#jily texting au

[soupyloopyx]

Lily: Ok! I'm Lily, she/her, I am an aquarius, and there used to be this creepy af guy who was obsessed with me and followed me into an ice cream shop and stalked me for like six years, haha! I nominate Remus to introduce himself next. Wake up bitch!!

[Marauders Rule!] Prongs: oh shit Prongs: that was me Prongs: um Padfoot: ahaha knew it

[lilyflowerpot]

writing the next chapter of my marauders texting au and GOD DAMN I LOVE THIS

[juniperpyre]

like later of course james and lily become acquainted and james it like "let me show you how to ride a horse, miss," and lily is like "i can ride a horse and birth a calf and plow a field and raise a barn, mr. potter, i'm not a lady, i'm a woman." so james is like "yes, ma'am, i do apologize"

and then lily assumes james is all talk but he's not, and she's always wanted to go out west and see the ocean and the trees people can live in, but her pa doesn't want her to, but maybe here's her chance?

and one day they go out together, idk why, to shoot rabbits or something, but disaster strikes! and they have to camp out alone overnight. james wants to be a gentleman but lily said she's not a lady

and anyway. lit by red flames, all sweaty and dirty from the prairie, james actually gets to teach lily something for once

Snow in June by BrigidFaye (25.561 words) Rating: Mature Relationships: Sirius Black/Remus Lupin, minor Marlene McKinnon/Dorcas Meadowes, minor James Potter/Lily Evans Potter

magical AU

Summary: Remus Lupin clashes with every old money, pureblood New Yorker he meets. They’re the trustees he shouted at from protests, the college president whose office he picketed, the board members whose orders he ignored. They are elitists who look sideways at his blood status and back away in alarm when he’s not cowed by their lunaphobia. Currently they're the guests who don't always respect the wilderness retreat where he now works as a caretaker. This winter, Remus has been working with the wealthiest, most impeccably pedigreed downstater he’s ever known. And damn it if James Potter isn’t growing on him. Working with James' best man isn't going to complicate anything… is it?

Comment: This was such a wonderful magical AU, and it has awakened a deep love for lumberjack Remus in me that I didn't know I had before, but now I want MORE! I love BrigidFaye's writing, and all the magical elements in the story, especially the tume bubbles were just so wonderful, I loved everything about this fic!!

WhatsApp Chat

Private: Euphemia Potter, James Potter

Euphemia Potter: James, darling. Might you bring a bottle of Chardonnay over tonight?

James Potter: Sure Mum. Will swing by on the way and grab it : )

Euphemia Potter: Darling, if I wanted the Chardonnay from up the road I would walk there myself. Please pick it up from the little shop a few blocks from your office.

James Potter: What little shop?

Euphemia Potter: oh, have you not been? It’s the most glorious little place. The oak barrels they age their product in gives the wine so much depth James.

James Potter: How different can oak barrels be, really??? I’m not at work, I’m at home. Which you know, because it’s a Sunday!

Euphemia Potter: Oh, I must have gotten confused since you seem to live at work lately. I’m sure it won’t be too much trouble to pop by. You’re much closer than I am!

James Potter: Would you even know the difference Mum?

Euphemia Potter: Stop questioning the person who went through thirty hours of labour for you and instead bring me my Chardonnay.

James Potter: You can’t use that excuse every time.

Euphemia Potter: I can and I will. See you at six.

WhatsApp Group Chat

Members: Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Euphemia Potter, Fleamont Potter

Sirius Black: He’s in the store. We are a block away. Thanks for the binoculars, Fleamont.

Fleamont Potter: Effie tells me missing the nesting of the Spotted Flycatcher is but a small sacrifice

Remus Lupin: Are you sure we should be doing this @Euphemia Potter. Following James is a step towards a line I don’t want to cross.

Euphemia Potter: Then simply draw the line elsewhere darling.

Sirius Black: Lol. Don’t worry, I already kicked the line away from Rem

Euphemia Potter: Remember, don’t get too close! 

And don’t follow James home or he may suspect something.

Take a different route home.

Sirius Black: Don’t worry mum, I bought a car for the occasion. He won’t recognise it.

Remus Lupin: And buying a new car doesn’t seem like an extreme measure?

Euphemia Potter: Excellent idea, my darling boy!

Remus Lupin: Wow, I am the only one with reason here.

I would like it noted that I am reporting this under duress. 

