I have covid and I might die tonight because I can’t breath anymore so I apologize if my fanfics don’t get finished.

Sirius was the artist, his parent had included drawing lesson to his education (it was the only thing he liked during his year at Grimmauld square) and he had a real talent. He was the designer of the marauder's map and so when James and Lily asked him to be the baby's godfather he knew he had to do something special.

[lame-adventures]

the most romantic line in the whole harry potter series is “i have seen your heart and it is mine.” that shit is unbelievably dramatic. it sounds like something out of wuthering heights. it sounds like an agonized confession delivered in a thunderstorm from one conflicted lover to another, acknowledging the way their fatal flaws mirror yet complement each other, a desire to reflect and to perceive and ultimately to forgive. unfortunately, it is also spoken by horcrux locket tom riddle to ron weasley

[lame-adventures]

"You're really soft."

This is for @women-inthe-sequel and @alrightginger who i told i was taking a break for the night and then didn’t. I guess we’re all just big liars when it comes to taking breaks from writing.

Lily leaned back again the maroon sheets tucked into James’ head dorm room. The two had been alternating between rooms to study and work on patrols each night, usually opting for the common room or library, but she took one look at him after Quidditch practice and let him know they’d be taking it easy and work from the comfort of their dorms that evening.

“Wow, I love your bed. It might be more comfortable than mine?” she admitted, bouncing on her bottom for a moment while grinning up at him. James seemed lost in thought as he stared at her, and she froze for a moment. “You okay?”

“Huh? Yeah, I’m good.” he replied, shaking his head slightly before offering her his signature cheeky grin, leaning back on the small love seat settled into the corner of his room. James had gotten so tall that his head rest on one arm rest and knees bent over the other, feet almost brushing the floor.

“You look so uncomfortable,” Lily admitted, gesturing for him to sit beside her. James chewed on his lower lip, almost looking pained, before he shrugged and settled in against his headboard, propped up by enormous pillows.

“You’re right, this is way more comfortable,” James admitted, reaching over to squeeze Lily’s shoulder. She suppressed a shudder at the physical contact, smiling sweetly up at him.

“I’m always right,” Lily joked, trying to return the mood to normal, though there still felt like some electrical buzz in the air. 

“So, what are we thinking for rounds? I’ve got more quidditch practices coming up in the evenings during the week so gryffindor prefects may have to do more weekend patrols, but they’ll understand. We’ve got to win the cup this year!” 

“I have absolutely no doubt you’ll be able to do that,” Lily reassured him, scratching down some notes. Her hair fell in a curtain around her face as she leaned forward, and James instantly reached up to tuck it back behind her ear. She peeked over at him and offered another smile, this one a bit shy. 

“You know..” James trailed off, waving his hand as if telling her to forget it.

“What?” she asked quietly, looking nervous as her mind went into overdrive within those few seconds, trying to figure out what he was going to say.

“It’s nothing. I just forget how pretty you are sometimes, and then I see you again. That’s all.” Lily would’ve thought he’d have a cocky smirk on his face after he said these words, but instead, he looked sincere as he met her gaze. Their eyes stayed locked for a moment until she broke apart, returning her attention to their patrols, though she could still feel James’ eyes on her face for another second or two.

The pair worked on the patrol schedule and then turned their attention to potions essays. It was after midnight when James looked down to find Lily curled up on her side, face pressed into his ribs. He smiled and moved a hand through her hair which only caused her to nuzzle into him more. This time, her arm came up to wrap around his waist, tucking herself gently against him. 

James felt himself just watching her, not fully recognizing that he also was being lulled into a restful state, calmed by her soothing presence. 

They awoke the next morning to James’ owl pecking at the window until it creaked open and she could fly in to deliver the mail from his parents. James peeked down at Lily who was starting to come to, blinking her eyes until they were able to stay fully open.

“Morning, Evans,” he whispered, running another hand through her hair, using the other to adjust his glasses so he could see her better.

“Morning, James,” she mumbled, choosing to nuzzle against him instead of getting up right away. 

“Sleep well?” James asked quietly, enjoying Lily’s closeness.”

“Yeah, I did,” she told him softly, eyes lit up with delight. “Y’know, you’re really soft.”

With that, Lily’s eyes closed again, settling into that early morning state of being half asleep, just enjoying James’ warmth. James realized she wasn’t going anywhere and settled back down, letting his hand continue its stroking through her hair until they both fell back to sleep, just for a little while.

snape was also best friends with someone that was discriminated against by wizarding society, but he just agreed with the rest of them, called her slurs, joined the nazi-terrorist group that took their prejudice to the extreme, and eventually caused her murder.

that’s the fucking difference.

