A Jily Fic Coming Oct. 2024 - Rated M - Subscribe for Notification

Lily and James Potters’ love was fiery, filled with passion, tragedy, and love. It was not a fast ignition of a flame that proceeded to burn bright. No, it was a flame that was lit on the Hogwarts Express before anyone had joined the compartment. It burned brighter as their years progressed, and it was lit ablaze in their seventh year. It burned vividly until the day they died. Their love was described by many as a light that shined during the darkest parts of the war. This is their story.

With the warm reception I received after posting Mistle-Wow, I have decided to start posting my long Jily fic earlier than expected.

This is a long fic, canon-compliant, and centered around Jily.

The first chapter will detail James Potter's early years before Hogwarts. The next chapters will be for Sirius, Remus, Peter, Severus, and Lily. After that, we will get into the first ride of the Hogwarts Express, and continue on until Jily's death.

When I say long, I do mean it. I have plans for almost every month of their life once they start Hogwarts. Which means we are looking at over 120 chapters.

I plan on updating once a month at first, however, I aim to move into more frequent updates after the new year.

I hope you are excited, the first chapter is ~15k words.

Had a really bad day today so I decided to play through the entirety of A Light In The Shadows again. Including both level packs. Sometimes you just need to avoid the color orange as a really really really sad glowing cat.

Drew a little something today, I kinda like it. The glow didn't go how I wanted it though. ID in alt.

Oh... Blushes... you are too kind...

It very much is friendship and Jily focused. I am actually really excited about the relationship (platonic friendship) I have planned for James and Remus.

It's quite obvious from the books that Sirius and James were best friends, their friendship was loud and colorful.

James and Remus had a very tight relationship and I always pictured them finding quietness together. Not necessarily, quietness literally, but more of James' softer side. Sirius is fire, Remus is water, Peter is earth - and James is the air that they all breathe. Air and water are both liquids that are very different but complement each other.

They both come from loving families but have very different upbringings. But that commonality gives them something special. It's late-night convos about defense or care of magical creatures. Or another time when James' knows he messed up, but Remus just sits there, not telling him off, but James knows that Remus wants to say something. Remus sits there in support and lets James talk it out. It's James getting that Remus is not well, but not letting him be unwell alone.

It's a very subtle, but powerful, friendship. Neither of them needs to be loud to be heard.

Remus and James’ friendship is so important to me.

The moon and the sun.

So far away but connected by the stars.

I feel like they just understand eachother

Is there a fandom for this thing? If there's not then I'm going to make it with my bare hands.

[livelaughlovetoread]

I cannot tell you how much even being nominated means to me, let alone getting this shout out - y’all are just too much. Thank you 🥰❤️🥰❤️

This year during the nominations period we asked you all to shout out "honourable mentions" for people and things in Fandom that you appreciate. We are now sharing those shout-outs during the voting rounds.

That is BRILLIANT!

I’m not sure if you’re still doing this, but I am super curious about the post-TEOTS far harbour WIP you mentioned, if you’d like to share!!

Oh thank you my friend! Definitely happy to answer.

For context, this was in relation to the WIP ask meme where I offered up a list of WIPs for people to ask about if they wanted.

So I've had this idea almost as long as I've been writing TEOTS where, post-Institite, for Reasons That Are Very Spoilery, Anthony is not really available (he's alive I promise just busy). So Nick goes to Deacon instead for help with the Nakano case.

Honestly I just really wanted more Railroad involvement in that whole DLC. So I thought this might be an interesting way to play with that idea. I don't plan to do the whole thing, which is maybe why I don't have more concrete plans for which part I want to focus on. I just also picture it as the first big adventure Deacon and MacCready go on after the Institute, as a truly committed serious couple where Deacon's more ready to be open about it. So getting to kind of see them figuring that out while they're helping Nick.

So yeah, maybe watch for that once I finish TEOTS 😊