But it seems that they are getting along splendidly.

Shall we leave them to it?

Euphemia Potter: Of course they are!

Nonsense!

You must stay and see if they leave together.

Sirius Black: Mum, I hate to break it to you.

But no matter how much they get along, James is not going to invite her over for family dinner after a ten minute flirt

Remus Lupin: 23 minutes actually 

Euphemia Potter: We’ll see about that.

Remus Lupin: Euphemia. What exactly did you do?

Fleamont Potter: Let’s just say Effie had already set six places at the table at 8am this morning

Remus Lupin: And what were you going to do if James didn’t invite her?

Sirius Black: Lol love you don’t understand. 

Mum already invited Lily

My guess is she did it a few days ago 

When she visited us at work.

About right Mum?

Euphemia Potter: See you at six Xx

All the Harry Potter fanfic on AO3 ranked by kudos #13

Text talk by merlywhirls

Main ship: wolf star

Word count: 141,250

This fic felt very nostalgic. It’s very reminiscent of middle school texting eras. Almost the entire fic is displayed through text messages, I think there were only 10 scenes in person. Content warnings for nothing this is general audiences. It’s long though. Now for a summary. Sirius Black accidentally texts the wrong number when he gets a new phone. The stranger is funny and so they keep texting. They talk a lot and wind up developing feelings for each other. Mysterious texted is chronically ill and Sirius Black goes to a fancy boarding school. Yep guys, this is a non magic au.

This fic felt like my entire 8th grade relationship summed up. Except we met in person, not online. But this is literally exactly what our texts read like. But I’m not sure that’s an entirely good thing. This fic read like a middle school writing. It’s very juvenile in text and subject matter. Perhaps this is just second hand cringe from my days, but I couldn’t stop cringing at this fic. I had these exact same experiences with online strangers. Reflecting back, they were entirely blown out of proportion and very very juvenile. Maybe that hindsight ruins this fic for me. It was just to personal for me to get fully into it.

But now for an objective perspective. I think the relationship between Lupin and Sirius was really wholesome. There is no smut in this and it’s very slow burn. It’s like watching your younger siblings fall in love and meet their soulmate. The author was able to create a close relationship despite them not meeting in person until 3/4 of the fic had passed. That’s very difficult so kudos to them.

I enjoyed the way all the characters were characterized through text fonts and style. For example, Sirius was all bold text, Remus was underlined, James was regular etc. it was very interesting to see personality from literal text symbols on a screen. It worked quite well.

My lasting impression of this fic was there was very minimal plot and I felt flung back to middle school. I didn’t particularly enjoy middle school so I was not a fan of that. I would recommend this to someone CURRENTLY in middle school. I think they’ll be able to relate to the syntax quite well and appreciate the text culture more than my ancient person can.

━。゜✿ jily fic recommendations ✿ ゜。━

Some more AUs I've been loving. I'm trying to alternate between AU and canon verse rec lists so bear with me. Remember that if you like a fic you should definitely let the author know as such.

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

theogony by @clare-with-no-i

The trip that Lily Evans expects to go on is the annual pre-dissertation jaunt to Athens with the rest of her Classical Civilizations PhD program. The trip she does not expect to go on is to 479 BCE, right on the cusp of one of the most important battles in the Greco-Persian war. Now, she has to navigate antiquity as she tries to find her way back to the 21st Century, God—or gods—help her.

James wants to win this war. No, James needs to win this war. He is a man of honor and duty, and even if it means dying a gruesome, bloody death, he will go down in history as one of Athens's great warriors. He will suffer no distractions; not even beautiful ones who speak strangely and refuse to listen to his orders.

 -- OR: The Outlander-Meets-Ancient-Greece Jily AU that no one asked for Maya dreams of.

I can't believe it took me this long to read this fic but OH MY GOD!! Clare's writing is phenomenal, I've known this for a while now, but THE DEDICATION TO HISTORICAL ACCURACY, I'm so impressed. If only I could put even half that amount of effort into my major essays for school. EVERYONE GO READ THIS NOW

Sweathearts' Special by @tinyluminaryzombie

What happens when your coffee shop nemesis, asks you to pretend to be a couple?

Or "I’ve been staring at the stupid cupcakes for the past hour, and they look way too good. Anyways, would you be willing to join forces and pretend to be together for the free cupcake and coffee?”

