Humor, Fluff, Fun–Dialogue Prompts

In retrospect, this is not what I had in mind when I said surprise me.

I blame you for this.

Technically speaking, this is not my fault.

Please, I know exactly what I’m doing.

This is not what college prepared me for.

Ah yes, betrayal.  I am familiar with that.

I take it, that’s not a good thing?

You’re really good at dodging questions, aren’t you?

Well, that is highly unfortunate.

You are delightful.

We’re friends now, sorry, there’s no escaping it.

I made us friendship bracelets.

We might have a problem, ask me again in twenty minutes.

Manners? Never heard of them.

Why is there a dog on the couch?  We don’t have a dog.

Hm, this is a terrible idea // that’s not going to stop us right? // oh absolutely not

I/You/They’ve made some very interesting life choices.

I don’t think that’s supposed to be on fire.

Sorry, pumpkin. // Don’t call me that.

Don’t worry, with enough glitter no one should notice.

I’m off to commit murder or buy ice cream, I haven’t decided yet.

You ate the last slice of cake, you’re dead to me now.

Well, you’re just a ball of sunshine, huh?

You bring the bad decisions, I’ll bring the popcorn.

Tell me a secret?

All we have is time and all I have is you.

Hold my hand?

I like having you by my side.

 Please, you know you missed me.

You didn’t think you could buy me off with cake did you?

I might, might, have made a mistake.

All things considered, this could have been worse.

Nope. Nope.  Nope.  I don’t like this.

You’re cute when you make that face.

Welcome home, baby.

I missed you so much.

You always have my attention.

I’m hungry // You’re always hungry

Ask nicely // No, thank-you  // I tried.

See, there’s no problem.  I know exactly what I’m doing.

Make me.

Say that again.

Why do you have that?

Those words don’t mean what you think they do.

Hey, babe, I need a favor.

Do you love me?

You’re my best friend.

In my defense, I had no idea what I was doing.

Whose idea was it to start running?

This wouldn’t be illegal would it?

My tongue can be quite spontaneous // Really? // Not like that!

I’m sorry, but I can’t take you seriously like that.

Can I have a kiss for luck?

Did you miss me?

We’re going to hug now, no arguments.

You’re touch starved, get over here.

Am I irresponsible?  Maybe.

Making questionable decisions is my birthright.

Are you sure you know what you’re doing?

Let’s take a moment to recognize that I had nothing to do with this.

I love your smile.

You’ve got stars in your eyes.

You’re perfect in every way.

Dance with me?

We’re going to watch the sunrise.

I kissed you because I wanted to. Dumbass.

It’s impossible to say no to you.

“So happy it’s Thursday,” make an acronym out of that…

Are you eating ice cream for breakfast?

Here, I made this for you // It’s a flower crown // Yes, it is.

━。゜✿ jily fic recommendations ✿ ゜。━

These fics are set in the wizarding world but aren’t necessarily canon complaints.

For reference, anything in italics is taken from the summaries on ao3.

I ain’t missing you at all  (requires an ao3 account) by @blitheringmcgonagall

Set post first wizarding war. "Lily Evans disappeared just when the war with Voldemort ended. Nobody knows why she left. James Potter doesn't care. He hasn't missed her at all."

It reads like a character study. All of the repressed emotions are so well-portrayed that I could picture all their facial expressions and body language. The dynamic between Lily and the marauders really illustrated how she wasn't just James' girlfriend - she was their friend too. I just wanted to give them all a hug.

Up In Arms by @mppmaraudergirl

When Lily jokingly tells her owl to deliver a letter to "the love of her life", i.e. Marlene McKinnon, her owl misinterprets the directive and, to her horror, her ode to James Potter’s arms lands squarely in his lap.

The banter in this one is so good that it made my friend fall back in love with jily's dynamic and read fics again

Evergreen and Pine by @tinyluminaryzombie

Lily Evans is stuck in a closet with Sirius. All Sirius wants to talk about is exactly what she's trying not to think about: James Potter.

