love all, but love me best (james/lily)
lily gets james a valentine’s day card in fourth year for the first time
they’re standing the middle of the great hall at breakfast - the tables would be straining under the weight of all the fluffy sweets with hearts if it wasn’t magic - and he’s got his mates around him laughing at something peter’s just said about helena hornby’s awful new haircut
it’s one of those “i like you because” checklist cards with a bunch of boxes with things like “you have a nice butt” and “you give me goosebumps” and “you’re my best friend” and “you’re my one and only” written beside them. none of them are checked. after he gushes about it for thirty minutes he pauses and blinks. “er, wait, evans, none of these are checked”
“exactly” she says “because i don’t fucking like you, potter”
peter, the traitor, high-fives her as she leaves while sirius falls to the floor laughing his arse off between calls of “brilliant”
“close your gob prongs” remus says, grinning broadly “you’ll catch flies”
..
lily gets james a valentine’s day card in fifth year
he’s definitely scared because only four months ago he hung her ex-best-friend by his ankles and started a chain of events that led to snape becoming her ex-best-friend (though, he thought, in his defense snape was a death eater in training and it wasn’t like james made him say that awful thing to evans either but still he felt bad because evans was heartbroken for weeks afterwards and he didn’t much like to see evans sad) and it wasn’t like she was keen on him before
plus they’re alone in a hallway which is the perfect place to exact revenge in his very vengeance-adept mind
to call it a card would be generous, as it’s mostly a small piece of parchment potentially ripped off of an assignment in haste but on it, in unmistakably messy Lily handwriting, are six words:
you think we could be friends?
just before the next class he walks up to her, grinning as he slouches on top of her desk “y’know i think minnie’s got a pop quiz planned for us today”
“and how did you come by that information?” lily asks, audibly relaxed but physically tensed
“got a good gut on me evans” he responds “you should learn to trust it if we’re gonna do this friend thing”
“i’m sure i’ll figure it out, potter” she says as black takes a seat beside her
“good, marie” black grins, slinging an arm around her shoulder “cause now you’ve got all of us to put up with”
lily groans but if james is being honest she doesn’t look all that bothered by it
dorcas comes in later and shoves sirius out of the seat with a sharp “oi, she was my mate first so get in line, black” making lily laugh as her best mate squabbles with her new one
it’s only after class that james realizes that was the first time he’d heard lily laugh in weeks. quietly he vows to make it happen as often as possible.
.
lily gets james a valentine’s card in seventh year
it’s simultaneously been the best year and the worst year of his life, the war is looming overhead and he’s not going to admit it to anyone but himself but he’s shitting himself over it; merlin he’s only eighteen how the bloody hell is he supposed to fight a war with a grave as wide as this one? between classes he’s been practicing his defense spells, honing his reflexes with the snitch more often because he’ll be fucked by the giant squid before he’s too slow to save someone he loves
his mates are scared too and it’s getting harder to pretend they're invincible when vera macmillan and her whole family were killed only three months ago in an attack that nearly decimated the muggle neighborhood they lived in. sirius is fighting with slytherins like they’re already on the battlefield while remus worries himself out of his skin with what’s going to happen after hogwarts with rumors of werewolves being rounded up to fight for voldemort or killed otherwise. poor peter is barely focusing on anything except protecting himself in the halls ever since avery has found him to be a good plaything during particularly bored periods in the slytherin’s life
lily tells him she’s going to protect her family with the fidelius charm as soon as she figures out how to work it and as much as it stings it’ll be best if she cannot find them either. she’ll ask dorcas to be the secret keeper, she says. her parents will be safe and petunia already hates her so she’ll likely never associate with her ever again; that might keep her safe for a while
but between those terrible moments they try to be as carefree as they can be. sirius lets slip that he’s never used a crayon (”that is a fucking TRAVESTY black!”) so he and lily spend weeks hunting down a box and writing letters to each other using only crayons. remus and pete develop a new shampoo that turns the unfortunate wearer’s head green which sirius uses deliberately over christmas so “me and marie can be christmas twins” (lily’s ensuing punch lacks force as she’s laughing too hard). dorcas, mary, lily, and marley get punch-drunk behind the greenhouses on halloween staring up at the stars talking about their dreams instead of attending the marauders’ party (”talk about a fucking travesty, lil” “we’ll invite you next time, remus” “that’s all i ask”)
and one day by the lake lily is lying her head on james’ chest, her wiry red hair spilling all over the ground like wine and james definitely feels drunk on it. they’ve been talking about quidditch for twenty minutes when lily suddenly looks up at him, eyes bright, and stops james’ breath in its tracks.
“go out with me potter” she says, grinning toothily
“yeah, okay” he says casually “on one condition”
“what’s that?”
“you kiss me”
“i can do that” she says crawling up to face him, her chest half on on his, her waist under his hands, and her heart spilling on her sleeve “i can definitely do that”
it’s, quite simply, the best kiss in the history of kisses. he’ll have to thank her later for doing such a tremendous job of kissing him, hoping that she’ll be so grateful for the compliment that she’ll keep doing it
for the rest of their lives, ideally
"oh” she says pulling away “i have a card for you”
“was i supposed to get you a card?” james asks suddenly nervous “we’ve only just kissed but i can get you one right now if you want”
lily only laughs handing him a crumpled piece of paper. when he unfurls it he laughs as she jumps to her feet and starts darting back towards the castle. he gives chase as he’s meant to, catching her on the top of the hill and spinning her until they’re both dizzy. the card flutters to the ground
REASONS I LOVE YOU it says at the top
and this time all the boxes are checked.