Welcome to Pettyville by @women-inthe-sequel

When Lily Evans accidentally sends a text to the wrong number, she isn’t expecting to find the right person behind it. She can’t stop talking to Prongs. The only thing is, Prongs can’t stop talking about the girl in his class. What could go wrong, other than the number?

A love square but it's just the same two idiots

Tall Dark and Glasses by @jamesunderwater

Tall Dark and Glasses (or TDG as he is more affectionately known) is the mysterious, painfully good-looking stranger who has been frequenting Lily's favourite coffee shop for months now. But despite having an embarrassing acronym for him, Lily, a burned-out STEM major, is too comfortable being a wallflower to go up to him herself. Thank god for playing cards, I guess.

coffee shops and copious amounts of sugar by @mystinkysocks

James decides to finally start revising, the coffee shop he attends introduces him to someone new!

As someone who spends an ungodly amount of time studying in public (at cafés and libraries), all I dream of is to one day live out my very own coffee shop AU

Unlicenced by @ohmygodshesinsane

Lily Evans begrudgingly agrees to get in the car with classmate and sometime-foe James Potter and his not-quite-earned P-plates after a particularly rubbish day.

Drop-Off also by @/ ohmygodshesinsane

James Potter takes Lily Evans home, and wants to make something clear.

Disclaimer that they’re Australian in this AU. You guys don't understand how much Lily Evans means to me. I want to give her a hug.

pretty, pretty boy by rosiemary0 (on ao3)

Pretty face, with golden brown eyes and strong cheekbones (one of which is adorned with a smudge of charcoal). Pretty hands—very, very pretty hands, Lily’s thoughts interject—which hold a jar each, one with water and the other paintbrushes.

Or the one where James is an artist and Lily hates socialising.

I'll Manage by @kaymardsa

James and Lily fall in love during the war.

In which Lily runs a refugee camp and James is an ex-sniper

I can't remember if I've recommended this fic already but again I recently re-read it and wanted to share

'Tis the Fucking Season by @thequibblah

Six-year absences. Yearly photograph burnings (figuratively). Low-cut tops. Two nosebleeds. Little red notebooks. The Past, with a capital P. The desire to pour your heart out to strangers (maybe pathologically). The desire to do unspeakably bad things to one James Potter. These are the ingredients that make up Lily Evans's holiday season.

Shelby the cabbie is in for a fucking ride.

I have been searching for this fic for two months and nearly gave up. An absolute classic that everyone should read!!

Two's a Crowd also by @/ thequibblah

Regency AU in which "the only thing Lily Evans can share with the Earl of Devon is a healthy dose of mutual dislike."

In Search of Something More by @kay-elle-cee

In the sunlit garden of her sister’s home, Lord Potter had promised Lily a life of her own design, with minimal expectations—her presence at community events, companionship, and an heir. As the two stumble into the routine of marriage and work to make a life together at Stinchcombe Hall, unsolicited feelings provoke each to start wondering if this is merely a marriage…or if it could be something more.

No, I will not shut up about this fic. Anything that Kelsey writes is bound to be amazing but this one holds a special place in my heart. Note that this is an ongoing fic though. I tend to recommend completed works but this one is too good not to include.

Pinkest Bluestocking of the Ton by @wearingaberetinparis 

Dearest Reader, the ton are abuzz with the latest gossip, and so it is my honour to impart to you the news that the Duke of Peverell has returned to London at last! A year after setting off on his tour of Europe, Lady Peverell's son has returned and rumour has it that his mother is preparing for the most joyous of occasions: a late summer wedding that sees her son wed the next Duchess of Peverell. It is my sincere hope that you have stored a bottle of wine for this most delightful of upcoming events for if ever there were a more determined mama, this writer is Icarus and this society paper has been scorched for flying too close to the sun.

A Jily Regency Romance inspired by Shondaland's "Bridgerton".

Again this is an ongoing fic, but it's too good not to include in this rec list! I haven’t caught up with all the chapters yet but I love the story so far!

A Heart of Coal also by @/ wearingaberetinparis

They say fortune favours the bold, yet Lily Evans was given her death sentence at seventeen. As soon as midnight strikes on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, her heart will turn to coal. Gryffindor knight James Potter, however, is the last to accept such a fate. For while Lily Evans’ curse foretells her death, his foreshadows a life without his unrequited true love at his side.

