Happy Place - A Jily Fic - Chapter 1

Because I couldn't get anything else finished this week, I thought I'd post the first chapter of my new Jily AU Happy Place (I have to do something to fill the CIWYW-void, right?), inspired by Emily Henry's novel of the same name.

James and Lily have always been the perfect couple that everyone aspires to be: from Head Boy and Girl at Hogwarts School to university students in a loving long distance relationship to – eventually – a happily engaged duo, destined to go the distance. They go together like cream and tea, pride and prejudice, fish and chips. That is, until – for reasons they refuse to discuss for fear of making everything so much worse – they really, truly don’t. For one week, however, they have to act as if all is well for they have yet to tell their friends that what had always seemed perfect, is now very much broken. Inspired by Emily Henry’s Happy Place.

Read Chapter 1 HERE!

This fic is gifted to @joyseuphoria for being such a dedicated Jily and Jilytober enthusiast without whom many of the Jilytober celebrations would not exist. (Plus... she was really excited about Happy Place!)

Chapter 2 to be updated on Sunday 29 October 2023!

Woke up to find I’ve hit a MAJOR follower milestone 💕💕💕💕 love you all so much. I want to do something fun to celebrate once Jilytober ends. Taking suggestions!

[oneofthesirens]

dialogue prompt "You really thought that?"

“You know, I thought you were over me,” Lily mused out loud. She was lying on James’ lap, reclined out on one of the more comfortable sofas in the Gryffindor common room. It was the one that had a prime position in front of the fire, and now that she was dating James she could appreciate the Marauders unquestioned claim over the seats.

James laughed, his hand brushing through the curls that were sprawled out over his lap. “Don’t be daft, Evans,” he said, fondly. He smiled down at her and the earnestness of his expression caused her breath to catch in her throat. “I don’t think I could ever be over you. Not even when I tried, and I tried very hard.”

Warmth blossomed in her chest; a heat, which she couldn’t attribute to the fire, spreading through. No, it was James that made her feel that way. Even after months of dating, she still felt giddy when he would say things like that, was still astonished over the way he rendered her senseless in the wake of his unconstrained affection.

“You really thought that?” Sirius asked, from his seat beside them. He was idly flipping through a book, intermittently throwing them exasperated glances when they were too sappy for his liking. “Merlin, you’re as bad as each other.”

Lily let her eyes flutter to a close, appreciating the easy contentment that came with spending the evening with James. The soft scrape of James’ fingernails against her scalp lulled her towards the midpoint between awake and asleep.

She stifled a yawn, and said, “We’re just the same amount of clueless, I guess.”

“Perfect for one another,” James replied, his voice soft. Lily’s lips quirked up into a smile, and she opened her eyes, their gazes catching.

“That we are,” Lily agreed. James dropped a kiss on her forehead, innocent and chaste, but Sirius still made a gagging sound at the sight.

To celebrate Jilytober, send me a dialogue prompt and I’ll write a drabble in return

Happy Jilytober to all who celebrate

[stonedregulus]

Jilytober as in celebrating the month Jily dies

[thejilyship]

Okay so

My tumblr is ten years old this month. 

TEN YEARS. 

A whole forking decade. I have many thoughts and feelings but mainly I just can’t believe that I’ve had this blog for that long and I think the only time I’ve ever changed my url was for jilytober and it was thejilyghostship or something like that lolz

I want to do some stuff to celebrate but I’m not sure what I want to do yet. I should have planned more but I’ve always been more of a panster

I have one (1) singular fic idea for this month, I know I always do a prompt voting thing for jilytober, but idk if I’ll do that this year. I’m actually super busy this month and it’s just started today and I’m already stressed out. 

Anyway, this is a mess of a stream of consciousness, but I want to say that through it all, I’m grateful to the community that has continued to create such wonderful content that has been comforting and fun and absolutely beautiful for the last decade. You all have gotten me through a lot of shit and I’m so glad that my brain chose jily as it’s hyperfixation 

[nought-shall-go-ill]

Please help me choose my Jilytober one shot

Hello, friends! I’m back — sort of, maybe — and, though life is hectic with a capital H, I really want to write a longer form one shot to celebrate the wonderful creative month of Jilytober.

I’m stuck between two choices:

A bittersweet piece based on “The Cowherd & the Weaver Girl” in which Jily are separated for years under a spell and can only see each other once a year.

An angst-with-a-happy-ending piece with a fantasy bent in which an accident renders Lily invisible, untouchable and absolutely silent to anyone but Severus and Petunia.

Both have a bit of a magical realism vibe.

[notorious-lightning-thief]

I LOVE YOU OMG ❤️❤️❤️ hahaha but you’re so right it IS spooky season and we need to celebrate it!!

