till forever falls apart by ashe and finneas

okay first of all: damn. d a m n what a song. second of all:

this is the ideal song for a jily wartime wedding

I think I’d start it off with the saat phere (as I’ve learned, a hindu wedding tradition where the couple circles a fire (symbolizing agni) seven times, reciting their vows while tied to each other)

to be more precise, in the sixth round of the saat phere, where the bride and groom ask for a peaceful long life with each other, bc i enjoy irony & pain

but u know it would all be very happy!! maybe just a little simmer of the war going on, a mention of a few empty seats at the wedding but not much aside from that

we all know that lily’s sister is shit so instead of petunia stealing james’ shoes (joota chupai) we’re going with the found family route so it would be Sirius, Remus, Dorcas, Marlene and Mary (and Peter) hiding the shoes

it’d be absolute c h a o s

they were planning on scouting out the wedding venue beforehand to find a good place to hide it

but hadn’t gotten around to it (too much order missions)

and so everyone’s looking for a good hiding place at the very last minute

Marlene, however, has a plan

She goes up to euphemia potter and says: ‘isn’t it a lovely wedding? Such a shame that I don’t have sunscreen, I burn so easily,’

‘Oh dear,’ Euphemia says, ‘no need to worry, here, take my keys, I’ve always got some in my car,’

(marlene knew that already)

(marlene is planning a heist)

(or, at least, that’s what she likes to call it in her head)

she hides the shoes in James’ car

when she comes running back, there’s practically no time before dorcas takes her arm and apparates them

there’s been a death eater attack

lily and james are on the front lines, still in their wedding attire, although james has lost his dupatta and they aren’t tied together anymore

there’s debris everywhere and they’re busy shooting spells

and they’d been living in a bubble for a bit, and lily can admit that but it’d been so nice ignoring everything that was going on

‘can’t believe i have to share you with dumbledore on my wedding day,’ she says

james scoffs a bit, and he’d love to engage in some fun banter but he’s a bit busy evading a stunning spell

‘that almost sounds as if you aren’t having a good time right now,’

lily laughs, ‘well, i had the best time falling into love, nothing can really top that,’

‘yeah,’ james says, a tad wistfully, ‘for a while i was all yours,’

‘fucking dumbledore,’

‘fucking dumbledore,’ james agrees, ‘but at least I’m not married to him,’

‘luckily for me,’ lily hits someone who was about to attack james, ‘but i know it’s only a matter of time before you leave me for him,’

‘what?’ james gasps, affronted, taking her hand and running to where they can see remus and sirius sitting (they haven’t seen mary for a bit. they don’t mention it), ‘don’t say that, i’ll be yours forever’

till forever falls apart, lily thinks, but she doesn’t say it out loud

‘finally you’re joining us,’ sirius calls out, ‘what were you doing back there, having a romantic date?’

he says it the same way he used to in school, eyebrow wiggling and all

‘oh, we were,’ james says, ‘but we realized there’s nothing more romantic than dying with your friends,’

and it shouldn’t be funny, because it’s just a little too close to the truth

but they laugh, what other option do they have?

(crying in the midst of battle isn’t a good idea)

and this fic would end

well

we all know how it ends, don’t we?
