Between the Desire and the Spasm

A second-chance-romance Jily fic by @uncertainwallflower

Trains are arguably the centre of everything. The sinew of civilisation for muggles and wizards alike. They are where all walks of life converge. Congregate. In synchronised traversal. Shared agony inflicted by the piercing screech of metal on metal, bonding all patrons aboard a carriage. And outside. A passing glimpse of someone you thought you’d never see again. Trains. They change everything.

Undercurrent

A Hogwarts-angst Jily fic by @howluckydoyouhavetobe

It’s Sirius’s 17th birthday, and his only wish is for the Gryffindor Chaser to kiss the Gryffindor redhead. // Lily goes out someone who's not James, and James is seething. Lily seems to care more about if James noticed than about her actual date. Remus is caught in between it all. // Takes place from October 31st, 1976 - November 6th, 1976.

Encounters of the Future Sort

A time travel Jily, Wolfstar and Hinny fic by @calmlyerratic

AU & headcanon-oriented time travel. A freak cauldron explosion leads the Marauders, Lily, and Sev hurtling forward into the future where they come into contact with Harry and friends during their 5th Year at Hogwarts. Alternating POV's. Anything is possible. Lots of silly shenanigans, but also an emotional rollercoaster. ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ Harry held his breath. The following fraction of a moment felt like a heartbeat split with an eternity—unstable enough to simultaneously rattle and soothe the collective consciousness. A boy of Harry's height and frame stepped through the portrait hole. He had round spectacles, a long nose, and dark hair that stuck up in all directions. "Wow!" Fred and George exclaimed in unison, looking between Harry and James. "You're identical!"

These Dorms Were Once A Madhouse

Book I of We Will Be Remembered by writteninthewolfstar

My (long) fluffy, silly, emotional, intense, heart-wrenching take on the Marauders seven years at Hogwarts. (Year 1 alternates Remus and Lily POV and following that we alternate between several main characters.) (UPDATES EVERY SUNDAY AND WEDNESDAY!) (also fuck JKR)

To Live Without a Heart

A James-without-Lily fic by @uncertainwallflower

James wasn’t home that night. It was the one decent thing Peter did, and James hated him for it.

The Hawthorn Blowëth Sweetest

A medieval Jily fic by @uncertainwallflower

James, son to duty and fairness, is revered as the Young Lord of wintry Caledonia. Lilibet, daughter to curiosity and kindness, driven to silence and submissiveness by her vindictive stepmother and selfish stepsister, is desperate to gain freedom in whatever form it takes. Brought together by cruel intent and manipulated honour, the two grow to love each other despite their reservations and all that spit at their blessing.

@demonkidpliz - my first mutual! a reminder that you are very loved and your writing is valued. don’t let anyone pressure you into not enjoying your own passion. Rukmini-Krishna is one of the most underrated and beautiful pairings, my otp<333

@groovycynicalcheesecake - my first friend here! I think we started talking because I made a dumbass birthday post and you were the first one to wish! Somehow u always manage to surprise me with just how kind and caring you are. You absolute sweetheart. Wishing you all the happiness you give to others.

@adathinks - I love and try to read almost every post of yours. Always genuine, open, thoughtful and ofc Taylor Swift!!! Stay the way you are, love.

@friend-shaped-but - dude thanks for messaging me first. Saw your blog and thought, ‘wow. definitely one of the coolest people in the hindublr/desiblr community’ and just. liked and reblogged everything. I didn’t know much about the Parshatas but I’m a little too invested now. It’s hard to find people that are chill about new interpretations of our mythology, and I’m glad to know you.

@magica124 - my darling!! adore your blog - soo relatable esp the Krishna madness :)). we should talk but I keep forgetting to message. Bitter gourd hate supremacy!

@aprameya-mahima - another one of the nicest people on this platform. Fellow Slytherin and bookworm <33 You’re literal proof our house is a good one.

@zeherili-ankhein - love your interactions with people. a comrade in the 11th grade vs me war. your art is seriously amazing. hoping life gets better<3 would love to talk more.

@kanha-ki-fangirl - Tumblr angel and fellow nerd extraordinaire. Saw your intro and knew we’re pretty much soulmates. Oscar Wilde would love you.

@syamakrishna - I know you much less than I would like to. You come across as a really sweet, kind and pure person. Krishna is life! Rlly love your blog. @lesbianpoetess - another cool mutual I snagged by being gay and autistic, probably. My very own tumblr chaos girlie<333

@piyatosenainanalaagere - your blog is WOW. very pretty username.

@stxrrynights - love you, love the theme, love your thoughts, love the incorrect quotes.

@sharngapani - don’t remember if we’re mutuals but just wanted to tell you that you’re very cool. Thanks for being supportive about my writing though I’m either too busy or too scared to post anything meaningful.

@riocasm - aiyyo I forgot you in the original post da! Another mutual too cool for me.
