A forever fav of mine!!

@hprecfest Day 17: a fic that makes you cry.

the way you left me by @possessingtheproperspirit [Jily, M, angst/grief/loss. Oneshot. 2021].

Summary: At nineteen, James vanishes, and Lily breaks. *Note from author: Based loosely on the prompt "au where james leaves one night to keep the lily safe and is assumed dead but returns to lily when the war is over to find she is ‘engaged’ to someone else."

Not going to lie, this one hurts, but it's sooo well written. It makes you feel everything. And...let's not forget there's light at the end of the tunnel. 💔🩹😌

[formerlympp]

fuck it we live in the worst timeline nothing matters let's reread some fic

I'm not even exaggerating when I say I have absolutely no free time this week for anything so naturally my brain wants to reread We Can Still Be Friends

Hey! I am rereading ATTSS and I would love to read about James realising Lily is actually his soulmate. 🤗 I’m so glad you are back and I discovered this new account!! 💙

Hi hello there!! Lovely to hear from you 😊

I had a similar request from an anon! In case you missed it, you can read a mini ATTSS epilogue here:

Hey it's me again lol

I'm watching A Year In Life and I just had to send this before the finish because omg the nostalgia that hit me is huge! And it's crazy because it's only been like hours since I finished the last season, but I still felt it. I can't even imagine what it must have been like for you guys after all those years, to see Stars Hollow again, to hear that familiar music right away, to see all the characters back. And it's so cool that almost every little character came back, even the troubadour! You can tell everyone loved this project 🥹

If it's ok I'll message you one more time in the end with final thoughts, but I'll do it once you finish AYIL too, so that we can be in synch with impressions!

P.S. Did you see that Walmart just released a new ad with LUKE LORELAI AND KIRK?! Literally just a FEW DAYS AGO?! What are the chances? So many years of no GG and they release something new on basically the day that I finish the show! It's like it was meant to be 😍

Ooh I am so excited to hear you reaction to AYIL. It's been such a fun journey 🥹 I will keep you posted as I get there but my lifes going to be super duper busy over the next few weeks so if I start taking too long please feel free to hmu!!

James' first encounter with Lily after she lost her memory in Mind Games. I don't know if that would be okay since we never reached that part, but I'm craving some angst 😆💔

Ooh wow, Mind Games. I didn't think anyone remembered this little guy!! You made me look at my notes for the first time in like a year. We actually had another chapter to go before the first James and Lily interaction so I don't have anything fun to share. But I can tell you from the outline that James spills the beans to Sirius and the ever-encouraging best friend helps James concoct a plan to get back into Lily's life. So that is the focus of their first interaction post memory loss 😊

The only scene I have done that I could share is their first time messing around at the beach house. But I doubt anyone wants to read that 🤭

[formerlympp]

i will, without fail, make sirius jily's biggest fan. he will always ship them more than anyone else.

[formerlympp]

Send you a prompt response

Reckless now was the first AU Jily I ever read and it remains one of my favorites! Any continuation of that or that world will make me so happy ❤️

hi hi! it is always flattering to hear one of my stories was someone's first AU. I know how long it took me to jump from canon to muggle AUs especially! 🥲 that all said, I am in the process of rewriting trn into two originals so I don't have any plans to republish the fic. here's a little glimpse into a new bit I've written

He would be lying if he said this was the first time he’d gotten half-hard at a bar. The beer in his system seems to be urging him on instead of slowing him down and the proof manifests in the uncomfortable bulge in his pants that he has to adjust discreetly before exiting the bathroom. Maybe if he were less drunk he’d be a bit more ashamed as he makes his way back to his friends.

When he spots the redhead across the bar, now talking animatedly with her friends, he doesn’t have an ounce of regret to show for it.

“Did you get lost, Chris?”

He can’t keep the grin off his face as he slides back into his seat. “Nah.” His eyes lock with crystal blue. “I actually might have found something.”

[formerlympp]

For your send me anything and I’ll write it post - I’d love a glimpse into the lives of established And Then The Symphony Starts jily 🫶 You don’t have to go down this route but one thing I’ve always wondered is if adult James ever remembers that he heard the orchestra in his head after Lily introduced herself when they were kiddies

I got two requests for some post ATTSS jily, and... welllll, I suppose it would go a little something like this

Lily has to shade her eyes from the sunshine gleaming off the metal playground equipment. Thankfully it is too early in the day for the metal to have grown hot, a fleeting thought of hers as she watches her mother guide her toddler son toward the smallest slide. She clearly remembers the way the hot metal stung her skin during all the long days she played here as a child.

Preoccupied as she is with the memories of those happy days of her childhood, she doesn't react to the fingers that slip between hers on her free hand, knowing without question to whom those fingers belong.

