Moonstruck - Feb. 12th - word count: 227 - @wolfstarmicrofic

Sirius’s jaw dropped as Remus walked into the room.

“What are you looking at?” he asked self-consciously, messing with his immaculately-tailored suit. “Do I look weird?” 

Sirius was thanking his past self profusely for taking Remus to Twilfitt and Tattings for a fitting. He was gorgeous, and the fact that the suit was custom-made to bring out all of Remus’s best features also made Sirius’s breath stutter.

“No,” Sirius said finally, snapping his mouth shut. “You… I- uhm, one second.” He scrubbed a hand over his face and rubbed his eyes, hoping that the image in front of him wasn’t just a hallucination.

Nope. It definitely wasn’t.

“Are you alright now, Padfoot?” Remus asked, walking up to him. “What’s wrong?”

“Sorry, you’re just so beautiful that I was speechless,” Sirius said, watching as the tips of his boyfriend’s ears turned red. He enjoyed the sight of a flustered Remus very much.

“Padfoot,” he warned, evidently knowing what was about to come out of his mouth. “Don’t-”

“You might even say…” Sirius’s grin widened. “I was moonstruck.”

Remus groaned. “No, no, shut up.”

“Never,” Sirius said.

“Fine. We still have to go to James and Lily’s wedding though, Pads-”

“Yeah, yeah, let’s go comfort Prongs. Ten galleons says that he’s already panicking.”

“Sirius,” Remus said slowly. “I’m not taking that bet. You know how he gets about Lily.”

"What's your favorite marauders trope" but it's Peter looking at Evan, while Evan is looking at Barty, while Barty is looking at Regulus, while Regulus is looking at James, while James is looking at Lily, while Lily is looking at Pandora, while Pandora is looking at Dorcas, while Dorcas is looking at Marlene, while Marlene is looking at Mary, and Mary is Asexual.

[talesofmoony]

His Wand

Another @jilymicrofics | WC: 550 | March 2025 prompt: Impossible. Sort of part 2 to A Cursed Blessing

During the early years of the war, Lily had found that her wand worked much better than any she borrowed or picked up or for some reason found herself using. This had included James' wand.  Mahogany. Eleven inches. James had often spoken of its powers. 

'It doesn't seem to like me very much,' Lily had used to complain. 

There seemed to be something about every wand Lily had tried that had been about the connection, or lack thereof, between her and the magical object. It wasn't that she needed her own wand. She was perfectly capable of putting most to good use. Yet, there was a noticeable difference in the magic she was able to perform when using one or another. 

Lily hadn't been joking. If there was one wand that worked especially poorly for her, it had been James' wand. It seemed to have taken a strong dislike to her.

Which is why, standing on the doorstep of her own house, with James' wand clutched in her shaking hand, and Harry pressed up against her chest, she is praying it won't cause any trouble. She needs to apparate away. Now. 

Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't have been worried. But this is anything but. Her brain feels numb, her body hardly her own. As for the world, it seems dangerously close to tilting on its head.

Lily needs to focus on her destination, yet her eyes keep falling on the front door, blasted open a few minutes earlier. In less than five minutes, she has lost almost everything. 

James lies just outside her view, but in her mind she can see him clearly too. Does the wand know that it's former owner is dead? Would it make a difference? 

Her breathing comes out in great, big, silent sobs. Harry tries to break free from her arms. He is easily bored, just like... just like his father. 

Closing her eyes, she pictures the front steps of Sirius' flat. It's the only place she can remember. She does not dare apparate to an unknown destination. They just need to get away successfully. Everything else they can worry about later.

Somehow she gets them there. Somehow the wand cooperates. Somehow she manages to sit tight under the cloak until Sirius returns to his flat. White faced, shaking, crying. Angry. Lost. Murderous. 

It takes Sirius a day before he recognised the wand in her hand. There is a great big crashing sound as the mug he is holding hits the floor. Or maybe the sound isn't as loud as it seems to Lily, whose heart seems to stop for a second, and Harry, who starts to cry. Sirius apologises quietly, waves his own wand, vanishing the mess, and hurries out of the kitchen. Harry is already asleep before he emerges from his bedroom. 

Maybe she should have gone back for her own wand, but she can't let go of this final piece of James. The wand doesn't seem to be able to let her go either. It's finally behaving, and while Lily knows deep down she's being silly, she tells herself it's James' work. That he is still helping them. 

It is naive, foolish, stupid. She knows it to be impossible. James is gone. After all, that is why she is clutching his wand.

lily: i’m bisexual

anyone: how is that possible? you’ve only dated james?

lily: that doesn’t mean i’m not bisexual.

remus: yeah it means she’s stupid

[knighthans]

Marlene always have the stupidest ideas and James always think they’re the best ones and wants to join

That’s how they ended up proposing to Dorcas and Lily by making a whole choreography that involved tearing their shirt off at the end of the show, revealing a huge tattoo of their girlfriend’s faces on their chest with the words “Will you marry me?” under it. (Dorcas and Lily made them remove it)

[itsriotmotherfuckers]

James: Are we still bros?

Sirius, balls deep: Of course, bro.

James, tearing up: Bro…

Remus, under James: …are we all just bros to you?

Lily, watching them: Sorry, fucking what?

james potter is a bastard man but an excellent boyfriend

[regulus-cannot-swim]

It's cannon to me that Remus, Lily, and Regulus became a study group in 2nd or 3rd year

Sirius and James also suddenly started going to the library around that time. Both of them claim it's so that they can actually study, but it's no one's business but their own if they spend more time eyeing their respective crushes than actually getting any studying done

First Divorce - Jan. 15th - word count: 298 - @wolfstarmicrofic

Sirius groaned as sunlight streamed through the window. 

