Summary
"You'd defend Lily even if she kicked you in the balls," Peter chuckled, prompting Sirius and Remus to conceal their knowing grins behind their food.
"I'm a strong supporter of women's rights," James hastily defended himself, "including Lily's right to beat the shit out of anyone who irritates her."

He was just too smart for his own good.
It’s what got him into trouble the most.
It got Lily in trouble too.

“I mean…um, you called me Lily. Like, before. Twice.”
“I did.”
“And just now, you called me Evans again.” She was pretty sure her face was on fire.
“Yeah.” His grin was transforming slowly into a smirk again, “That’s your name, isn’t it?”The one where Lily struggles with shifting name usages.

"Imagine my surprise when I’m trying to leave The Owlery after waiting for the rain to die out for over an hour, only to find you fucking bleeding out on the stairs. What were you thinking?”
As far as confrontations go, this one's a little complicated.

"Alright, Evans?" James asked from his position, doing his best to shoot her a winning grin that screamed 'Yes, it’s perfectly normal for a bloke to be sleeping in the Forbidden Forest and no, Gryffindor doesn’t need to be docked points and yes, I too look as put together as you do this morning.'

Summary
He didn’t picture Lily wandering alone, he never imagined the dullness that seemed to overcome her usually vivacious eyes, never fantasized about the way she looked at him straight on and asked, “Want to do something stupid?”
He, apparently, was something stupid.
(Summer before seventh year, failed friends with benefits).

Summary
James seeks Lily out to apologize for the incident by the lake, and it doesn't go at all the way Lily expected. He's an arrogant, bullying toerag... so why on earth is she snogging him against a wall?
Canon-compliant, takes place immediately after the events in "Snape's Worst Memory."
“You’re sorry?” she asked, her voice still with an edge.
“Yes,” he snapped. “For all of it.”
“Well, alright then.”
They stared at one another, still breathing deeply as though they’d just run a great distance. Her eyes met his. They were hazel, she realized, with little flecks of snitch-gold in them. They looked warm.- Language:

Summary
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.

Summary
It took twenty minutes after Spider-Man fulfilled his promise to come back for her, feet on solid ground and the shock wearing off, for Annabeth to realize he knew her name. But it took only seconds more to realize that when he spoke to her, she hadn’t even thought of him as Spider-Man; she had just thought of him as “Percy.”
Percy is wounded. He's wounded, and it's not the first time, and he will likely be hurt again tomorrow. Annabeth wonders if she can bear to take that next step and admit her feelings, when any day could be his last.

Summary

A 5-part Jily Hogwarts AU, written for the January 2024 Jily Challenge and based on the prompts:
1. James and Lily are sorted into different, rival Hogwarts Houses.

Summary
Lily pauses, suddenly aware of James’s intense gaze. “What? Why are you…” Heat rushes to her cheeks, and she hates it. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Nothing,” he says, shaking his head. “It’s just…it’s a good look on you, Evans.”
“What is?” she asks, self-consciously.
His grin widens. “Mischief.”Bookmarked by bkos

Summary
It's seventh year, somehow, that clinches the case, claiming the grand prize in the annals of Lily Evans's misfortunes. Because, as it turns out, harbouring feelings for James Potter while also navigating the precarious terrain of friendship with him is a fate crueller than death.
[or: James keeps accidentally touching Lily and she's about to lose her mind]

Summary
At 22, Ginny had lived through several lifetimes worth of misery. She’d been deceived, betrayed, and possessed, her very soul almost wrung out into nothing. She’d been subordinated, humiliated, and tortured, lived almost an entire year surrounded by enemies. Fought Death Eaters and dementors and giant spiders. Been heartbroken, anguished, and grief stricken. Lost friends and mentors and a brother.
And through it all, she’d survived… because of luck, or sheer force of will.
Maybe a little of both.
If she could suffer and endure and prevail through all of that, she could live through some anonymous wanker plaguing her with badly written poetry.

Summary
“Hey,” he said, approaching her slowly. He took both of her hands in his, but she repelled away from his touch. “Please, ‘Beth.”
This time, he cupped her damp cheek, moving it in his direction. “Please look at me.”
And when she finally obliged, her gaze was fractured with glistening tears, like diamonds.
“I can’t lose you again,” she whispered.
