Wizards Hearts Recs: Modern AU/Non-Magical

Wizards Hearts was a four-month-long Drarry reading fest. Players were given a playing deck of 52 tropes, and were asked to find 52 different fics to read and comment on to fill their decks. To prevent the same few fics from being read, fics were restricted to only being used for the game three times before being considered ineligible for further points. The tropes and submissions list can be found here.

Check out the masterlist of fics for this trope below the cut!

Enter Sirius Pet Care, an app designed to solve this very problem! When Draco books Harry, he’s relieved at how quickly the man and his dog bond. He’s less relieved by how unexpectedly, distractingly attractive Harry turns out to be… and how Draco’s afternoon meetings keep being “mysteriously” cancelled, meaning that he JUST HAPPENS to be home when Harry comes by.

Runaway Groom - Chapter 5 (Consider It Done, You Wanton Sex Goddess)

Read it here on AO3!

Here’s Part 4 (Chapter 4 - Like I Would Grace Your Brothel With My Presence), Part 3 (Chapter 3 - Speaking of Bastards), Part 2 (Chapter 2 - Listening To Pink Floyd Alone) and Part 1 (Chapter 1 - And I Just Want A Million Pounds)!

"I can't believe you're moving out, Pete." James said with an amused smile and an arm wrapped around Lily's shoulders. They were all helping out in Remus and Peter's flat, helping Peter pack his stuff. He had only announced to them about an hour ago that he was moving and had apparently already found a new flat. thankfully, it was literally across the street. His flat would be visible from James and Lily's front room. "Well, you know... with Remus about to have a kid... I want him to be able to have as much room as possible." Peter explained as he got sheets, blankets and towels from their airing cupboard, folding them neatly in a box. "The baby will only be with me for half the week. I'll have him for Friday, Saturday and Sunday and then Fleur and Tonks will have him for the rest of the week." Remus explained for what seemed like the billionth time. "Besides, if anyone should be moving, it should be me. I'm the one that's changing things." "No, this was your flat to begin with. I'll be fine. This is what's best for everyone." Peter said, sending Remus a gentle smile. But Sirius wasn't having any of it. "Cut the shit, Pete. You hate kids and we all know it." He scoffed, although there was no bite behind his words and he was smirking fondly at the shorter man. "Alright, fine. Look, I love you, Remus. Really, I do. But I cannot handle that." He sighed, which only caused Remus to chuckle more.

"I understand, mate. Don't worry about it." He comforted, placing a hand on his shoulder. Peter grinned sheepishly back and patted Remus' hand before they all resumed their packing.

"When do you get the keys to your new place?" James questioned, writing "KITCHEN SHIT" on a box in sharpie. It was a small box and mainly contained a bunch of novelty mugs and fridge magnets.

"Well, the landlord's just repainting everything and he said that he should be done by Friday, maybe a bit sooner." Peter explained with a shrug. "You guys better not shut me out when I move out." Peter warned, "Why would we shut you out, Petey?" Lily asked with a frown, able to see that this was actually a concern for Peter. "Well, James won't get cut out, he's the glue that holds us all together. It won't be Lily, she and James are together. It won't be Sirius, he went to school with you two and lives with you and it won't be Remus because he lives across the hall. I'm left right out." Peter huffed with a laugh, although they could all see that it was forced. "Okay, that is ridiculous. If anyone's going to be shut out, it's James. Everyone knows that Lily and I are soulmates. We've just got to wait for James to die under suspicious circumstances, leaving all of his money to Lily and then Lily and I will run off into the sunset leaving the both of you behind. If anything, James is the problem." It was ridiculous but had the desired effect of making Peter laugh. "You won't be cut out, Pete." Remus comforted, knowing that whilst it was great to make him laugh, it was only a temporary fix and he would need the reassurance that he was important to them. "We all need each other. It wouldn't be the same without one of us. Apart from James." Remus teased, grinning at James, who had been pouting.

"Right, if we're done hating on James..." James began, voice daring anyone to make another dig at him. There was no real bite behind it though. "Why don't we take a break? I can whip us up some lunch." He offered.

"You're such a mother hen." Sirius scoffed, although he stood up from where he had been lounging on the sofa. He had been at the bar until 4am the night before and was exhausted but had insisted on helping. He had packed half of a box and then given up and laid down on the sofa, occasionally taking part in conversation.