He knew he shouldn’t have gone out. His head was killing him and his mouth was so incredibly dry, and he literally remembered none of the previous night.

He turned to face the floor, catching sight of James sprawled across the carpet.

“Mornin’, Prongs,” Sirius croaked.

“Don’t talk, mate,” James muttered. “Hurts.”

Sirius nodded, and then immediately regretted that decision when his world started spinning. When he finally stopped feeling nauseated, he took a good look around the room.

There was nothing out of the ordinary- except for the marriage certificate on the table.

What. The. Fuck.

Sirius picked up the certificate, noting both his and James’s signatures. 

“James Fleamont Potter,” he screeched, ignoring his pounding headache in favor of being dramatic. “We’re married?”

James frowned, opening his eyes. “Fuck, the light,” he hissed. “Ow, that hurts.”

“We got married?” Sirius asked again. 

“That’s what it says, no?” James answered.

“But we can’t be married!” Sirius yelped. “I want my beautiful Moony and I can’t have him if we’re married! And you have Lily!”

“Yeah, yeah, okay,” James grunted, attempting to sit up. “Let’s get divorced, then.”

Just then, Remus walked into the room. “Hello, Sleeping Beauty,” he grinned. “I see you’ve found the papers.”

Sirius looked at his boyfriend incredulously. “You knew?” he asked, feigning betrayal. “Moons, Moony, my love, why didn’t you stop us?”

“It was funny,” Remus shrugged. “Here’s some water and crackers.”

“Oh, Moony, my lord and savior.” Sirius said, making grabby hands. “What did I do to deserve you?”

“Good question. Now, James,” Remus said, turning and prodding his friend gently. “Get up and share the crackers with Padfoot. Peter and Lily are coming.”

“Mfffgh.” James rolled over so that he was facedown. “Go away.”

[souryam]

there's like virtually nothing you can say to me or quotes u can throw in my face to convince me that 20 year old Lily was fine and ok with her husband (a.k.a basically the only person she has around) sneaking out at night to. what. annoy muggle police officers? So many people say "oh no she was talking fondly" and I never got it bc I've always read it as her coming across as annoyed. annoyed but trying to tone it down giving that it was a letter to Sirius. Like imagine you're 20 year old with a newly born baby having to live in almost complete isolation in the middle of a war and a half of the parental unit just decides to dip every Wednesday for #boysnight like what

Wilted Flowers ~ 451 words

James Potter should’ve died on a Saturday. Thrown across his cottage, slumped against a wall, his glasses cracked and askew on his face. He’d left his wand on the couch. It had been Peter at the door, so he figured he wouldn't need it. Who expects their childhood best friend to betray them?

He was okay with dying, and he had been for a while now. James would miss his friends, playing quidditch in the backyard with Sirius, cooking with Lily while Remus read to Harry…

Harry, oh his sweet little boy. James knew even when he died his son would be okay. He’d have his mother and his godparents, he would be safe.

James Potter was okay dying.

They say when you die the happiest seven minutes of your life replay in your mind. James closed his eyes, ready to accept that his time was up, but nothing happened.

No memories of pulling pranks as kids. No cheering crowds when he and Marlene won the quidditch cup in 5th year. No echoes of a room filled with laughter when he stumbled over Lily, dancing with her at the Yule Ball in 7th year. No late nights in the astronomy tower lying under the stars with the boy who loved him like the sun.

He heard a scream from upstairs and a flash of green light illuminated the house. Oh no, no no no no no. Not Lily, beautiful, smart, strong Lily. Harry’s mother, his best friend.

James didn't know how to live in a world without Lily Evans.

In their sixth year, they had started to grow closer, finding comfort in each other's company. They’d found trust in each other. Lily was the first person he came out to. She was the only one who knew about his relationship with Regulus. He and Lily were walking around the grounds when she told him about Mary. It was nice to know someone else understood how he felt.

When Regulus died, James had to hide his grief. No one else understood why he’d been distant and why his eyes were always red, but Lily did. The only place James could mourn was with her. When Mary left the war, ran away and married a muggle man, James had been the one to hold her. They’d found comfort in each other’s grief.

Everyone expected them to get together, he and Lily laughed along with the jokes but always denied when their friends asked. In some other world maybe James hadn't fallen in love with Regulus first, maybe Lily and Mary stayed friends. But James wouldn't change it, he and Lily had made their own little family and he wouldn't trade that for anything…

[ezkel]

do you ever think about the fact that Peters betrayal would have been one of James' last thoughts of his life. His first friend who he trusted enough to make the secret keeper that'll protect him, his wife and their son. He trusted Peter enough that he didn't feel the need to bring his wand with him when he went to answer the door. Afteral there was no need to worry, it was just Peter.

Do you think he knew that Peter betrayed them or do you think he assumed Peter was tortured into giving up the information. because surely his oldest friend wouldn't be the spy within the order. it's Peter, Peter would never do such a thing.

Peter would never intentionally get James, Lily and Harry killed. But James Potter was canonically smart enough to become an animagus at 15/16, while his life was flashing before his eyes do you think he figured out that Peter was the spy, Peter is the reason Voldemort was killing him, his wife, and their son.

Voldemort may have been the one that used the killing curse but Peter's betrayal killed him before the spell did.
