Had the supreme pleasure of receiving this absolute gem from an artist whose work I adore, so I thought I would share. Everything about this, I can't stop obsessing over. The wands, the invisibility cloak, the animagi—gah! Thanks for bringing to life my fairytale James Potter/Lily Evans vision!💖❤️‍🔥✨

WHEWWWW

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES POTTER YOU ARE SO LOVED BY ME

[juniperpyre]

i don't actually think lily would keep her last name or james would use evans, i don't even think they'd do evans-potter or potter-evans, bc to me a big part of lily's character is losing the connection to her family and feeling abandoned and lost. i think adopting james' last name and entering his family as a way for them to make their own makes more sense, since i imagine his parents as loving to him and lily, and probably representing an ideal to the both of them. they'd use potter bc they want to emulate the previous mr and mrs potter.

she could reclaim evans i suppose, and i think she has a good relationship with her dad, but going against the grain and asking james to end his family name (which at the end of the day i think he'd still care about) so she can do this work to feel like she's remaking something good out of something so bittersweet... i think a reset would be preferred

“Lily Potter”

Do not disrespect my queen like that. Lily Evans is an independent woman and an icon and she has her own last name.

This is the bi-sexual dream right here

Thanks angel!

cw: brief mention of blood

poly!Jily x fem!reader ♡ 837 words

You’re all three bundled in your coats as you walk home, the nights still cold despite the warming days and the fair bit of alcohol in each of you. James is teasing Lily for her decision to wear a skirt in between offerings of his coat. 

“Mine works just as well as yours,” she insists, shivering. 

“No, but mine’s longer is the point. You’ve got those poor lovely legs completely exposed to the elements.” 

Lily gives him a wry (loving) look. Her legs are somewhat shorter than James’, but somehow she manages to walk so doggedly you’re both hurrying to keep up. “You really want me to stop so we can switch coats. That’s what you think I should do.” 

“I’d never tell you what to do,” James says automatically. You grin; your boyfriend is a smart man. “I’m only saying that while you look beautiful, you also look cold, and perhaps my longer coat could help with that.” 

“We’re almost home,” you point out. Your partners have managed to bicker entertainingly most of the way back from Marlene’s party. You’re within a couple blocks of your flat now. 

It’s a relief. The evening has been fun, but you don’t know a one of James’ friends that doesn’t make big to-do out of their birthday; between the getting dressed up, the dinner, and then the party itself at Marlene’s place, you’re very eager to get back to your own home, where your face wash and lip balm and your very warm comforter live. 

James takes you in. Your quick strides, head lowered against the wind, both arms crossed over your (unfortunately rather thin) coat. You and Lily have been luckless companions in your underestimation of the weather. 

“You look cold,” observes James. 

“I bet you say that to all your girlfriends.” 

He laughs. “Here, angel, take my coat.” 

“I don’t want your coat.” You swerve out of his reach, though he’s already taking it off. “Really, James, we’re nearly there.” 

“Yours is awful!”

“Why do you want to be rid of your coat so badly?” Lily asks, fishing out the key to your flat as you near the steps. 

“I’m trying to be chivalrous! Why will nobody have my coat?” 

“Chauvinist,” you quip. 

“All I’m offering is a decent coat, and of course I get cruelty in return.” 

“You think your coat must be so much better than either of ours, hm?” 

“It is! Yours is too short and yours is too thin.” Lily smiles as she unlocks the door, clearly enjoying watching you rile James. He throws up his hands. “I won’t be gaslit.” 

“You really think it’s your coat, or is it just that your oh-so-superior man body is keeping you warm?” 

James pushes you through the door to your flat as soon as it’s open, playfully rough. It’s unusual enough to startle a giggle out of you as you back away from him. “I’ll show you what my man body is good for,” he promises. 

You nearly trip over your own feet, laughing while James backs you down the hall until your thighs hit the edge of your bed. You hear Lily bolt the door. Her footsteps follow at an easier pace, but James is already ravaging you. 

“It’s not—chivalrous—” you manage between kisses, “if you’re only offering to—to—” 

“No, go on, finish.” James links his fingers through yours, kissing repeatedly at your top lip as you fight to contain your smile. “I wanna hear your thoughts on how sexist I am for—oh. Ouch.” 

For a moment you think you’ve hurt him somehow. You let your head fall back against the mattress, looking him over worriedly. It doesn’t occur to you that the ouch was in sympathy. 

“Sorry, lovie.” James sets his thumb to your lower lip. You recall why you’d been so desperate for chapstick a few minutes ago.  