Or: A seven minutes in heaven that's more like seven minutes of sweet sweet interegation ft. Lily and Sirius.

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes by @jfleamont

Lily's an overthinker, but fear not, James knows exactly what to say to cheer her up.

Because Lily being a stress smoker is canon (to me)

All The Things I Would Do also by @/ jfleamont

Lily can't stop thinking about James' hands.

Anything Leda writes is great so go do yourself a favour and go read her works

I’ve Got My Hate to Keep Me Warm by @dizzy–bird

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.

Kat's poem from 10 Things I Hate About You

Hemispheres by @ohmygodshesinsane

James Potter and Lily Evans have set aside their schoolyard animosities for the sake of the Order of the Phoenix, but when they are enlisted to race Lord Voldemort across the world to prevent him from corrupting the very nature of death, tensions run high. In all manners.

Lily's characterisation in this one is so good

No One Knows Us by @annasghosts

As Fifth Year begins, Lily Evans is certain of a few things: she’s proud to be a Muggle-born witch, despite what Petunia might think; Severus Snape is still a loyal friend and whatever confusing feelings she has as she watches James Potter strut around the castle must be squashed because he’s nothing, but an arrogant toerag.

In which Lily gets the dynamic character treatment that she deserves.

51 Minutes to Change Your Mind by @sosohh

When Muggle-Born Oliver Wood becomes an extremely successful cyclist for the British Cycling team, both muggle and magical ministries have to come up with a plan to make sure all is fair. Enter James Potter and Lily Evans.

The Art of Self-Defense by cgner (on ao3)

Gilmore Girls AU in which "after seventeen years of single parenting, she now has to manage a persistent James, nosy villagers, and a son who's all too interested in joining the Order."

[magixbeans]

James and Lily were snogging in the stairs, kind of disturbing people’s passage, so Sirius hex James from the opposite stair in order to make a mustache to grow over his lips while Lily was kissing him. James thought it was the most hilarious thing and Lily was just used to Sirius. just a very random and silly moment.

[magixbeans]

Tairn being the best character in Fourth Wing:

"pronunciation could use some work"

"You bleeding. Stop it."

"You making us look bad. Stop it"

"You only fell about a dozen times that trip"

"The closest translation for humans is probably 'for fuck's sake'"

"And i could call you violence like the wingleader"

"This grumby ass just caught you a dozen times, Silver one."

"Stubborn silver human"

“Never. I’ll burn him alive before he takes a single step toward you.”

"I hear it’s all the fashion"

"Should i get the wingleader?"

"Golden one" and "Silver one"

"No chance of that happening. I'm not letting her off my back, wingleader"

"Tell him if he harms you, I'll scorch the ground where he stands"

[magixbeans]

did anyone else just picture the american ninja warrior obstacle course when violet described the gauntlet no matter what new fucked up detail she added??

[magixbeans]

Fourth Wing Spoilers!!

Oh to have an enemy who gives you custom made daggers specific to your body.

[magixbeans]

decided that my favorite book trope is when the female love interest is in mortal peril and the male main character goes absolutely fucking feral to protect her

[magixbeans]

Men are more interesting in books than they are in real life.

I have wanted to commission this scene so badly 😭

I love Xaden and Violet with all my heart 😭 Fourth Wing has completely taken over my life! I cannot wait to read Iron flame 🙏🏼 just put in my pre-ordered copy! I cannot wait!

Thank you so much to Gus like always for doing such a wonderful job with my idea and bringing it to life 🥹♥️

[magixbeans]

Xaden: So you sister was casually poisioning everyone

Brennan: *being extremly proud of her*

[magixbeans]

Xaden yelling "WELL THE FUCK AWARE" at Violet is honestly so funny to me. Like that is PEAK exasperated husband energy.