"So Sirius doesn't want any food, does anyone else?" James questioned, laughing as Sirius threw a cushion at him. "Stop it, you two!" Lily yelled sternly before a pillow war could break out. "Yes, mother." Sirius scoffed, although he did as he was told. A smile came to his lips as Remus stood and reached a hand out to him. Sirius took it and allowed himself to be pulled up, giving Remus' hand a squeeze to say thank you.

The five of them then headed over to James, Lily and Sirius’ flat for some lunch and a short break.

---

“I can’t believe he’s really gone.” Remus sighed, not turning around from he was sat on the sofa. It was this ugly worn out yellow sofa with turquoise pillows on it that he and Peter had gotten when they had first moved in together. They had both been short of money and someone a few streets away had advertised it as free so they had gotten it. They had another sofa now and an armchair but they hadn’t had it in them to throw the old one away. “It just… I feel guilty, you know? I should’ve been the one to go.” He didn’t need to turn around to know that Sirius was there.

The other lad took a seat next to him, sitting much closer than was usual for two friends. “Don’t be like that. He wouldn’t have moved if he didn’t want to. But hey, you can do what you want now! You could get a dog or turn Pete’s room into whatever you want until the baby’s here. Maybe a guest room… Or a game room.” Sirius suggested, hoping to cheer him up.

It didn’t work.

“Hey, come on, let’s not dwell on it. Peter will be over later. We’re all going out for drinks, remember?” Sirius attempted to try and cheer him up again. “Come on, let’s put a film on.” He prompted, pulling his phone from his pocket and connecting it to the television, getting Netflix up. “Why don’t we watch Bridget Jones?” Sirius suggested, knowing that it was Remus’ favourite film. He frowned when Remus only shrugged.

Not willing to admit defeat yet, Sirius put them film on and cuddled up into Remus’ side, draping a blanket over them. Remus usually would have cuddled Sirius back, wrapping an arm around him and getting more comfortable, he stayed completely still. Tense. Lost in thought.

“That’s going to be me soon, isn’t it?” Remus sighed, a while later. He still hadn’t relaxed but had been watching the film. Sirius frowned and looked up at him, silently questioning what he meant.

“That. I’m going to be old single and surrounded by smug married couples. In a job that’s boring, my life falling apart. Except I’ll have a kid that I hardly get to see.” He sighed. Sirius wasn’t entirely sure where this was coming from. He guessed that Remus was just feeling lonely and sorry for himself now that Peter was gone. Sirius sat up properly, wanting to give this conversation his full attention.

“Remus, you know that that isn’t the case at all.” Sirius began but Remus soon cut him off.

“It is though! James and Lily are going to get engaged soon, guaranteed! And you know that soon Pete’s gonna find a girl and settle down. He can do a lot more now that he isn’t here. And then you’ll find someone so it will just be me…”

“Remus-” Sirius began but was cut off again by Remus standing up abruptly, walking towards his bedroom before Sirius could do anything.

“Look, I think I’m gonna go and just… I don’t know… Lie down or… Or get some marking and planning done. I… Feel free to finish watching the film. Tell the others that I won’t be going for drinks tonight.” The bedroom door was shut and locked before Sirius could say anymore. Sirius stood up with a deep frown on his face but a box on the floor caught his eye.

Still frowning, Sirius approached it, wondering what Peter had left behind. But he didn’t even bother to check it when the first thing he pulled out was a bundle of blue string. His eyes lit up and he placed it on the counter and pulled out his phone, beginning to text Lily.

Lils! I need your help. Urgent! Are you still stopping at asda on your way home?

In asda now, why? What have you and James done now?

Nothing! I’m not even with James! Can you grab some stuff for me whilst you’re there? It’s to cheer Remus up.

Depends on what it is… I don’t think I want to know…

Get your head out of the damn gutter, Evans. Look, all I need are leeks, veal stock, potatoes, garlic and marmalade.

Are you trying to kill Remus? What the fuck are you even trying to make?

Omg

I just realised

I don’t know what’s sadder - the fact that you’re making that for Remus or the fact that I can guess what you’re making

Consider it done, you wanton sex goddess.

I hate you

Thanks, Lils

Don’t mention it

---

Almost three hours later, Sirius knocked on Remus’ door. “Remus? Can you come out here?”

“You’re still here?!”

Sirius couldn’t help chuckling at Remus answer, although he was surprised that Remus hadn’t heard him crashing around in the kitchen. As he suspected, Remus’ curiosity got the better of him and he soon left his room, still frowning.

“Sirius, I’m sorry but I’m really not in the mood. Just go out without me.” Remus said, sounding genuinely apologetic and guilty but Sirius merely grinned at him.