Her husband stands at her side, something like anticipation emanating off of him as the pair watch their son Harry, nearly two years old, climb up the small ladder toward a slide. After a few minutes, Lily’s father joins his wife and grandson, sharing his warm encouragement and excitement, and James tugs at Lily's hand, gesturing for them to walk. She needs no convincing.

The pair walk along the pavement surrounding the playground, enjoying the warmth of the summer’s day and the companionable silence that has been hard to come by since Harry started speaking.

"How does it feel, being back here?" James asks, on their second lap around the playground.

"Lovely. I used to come here as a child all the time and never tire of it."

"Yeah?" Lily can hear the smile in her husband’s voice; it is a comfort all on its own. "And what was your favorite thing to do?"

"The swings, of course."

"Oh, of course."

Lily doesn't need to ask to know where James is leading her now. Hands still linked, he pulls her toward the set of swings, something akin to childlike wonder accelerating his step. She follows along without hesitation; she would follow James anywhere.

Laughing, Lily drops into the swing, immediately beginning to pump her legs. The familiar feeling of freedom washes over her, she feels it as if it were the wind whipping through her loose hair. Next to her, James does the same, though a little less gracefully with his long limbs. It doesn’t take long for him to get the hang of it, and they swing side-by-side in near-perfect synchronization.

Before she can stop the childish notion she joyfully asks, “Want to see who can jump farther?”

Still pumping hard, it takes her a moment to realize James has dug his feet into the mulch at his feet and sputtered to a stop.

“I was only joking,” Lily tosses at him, now tucking her legs back to slow herself down. “I’d rather not have us break our necks just to prove a…” But her voice trails off when she notices James’ far away stare. “James?”

“I… I’ve been here before. I’ve only just realized.”

Lily skids to a halt, the swing jerking unevenly forward and backward as she rapidly stops its forward progression. She nods slowly. “Well, it’s a fairly popular playground.” She casts a look around the vacant playground, where only their small party still plays despite the hour nearing ten. “At least, it was when we were kids.”

“No,” says James with a shake of his head, “no, I mean here. I’ve been here on this swing and there was a girl… a girl with red hair that swayed wildly in the breeze as she jumped through the air and… and…”

Lily hardly believes what she’s hearing, slow to process her husband’s rambling, even as he struggles to find more words. She suddenly feels very warm, warm in a way unattributed to the sun.

“I heard it. I heard it. And it was you.” He rises to his feet, hands flying into his hair in unison and then a laugh escapes him as he turns on his heel to face her. “You are my soulmate, Lily.”

She rises to her feet slowly, letting the words wash over her. It has been years since they've spoken about soulmates, many years, in fact, since James came to her apartment and started healing her broken heart. It has been a long time since she grappled with doubt.

Walking up to James’ side, she wraps her arms around his waist before leaning up to kiss him softly on the cheek. “We knew that already, didn’t we? Many years ago now, as I recall.”

When she drops back onto her heels, she is met with the warmth of James’ smile. The smile she knows better than any other. He tucks her closer, planting a kiss on the top of her head. “Yeah, we did… So the only question that remains, are we going to see who can jump farther or what?”

Lily grins, pushing herself away from her husband and lunging back for the swing. “Oh, you are so going down, Potter.”

Prompt for Chasing Life: James decides to throw his caution to the wind and kisses Lily on the rooftop.

bold!! you are the best, this was so fun. there is honestly a couple of ways I thought this could play out, but here is the direction I think I would have taken it in the story if it would've happened this way, knowing where James was mentally at during this point of the story. the beginning of this scene will be familiar bc how could I not include at least a bit of my fav rooftop scene :)

“Do you remember telling me about yourself that night?”

“I didn’t tell you about myself that night.”

“Exactly.”—he can hear the smile in her voice—"You said I’m not that deep, do you remember?”

Remember? He finds it hard to forget anything when it comes to her. “I do.”

“I knew it wasn’t true,” she says; turning to face him as though she is confessing a secret. “I didn’t know if you believed it or simply wanted me to, but I knew it was hippogriff shite.”

James laughs, a small involuntary chuckle, the kind that she is so adept at pulling out of him, even if he doesn’t want to.

And right now, he doesn’t want to.

“Is that why you turned me down?” he asks before he can stop himself. “Because of what I might have lacked?”

Lily doesn’t answer right away. Her eyes, the green now faded as the sun disappears below the horizon, study him for a long moment before she turns again to look at the sky.