James getting nowhere when he flirts with Peter, leading him to overcompensate when he flirts with Lily, leading him into a complete and utter turmoil because one won't get it and the other thinks he's just doing it to be a prat.

James/Lily, Cuddling
for @valiantlyangryfoxblr
The rain pounded down on the roof, a steady droning that would have been enough to lull him to sleep if he wasn’t currently wrapped around Lily.  James found it difficult to sleep when she stayed over.  
Her fingers dragged slowly up his spine, continuing up his neck and into his hair.  “Penny for your thoughts?”  
He chuckled.  “I’d have to make change…”  
“I’ve got the time.”  
He turned over to tuck his head down beside hers.  “Just thinking about how I could be sleeping, but your bony arse is keeping me awake, Evans…”  
She reached down to pinch his arm playfully.  “Funny, I don’t recall you complaining about my ‘bony arse’ an hour ago…”

i found myself looking through your de tag and this happened :’)
(by @ephemeren // @sweetlesslyy)
(REN PLS I’M IN T E A R S)
.
.
James didn’t think he could get any happier than this.
It was his first date with Evans –
Lily, he had to remind himself with a giddy grin. He could call her Lily now, as the girl herself informed him. “Might as well start, since we’re dating now. Reckon it’ll be weird if you keep calling me by my last name.”
After so long of referring to her as such though, a part of him still preferred Evans; felt that, to him, she’d always be Evans, but he’s elated to have that option.
– and it was going amazingly. They’re holding hands. Lily was talking animatedly with the most beautiful grin on her face, eyes bright and sparkling, her hair glittering as the sun hit it just right, and if James was being honest he hadn’t the slightest clue what she was saying because he got distracted the second she tangled her fingers with his, his heart’s pounding making it hard to concentrate on the words of her sweet voice and Merlin he hoped his palm wasn’t as sweaty as it felt.
Nonetheless, he was in bliss, and it wasn’t until they were almost to the Three Broomsticks that a flash of white caught James’ attention, ripping it away from his date, the Lily Evans, which certainly was a feat in itself he believed, only for him to choke back the strangled noise rising from the back of his throat at the sight that greeted him.
I’m going to fucking kill them, best friends and sister or not it doesn’t matter anymore.
‘GET SOME!’ read the sign that Sirius waved around like some deranged maniac, with what he supposed was a wide, encouraging grin on his face. Next to him, his sister, his own bloody twin, was holding up and pointing exaggeratedly at a small packet that he had to squint to determine what it was before she realized his plight and shifted her fingers so it unfurled into a long strip of—
A furious blush took over his face and immediately he flipped them the bird, glaring murder and shaking his fist to show just how much he appreciated their efforts.
Put those away! He forcefully mouthed at his sister as they passed, gesturing rudely at the strip of condoms she held out in broad fucking daylight. For good measure he also added, GO. AWAY.
“James?” came Lily’s voice, and James whipped his head around, alarmed. He relaxed if only a little bit, because Lily’s slightly curious look meant she hadn’t seen the traitors yet.
“Huh? Yes?” he asked her with an anxious grin. Please don’t look back, please don’t look back.
She cocked her head, blinking, and James prayed to Merlin and then Morgana as they kept walking that she didn’t turn around. Instead she ducked her head, a light blush blooming along her freckled cheeks. “I’m rambling, aren’t I?” she said with a nervous laugh and a scratch to the cheek.
“I like listening to you ramble,” James admitted, honest and earnest, and though she rolled her eyes at him, she also huffed out a little laugh under her breath, his heart tripping at the genuine look of warmth that broke out across her face because of his words.
James sent a silent thanks to Merlin, and soon enough they had made it to the entrance of the Three Broomsticks.
Just as they were about to slip inside, he chanced another look over his shoulder while he held the door for Lily to check if they were gone.
They weren’t, but at least Sirius had put the sign away even if he looked to be pouting about it. Kagome, on the other hand, saw him looking and grinned as she dangled the condoms with a look to ask, “Are you sure?”
He whirled away and headed into the building, stepping in and shutting the door with a little bit more force than he cared to admit.