This made my day omg stop 😭😭 it’s so conflicting cuz I love spooky season, I love Jilytober, but it also makes me wildly depressed because it’s Jilytober….. it’s so tragic

[tumbledfreckles]

I reckon… probably… I mean, definitely

HAPPY JILYTOBER!! My first as a writer, and @magic-girl-in-a-muggle-world has given some great prompts to work with. I’m not delusional enough to do them all, but I’m going to do the ones that speak to me! 

Day 1: Trapped in a broom closet. 

James thumped his head against the door. He stayed there, forehead resting, hands braced against the hard wooden surface, as if he was about to push it open. But he knew it was useless. The door was locked magically, and to his great shame, James was wandless. He would have to wait.

He thumped against the door with one of his fists, a slow, rhythmic beat. His best hope was someone would come along this corridor and hear him and decide to investigate. Hopefully they wouldn’t decide a Boggart rested in the broom closet and let it to scare the next poor soul instead.

The first three sets of footsteps obviously didn’t feel the need to investigate and carried on despite James calling for help. The next several only confirmed a growing fear that formed a pit in his stomach. The broom closet could be soundproof, and if that was the case, no one would hear the banging, much less his cries for help.

And I can’t even rely on the others using the Map, James thought, followed quickly by, Sirius will never let me live this down.

The Marauder’s Map rested safely in James’ pocket, having been put there by Sirius seconds before he took the fall for some classic but immature dungbombs, left around the entrance to the Slytherin common room like landmines. James had been on his way back from waving his mate off to a detention with Slughorn, safely hidden behind a suit of armour, when he’d gotten himself stuck.

The next time he heard footsteps he tried to shoot sparks out the keyhole with wandless magic, but unfortunately all that seemed to do was almost blind himself permanently as the uncontrolled sparks ricocheted off the metal lock and flicked back at his face, crouched close to the door handle.

It went quiet for awhile and James figured it must be close to dinner time. Traffic would be slow for awhile on the fourth floor and he settled in to wait.

Time allowed his thoughts to become inventive, and he did think grimly that all those History of Magic lessons really had given rise to some of the Marauder’s best pranks.  Feeling around the ground next to him and on the lower shelves James was able to locate several bottles of liquid. Must be cleaning supplies, he thought. Thank god the caretaker didn’t have magic.

Opening several of the bottles at once, James tipped them all into a bucket he found near his feet. It seemed about three quarters full. He set it within a short distance of the cupboard door and resumed his wait.

What felt like an age, but was probably about an hour, the dinner hour, James thought hungrily, more footsteps came. They sounded confident in their stride, and from the sharper clicks on the flagstone floor, they sounded female. Hopefully it’s someone observant, he willed as he tipped the bucket toward the door, allowing the mix of liquid to flood under the door jam and into the corridor.

The clicks stopped abruptly just south of the door. James held his breath. A faint screech and sound of distaste floated into him, before the several mutterings of what James assumed was cleaning charms given the strong smells that had admitted from the liquid since he opened the bottles started to dissipate.

After a couple of minutes of fair agony for James, who was close to being on his knees praying the person would open the door, the footsteps resumed, decidedly less clacky and confident as before. James’ heart sank, and his forehead crashed into the door once more.

That’s it. I’m stuck here. Survived multiple full moons running with a werewolf, not to mention the transition into Animagus without adequate supervision, multiple detentions in the forest, living with Sirius for an entire summer, living with my mother, and I’m doomed to die alone and forgotten in a broom cupboard. Oh, what a wretched end to an otherwise exciting life. I shall come back and haunt –

James never did get to declare who he would haunt for the rest of his days, as he tumbled headfirst into the corridor as the broom closet door was unceremoniously swung open. He just barely caught himself from smashing yet another pair of spectacles thanks to his quick reflexes that allowed his hands to fly out and hit the ground first, cushioning his fall.

“You,” a voice dripped with derision came from above. “You did this. That mess.”

James stayed low, his shoulders tensing towards his shoulders as he recognised the voice of his rescuer. Of bloody course, he grumbled to himself. The one person who’ll enjoy taking the mick more than Sirius. I should have guessed.

“What mess?” he asked innocently as he started to rise, facing out into the corridor as the voice came again from behind him.

“The bloody flood of chemicals that just ate away at my shoes,” Lily cried, with so much annoyance in her tone that James couldn’t help but turn around. By Merlin she was a vision when she was cross.

“What did I do to your shoes?” he asked, one hand reaching up to ruffle his hair as he stared down at them. They did look rather tatty, when he looked closer, and as Lily lifted one foot, the sole of the shoe remained on the ground, flapping in half to form a tongue that wasn’t unlike Sirius’ Animagus form when he got overexcited.