“That’s alright, the others left about twenty minutes ago. But I have been busy.” Sirius announced dramatically, taking Remus’ hand and pulling him out of his bedroom entirely and into the kitchen, ignoring his protests.

“Really, I was in the middle of-” He was saying but froze as he noticed the meal that had been laid out on the table. “Christ, is that blue soup?” He breathed, causing Sirius’ grin to widen. He was practically bouncing on the spot.

“Yep. Blue soup to start, omelette for a main and then marmalade for dessert.”

“Sirius, this is... “

“Delicious? I know, Now come on, eat.” Sirius encouraged, pulling Remus’ chair out for him and then pushing him in as he sat. Remus laughed but did as he was told and found that the soup actually wasn’t bad.

“Sirius?” Sirius hummed as he ate his blue soup to show that he was listening. “Why did you do all of this?”

“Well, you know me. I’m a terrible disaster with a posh voice and a bad character.” Sirius quoted, winking at Remus before he went back to his food but Remus wasn’t having any of it and he stood, moving to kneel beside Sirius. “I need you, Remus. You’re the only one that can save me.” He continued to quote, now turning his attention to Remus, putting his spoon down. “I… Remus…”

Remus cut him off yet again. Under any other circumstances, Sirius would have protested and made a whole show and dance of it, telling Remus to stop. It really was rude. But how could he possibly do anything when Remus’ lips were finally pressed against his?

He kissed back eagerly but couldn’t find it in himself to be embarrassed, turning in his chair to thread his fingers through Remus’ hair.

[To anyone that hasn’t seen Bridget Jones and doesn’t get those references, I’m sorry. Well, sorry for you. You should go and watch it. Like right now. Watch it and you won’t regret it! But yay, they finally kissed! I very nearly just gave up on this and just did like one more chapter and left it at that but my wonderful wonderful friend @holy-shit-its-wolfstar convinced me otherwise so here is another chapter. I have a few more things planned for this fic but if people aren’t interested in it and aren’t reading and commenting and stuff then I may not continue it. So if you are enjoying it and want to see more, please reblog and like and stuff because it’s super discouraging when you post a new chapter or fic and no one interacts/cares! This has not been checked as usual so please, if you see any mistakes, please nicely let me know about them! Requests are still open on my tumblr!

beauty is truth and terror

Summary: soulmate au where your tattoo gains life and color once you fall in love with your soulmate

Pairing: Jily

Words: 1,757

There’s a lily blooming in front of his heart and he spends his life before her wondering what color it should be – white for purity? Scarlet for sin and sacrifice? Orange for desire and passion? He guesses it is all of them – after all, we are made up of multitudes.

There are two antlers patterned on her rib cage and in her dreams they grow tall and strong enough to pierce the whole sky. She wonders if she can grow to be like these prongs, big enough to fill up a whole expanse of constellations.

At the beginning of this story, James Potter is all knee scabs and messy hair and precocious chatter. Lily Evans is all butterfly hairclips and full smiles and relentless strings of questions.

He spends most of science class annoyed at the distractions of her dark red hair, the marks of paint on her arms, the green-eyed glare she sends his way when he pulls at her ponytail. She stands up for Sev against his taunts, stares down at him with monochromatic lens, and believes too hastily in the gilded love in her storybooks.

One day she shows up to class with her arm in a cast, although he sees no other sign of brokenness about her. She was playing at the park with Severus Snape and had slipped from the swings, although he is too eager to insist that it was slimy Snape’s doing. This causes her to yell at him, in that earth-shaking and thunderous way she does, and the storm between them wages on.

They reach an unspoken truce when, seven weeks later, the cast comes off and the hairs on her mended arm has become darker and longer out of lack of sunlight. Several boys in class crowd around her, nasty grins on their faces, slapping her with juvenile insults of hairy arse and monkey and Tarzan in drag.

James Potter rises to his fullest height and punches all of them square in the face.

Petunia tells her to suck in her stomach. At almost-sixteen – two years Lily’s senior – Petunia insists on knowing the roads and highways of the world of women, as if the appliance of lipstick is the hallmark of maturity. Lily challenges her on this, and they don’t talk for a long time.

On her thirteenth birthday, Mary, Marlene, and Dorcas take her to the beach, where she collects seashells and swims in a swimsuit that didn't fit her skin just right. A beautiful woman, older but not old, hips wide but not fat, wades into the sea – a soulmate mark in the shape of a crashing wave around her neck – and Lily knows then that she wants to be just like that.