hellooooo i am new here so idk if you have answered this before but i was wondering if u have a fc for lily?? trying to escape to my mind palace by watching all of theogony like its a movie in my head and this is the final piece i need
oh god. DO I EVER!!!!
(cue: all of my mutuals laughing at me)
May I introduce you to: Sophie Skelton as Brianna Fraser from Outlander!! Barring the non-green eyes (though there are edits and manips where good samaritans have fixed that), I just…love this fc. I think she has a wryness and an attitude that matches my Lily, and 1) many of her outfits are from the 1960s, which (although not the 70s) allows for reasonably period-accurate gifs and pictures for inspo. ALSO 2) as you will see below, there is a scene where she wears the same type of hat as Movie!Lily, which I have jokingly dubbed “the hat parallel” and is my favorite thing ever. Plus 3) she is from a suburb of Manchester! Which is where my Lily is from!! I love her northern accent and I always apply it in my head to Lily’s dialogue.
When I’m writing, I mostly don’t see faces so much as vague people-shapes and faceless characters, but when I’m reading I love to picture Sophie Skelton because she is just 🤌🤌🤌

Counting Backwards (31-40/∞)
100-word drabbles for a range of ships. *Requests always welcome! Repeats allowed~*
Chapters 31-40: [FFN] [AO3] | ←   → | start from the beginning
Pairings/Characters: James Potter/Lily Evans–Potter, Lavender Brown/Louis Weasley, Narcissa Malfoy/Neville Longbottom, Luca Caruso/Alice Tolipan, Narcissa/Walden Macnair, Marietta Edgecombe/Lee Jordan, Dean Thomas/Dominique Weasley, Lysander Scamander/Lavender, Irma Pince/Percy Weasley, & Lavender/Lorcan Scamander
Rating: K+
Words: 1,000 collectively
Additional info: romance, cross gen, family, angst, hurt/comfort, Harry's era, Next Gen era, 3rd person POV
Summary: Because, actually, destruction is the most beautiful thing of all… These are the countdowns until everything falls apart. | Various pairings, eras, ratings, etc. Includes het, slash, femslash, cross-gen, next-gen, but nothing too bad. Read it all or only what you like!
31: JamesLily
                 James left to fume. Sometimes he got bothered by this business—a war, a family, and constant danger. Sure, the Marauders had always put themselves in the line of fire before, but that had been all play. At the end of the day, they'd just wanted to enjoy their youth.
               Sometimes James wondered if he'd rushed things with Lily. Maybe she wasn't the gal for him. And sometimes it really did feel like that, with Harry in the middle, coming between them. Obviously he cared for his son, but sometimes it was hard to believe Lily still cared about James….
32: LavenderLouis
                 He was just a pretty thing. He was something to collect and put away to enjoy from time to time in the future.
               At least, that was how Lavender would've liked to treat him. But Louis wasn't looking for something like that. For being such a young man, he sure had grand plans for the future. He wanted the whole picture—kids, pets, and the white picket fence.
               But that time was behind Lavender. Or maybe it never had arrived for her. Maybe it was the wolf in her telling her to let go…
               He was just a pretty thing.
33: NarcissaNeville
                 It was sick, so deliciously sick.
               He was a victim of her generation. Her sister had stolen his family from him. Her husband had made his world dangerous. Her son had made his life hell.
               She almost felt that he would be her victim, too.
               He was a bright, kind boy with soft-spoken words that any witch longed to hear. He was a handsome young man ready to move on with his life. He was a talented wizard with a gift to change the world.
               All Narcissa had to offer him was her horror stories and her tales of regret.
34: LucaAlice T
                 Softly, he said he didn't have time for her.
               He was too busy figuring out what to do after school, after war. His best mates had their interests—Nigel would go into the wireless business (he had a voice for wireless) and Dennis would continue with photography and maybe someday teach (because Dennis had the patience for both, and one thing had to be done to keep the memory of Colin alive).
               But Luca? He was decent at Gobstones and good with his wand. But that didn't mean much for him.
               And Alice was distracting enough as a hobby alone.
35: NarcissaWalden
                 Narcissa scrunched her nose up. "That's him?"
               Lucius turned. "Ah, yes. Walden Macnair. Poor bloke. The years haven't been very good to him."
               "Ha! That's saying something."
               Her husband raised a curious eyebrow. "While I agree, I am surprised, Cissy, to hear you be so vocal. You usually aren't, considering how your sisters look these days."
               Narcissa huffed but didn't answer him. She didn't appreciate him bringing up both sisters (or really either of them, since one was crazy and the other was no good). But he'd never know of her and Walden's old flirtations from a lifetime long gone….
36: MariettaLee
                 It all came crumbling down, apart, to pieces…
               What they'd built was a house of cards. The ground layer consisted of flimsy, one-sided attraction on Lee's part. The next layer up was Marietta's desire to take anyone's loving (because she would never shake being a "sneak"). The next level up was made of Lee's promises to give her the perfect life and the perfect children—anything and everything she could ever want. After that, Marietta gave him two children and no more. Then after, Lee said, "I love you."
               Things crumbled with her top layer: an affair with Roger Davies…
37: DeanDominique
                 "It's for revenge purposes," she told him.
               Dean didn't understand that part of it. It was the kind of thing that he expected to come out of Lavender's mouth, not Dominique's. Dominique had everything going for her—quiet smarts, easy beauty, and a rather pleasant personality. He enjoyed the time he spent with her—didn't she understand that? How could he make her understand that?
               Perhaps that was the trouble with dating again not long after a breakup, and they'd both made that mistake.
               "Love isn't a weapon of revenge, Dom," he told her.
               Her eyes softened…before she left.
38: LysanderLavender
                 Lavender called it a "love do-si-do."
               Lysander hated that. He wanted a girl to treasure—it'd been the same with Dominique. But then they'd broken up and they came to learn that Lavender and Dean had broken up, too, and the next thing Lysander knew, Lavender was on his arm, just as pretty as his last witch.
               And Dominique was on Dean's, acting as though nothing had ever happened between her and Lysander.
               Lysander looked to Lavender, knowing well that the older woman probably would leave if Dean looked her way.
               He wasn't expecting to look Dominique's way again first….
39: PincePercy
                 Irma liked that he appreciated rules and structure. He had been an adult in a boy's body. Percy Weasley—a man born for her just a few decades too late.
               Still, he showed an interest in her. Before his last year was up, almost all of his time was spent in the library, helping her and chatting with her (when noise was allowed, of course). And, after he'd graduated, he visited when he could, because they were like minds, kindred spirits.
               Yet all good things must come to an end, just as they did when he took a Ministry job.
40: LavenderLorcan
                 Lavender was forty today, February eleventh. All she could hear was the sound of her heartbeat.
               She heard the sound of Lorcan's, too. He, in his nubile twenties, waited patiently for her to blow out the candles on the cake he'd made her. Good Merlin, a Healer and a cook and a romantic—he was too good for her. She could hear his heartbeat, too.
               She noted that they weren't in sync. His beat so much faster than hers did.
               When she blew out the candles, she wished for him to find his happiness elsewhere. Their heartbeats would never match.
Remarks for—
Ch31: For autumn midnights, as requested with the prompt "middle."
Ch34: For autumn midnights, as requested with the prompt "softly." Explanation: Luca Caruso and Alice Tolipan are two VERY minor charries who were a part of the D.A. I place them in the same year as Dennis Creevey and Nigel Wolpert in my head-canon. Read "the girl with the pink ribbon," "Different," and "I'm Only Paying My Respects" for more of them.
Ch36: For Paint Splat, as requested in the M&MWP Drabble Tag with the prompt "house of cards."
Ch37: To be continued…in ch.38!
Ch38: I wanted to try something a little different, and these 2 drabbles allowed for that. I find it interesting that Sander doubted Lav, when he was the first to return to their old ways, though.
Thanks for reading, and feel free to leave an anon/unsigned review via the FFN link or comment via the AO3 link at the top of the post, especially if you enjoyed this!

