James Potter's 5 stages of grief re: wearing glasses

Denial: "Me? Glasses? No, no - I was just trying them on."

Anger: "Fuck off, what do you care if I wear glasses?"

Bargaining: "I'll stop hexing you if you stop making fun of my glasses."

Depression: "Evans will never like me now that I wear glasses 😭"

Acceptance: "Don't I look handsome with my new glasses?"

Are you too proud, Mr. Darcy? And would you consider pride a fault or a virtue? That I couldn’t say. Because we’re doing our best to find a fault in you.

Are You Experienced? (12.7k). Jily, canon, fluff. Completed, rated T. Rec'd by @abihastastybeans.

James Potter decides to ask Lily Evans to a Muggle live music show. This noble mission, however, requires a series of steps he is entirely clueless about: from procuring the tickets to finding the correct outfit, and most importantly, to spending an evening with Lily Evans without making an absolute fool of himself.

Customer In Law (6.2k). Jily, Muggle AU, fluff/humour. Completed, rated T. Rec'd by @joyseuphoria.

James Potter is young, handsome, the proud owner of a coffee shop, and tragically - according to his mother - single. In an attempt to stop her from trying to set him up with her friends' daughters, he decides to go along with his best friend's plan and recruit his regular customer Lily Evans to play the part of his girlfriend during his mother's birthday party. Of course, the fact that he’s got a huge crush on her is entirely irrelevant…

Do It Right (1.1k). Jily, Hogwarts. Completed, rated T. Rec'd by @joyseuphoria.

James Potter has had it with Lily Evans. Sure, she's brilliant and gorgeous, but ever since they started working together as Head Boy and Girl, she's been bloody annoying. To her, it seems like he's always doing the wrong thing - and she's just about to show him how to do things right...

Inescapable (4.6k). Jily, canon, soulmates. Completed, rated T. Rec'd by @joyseuphoria.

You’re born with two eye colours: one is your natural eye, and the other is the eye of your soulmate. When you meet, your eyes return to their natural state. One of them knows, the other doesn't. But whether they go with it or try to fight it, destiny always works out the way it was meant to.

The Lady Of Kini (963 words). Jily, mermaid!Lily AU. Completed, rated G. Rec'd by @practicecourts.

She has lived alone for centuries, keeping watch over the coast, patroness of fishermen and sailors - till the sea teams up with the west wind to claim the life of a lone young man.

take my hand and drag me head first

“Hey, do you have a minute?” Lily tightened her grip on her bag, hitching the strap up her shoulder. She glanced back toward the stairs. “You caught me at a bad time, Potter.” “Are you avoiding me?” Lily bit down on the tip of her tongue and looked at him, feeling almost dumbfounded. He wasn’t supposed to call her out on it. “I’m not… no, I’m just busy. I’ve got to get another three paragraphs done for Potions tomorrow or-“ “Evans.” James sighed and raked a hand through his hair. The habit used to drive her nuts for an entirely different reason than it did now. She blinked and looked down at her toes. A much safer place to look. “Please talk to me.” “I promised Mary that I’d help her out with-“ “Mary is in the corner playing chess with Remus.” James interrupted her. “Let’s just go out in the corridor and talk for a minute.” “We can’t. Lights out.” She pointed at nothing in particular and then grimaced. After all, it had only been a week since she and James sneaked down to the kitchens after lights out for a celebratory snack after they’d finally finished a particularly nasty Transfigurations essay. But James didn’t call her out on that. No, he just shrugged and nodded toward the staircase that led up to the boy’s dormitory. “Then we can go up to my room.” Lily’s stomach flipped. His room. Because he had his own room now that he was head boy. She wasn’t going to do that, that would be… well she wasn’t going to do it.