“I fall in love easily,” she confesses to the stars; he considers himself lucky to be among the constellations tonight. “With music, with books and the characters inside, with ideas, and sometimes even with people.” There is a smile on her lips as she continues to stare upward, beyond, and he thinks there might be something sad behind it. “I need someone open to the possibility of falling in love. I don’t mean something immediate like love at first sight. Just the promise that there is a chance for more. I’m sure that sounds silly to you—”

“It doesn’t.” He can’t help himself from interrupting, a small attempt to stop the breath that is being painfully wrenched from his lungs.

Her gaze falls upon him again and there is just enough light to see that her smile looks anything but sad. “And before you let your ego take a hit, James, understand that it had nothing to do with your looks. Not that you need me to tell you how attractive you are."

He chuckles—a lie, a betrayal to his heart (though he doesn’t understand this yet). “I’ll sleep like a babe tonight now.”

“Speaking of… it’s getting late. I should get home.”

He follows her lead as she rises to her feet and closes the space between them. Her smile is soft, her eyes sparkling brighter than the stars above them.

It is only too easy to imagine it: tilting her face higher, dusting his lips along her freckles, finding her mouth for a long, slow kiss. To imagine her sighing and sinking her fingers into his hair, sinking into him. It is too easy to let himself believe she wants the same thing as they keep each other's gaze.

Then he remembers her confession and knows no matter how much he wants to, she wants more. More than he can give her.

And yet…

There is something about the way she is looking at him; something in her gaze that blazes brightly despite the darkness around them. There is an earnestness there he has come to know, that is impossible for him to ignore. Time suspends between them, almost a physical thing that he could reach out and touch if he chose to, but never would out of fear of breaking it.

“James?”

He reaches forward in reply, pointer finger slipping along the curve of her jaw before tilting her mouth higher. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he clocks the slightest widening of those earnest eyes, the quick inhale of breath between her faintly parted lips, but he thinks of neither thing as he leans forward and presses his mouth to hers.

The kiss is gentle, far gentler than his usual approach. It is only when she doesn’t pull back, when, in fact, she wraps her fingers around his forearm, that he tugs her closer, letting her body crash solidly into his and kissing her more deeply. Surprisingly, his roughness seems to only encourage her, and instead of sighing and sinking into him, she kisses him back fiercely, passionately. It is a passion he has seen time and again as he has gotten to know all the different sides of her, and yet somehow it is an unexpectedly pleasant surprise to be on the receiving end of it.

Her eagerness fuels him and without thinking, his hand slips from her jaw down her body, resting firmly on her arse before he lifts her into him. It is the feeling of her legs wrapping securely around his waist—something he has thought more about than he’ll admit to anyone—and the way she drags her nails through his hair that finally jolts him back into reality. I fall in love easily…

She wants more.

“Shit,” he pants out, pulling back far enough to get a proper look at her.

She is panting too, eyes slow to open before she softly asks, “What—what is it?”

He clears his throat before disentangling her legs and placing her back on her feet, hoping the action with help him gain some coherence. It doesn't help that goosed skin erupts all over him as her hands slip from his hair down his neck and over his shoulders before landing firmly on his chest. “I’m, shit, I’m sorry, Evans. I shouldn’t have done that.” Lily studies him uncertainly, doe-eyed and beautiful, and removes her hands from him, but doesn’t say anything. “It was… that was a mistake, I was being an idiot, not thinking straight.”

“Oh.”

James clears his throat, unable to stop himself from ruffling his hair in a sudden bout of nerves. “Let’s—just—let’s forget… I won’t—I just—” He shakes his head in frustration at his own tongue-tied idiocy. He wishes he could attribute it to exhaustion from his match, but he can only blame himself and his selfish impulses. “I should—we should go.”

“Okay,” she says with a nod, stepping away from him, the same briskness in her step that is in her tone. It stings.

“Evans? I am sorry. Truly.”

She stops mid-step and turns back to look at him. “It’s late, James. Can we please just go?”

And without waiting for a reply, she continues toward his broomstick and he has no choice but to follow, knowing that he has fucked everything up between them and not seeing how to even begin to fix it.

Done with s7! You were right, the last few episodes made it a little more bearable cause things almost felt like old times again. But the first half, oof, painful. Like a soap opera AU with soap-appropriate level of conflicts and resolutions and caricaturish characterizations. You know the TV trope where characters dream that they're in a sitcom with an outlandish set up and plot? That's what it felt like watching L/C play house for those episodes and talk about how in love they are 😵‍💫 only laugh track was missing.

But I won't be holding anything that happened in that period against the characters, they were clearly their AU versions and not themselves 😂

Anyway, only the Renewal left now, feeling a bit sad 🥹

I have greatly enjoyed hearing your thoughts while you were watching! I'm starting to hit the rough part of season 6...and I'm gonna power through it lmao. I've only watched the year in a life episodes a couple of times and it's been a while so I'm excited for a rewatch of those too!