Chapter 28: Sirius, The Clichéd Matchmaker

“You fucked up,” Sirius plonked himself down next to Lily at the dining table.

“’lo Sirius, thanks for saving my life,” Lily replied dully, waving a piece of toast at him without looking.

“Yes, yes, your welcome, glad you’re alive and all that rot,” Sirius patted her on the shoulder gingerly.

Head heavy and eyes burning from such a deep sleep, it took James several moments to blink himself awake. When he did, he took in what he knew of his surroundings. He was in his bedroom, in his own bed…

And there was a girl in his arms. 

A girl whose hair he had been nuzzling. 

A girl who sighed, content, and buried her head in his chest as she slept on. 

Lily. 

James paused for a moment, his confusion only slight as he remembered the previous night. He and Lily had kissed. A lot, if he was remembering correctly. They had spent most of the night kissing, in fact. 

And she asked to stay the night.

Remus and Lily Headcanons

Part two of my Lily headcanon series (Sirius and Lily here!). We all know Remus and Lily were the platonic loves of their lives, but I also propose: chaotic evil Lily and lawful evil Remus. Requested by @wolfstarsthings.

Send me more requests here, I’d love to write something for you!

Lily almost sat with Remus on their first train to Hogwarts, but some jerk with big round glasses pushed her out of the way and stole her spot before she could get there

Lily and Remus start a tea club; every week they meet and brew a different kind of tea and sample the various crackers that McGonagall lays out for them they’re the only members

Always fighting about who is smarter; will literally burn libraries to the ground before they admit they’re wrong about some tiny insignificant fact

“Oh yeah, well what’s the optimal temperature to brew Volubilis?”

“You don’t even know the answer to that!”

“Yes I do!”

For Lily’s birthday, Remus always buys her a bouquet of roses or daisies or daffodils, but never lilies, and it makes her laugh every time

Remus and Lily sit next to each other at dinner and steal food from each other’s plates when they aren’t looking, and Lily never gets caught because Remus thinks Sirius is the culprit

Lily will blame Sirius for almost anything to maintain her innocence, and Remus never suspects it’s her

Remus has a bad habit of biting his nails, so Lily offers to paint his nails to discourage his horrid habit

At first, he complains, but he secretly loves it, especially when she picks all the colors of the rainbow for the summer holidays in June

Lily’s bad habit is her absolutely filthy sailor’s mouth

She can out-swear even James when he’s revved up about a Quidditch loss

Remus tries to make a swear jar, but Lily’s out of money before the day is even half over and it only makes her swear louder

Remus and Lily bond over their love for candles, and even go out on candle making dates when they spend a couple days together during the winter holiday

Remus didn’t tell Lily that he was a werewolf; she just waited in the courtyard one night as the full moon was rising, arms crossed on her chest, waiting for James, Sirius and Remus to stumble out of the castle, because she already knew

She stood guard underneath the Whomping Willow all night, every full moon of their seventh year, to keep wandering students away

After every moon, Lily visits Remus in the infirmary and gives him a bar of chocolate and a little stuffed animal

He names them all and keeps them in a box under his bed

Whenever Lily receives a nasty note from her sister or misses her muggle life, Remus is always right there with an arm around her shoulder, quietly reading her favorite book to her

At one point, Remus and Lily get so close that James pulls him aside and asks if they’re dating, and Remus falls onto the ground and nearly dies of laughter

Remus was the one who suggested Lily be made Head Girl

When Lily becomes the fourth Marauder P*ter who?, not even Remus can reign in her tyranny

Remus forces Lily to dye his hair when he hears that Sirius thinks colored hair is cool, but she accidentally bleaches his hair and they have to buzz his beautiful curls off Sirius secretly still thinks he’s hot

Remus is the only person that can sometimes beat Lily at Wizard’s Chess

She’s a chess QUEEN, not even Dumbledore can beat her

Remus told Lily that he thought he might not be on hundred percent straight on the last day of their fourth year

Lily automatically asks about Sirius and Remus flushes tomato-red because who said anything about Sirius?

