutely disgusted by the idea of them showing each other physical affection beyond holding hands and hugging.

A scene from the Derry Girls but with the Marauders...
Remus: Can I ask something?
James: Yeah.
Remus: How much longer are we gonna ignore the elephant in the room?
Sirius: Where?
Remus: it's tomorrow boys. Tomorrow! Merlin, I feel sick.
Peter: Why? You're gonna walk it, Moony.
Remus: I know that! I'm not worried about me, I'm worried about you three. If you fail your OWLs the school won't take you back. I don't wanna have to make new friends from scratch, I'll have enough on my plate with the O-levels! I'm just praying you lot will scrape by!
James: That is very considerate of you, Moony.
Remus: I know.

In the future...
James gets engaged to Jenny Joyce.
The girls are all disgusted but pretend to support James.
Kathy is naturally delighted that James is marrying into a rich family and brags to anyone who will listen.
With the help of Michelle, Erin stops the wedding just before James and Jenny tie the knot and declares that she's in love with James and has been for many years. James hesitates but then realises he feels the same, so ditches Jenny at the altar and kisses Erin passionately. Finally, they are together.
Sister Michael says she was worried about missing the X Files but that the drama was much better entertainment.
Kathy is disappointed that she won't have a doctor's daughter as a daughter in law but everyone else in Derry now respects James and Erin for humiliating the Joyces.

Derry Girls Headcanon #6: James sang a cover of Galway Girl for Erin for their wedding anniversary but changed the “Galway girl” lyrics to “Derry girl” (Michelle wanted to boke while Orla and Clare found it endearing).

Jerin headcanon
As much as I love the headcanon that James and Erin get together in their 30s, that is just too long to wait for me 😭.
I think that one weekend James comes over to Erin's weekend. A boy has just broken up with her and he's comforting her and this is when she realises that she doesn't want to wait anymore. So she kisses him.
It takes them a while to be 'official' as they're still figuring stuff out. Eventually though, the whole gang is hanging out and Michelle just knows. So Erin and James decide to tell everyone and then they are 'officially girlfriend and boyfriend'.
I'm sorry that this post is a bit rushed, maybe it isn't what would actually happen, maybe it is. Who knows? But this is how I'd want it to go. Man, I just love love.

i'm 100% convinced if taylor swift had been around in the 90's all of the derry girls would be swifties, and me saying derry girls includes james.
michelle's favorite album would be reputation, because it fits her vibe of being a badass. i feel like her favorite song would be either end game, i did something bad, or maybe even look what you made me do? it would have to be one of the songs on there that give you that badass feeling.
james would be a lover stan with his favorite song being london boy. also i just feel like he's a romantic at heart so this album would speak to him.
erin's favorite would be 1989. it's a classic with peak pop music and i feel like that would be exactly what erin wants out of a taylor swift album. 100% her favorite song would be style. i won't elaborate.
clare's favorite has to be folklore. folklore is peak queer girl sad music, but I feel like clare would appreciate the complexities of the lyrics and the storytelling in the songs. her favorite would probably be betty or maybe even this is me trying.
now orla's a wild card. but in my headcanon i think i've decided she would like debut the best. i feel like orla's music taste would be all over the place, meaning she likes a bit everything. i could definitely see her jamming out to picture to burn and our song. i also feel like red could be a possible contender for her favorite. orla could go any way.