She doesn’t want to be Petunia’s idea of woman, perfect nails and hairless legs and impeccable hair, a door open for perfection in place of her raw, messy heart. She doesn’t know what she will be – with her stinging tongue and hairy arms and saggy stomach, she just spills over the lines of what she learns a girl should be.

She tries to tell her best friend this, but Sev has bigger problems; his dad just lost his job at Cokeworth’s paper factory, his mom is losing herself bit by bit to cigarettes and drink, and he himself is a gangly, sour-eyed mess of a boy. Lily gives Sev half the birthday seashells (even if he claims to hate all pretty things) and they climb onto the balcony to count the January stars.

She will always wonder what his soulmate mark is. He never told her.

Potter sends her a copy of Anne of Green Gables as a surprise gift. She frowns over possible ulterior motives, but decides to give him the benefit of the doubt. When she gets to the part where Anne Shirley breaks a slate over Gilbert Blythe’s head for his calling her ‘carrots,’ there is an annotation on the sidelines that reads: They took a leaf out of our book, Evans.

She smiles.

James loses his virginity to an eighteen-year-old whose name he doesn’t know. The girl’s mark – he couldn’t remember what it was – nestles between her breasts and all he could think of during the drunken quick-and-clumsy tumble was lilies, lilies, lilies. White, scarlet, orange.

But he doesn’t think of her name.

Around her, he is all boastful talk and boyish flirtation, clammy palms and stumbling heartbeat. Sirius teases him mercilessly about having the same mark as the flower in her name, and with any other girl this might encourage him even further, but with Lily Evans it just makes the aching storm in his stomach much louder and bigger.

Meanwhile, Lily wills herself to stop finding Severus everywhere she goes. She’s never been good at letting go, never been eager to cut her losses and accept defeat, but she has to do this, needs to do this. She tosses away all his cigarettes, returns his chemistry books, deletes his number, unfriends him on Facebook even though he never even opens Facebook.

She is fifteen, more of an almost-woman than a girl, and she has never been more miserable.

She wonders if she even knows what a friend is anymore. Her first was Petunia, the elder sister who could do no wrong, who wore her makeup like armor and unsheathed her sharp tongue like a sword. That was before they drifted apart, years of petty fights and stinging comments and taking each other for granted built up into a rubble too high to climb over.

Despite herself, she finds herself walking to the dreary creek she and Sev used to play pirates in, thinking of summers where they lost themselves in blue skies and apple trees and mindless chatter. Then she thought of the tiresome back-and-forth of fighting and forgiving, the past year of Mulciber and Avery looming overhead their friendship, their stilted conversations as they try to navigate common ground that doesn’t involve social politics or immigration laws, lest Sev showed his colors of bigotry.

Marlene tells her to start taking people at their face value. “Stop trying to find signs and deeper meanings in everything, love. Sometimes shit people are just shit.”

–

She traces the prongs on her body with a light fingertip and wonders about all the mysteries that lay beneath. She is standing naked in front of her bathroom mirror, her curtain of red hair spilling behind her shoulders. On one hand she is holding up a pair of scissors.

Mary is convinced that cutting her long, thick hair is a terrible sin, while Marlene and Dorcas seem to support her decision, rash as it may seem. Over the summer, Marlene refashioned her hair into a pink pixie (to the detriment of her traditionalist parents), so she ought to know the significance of a makeover.

When the deed is done, Lily’s hair barely grazes her collarbone, and she feels light. Not light enough to heave the whole world from her shoulders, but it is enough for now.

On Monday, Potter’s eyes widened – just slightly – as he took her in. They are biology lab partners, and his chatter is one of the few things keeping her awake so early in the morning.

(“You are a changed person, Evans,” he whistles. “What next, you wear green sneakers instead of white?”

“You’re thinking ahead for once,” she smirks.

“Well, one of us has to.”)

She joins his ‘solo study group’ and meets with him in the library every Tuesday and Thursday, where they did less revising and more of sneaking chips under the table and taking the mickey out of each other. They go through two weeks before evacuating to the toasty coffee-shop down the street, after she saw Severus scowling at them from behind a library computer.

He’s still a little arrogant, a little immature, his hair a manmade mess and his swagger making him look like a cock of the walk. But she smiles a little more when he’s around.

He takes her out to a fish and chips shop for her seventeenth. From where he’s standing, Lily glows like a fucking night light in the dark, her hair the color of beautiful wildfire. Their date – for that is what it is, in his mind – passes by in a whirl of laughter and warmth.

“So,” she jabs at him. “What plans have you got after school?”

He makes a face. “No clue. I figure I’d live off some rich cougar’s generosities.” She snorts. “And help around with my parents’ philanthropic charities, continue the benevolent Potter legacy.”