“The stuff must have been acidic, it corroded them until I figured out a counterspell and stopped it,” Lily said exasperatedly. “Why on earth did you think it would be funny to spill cleaning solution out into the corridor?”

“It wasn’t a prank,” James admitted with a shrug. “It was a cry for help.”

“A cry for –” Lily stopped mid thought, and her expression changed from annoyance to confusion. “Why did you need help?”

James frowned and ruffled his hair again, “I, er… well, you see… I… and then… uh… Sirius and I… then er… well… I guess.”

He was interrupted from his stammering by Lily’s peel of laughter. He blinked at her owlishly and wished he could fade back into the shadows of the closet and wait for the next passer-by.

“James Potter,” she crossed her arms, positively brimming with mirth. “Are you tell me that you, the great self-entitled Marauder, prankster, Head Boy, one of the smartest wizards of our generation, got yourself locked in a broom closet?”

“I definitely did not tell you that,” James crossed his arms as well and looked off down the corridor with a grumpy frown.

“But that’s what happened.”

“Didn’t say that.”

“You didn’t have to.”

“You can’t prove anything.”

“I probably could.”

“Yeah, alright,” James sighed, hands moving to his pockets as he scuffed his feet. “You probably could prove it.”

Lily grinned and tried to meet his eye, holding back her giggle. The fact she did it to avoid further emasculating the boy in front of her was not lost of James.

“In my defence, we really shouldn’t have any magically locking closets in a castle cleaned by a Squib. This was a disaster waiting to happen and I’ve really just taken one for the team. Filch should be thanking me.”

“In fairness to Filch, he probably would never have been stupid enough to get himself locked in this cupboard.”

“Oh yeah,” James kicked at the door frame. “And why’s that?”

Lily took a step closer to James, bringing herself chest to chest with him. The stray hairs from her ponytail ticking his nose as he tried not to be obvious about his deep inhale as her flowery shampoo filled his senses. She reached past him, wand extended and lit, to illuminate the previous dark space.

James could now see it was filled with hundreds of bottles, all filled with various colours and textured liquids. Some appeared to be moving, giant gas bubbles floating around within the bottle. Others appeared to have luminescent glow, pulsating in way that made James wonder how he hadn’t seen them in the dark.

“What the hell is this stuff?” he recoiled back, hitting his head on the edge of the door behind him.

Lily smirked as he rubbed the back of his head, “This isn’t Filch’s closet, Potter.”

“Whose is it?” James looked back into the closet and felt a shudder run through him. “What is it?”

“Slughorn’s storeroom for some of the more belligerent concoctions, things that can’t be flushed down the drain at the end of class if we want to have in-castle plumbing.”

“Just sitting here? For anyone to accidentally stumble upon?!” James was aghast. His fingers gently propped the already swelling bump on the back of his head.

“Well no, it’s normally magically locked and protected, so no one accidentally finds it. Slughorn normally only opens it when he’s putting things in it.  I wonder that he left it unlocked. It’s very unlike him,” Lily peered into the room again.

James felt a bit sheepish, “Yeah… well… uh, see there was… and then… and so… you see… it was probably…”

Lily interrupted his stammering yet again with a peel of laughter. This one James felt quite literally, as her hand came to rest on James chest, bracing her as she half folded over. “Let me guess, Potter. He was probably interrupted in the middle of storing some new jars by some kind of elaborate prank?”

“Er, maybe?” James hands went back to his pockets again as he shrugged.

“So not elaborate,” Lily surmised, looking at his body language. “And your alone,” she glanced up and down the corridor. “And by the fact you were stuck in there, probably wandless,” she glanced at his pockets and then back towards the closet, nodding to herself.

“Evans, what?” James’ face was one of shock as he regarded her.

“And we’re down in the dungeons, so… hmmm,” Lily tilted her head to the side, a smile forming. “I’m betting you and Sirius were caught throwing dungbombs at some Slytherins. You hid, he took the fall.”

“How did, but we were, you were, you just, and we, I mean, Sirius, that was,” James’ surprise was really quite verbally, sending Lily into yet another giggle, her hand clenching in his shirt

“I know you, Potter,”

“We’ve been on one date, Evans. That was a lucky guess,” James growled, but his hand was already curving around her hip, pulling him closer.

“You wish it was a lucky guess. I know you, you disaster,” Lily’s other hand glided up around James neck to feel the back of his head. “How’s your head?”

“Sore,” he whined, but it quickly turned to a soft moan as Lily’s fingers slid through locks of his hair, her fingernails gently scraping along his scalp. “Better now.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

“Hey Potter?” Lily was right up against him now, raising on her tiptoes to bring her mouth closer to his.