Sonia and Sirius out for a stroll together during the autumnal season.
They begrudgingly agreed to go on a double date with Lily and James -- Sonia to ease Lily's nerves; Sirius to prevent things from getting too awkward.
Once Sonia noticed Lily becoming more comfortable, she demanded that Sirius buy her some chocolate frogs from Honeyduke's, like a good date should. He tried to argue, but Sonia grabbed his hand and dragged him away.
Maybe he's not as terrible as he seems...

december: have you ever gifted a fic to someone?
yes! i wrote a jameslily fic for my long-distance friend’s 19th birthday a couple of years ago. it has been a long time! but i think gifting someone a piece of art or writing is one of the kindest things you can do.

James/Lily, First kiss
for @reprehensiblewombat
Lily couldn’t stop smiling, her hand clasped tightly at his.  She didn't’ care at all that his palms were sweaty.  If nothing else, it meant she made him nervous.  And she wanted to make James Potter nervous.  She lived for it.  
She was walking on air and it came as a complete surprise when he tugged at her hand, pulling her closer.  “Can I kiss you, Lily?” he asked, his voice cracking slightly, causing him to gulp after.  
“Can you?  I dunno...let’s see, shall we?” She leaned forward to close the distance between them. She pressed her lips firmly to his and gasped into his mouth as his hand snaked around her lower back.  She wrapped her arms around his neck and tilted her head.  
Heat pooled in her belly and she felt a touch light-headed when he ended the kiss.  She’d never admit chasing his lips afterwards, but she did, pulling him back for more.