“That’s surprising,” Lily smirks. “I always thought you were particularly Laodicean.”

“Christ, and you call me posh? I’m not the one using words like Lao-whosit.”

“Yeah, but I’m the right kind of posh, see.”

“Oh, so you think you’re better than the rest of us lowly mortals because you read every Jane bloody Austen novel and can recite John Keats at the drop of a hat?”

“Well, I’m never one to deny my own achievements,” she dusts the salt off her fingers on a napkin, “and don’t pretend that youdon’t like it.”

His hand pauses around a glass of water. She reddens, but just a little – she is too much of herself to be embarrassed. “I do. Like it, I mean – I like every part of you.”

“I like you too, you fool,” she squeezes his hand. James’ heart feels like it’s about to jump out of his chest and conquer the whole universe. “Is this the part where you ask me out? Properly and not in a pigheaded way, like all the other times.”

“You’re right. I’m too young and beautiful to waste anymore of my love life.”

She kicks his shin. “James.”

“Lily. Alright, alright would you do me the amazing, magnificent, utterly wonderful honor of being my – er, girlfriend?”

“Yes, I believe that’s the word. Mind you, I’m a fan of holding hands.”

“And I’m rather fond of – if it’s not vulgar of me to say so – cuddling.”

She playfully places a hand over her lips. “Potter! Do you kiss girls with that mouth?”

“You wanna find out?”

The lily glows in a hundred lights, different shades of orange or red or pearly whites on different days. It comes alive on his skin, formed into it like the love in his lungs.

The prongs grow enough antlers until they are connected, right at the dip of her breasts. He spends many mornings lazily trailing the lines with his tongues, fingers, eyes, and she feels complete.

ANSWERING RECENT HEADCANONS AND RADOTING

Sacha using his fists to defend himself before his wand is a big ass mood

Remember when the rebels rescued Lily in the Excidium verse and she head butted one of them

Like I said they’re actually super alike!! Sacha’s the alternative version of Lily that managed to stay on the right path :’)

HE’S PROBABLY AFRAID OF BLOOD THE BBY

Gnnn now I can see a Peeta/Johanna-like relationship between him and Lily?? Like the “we’re very familiar with each other’s screams” part. I’m not ok wbu

Sacha as a cook I’m 100% here for it

Lily too started getting tattoos when she was caught for the first time and sent to the Ministry around her “registration number”!!!!! The feels

EDAN SPENT 5 YEARS IN JAIL WTH HOW IS THIS MAN STILL ALIVE GIVE HIM A MEDAL

Sacha and Lily escaping all the time always <3 The deatheaters must be so mad hihihihi

How old is actually Edan?? Wait he must have known Wyn from Hogwarts + she was a prefect as well

Sacha completing a muggle degree made me so emotional like?? It’s like he felt he didn’t completely fit in and :’( :’(

I like these plots of people not completely fitting in tho (Sacha, the Auderic, the Blackbirds, etc.) JK Rowling always made it seem like tout allait bien dans le meilleur des mondes and hm?? Not buying it you’re not even a democracy oy

Also Lily contacted the Order pretty early on so that they could help her hide her family. So she probably met with Edan wayyyy before Sacha (or like, they probably knew each other from Hogwarts, but not so much?? Lily was too busy trying to save Slytherin souls you know :’))

All Gryffindors are assertive and arrogant let’s face it (Wynona is I am EVERYONE IS)

The whole Edan plotline is :’(((((((( I have no idea how Wyn would react to that but she’d definitely be involved. Wyn has always been independent and has never relied on anyone (before the accident at least), but I feel like Edan could have been the one she was confiding to about the shit she was struggling with. Kids and Sacha could always confide to her and count on her support; but she was the mother, the big sister, it was all one-way, except maybe with Edan. So she would care a hell lot

Also she cares so much about Sacha and this is so terrible for him like

It’s Wynona tho so she may try to confront Edan mdr, so the explosion plot wouldn’t be so unlikely hihi

Or maybe she’d be surprisingly caring?? Like that would be the thing to reactivate her soft spot

Also caring for Edan would be her awkward way of showing Sacha she still fucking cares for him

Siblings relationships will be the end of me I swear to god

Running away!! I can totally picture a scene in which Nathan and Lily would be quiet, and it would be weird because they’re rarely just the two of them now, and one of them goes like “maybe we should just run away/maybe we should have ran when we still could”