“And he came… first his head, then his body, tall and untidy-haired like Harry, the smoky shadowy form of James Potter blossomed from the end of Voldemort’s wand, fell to the ground, and straightened like his wife. He walked close to Harry, looking down at him, and spoke in the same distant, echoing voice as the others, but quietly, so that Voldemort, his face now livid with fear as his victims prowled around him, could not hear…”

-Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Priori Incantatem, pg. 667

[magixbeans]

the way expecto patronum literally translates to i await a guardian and the way harry's patronus is his father...

[magixbeans]

[magixbeans]

like James Potter, I too am obsessed with Lily Evans and Sirius Black

[magixbeans]

friendly reminder that at 21 Sirius Black was ready to give up his entire life for Harry and fourteen years later he did just that.

[magixbeans]

I agree that the marauders are great nerds! I

I honestly think the fandom often gets Sirius's personality completely wrong (example: "he's so dramatic" → the most dramatic thing Sirius did was get pissed off in front of the person who betrayed him, his friends and killed innocent upon innocent... Or the fact that he is portrayed as "stupid" when in the books he is described as "brilliant" and has some of the wisest sentences in the saga - so much so that one of his quotes in the films is made to say to Dumbledore). I admit that this deeply annoys me😅. I don't see how anyone can consider themselves a fan of a character if they then completely change them (both aesthetically and character-wise).

However, if there's one thing I'm grateful for in the marauders fandom, it's the change they've made to James' personality! In the beginning he was made out to be a playboy (ad an asshole), when according to what's written in the books the guy was simply lost in love, a bit childish, noble, incredibly loyal (and put a stop to murders against his enemies!).

I have a question I've been wanting to ask you for a while: what do you think of Peter? I know that many people think he was just scared, while others see him as a bit of a demon: curious to know what you think

Thank you very much for your attention 💖

another ask buried in my inbox! I agree with you about Sirius. Frankly, the drama queen characterization gets me to nope out of a fic so fast. One whiff of "Jamie" or "Remi" and that x button and I get intimate real fast.

anyway, this got a bit long (shocking) so adding a read more

I find James' evolution to be interesting! Especially since I've been around (in and out, granted) the fandom for so long. I remember him being a real asshole (and Lily shrill and bossy) in some stories and really aggressive in his pursuit of Lily. There's also the competing complete simp for Lily (never so much as looks at another girl) vs popular jock garnering a lot of attention (and capitalizing on it). I suppose he was somewhere in the middle of both of those, but they're fun to explore in different ways for sure.

(And not to get off topic, but I will say that Lily has had a great transformation, too. She was basically Hermione in early iterations of fic. Or she was so shrill and angry with James that shipping them together, best case, made no sense, and worse case, exemplified a toxic relationship. Granted, when I first started reading/writing Jily, the last two books weren't released and we did learn a decent bit about her after that. Now it's really great to see her written vibrantly, funny, passionate, emotional, and bantering with James which is obviously something I eat up.)

Oh Peter. Honestly, I see Peter as a good strategist. He's really perceptive and that's something he can use to his advantage because he's not often in the spotlight and was easily overlooked. Of course he had insecurities too, especially if he tried to measure himself against Sirius and James and their popularity, accomplishments, etc. To some degree, he went along with what the others wanted to do, even if he wasn't completely sold on it. Eager to be included and not left behind, he learned to become an animagus and he joined the Order, both things he never would have suggested on his own

Do I think he was evil, biding his time, or really pro-LV the whole time? Nah. I'm sure he shared similar beliefs to the other boys and wasn't anti-muggle/muggle-born. I think his descent really came from his insecurities and the loosening of their friendship bond. Between going undercover or going off on missions, the boys living separately after all of that time together, then James getting married and starting a new family unit with Lily, Peter started wavering. And once the cracks started, the right words from the wrong person would have him flip-flopping to the other side. Interestingly, because I have this characterization of Peter, I don't often (ever?) write him as betraying his friends in any of the AU/divergent stories I've written. I think the crushing threat of LV and the exhaustion of fighting are what triggered his betrayal. So in a non-LV word, I think they remain pals.
