James Potter absolutely has a “designated period snacks drawer” for Lily.

It’s restocked monthly. Alphabetized. Guarded like state secrets. No one’s allowed near it. Not even Sirius.

Yep, He’s that boyfriend. The “do you want your fuzzy socks and a hot water bottle too, love?” kind. Lily never has to ask. He’s already halfway to the kitchen.

When Lily realized she liked James back instead of asking him out she told him to ask her out again to give him that satisfaction of her saying yes send tweet

@hprecfest Day 17: A Fic That Makes You Cry

saying goodbye (to a best friend) by cosmicwritings @richardsikens [James/Lily, T, 8k]

"The bedroom door creeps open and Lily, through her snot and tears, is trying to apologise, because she knows Remus has an early shift at Tesco’s tomorrow morning and Peter has got to catch a train to visit his mum and Sirius hasn’t slept much, if at all, since the car crash. She’s trying to apologise, but Harry gets lifted out of her arms and Lily collapses into a sad puddle on the floor, hair in her eyes and mouth. Through the red streaks in her vision, she can see Sirius holding Harry and trying to sooth him, rocking him in his arms back and forth. She’s trying to apologise, but she can’t get any words out, can only see baby Harry and keeps thinking, James, I wish you were here, I need you here so badly." or lily becomes a uni student, a girlfriend, a dropout, a wife, a mother and a widow all in the span of four years.

There are a lot of fics that have made me cry—I have a whole tag dedicated to them—but this fic makes me cry. Full blown sobbing to the level that I have to take my glasses off. It’s not pretty. But oh do I love this fic dearly. It makes me cry, yes, but it also makes me laugh and cheer them on. I know what’s going to happen—it’s right there in the summary—but I find myself fervently hoping otherwise every time I read it. They’re so in love! They’re thriving! Everything is lovely and right! And then I’m as suddenly devastated as Lily is. Every! Single! Time!

So yeah, definitely read this but not until you’re safe at home with a handy box of tissue.

Wolfstar Fic Recs Part 3:

Fanfiction: Of Memories and Milk Thievery

Author: moonymoment

This fanfiction owns the second chance romance trop! The perfect mix of angst, longing, pining, and bittersweet memory flashbacks. A modern muggle AU featuring Remus and Sirius as a divorced couple who are struggling in their post-divorce journey to co-parent their son Teddy, but eventually find their way back together. James, Lily, and Harry are in this story too and the author really focuses on the friendships and the familial bonds between the four adults as well as the adolescent friendship between Teddy and Harry, who are around the same age. The interactions and characterizations really show how deep their relationship is as one big happy family. This fanfiction owns my heart and literally had me kicking and giggling at some moments but it also made me tear up at others. This is a prime example of why I love the second chance romance trope so much because there's just something so wonderful and soul healing about two lovers who have drifted apart but ultimately find their way back together.

Rate: 10/10

"The first time I saw you, Evans, I knew you'd be trouble!" James said as he grasped his wand. The wards were failing and they knew they would need a miracle to live through the night.

"I refuse to let those be your last words to me," Lily protested as she picked up Harry.

James grinned. Feral and powerful.

"Love you both. Always!" he said.

"Better!" Lily smiled, bright and determined.

i think dumbledore was growing weed in the forbidden forest the whole time and that’s why it was forbidden. that’s also why he acts the way he does.

Remus and Harry from chapter 14 of PoA

[toorumlk]

a beautiful little family.

He was about to go home, about to return to the place where he had had a family […] The life he had lost had hardly ever seemed so real to him as at this moment, when he knew he was about to see the place where it had been taken from him. (chapter 16, dh)

@hprecfest Day 30: Fic On Your TBR List That You're Most Excited To Read

Castling by @missgryffin [James/Lily, Remus & Lily, E, 20k]

When they were still very young, Remus Lupin’s dad married Lily Evans’ mum. It changes everything.

From the moment I read the summary I was hooked. I love Remus & Lily in any capacity, and this was very intriguing and it has James/Lily, which is a ship I love but don't read enough of. It seems like it has it all (canon divergence, interesting premise, slow burn) and I cannot wait to read it!!!

Me Reviewing Lily and James Fanfiction Part 24:

Fanfiction: The Wedding Ring

Author: mppmaraudergirl

I am an absolute sucker for second-chance romance and if you are too, then this is the Jily Fic for you. I read this in about two afternoons because it was just so good and I could not put it down. The quintessential Jily factors are there in which they both like each other but neither of them know it yet. This is also a fake-dating fic! Another one of the reasons why it’s so good. It’s a muggle AU where Lily asks James to be her fake date for her sister’s wedding and the story spirals from there. There’s jealous!James and jealous!Lily and a whole lot of pining. I just wish there were more interactions between Lily and the rest of the marauders.

Agony

For @microficmay day 9 - also on AO3

Lily arched as the pain hit. She was in agony and none of the calming charms would work.

"Just a little more," the Healer coaxed.

"You can do it," James panted as she squeezed his hand.

One more pain and... a wailing cry.

"It's a boy!" the Healer announced.