Nathan thinking he’s too weak is a big no tho

I also have had this scene in mind FOR AGES and I need this to be canon??? Nathan and Lily. Sitting on a roof. (This was Excidium’s era yo, remember how they lived on a mf roof??? MDR) It’s all quiet. And Lily grabs Nathan’s hand. “I’m proud of you. I’m proud of us.” BIIIITCH I NEED EPISODE 2 OF THIS NATHAN NEEDS EPISODE 2 OF THIS

The frequency to which I rely on capital letters is becoming concerning

Tbh I just miss the Nathalily banter. I just want my girl to go like “you’re my family BITCH”

Remember in Excidium (sorry hihi) when they found each other after MONTHS and one of the first things she said was “yo you look like shit”??? #MyNathalily

(Also I always forget how hot Nathan actually is. Mdr and Lily is just like “oy ugly”)

(And yes!!!! How he used to FAIRE DES PUTAINS DE LABYRINTHE A LA SORTIE DE SON DORM what a bitch I love him) (I miss them as kids :’(((((()

(Most of their les Ames Mortes friends must be dead btw. Bonne ambiance)

(Once I had a dream where Kira was somehow coming back??? Which was cool because he was sort of Lily’s psychologist and that would GREATLY help rn)

Gnnn Lily would be like “You CAN’T let the McMillan run this thing” but at the same time she would not do anything about it?? Placing all the burden on his shoulders. I’m sorry Wyn and Lily are such shitty friends atm but they’re… so far gone, in a way :’(

It will get better tho!! LOVE IS MORE POWERFUL REMEMBER

Actually Lily and Nathan are facing the exact same problems mdr so they should see it eventually

Lily’s not a leader, OR at least she never meant to be one. Pls just let her be Nathan’s bras droit once again, I feel like they both need it rn

OR MAYBE THEY NEED TO RUN AWAY

Sorry

I’m just thinking so much about how Aron’s death must have affected their relationship. Like Aron was Nathan’s brother too tbh

I also thought Nathan’s connection to both fire and water was so interesting yoooo, especially because Lily is so much the incarnation of water to me (even tho she’s also very earthly and she’s, in a way, full of fire)

NATHAN ON A DRAGON’S BACK IS BOTH TERRIFYING AND SEXY AF

Remember the part where Wynona now has two fully grown dragons?? Just sayin

Nathan was actually quite dark on Les Ames Mortes mdr, I remember this whole dark mark storyline and holy shit

“He’s been TAMED and you CAN’T tame him he’s a wild animal” *slow claps even tho this may not be a very reassuring perspective*

I feel so sorry for Nathan and Sacha!! (And Wyn and Lily mdr)

OK I’M HAVING SO MUCH WYNONATHAN FEELS ATM

As I was writing the Blackbird scene I was like “this reminds me of something hmmm” and then I remembered Nathan’s story and!!!!

These bitches have so much in common they must laugh it off to pretend like it’s not serious business

I can so much picture Wyn bringing Nathan to the Ranch and him seeing the Thestrals and casually saying “it’s been so since [he] was a kid” “oh me too” “hahahahaha how fun”

Wyn making fun of Nathan’s patronus “hahahaha you’re so in love with me right” (bonus if Nathan does not know her last name yet and she goes “do you know who the fuck I am”)

I LOVE Ydria and you know who else would LOVE her?? Wynona. Yes. If she ever meets her tbh she’s gonna stan (poor Nathan mdr)

(Rick Yaxley already???? Wtf I didn’t know about that what a bitch wtf wtf wtf)

(btw quite canon that Wyn’s family has also been executed by deatheaters because they were becoming too much of a threat/were too out of control/were non-white so no one could understand them mdr)

Btw. The parallel between both their families in terms of integration to the pureblood scene is EVERYTHING. They were such powerful families and the others were such racist pieces of crap

The Blackbirds have never been fine politicians. When Blackbird Père figured out it would be nice to have allies on the pureblood scene he probably rushed to the Lestrange because 1) they’re scary af and 2) Corvus oculum corvi non eruit. I swear to God

When they could have been allied with the Oderikos I’M SORRY BUT

Btw chapter 3 is Wynona at one such pureblood gathering :’) and SORRY AGAIN but don’t tell me the table for discussing politics was not organized by “family importance”. The Big Seven, then the other British families, than the… non-white people :’) Also just saying that if the table is organized alphabetically that means that WYNONA’S SEAT WILL BE NEXT TO NATHAN’S MDRRRRRRR

Is this really how they’re gonna meet (cause tbh I’m here for it) (I even mention it briefly at the end hihi you’ll see) (I’m a foreshadowing queen y’know)

Just saying that if the Oderikos and the Blackbirds could have seen their resemblances… “I have a son you have a daughter we’ll join our houses…..” In a parallel universe Nathan and Wynona could be married just saying hein

Sorry but the association of these two houses sounds terrifying I like it

But do you know who are the most terrifying people of these families?? YDRIA AND THE AMERICAN BRANCH. WHAT IF THEY COME. BOTH OF THEM.