Fairytale AU in which the love is requited they're just idiots

Three Lemons and a Dragon by @thelighthousestale

Once upon a time, there lived a Prince named James who had to save his father's Kingdom by getting married. One day an older woman gifts him three lemons that will lead him to his true love.

Dillweed in a Fancy Metal Can by @eastwindmlk

When Lily gets dragged to a Renaissance Faire, she reluctantly agreed to go to the jousting event where she is pulled into the show against her will, or is it?

Lily represents me

Queen Foxtail also by @/ eastwindmlk

Once Upon A Time...

There was an arrogant prince who turned down every suitable match and drove his parents to do something drastic. Marry him off to the next merchant that steps through their gates.

across the universe by rcdwings (on ao3)

“So, you’re saying that in these other worlds, James Potter and Lily Evans exist, too?”

She hadn’t expected to hear that, hadn’t even thought about it that way. She was too busy thinking about if in those other worlds, she and her friends could be seventeen and free instead of the war torn teenagers they were. Now that he’d put it that way, she couldn’t help but let her mind wander.

“I would assume so,” she swallowed. “Not sure what we would be like, though.”

A beat, then a soft hum. “Anything,” he smiled at her, “There are countless worlds, right? We could be anything.”

only love can hurt like this by @fireblts 

Lily doesn’t quite know everything, but it feels pretty close.

The main thing she still doesn’t get is soulmates. Love doesn’t seem like something that should be painful. Or rather, love seems like it’s painful enough on its own without any help.

Soulmate AU - whenever your soulmate is hurt or in pain, you can feel it too.

Soulmate AUs are my comfort genre of fics. I haven't been feeling to well lately and rediscovering this fic was a delight

The Librarian of Hogsmeade Village by @ohmygodshesinsane

Lily's work as a librarian in the small village of Hogsmeade has kept her occupied for the past six years, forever keeping the wheels of the town on the track. As the holidays approach, she prepares to settle in with a nice mug of tea and a well-thumbed old book. When a new resident and his son arrive at her weekly story-reading, with cheeky smiles and big hearts, those plans are tossed out the window in favour of chasing love, for once - not escaping it.

Lily living the cozy life of my dreams. I think it's well known by now that I love reading about single parents and well James with his baby boy always puts a smile on my face.

Spitting Image by @charmsandtealeaves

James Potter always knew he wanted to build a family, he just hadn’t found the right person to build it with - yet. Freezing his sperm at Gringotts Sperm Bank was a no-brainer really. He’d have children when he found the right person, and now he had an insurance policy. Then Lily Evans walked into his place of work with her son - the spitting image of him.

linking this art that the talented @constancezin drew inspired by this fic

Every time I see that Ray has updated, reading the new chapter becomes the highlight of my day

The Stag Prince Across The Sea also by @/ charmsandtealeaves

The realm of Hogwarts had lived for decades in a carefully negotiated harmony between the leaders of the four clans. However, when the time came for son to marry daughter, the Slytherin King refused to offer his daughter's hand to any of the other grand houses’ suitors. As the Slytherin King departed the shore, bound for the ship that would allow him to escape across the Green Sea, he cast a curse on the great families.

“Let ye be marked. Marred by tooth, hoof, and claw. May your sons never be fit for any bride!”

Slytherin invoked an ancient magic, which transformed each family's eldest son into creatures under the light of the full moon. The Kings searched far and wide for a cure to no avail while trying to keep secret the wrong that had been done to them. Years passed and with them grew a sense of unrest, a kingdom on the precipice of collapse...

what love is, I think by @potterandevans-blog-blog

It's James Potter's birthday, his nineteenth to be exact. Some people, if they're lucky, find a tattoo on their back on their nineteenth birthday, a tattoo that can help them discover their soulmate. And if the antlers on his back are anything to go by, James might just have a soulmate of his own out there, somewhere.

oil be there for you by @abby10fanfic

Texting/Social Media AU: Lily and James haven't spoken for 2 years. But that's all about to change thanks to Peter and his involvement in an essential oil pyramid scheme. Featuring boss babes, toxin-free lifestyles, binding contracts, and a very oily journey.

[writtenonreceipts]

In honor of my birthday I'm sharing some blogs and stories that I love and mean the world to me!

