Announcing... JILY WEEK 2025! 🌸🌸🌸

Last year, Kelsey ( @kay-elle-cee ) and I had a blast hosting Jily Week. We were blown away by the enthusiastic participation — 85 works from 27 unique creators, including fanfiction, art, videos, and more. We are, of course, delighted to bring it back this year, so clear your calendars and start your plotting for August 25th to 31st!

To participate, post a creative work corresponding to the daily prompt – fanfiction, fanart, playlists, metas, moodboards, etc. – anything goes! You can participate in as few or as many days as possible, but we challenge everyone to try and create something for every prompt, even if it's only a hundred-word drabble or a 5-minute sketch! Don't stress about meeting the exact prompt or the deadline - the most important thing is to have fun with it!

Remember to tag your works with #jily week 2025, mention @sunshinemarauder and @kay-elle-cee, and add any fic you write to the Jily Week 2025 AO3 Collection.

🌷 PROMPTS:

🌺 Day 1 – 25th of August – Knight in Shining Armor

Getting into a spot of trouble is unavoidable with these two, but half the fun is how they get out. Wherever there’s a damsel in distress, there must be a righteous protector following at their heel.

🌺 Day 2 – 26th of August – Green-Eyed Monster

Jealousy. It happens to the best of us, and the future Potters are no strangers to that dormant beast.

🌺 Day 3 – 27th of August – Calamity Strikes

If the world was ending, I’d wanna be next to you. There’s something about the eye of the storm, a stolen moment during the apocalypse, the climax of a bloody war, that unearths buried feelings.

🌺 Day 4 – 28th of August – More Than Convenient

Sometimes, the foundation to a healthy relationship is… convenience. Whether it's an advantageous Regency match or a last-minute roommate switch, any scenario involving a relationship/marriage of convenience is welcome.

🌺 Day 5 – 29th of August – Summer Fling

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, but Summer is also the prime time for seeing someone in a new light. Have these two been separated due to distance or Hogwarts break, destined to spend the summer as pen-pals, or have they been thrown together by happenstance onto a beach, pining away under the sun?

🌺 Day 6 – 30th of August – Angst vs Fluff

We’re bringing back a classic, with a twist! Write angst or fluff—your choice—but you’ve got to work in the phrase “You could have warned me”. Get creating!

🌺 Day 7 – 31st of August – Choose Your Own Adventure

Click here for a prompt generator and get inspired! Use as few or as many prompts as you want. Come up with unique trope-y concoctions – anything from Childhood Friends + Crime-Fighting + Bed-Sharing to Canon Divergent + Secret Identity + Norse Mythology!

The adventure begins... 🌷🌷🌷

london is lonely pt. 11

read from the beginning on ao3 | read chapter 11 on ao3

bet you thought you'd seen the last of me lol.

anywhere, here's wonderwall.

A year long ban.  And then a year long probation for all of them aside from Sirius, who naturally, was permanently banned.  James had never seen Remus look so miserable in his entire life.  Well aside from when Taylor Swift and Matty Healy broke up, though he’d never admit it.  But, at the same time, James had never been more pleased.  Caradoc was gone and Lily and her friends still remained and they were all going to the chip shop together.  It would have been so easy for them to part ways after their unceremonious removal from the pub, but instead the team continued on together.  James was rather delighted how easily Lily’s friends had slotted in with his own.

“I’m going to kill him,” Remus whispered to James as they made their way to the chippy down the road, “I’m going to kill him and then bring him back to life and then kill him all over again.”

James held in his snort.

“He just doesn’t think, does he?  I spent months finding that spot, MONTHS!”

“I know,” James tried to comfort Remus, but there was no stopping him.

“We all found the name offensive, but did any of us drop pints on their heads?” Remus continued, “No!  Because we’re not twelve years old!”

“You know he means well…”

“I don’t care what he means!” Remus sighed, “I’m going home.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about beginnings, particularly in fiction. What makes an author decide to start at a certain place? How much information does the author want us to have in the first act? Are we thrown into the thick of it? Are we meandering a bit?

Anyway, tell me your favorite beginnings.

I want to comment on this, because a lot of what she's saying is right, but I also think no one really phrases the first part of this correctly, and just want to distill this. She says the problem in hollywood is the creative decisions are being made by people who don't watch movies, and I want to push back on this a little. Because it takes a large army to make a movie (or a tv show) and there are a lot of people on that project making creative decisions. For example, the person making the most creative decisions on a movie (arguably, and this changes project to project to be fair) is the director. And I would argue, a lot of directors watch movies. I think what she means to say here is the final decision makers, the ones who green light the movies, the upper level executives don't watch movies. And honestly, I do think there's a good chunk of them who don't.

there is no way to demand power that does not read as 'violent' to those who already have power and enforce it with violence. there is no way to ask nicely for the wealthy to give up their wealth, for the cops to get their boots off necks, for the government to stop deporting people.

The year is 2056. The 30th doctor is David Tennant. He took over from David Tennant. His companion is played by David Tennant. The villain is David Tennant as David Tennant. The showrunner is David Tennant. You hear a knock on the door. It's David Tennant. He gives you a pocket watch. You open it and remember who you are. You were David Tennant all along.

Anastasia 1997 is such a funny movie in that it's opening sequence is like, "the Romanovs died because rasputin put a curse on them AND NO OTHER REASON DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHY THE ROMANOVS ARE DEAD OKAY IT WAS RASPUTIN"