Can Wyn somehow figure out that Nathan has Native American blood pls this just needs to be addressed

Can they teach other “unorthodox magic/ways of burning things”???

(YDRIA AS DESCENDANTS OF GREEK GODS I’M DYING!!!!!!!!!)

(ODERIKOS MEN BEING CURSED!!!!!)

100% agree that Nathan and Wyn could burn the world AND each other up

Not directly related but you know my original plan was to have Wynona die in a massive suicide-bomb attack. Just like casually leaving Nathan’s bed in the middle of the night to blow herself up. I mean I don’t know what this is doing here but I just needed to say it

Omg yes they’re such soulmates but I don’t think they’re good for each other. STAR-CROSSED LOVERS MUCH omg

Pretty sure Wyn knows that but… there’s not much she can do about it mdr

Like before the war she was confiding to Edan, but in the war she found someone so much like her, that can relate to the trauma she’s been through?? She craves it, she NEEDS it and she is always going to need it

(Gnnn she just needs someone to take care of her ok)

Plus if the kids have adopted Nathan, can you imagine

People being like “he’s good for you/you’re good for each other” WELL ACTUALLY

Maybe relationships which start with fights are not meant to end so well??? Maybe that’s just too much fire??

(Also huge need for an angsty RP where she’s just yelling at him “YOU LEFT ME AT MY LOWEST” and shit. Does Nathan need that? Probably not. But I do hihihi)

Anyway je radote ptn

Et en attendant j’ai fait d’autres playlists just as messy as this post:

· Lily : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ0c2JClJHl10O5TcXXte7AD8K7I46ARt

· Evans siblings: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ0c2JClJHl2GyO486p5UjsMRHot_h-on

· A bby one but well-needed for Cassiel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ0c2JClJHl3ZNPaKs-7i56Gcsosu7xyQ

· Nathalily: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ0c2JClJHl3RUhSkv0gTftnzcBJj7aaE (pls don’t hit me for the last one ok)

· WYNONATHAN: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ0c2JClJHl3cyiZtCP-40U6Ze8SXYGy7

75 fluffy jily fics for a happy new year

Anon: Hello! I'm a college freshman and it's my first exams week and I'm physically ill and also homesick and so could you pretty pretty please direst me to some wholesome jily fluffiness to make things better?

Sorry for the late reply! To make up for it, please have way too many fluffy jily fics to make you feel better. <3 I 100% gave some of these drabbles arbitrary titles because ‘untitled’ is boring when repeated thirty times.

hogwarts

and i wait for shore <> jiilys frequently I find myself agreeing to things I shouldn’t just so I can be next to you

arse over tea kettle <> october31st1981

her voice drifts down the corridor, and half of him wants to think something poetic about the way the sound of it envelops him, and the other half of him thinks he is a complete prat for even having such thoughts

ask me <> bcdaily “So, Hogsmeade,” she says, sitting before the fire in the common room next to him, going through some disciplinary paperwork McGonagall had passed off to them that morning–the downside of being Head Boy and Girl. “Have any plans?”

can i tell you a secret? <> october31st1981 “Can I tell you a secret?” he murmurs into her neck. “You’re part troll,” she guesses. She pats him clumsily on the back, unwilling to move from their position sprawled out on the grass. “It’s alright, I’ve accepted you for who you are.”

charms class and jealous hands <> realslytherinchick Sorry? Stop what? That thing you’re doing. Stop it. You’ll have to be a little more clear than that, Evans, I’ve no idea what you’re talking about.

eleven <> october31st1981 James Potter is very different from when he was eleven years old, you think as he kisses you.

first time holding hands <> suchasart He was tall. Tall, and looking down at her, and the embers in his brown-gold eyes warmed a blush across her face.

good, decent <> bcdaily She watched as he wriggled the bits of parchment he’d unceremoniously sprawled himself upon out from underneath him. Instead of tossing them atop one of the piles she already had stacked on the nearby coffee table, he began to skim through them, one by one. “What are you doing?” she asked. His gaze flickered to her briefly. “Helping.”

how will i find you <> jiilys James, you say with your chin on my chest, let’s go live in the moon.