For more of my Jily friends/those looking for recs and remarkable individuals in the Maurader's fandom. You don't have to look far for talent and kindness. There is just something about this fandom

>>@kay-elle-cee--There's just something about Jily that screams Regency Era and "In Search of Something More" is one of those that just offers all the potential and vibes and delivers remarkably. I can't wait to continue this one! You've got so many other wonderful fics and do so much for this fandom, I love it! I can't wait to continue to go through your masterlist! <3<3<3

>>@clare-with-no-i--I have an obsession with texting aus and Clare delivers with "New Age Romancing" when I say I love this fic, I love this fic. I think about it often, reread it often, it makes me laugh and makes me giddy and I just freakin' adore it. Thank-you for this one. You have so many other fics worth mentioning and fawning over, but this one holds a special place in my heart.

>>@annabtg--I am screaming over "The Three Minute Initiative"!!! I love it. It's hilarious, fun, and is just mauraders. I love it. The speed-dating set up, their personas, that story of getting the four of them into the date system. It's a mix of the meet cute/meet awkward and is just so enjoyable.

>>@jfleamont--Ok I know you say "Rain" is your return to fic/jily after a hiatus, but this one but it's so wonderful. The bits of humor, the canon setting, feeling the pre-relationship taking root, and getting the james of it all. I enjoy this one immensely.

>>@practicecourts--"Head Over Handlebars" has the meet ugly and the geese warning and honestly that is what sold me for it, lol. Really, that's all I think we need in a fic, ngl.

>>@constancezin--Friend! You are so wonderful to have in the jily corner! Your art is remarkable and you are just so kind and supportive of the fandom. I've loved getting to see your art and your interpretations. I can never wait to see what you share next. It's been a genuine pleasure following you! Truly, grateful for all you bring to the fandom!

[eastons-creations]

My ultimate fic recs

Made a poll and a lot of people said they would want this sooo here we are! These are the best fics I’ve read (: The og post

Top 3

1- To Be Alone With You By Shay_Fae

In the summer of their sixth year, Remus Lupin tried to kill himself.

2- Something Just Like This By shadow_prince

a fake dating modern AU where Sirius has been telling Mrs. Potter he's dating someone for 9 months and she demands his "boyfriend" comes on their family vacation. Queue: shenanigans between wolfstar and jily as they lie their asses off.

3- Text Talk By merlywhirls

Sirius is in boarding school, Remus is in hospital, and they don't know each other until Sirius texts the wrong number.

Other recs bellow break (in no order)

Wading in waist high water By colgatebluemintygel

Remus is a PhD student and hobbyist baker who finds himself adrift following his father’s death. On a whim, he enters the Great British Bake Off and is swept up in a flurry of curdled custard, shrunken souffle, and under-proved dough. Remus expects to be challenged and to embarrass himself on public television. What he doesn’t account for are the friendships he develops with the other contestants and the deep connection he forms with his teenage crush, Sirius Black: charming ex-boy band member and Bake Off host

Beneath a big blue sky by @eyra

The four-by-four heaves its way down long, twisting lanes, little more than dirt tracks scuffed into the surrounding fields and hemmed in by serpentine walls of flat, grey stone. They truly are in the middle of nowhere: the countryside rushes past, all rolling green hills and vast, endless skies, and it's odious. Sirius wants to murder James with his bare hands. Sirius and James accidentally find themselves on a Yorkshire farm during lambing season. The farmer’s son thinks that’s a bit annoying, actually.

A brief history of dragons by @eyra

It's lovely up here; all meadows dotted with wildflowers, wind-beaten tracks criss-crossing this way and that through the fields, weaving inland to the pinewoods. The sun's hot on his back as he passes ramshackle stone walls, long since crumbled to piles of ancient rubble and scree, and then the path winds downwards, still following the line of the coast until Sirius finds himself outside an old white cottage, tucked away behind the hill with a rose garden that faces out to the sea. Sirius moves to Cornwall for the summer and meets a rude, beautiful boy who is writing a book that may or may not be about dragons

Let’s play pretend by MsAlexWP

After James and Lily died, Sirius Black's therapist told him not to date for a year. And that's just as well. He's got a 13-month-old baby now and quite enough to deal with, thanks. But the nosy neighbors in his building keep trying to set him up and won't take no for an answer. Enter Remus Lupin, another single dad who pretends to be Sirius's boyfriend, just to get the old lady brigade off his back and nothing more. Nothing more at all.

Forever in a state of mind by orphan_account

Deaf Dance Choreographer, Remus Lupin, has a simple life. Working, taking care of his son, and running his YouTube sign channel. When he unwittingly becomes involved with Deaf Pride Activist, Fleamont Potter, he doesn't realise how much his life will change. Especially after he meets YouTube star and makeup artist, Sirius Black.