But Lily knows

And Remus knows it, too

So when it finally happens, Lily’s scream almost shatters every window in Hogwarts

She realizes that it means she’s going to have to tolerate Sirius Black on an hourly basis now, but she does it for Remus

Lily is the one who suggests that Remus and Sirius join James on a double date

She immediately regrets it as soon as the boys walk down the street wearing matching sweaters that say he’s mine, but Sirius’ arrow is pointing the wrong way, towards James

Lily can hold her alcohol like no other, but Remus can’t, so she spends plenty of nights lugging this half-man half-werewolf over her shoulder and tucking him into bed she always kisses him goodnight

Lily wanted to become an animagus, too, but could just never manage to get the right transformation, and James made her give it up before she got hurt

Remus is a great scrapbooker, so for their graduation, he makes Lily a collage of all their favorite memories, filled with pictures and little mementos

A pressed four leaf clover from the time they ditched their first class together and fell asleep in the fields surrounding Hogwarts

A tea packet from the meeting of their club when Remus admitted to liking a boy in their class

A red ribbon from their Halloween costume one year, when Lily was Red Riding Hood and Remus was the Big Bad Wolf

After they graduate, Remus and Lily still hold tea club every week, but this time they slip a bit of alcohol in, too

James and Sirius go out to the pub so they don’t have to deal with the tears that come when a very drunk Lily and Remus turn on the Hallmark channel movies

James asks for Remus’ help in choosing an engagement ring for Lily, because he knows exactly what she likes

Remus helps plan the proposal too, stringing up all the lights in the middle of the forest and charms the perfect symphony of crickets and lightning bugs

At the wedding, Remus hardly makes it through his co-best man speech, and Lily is up there in her beautiful dress hugging him with tears in the corners of her eyes, too

Lily tells Remus she’s pregnant by gifting him a baby book, and he doesn’t get it at first

Sirius is the one screaming over his shoulder, jumping all over James

When Harry is born, he already has a library of books that rivals Hogwarts’, all gifted by Uncle Moony

Harry’s first word is Moomy, and Lily and Remus argue over whether he said Moony or Mommy

On Halloween night, Remus strolls up to the Potter’s house with big dog ears pinned in his hair and a black spot on his nose, but where there was once a house is now steaming piles of charred ash

He digs through the wispy remains of books and photos, and even finds a red and gold scarf, half-burned, that falls apart in his fingers

Every Halloween, Remus visits the site where the Potter’s house once stood and lays a bouquet of lilies on the grassy knoll

[lame-adventures]

Can you do an afterglow Jily, after they’ve done it in some sort of crazy place? Like... outside or semi public or a professor’s office or something?

I love these afterglow prompts you’re passing out... Here it is. I don’t know what it is but enjoy!

“Wow,” James breathed out, his forehead dipping to press against Lily’s shoulder. His hands fell to her stomach, keeping her tucked against him. It was clammy beneath the invisibility cloak. James’ pants were down around his ankles and Lily’s skirt was hiked up around her waist. 

“Did we really just do that?” Lily whispered, looking around nervously as she tried to figure out how she had let James just bend her over and have some fun in the middle of their rounds. They hadn’t even attempted to find a broom closet to hide in.

“Yup, we did,” James had a cocky grin on his face as he used his wand to cast a cleaning charm over both of them, though he wished Lily had done it because he could still feel the grime as if it was on his body. Her charms never felt like that, she had mastered them.

“Stop looking at me like that,” Lily muttered, trying to tug her skirt down, though it was difficult with James still pressed against her from behind as she tried to right herself. 

“Like what?” 

“Like you’re the cat who got the cream, James. This isn’t… we aren’t…” Lily was flustered, trying to figure out what she was saying and how to pull herself out of his grasp, even though his fingers were stroking beneath her uniform shirt and she was like putty in his hands. 

Lily leaned back against him, just letting the warmth and adrenaline fill her body. His hand had clamped over her mouth for a majority of their tryst and something about it had driven her wild. Something about the control he had in that moment while she felt like she wanted to break apart and yell out his name had made her come that much faster.

“But… I am,” James mumbled into her ear, grinning as she let out a huff and rolled her eyes at his response. 

“I cannot stand you,” Lily muttered, though the husky tone of her voice didn’t prove to be that threatening and he just chuckled instead, placing a kiss on the spot her shirt dipped and revealed the curve of her neck. 

“I highly doubt that, Evans. In fact, I believe just a few minutes ago you were thinking quite the opposite,” James spun her around carefully, the cloak still hiding their bodies from anyone who may be trying to sneak out, though the corridors remained empty. “I actually think you quite like me.”

“Hm, that may be true,” she admitted quietly, pressing her cheek to his chest as he finally just held her to him, the skirt falling down from her waist with some of his assistance. “But there are still times I can’t stand you.”

“Maybe, but not as much as the times that you like me and I’ll take that as a win.” James pressed a soft kiss to the top of her head and finally pulled back an inch, taking the time to pull the invisibility cloak from over them, a sudden chill emanating from the large stone corridor. The cloak had provided a semblance of warmth, their bodies pressed together out of a desperation not to be seen. 