“Evans,” James brought his forehead to meet hers, their breaths mingling as his other hand shifted through the hair at the nape of Lily’s neck, gathering it.

“Reckon one date’s enough to get a girl a snog in a broom closet?” Her lips moved to his neck, giving it a small nip.

“Yeah, I reckon… probably… I mean, definitely,” James was cut off as Lily’s lips fairly slammed into his own, soft, insistent, and utterly mind robbing. She pushed him back, urging him back into the closet he spent so long trying to escape.

James gathered her up, lifting Lily by her thighs against him as he eased backwards. Lily’s wand closed the door behind him, and her legs wrapped around his waist as he pushed her back against the solid wood. Her wand clattered to the ground as both her hands twisted into James hair. Their lips formed a seal as they slid and tugged at each other.

Lily moved back to James neck, leaving a trail of tingling kisses that had him moaning again, tipping his head back to give her better access.

“You were wrong, you know,” he couldn’t resist pointing out, given his mouth was unoccupied. His hand slid further up Lily’s leg to grip her bum as he spoke.

“About what?” Lily sounded incredibly distracted as she worked on the top button of James’ shirt.

“We didn’t chuck them. The dungbombs,” Lily stopped her attentions on his neck to look at him in confusion. “We planted them around the Slytherin Common Room like those war fields you were telling us about. So, they’d stand on them and get hit.”

Lily stared at him for a long moment. “I don’t know whether I’m seriously appalled that that’s what you took from that story, or seriously turned on that you actually listened to me.”

James took the opportunity to have his own tryst with Lily’s neck, while one hand moved under her shirt and up her back. “You did call me the greatest wizard of our generation. Hopefully it’s the later,”

Lily gasped as his lips sucked gently as her pulse point, “Definitely the later.”

For @jilytoberfest

Prompt #1: "Prove it"

“Here. Prove it,” Lily says, voice dripping with a glee that James hasn’t heard in a while.

He can’t help his nervous glance at the piece of cake she’s offering him.

“What’s this?”

“What it looks like, duh. Chocolate cake.”

“Hmmm and you made it?”

Lily nods, still smiling. There’s a smudge of flour on her cheek that’s adorable, but he still eyes the cake with trepidation.

“And are you sure it’s… edible?”

“Of course it’s,” she says defensively, and when James lifts one eyebrow, Lily blushes. “It won’t be like the Christmas incident of the roast potatoes.”

“Or that Christmas Yorkshire pudding I still have nightmares about?”

“Luckily this isn't Christmas-related, is it?" she rolls her eyes and again offers him the piece of cake. “I’ve improved a lot, promise you.”

James breathes heavily, then he tries a bit, feeling very daring even as expects to taste something weird—the cake might be all salty or mixed with Bertie Bott’s beans (Lily is nothing but creative when it comes to cooking)—but it’s actually very tasty.

“It’s wonderful,” he says, unable to hide the surprise out of his voice, but Lily doesn’t look offended.

“I finally got it right, I know. I’ll just finish the topping." She picks a pot with whipped cream. "Would you get the candle?”

James nods, going to the first shelf of the kitchen cabinet and taking a sparkling white candle in the shape of the number 2.

He places his arm around Lily’s waist while she finishes the decoration of the cake. “Harry will love it,” he says, kissing her forehead.

Happy Place - A Jily Fic - Chapter 2

I am forever clowning and posting this a day early... I'm ill and I thought: "I need to get one thing out of the way to focus on the next thing," meaning that I just finished editing Happy Place Chapter 2 and thought: "Let's just post it!"

James and Lily have always been the perfect couple that everyone aspires to be: from Head Boy and Girl at Hogwarts School to university students in a loving long distance relationship to – eventually – a happily engaged duo, destined to go the distance. They go together like cream and tea, pride and prejudice, fish and chips. That is, until – for reasons they refuse to discuss for fear of making everything so much worse – they really, truly don’t. For one week, however, they have to act as if all is well for they have yet to tell their friends that what had always seemed perfect, is now very much broken. Inspired by Emily Henry’s Happy Place.

Read Chapter 2 HERE!

Just as a reminder: this fic is gifted to @joyseuphoria for being such a dedicated Jily and Jilytober enthusiast without whom many of the Jilytober celebrations would not exist.

Chapter 3 to be updated on Sunday 5 November 2023!

[kay-elle-cee]

Talk about my fics with me! I'd love to hear if you remember the first one of mine you read, what your favorites are, and am happy to self-rec for anyone new here. Also always down to share any tiny details or headcanons I can think of. 💕

On or off anon, you choose! It's my birthday week and it just feels nice to have you all here with me 🥰 🥳 Thanks for being here!