Sugar rush by Stricklymarauders

James, Sirius, Peter, and Dorcas have been best friends for years and are starting their senior year of highschool. To Sirius' dismay he doesn't have any friends in his history class, but after eventually showing up, he finds he sits next to a tall curly hair boy who takes his breath away, Remus Lupin. He decided right then and there that he must make this boy fall in love with him and recruits James to be his wingman, until James is distracted by Remus' best friend with a personality as fiery has her hair, Lily Evans.

Dating Remus lupin by Children_of_the_Shadow

Remus Lupin is a mystery to the whole school; the boy who's quiet, aloof, and cold. He also happens to be queer, which is enough to gain Sirius's interest. What Sirius never realised that dating Remus Lupin wasn't quite as easy as it looked.

Words got in the way sometimes, but Remus got the sense Sirius knew what he was trying to say. Another coffee shop au.

Camp Casanova by Farquad

All lonely 11 years old Remus Lupin wants is a friend. But when he arrives at Slughorn's summer camp for teenage boys his world turns upside down since he finds himself sharing a cabin with three other boys; James Potter, Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black. As the years pass by Remus finds himself birthing friendships, fighting bullies, but above all battling his own feelings which soon gets out of control. He struggles to keep his biggest secret, and he wonders how he could've fallen so deeply in love.

Turn on my charm by Bethanlovescoffee

Sirius Black is a YouTube phenomenon. A YouTube phenomenon who develops a crush on his video editor.

i have an idea for a post-apocalyptic fanfic where lily and fabian are lovers marauding the decimated landscape together (maybe with gideon and marlene and dorcas as well) and it's just rly dark and hopeless and the smut is intense.

and then they run into The Marauders (along with regulus and barty, who do not want to be there) and manage to join forces. they have a shared goal: whisperings of an oasis.

lily is the medic of the group bc of her biochem background and gardening knowledge. james was the medic for his group, so they spend a lot of time together. they're attracted to each other immediately, and though it takes a while for them to let down their walls (arrogant james vs perfect lily) once they do the emotional connection is strong

society has crumbled, so if lily wants someone she's not going to wait. she tells fabian how she feels. lily has two boyfriends now. james and fabian end up getting together, too, after some time.

of course, over their journey the lose people. one by one they're picked off. first regulus, then barty snaps and they have to leave him for dead. marlene next, and soon dorcas backtracks to hunt down her killers. peter disappears in the night, but there was no sign of struggle. they keep going.

lily gets pregnant. it could be either man's, they're both happy and scared in varied measures. they keep going. they may be close now. remus thinks someone is tracking them. james thinks remus is paranoid. sirius doesn't say when he thinks.

one night they get into an argument on which way to go. fabian, gideon and sirius are the last truly skilled fighters left. sirius wants to go one way, remus wants to go the other. james trusts sirius the most, at the end of it all, so he sides with sirius. so lily sides with sirius, so fabian and gideon side with sirius.

remus stays, but they're bitter. they go off and skulk, coming back around morning. two days later the group is ambushed. lily is about 8 months along now. fabian and gideon take down the whole group, but they succumb to their wounds hours later. they die protecting lily.

sirius blames remus. james tries to de-escalate. lily has nothing to say.

remus leaves.

lily, james and sirius find the oasis.

For Jily Week 2023, I have conjured up a little fic that starts off with a dash of angst!

Headlines

James is a famous musican, on a once in a lifetime world tour. Lily is the girl he left behind to pursue it. Except they were only just friends, weren't they?

We are excited to announce Deatheater focused fanworks exchange. In this case fic between 500-3,000 words, art, podfics, and meta are all welcome.

We are looking at using transformative works to consider the impact of being a Deatheater, this might include putting canonical Deatheaters into muggle AUs, for example Barty and Bella as political speechwriters trying to get Voldemort elected, or considering what happens if a non-Deatheater character pledges themselves to Voldemort, for example how does Jily look if Lily is a half-blood who ends up sorted in Slytherin alongside Snape and joins the Deatheaters?

Want to explore the morally ambiguous aspects of Harry Potter Characters, then this is the exchange for you.

You can choose characters and ships from across all the eras of Harry Potter canon.

Sign up will be via the ao3 collection, where you can also read the full rules