“C’mon, we’ve got rounds to finish,” James slipped his hands into hers, reaching up with his free hand to tuck a piece of her hair behind her ear. 

Lily just smiled, squeezing his hand tightly as she tried to avoid any more thoughts about James and a broom closet. This had been way more fun.

[lame-adventures]

Lily: just admit that you were wrong

James: *eating a salted cookie* its way better this way

[lame-adventures]

Sirius: tell us one of your secrets Prongs

James: Oh okay

James: I have a huge crush on Lily Evans

Remus: he said a secret

Lily: doesn't the whole school know that

[lame-adventures]

This is my first every fic so I hope you enjoy. Its a cute little pre-dating jily fluff fic

Christ, put some clothes on - Jily

School had only been back for two weeks and due to their new shared living quarters, James had already had his fair share of embarrassing encounters with Lily.  From leaving his boxers in the common room (don’t ask him how they got there) to almost walking in on Lily in the shower, the past fortnight had not been easy on James’s poor heart. This however, this situation right now, might perhaps be the worst.

 Following a particular hard training session, James simply wanted to sit on an armchair by the fire and finish the prefect round schedule. He was walking down the stairs after a shower when he saw her. 

“Hi James” she states, her voice like honey. 

“Er – hullo, hi Lily” James manages to stumble out. 

“How was training?” she asks, making herself a cup of tea. She nods to James in question in which he shakes his head in response. 

“It was… good. Yeah, and wet. Obviously, you can see that because it’s raining and yeah, so it was cold as well… because of the rain.” Honestly James is impressed he was able to reply to Lily at all given her state of dress.

She is just wearing a faded grey shirt that falls to her thighs and if she is wearing pants, James cannot tell. Not that that’s not okay, its night and if she doesn’t want to wear pants she doesn’t have to. She is allowed to wear what she wants.  She lives here too, why should she be made to wear clothes that make her uncomfortable just for his sake? 

They’re just pants. 

It doesn’t bother James at all. Doesn’t bother him that he can see all of Lily’s pale legs with the firelight bouncing off them. That her legs travel all the way – 

“Yeah, I can see that it’s raining.” She is smirking at him.  Like she knows exactly what is going on inside his head. “What are you doing now?” 

“Oh, I’m just finishing off the prefect schedules before our meeting in the morning.” 

Lily smiles at this, and James cannot help the flutter the passes through him knowing that he caused that. The way her eyes crinkle slightly lets James know that the smile is genuine. 

“Thats great! Let me know if you want me to look over it once you are done” she responds, crossing her arms. That is when James notices that she is not wearing a bra. This is officially too much, between her long golden legs and the fact that he is now confronted with her breasts James, needs a minute or two to himself. 

“Christ, put some clothes on” he mutters to himself. How does anyone expect him to function as a head boy if he is to be confronted with this sight on a daily occurrence. Lily is simply gorgeous, and it is going to be an extremely long year if she looks like this every evening. 

“Pardon” 

Lily cuts through his thoughts and he realises he may have been a bit louder in his complaints that he anticipated. “Nothing, nothing” he can’t even look her in the eye. “Just talking to myself.” 

Slowly she takes a step forward, and then another, until she is right in front of him, holding his eye contact, not giving him any option to look away. He can’t think straight knowing her breasts are right there and that there is only two thin layers of fabric between their chests and that she is not wearing a bra. And that she is not wearing pants, which means her legs keep on going, unprotected. 

“Does my current outfit make you uncomfortable James?” she asks.

He gulps. “No, no, of course not, you can wear whatever you want, whatever you are most comfortable in. What I think shouldn’t matter.” 

“And what is it that you think?” she is so close that he can count the number of freckles that are dusting her nose, and her green eyes are looking at him so intently that he can’t possibly lie to her. 

“I think you are beautiful, but I think this outfit may be a bit too much for me to handle.” He blurts out. 

She laughs, stepping back, and the coolness James feels at her loss of proximity, is remedied by the sound of her happiness. 

“Well, I’ll have you know that I am wearing pants at the moment, so you don’t have to worry about that” he glances down to her legs again, slightly sad now that he knows they are not completely bare. 

“But I’ll make sure I where a bra in the future” she whispers, walking past him towards her dormitory, giving him a whiff of her freshly washed hair. “Goodnight James.” 

“Night Lil” he responds, sinking into the armchair, wonder how he will ever survive this year living with this temptress.
