#1 - Cottage, for April AU @jilymicrofics. Theme: Childhood friends AU

Petunia is frowning, looking down the street with contempt. Lily doesn’t understand it.

“Do you want to look around?” She asks. 

Petunia shakes her head. “I want to go away! I don’t want to live here!”

Lily throws her a sympathetic look that Petunia ignores; there isn’t anything any of them can do now. Their parents just signed the contract and now the Evans are the owners of a nice cottage in the country.

Lily doesn’t want to say anything, but she is happy with this change. Sure, she will miss their home in London, her school and her friends, but there’s something about this village that looks far more charming; perhaps it’s the old look of the town, one that takes her back to Roman times, or the cottages that seem to have existed there since Shakespeare was a boy, but whatever it is, she could swear that Godric’s Hollow is almost magical—

“There are no other kids here,” Petunia adds, moping. She turns to enter the house. “We will be all alone with old people.”

Lily had always thought her sister fared better with grownups — everyone always commented how proper and well-behaved she was — but she doesn’t answer, Petunia’s concerns reaching her now. There is no school in the village, so they will study in a nearby town—but when they return home, that's it for the day, and Petunia says she is too old to keep company with Lily all the time now…

Perhaps this change wasn’t a good idea after all.

She kicks a stone in the ground, and sits dismayed on the porch in front of her new home. She doesn’t want to be alone—she closes her eyes and imagines all the magic in this small town swirling like a galaxy spiral, wishing that she won’t be alone—

And the universe seemingly answers her, for when Lily opens her eyes, she finds a boy around her age in front of her, looking just as amazed to find her there as she is to see him.

“Hey,” he calls, smiling. “Are you the new neighbours?”

She nods. “We've just moved here.”

“Thank Merlin for that, when Mrs. Bagshot told me a new family was moving, I thought she meant another ancient couple from the time she wrote her book.”

Lily isn’t sure she understands half of what he means. “Ah—my parents are young.”

“Oh, mine aren’t, though Dad says wine tastes better with age.”

“I don’t drink wine.”

“Me neither, it smells funny.” 

She blinks. “And I’m ten.”

“Oh.” He frows for a moment, worried. “I’m nine. When is it your birthday?”

“January.”

“So you’ve just turned ten?” Lily nods. “Oh, my birthday is next month, you’re not that much older then.” He throws her a mischievous smile. “We can be friends!”

“I don’t know if I can be friends with someone so young.”

“Oh, it’s just two months—”

She giggles. “I’m joking! You should have seen your face.” He watches her for a moment before breaking into a laugh.

“Okay, you are fun, new neighbour.”

“I have a name, old neighbour. It’s Lily. Lily Evans.”

He smiles broadly. “I’m James. James Potter,” he says, copying her. “Have you gone to the old playground yet?” She shakes her head. “It’s just at the end of the street, can you go?”

Lily looks down the street; as long as she keeps her house in sight, her parents don’t mind her exploring the place. “Yes.”

“Brilliant!” They walk together; James seems to bounce rather than walk, which amuses her. “I almost never go to the playground. Mum gets too tired and it’s stupid to swing alone.”

Her eyes sparkle. “I love swings.”

“Me too! It’s like—” He smiles to himself now. “Like flying.” James steals a glance at her, then he lowers his voice. “Can I share a secret with you? You cannot tell anyone.” She nods. “I can fly.”

Lily thinks about letting go of the swing at the very height of the arc and, instead of falling, flowing into the air, soaring like a fairy.

“Do you want to hear a secret, James?” She asks, just as secretive as him. “So can I.”

This Leo Vs Witchtown short I’ve been working on! Post Shredder Leo arc, and how I think the Donnie vs Witchtown episode would happen in the EW verse, since Leo is actually the one that hates magic! This took so long because I’ve not had too much time, but I really wanted to do something fluffy.

Also, sorry for the inactivity lately. My first art market has gone from one, to two, to hopefully figuring out how to turn this once a month thing, into a consistent second source of income! But this does mean almost no time for drawing turtles lately. I don’t want to mark any of my smaller series as abandoned, but updates for anything not EW or Feral Leo related will probably be less of a priority (unless I can knock something out quickly). Even finding the time for those has been slow going. But nothing is abandoned as of yet! Promise! 😜💚

#2 - Fossil, for April AU @jilymicrofics

Theme: Jurassic Park AU (or the one AU nobody ever asked for, but how could I resist?)

James had never put much faith into his father’s work — or obsession, as his mother would call — but he could admire the structure he had built on that remote island, the visitor’s centre, the resort. It would be splendid — as long as no accident happened, and with the things his father was breeding, James knew that they couldn’t take any risks.

Which was why he had been called; risk management was his specialty, even though, of course, he had never dealt with that.  No one had. Dinosaurs—or something close to it.

That was an old discussion, though, one that he wouldn’t entertain now; he had come to analyse the enclosures and to define how to better guarantee the animals would never get out of their space—they were already out of their time by millions of years…

But he shook his head and tried to focus on the blueprints, thinking out loud. “If we could reduce the enclosure for those sauropods—”

“You wouldn’t want to do that,” said a female voice; James lifted his head to find a woman looking at him, probably one of the scientists for the white cloak she wore. With her red hair combed in a loose bun, pink lips, and smart green eyes, she was easily the prettiest woman he had ever seen. His heart skipped a beat, not helping when she got near, pointing to the line in the blueprint. “The sauropods need a large space, they—”

“They can reach up to 130 feet,” he finished for her. You couldn’t be the son of Fleamont Potter without knowing something about dinosaurs.

But she just raised her eyebrows. “That too, but actually the problem is their behaviour. Sauropods tend to form social groups and they do not engage well with outsiders.”

“Oh, I didn’t know that.”

“Yeah, neither did we until we saw their interactions.” She smiled, eyes shining. “Have you seen them already?”

“The dinosaurs? Yes. In the museum. As fossils.” He bit his lips. “I don’t actually believe they should have been breed.” The ethical discussion about genetics was the only thing his father and he ever disagreed upon. “It’s not real.”

“They seem real enough,” she assured him. “They breathe and they eat and they are very much solid. It’s just science.” She stole a glance at his security badge. “Something that I hoped Mr. Potter would know.”

He shrugged. “Mr. Potter is my dad. I’m James.”

She offered her hand. “Lily Evans.”

“Evans? Doctor Evans? As in—”

“The lead geneticist of the Jurassic Park program, yeah.”

“I thought you would be older, like Doctor McGonagall.”

Doctor Evans laughed. “No, Doctor McGonagall was my professor at the university. She warned me that your father’s idea was absurd—and yet—”

“And yet you are playing with fabricated genetic creatures now.”

“I usually call them dinosaurs,” Evans said. She grabbed a keychain inside her coat. “My jeep is parked outside, let’s go for a ride. You need to meet them to understand how to better protect them.”

“I thought we were protecting the visitors.”

“You’ll understand,” she said, cryptically. “You never forget the magic of seeing your first brontosaurus walking down the ground.”

April's here to wish your contestant luck!

(She's still wary though, don't expect a hug{or a handshake for that matter-})

“Thank you, you as well”

Donnie doesn’t often feel up to speaking, especially not with strangers. He wishes you luck in the tournament however.