“What did you do?” asks Lily, half weary and half fond. She’s well accustomed to the outcomes of you and James’ play fights. When she leans around him to see, her pretty features pull into a frown. “Oh,” she coos. 

It’s altogether too much concern for a split lip. “It’s fine.” You touch the origin of the sting, finding only a bit of blood on your fingertip. “Don’t be sorry.”

“This is what happens when I make you smile too hard,” James says mournfully. 

It makes you smile again. Both your partners tut at you for it. 

“Let’s keep the damage to a minimum,” Lily chides him, though she’s smiling too. She cups your cheek as you sit up, inspecting your lip. “It’s sort of hard to tell with your lipstick,” she says. “You look so lovely, sweetheart, but maybe it’s time to switch it out for some lip balm?” 

“Yeah,” you agree. Lily follows you into the bathroom. 

“Oh, is it time for the face washes?” James asks eagerly, getting up too.

“You’re not allowed to help anymore,” Lily reminds him. “You waste too much product.” 

“I know, just let me watch, yeah?”

The Letter

for @jilymicrofics prompt: the word count: 164

James stepped back into bed, holding a letter he hadn’t even bothered to open and yet he was smiling like a fool.

“James?”

He waved with the envelope. “It’s the first time we’ve been referred to as the Potters.” He showed her. “The Potters.”

Lily took the envelope from him and looked at the sombre design with the thin dark stripe lining the edges. Another death. At least if they received this letter before a personal letter to announce the death, it wouldn’t be someone they knew closely. Hopefully.

James—still oblivious—flopped down on the bed beside her. “I don’t care what people say about us being too young to marry. I’ve literally never felt so sure about anything.” His mouth snapped shut when he caught her expression. “What is it?”

“It’s a funeral notice, James.” She opened the envelope, discarding it beside her and unfolded the letter with a heavy heart.

“Who is it?” he asked.

Lily breathed out. “The Prewett brothers.”

[remusinanotheruniverse]

Thinking about completely genderbent marauders era and its thrown me for a loop because how differently would we see the characters??????

Female Sirius Black is no longer the handsome runaway playboy, but the irresponsible whore.

Female James Potter no longer has a foolish, but darling love for Lily Evans, but is no a delusional teenage girl who needs to back off.

Female Peter Pettigrew is no longer the shy, but funny friend of the two, but fat ugly girl that no one knows.

Female Remus Lupin's scars no longer make him devishly handsome, but ugly and disgusting and "Keep Away!"

Its just crazy to me.

drabble for @hoziermicrofics april day twelve prompt: precious

100 words, james pov, rated G, @jilymicrofics

Lily stirred at Harry’s cries. 

“Shush, love, mama’s sleeping,” James whispered, bouncing Harry how Lily did. 

Harry gurgled. James rested Harry on his shoulder and rubbed Lily’s back, soothing her to sleep. Her breaths seemed lighter. Another change had come upon her, months of rest passed, calm and joy and freeness, love for their child unburdening her.  

James hummed a lullaby; Lily and Harry mellowed deeper into sleep. A memory floated up, the same room, the same tune, James small in his mother’s arms. He settled on the bed, in the curl of Lily’s legs, everything precious under his touch.

Some art I forgot to post before!

[insomniacirl]

Sirius + Remus

Evan + Barty

James + Regulus

Marlene + Mary

Lily + Peter

[mushroom-enby]

I don't think we have enough Mary & Remus tbh

Like particularly after Lily and James die, and Sirius goes to Azkaban, and Peter is pronounced dead. Marlene and Dorcas dead in the same year as James & Lily

Like I've seen "Mary and Remus end up kidnapping Harry from the Dursleys" once

But like. Just think of a couple months previous Mary obliviating herself where it's just them getting drunk on Remus' flat. They're sad, they're alone, they're together. They lost the people they love, they lost their friends (you can even add Complicated Feelings™ with wolfstar and marylily)

Think of it being depressed together. Rotting in bed together for days at a time without doing anything but getting black-out drunk. Think of them sharing a mattress on the floor without either of them having showered in days. They both smell like alcohol and like fucking moss because Remus' flat sucks and they haven't gotten up to even open the windows.

I honestly think of it pretty platonically but like. They also kinda have sex sometimes, maybe. When one of them finally decides to get up, they may shower together. Mary doesn't have the energy to do her hair, so Remus does. Sirius or James aren't here, so Mary applies ointment on Remus' pained back.

They're just depressed together & taking care of each other as much as they can. But also dragging each other down. ("Are you getting up?" "I don't think I can" "Ok we can stay in bed" and end up staying in bed for three days straight)

Then Remus goes on a mission on the full moon and Mary obliviates herself. Remus can't.

& then he's alone