jily drinking together <> october31st1981 “I am a gift,” says James seriously. Lily swings her body around, kicking him in the head in the process. She ignores his yelp, telling him, “That’s a funny way to pronounce ‘git.’”

lily stalks james <> bcdaily “I’m sort of starting to get the feeling that you’re enjoying stalking me.” “I am trying to keep you from blowing up the school,” Lily says, dipping her quill in her inkpot and gently tapping it against the chipped lip. “There’s pleasure in that, certainly.” “You’re sure that’s all it is?”

of sickles and snogging <> jamesstruttingpotter she didn’t even throw it, she just slowly pushed it into his face. it was the most sexually charged pie throwing i’ve ever seen.

new year <> scared-of-clouds Lily Evans is planning on seeing the New Year in alone, then just getting through the rest of the year with as few problems as possible. Unfortunately for Lily Evans, very little in her life is that simple. Still, what difference can a year make?

nice <> newtscmandr In which Lily is hung over and has a nice conversation with James, about a certain part of his anatomy.

this could happen <> jamesstruttingpotter Future planning + Jily flirting.

the one with the forgotten two of diamonds <> iolanthepotter/apalapucian James and Lily brew Amortentia together—and nothing happens. Lily thinks she’s officially gone forever numb, James thinks the dungeons smell like a swamp, and everyone concludes they’re both idiots. Everybody’s daft in love.

quidditch shirt <> iolanthepotter/apalapucian Marlene peered at her and grinned. “He smells that nice, eh?”Lily whipped around to glare at her. “It’s very… comfortable. That’s all.”

study date <> october31st1981 “You’re an awful influence, Evans,” says James, glancing up from his Potions textbook. “I’ve never known you to complain about where I put my hands before,” she says, still grinning widely.

testing (gift for an angel) <> bcdaily If he thought about this critically, James reckons he’s spent the better part of three years planning this date. (It really was a damn shame that Sirius seemed determined to cock it all up.)

that elusive aha moment <> suchasart/wilhelmina willoughby The Aha Moment: a point in time when something finally clicks. Everyone realizes that there’s something more between James and Lily, though it takes some people longer than others. James has always been a slow learner.

the early morning toast brigade <> ghostofbambi In which Lily Evans makes the best of insomnia, with the help of her womanly wiles.

the juggernaut factor <> fabiansgoldwatch There’s something you have to realise about a boy who buys you sweets that taste like torture, fights a branch duel for your honour, or lets you dribble on his jumper: a boy like that should never be ignored.

the long haul <> bigquidditchhero “Don’t try and change the subject,” she said sternly, waggling her finger at him. “You’ve got loads of secrets, I know you have.” He shook his head as he turned his attention back to the crossword. “Evans, I don’t know what to tell you. I’m an open book.”

the story of a lady and a gentleman <> hiddenpolkadots Lily scoffed. “Look who’s talking about rude,” she sniffed. “I’m standing here and you’re sitting there. Didn’t your mother ever teach you that’s it’s gentlemanly to give up your seat for a lady?” “She did,” he allowed. “But I don’t think that rule applies to cheeky bints like you.”

there’s a reason for all those love songs <> gxldentrio If you asked James Potter at what point he figured out that he was absolutely in love with Lily Evans, he wouldn’t be able to give you a straight answer.

married/engaged

a cold war coming <> thequibblah “Here’s an idea,” Lily said suddenly. “I’m all ears.” She grinned widely, her whole face lighting up. “Marry me.”

a compromise <> october31st1981 “And what woman do you expect to carry seven of your offspring into the world?” He takes a moment to consider this. “You, probably.”

a lavish affair <> bigquidditchhero “- I’ll still be thinking Merlin, that Evans, what a killjoy. But then I’ll think, thank goodness I get to do unspeakable things with her as well. The fun’s not completely lost that way, you see.”

adorable drunken babes <> sunshinedaisieswindmills He really would like to kiss her, he decided, so he closed his eyes and tilted his head and moved in, only to find that Lily was no longer standing in front of him. Instead, she sat on the floor giggling. “I fell,” she said, laughing. “There was a puddle and I fell and now my bum’s wet.”

lace <> theodoornott “You look really beautiful,” he suddenly whispers in her ear, and she turns to her husband and just laughs because he looks so lustful and mischievous and positively boyish. She grabs the hand that is currently tickling her side, and kisses its palm. “You too,” she tells him, and she means it.

till kingdom come <> iolanthepotter/apalapucian “I love him so much, you know?” And it’s ridiculous, but Remus’s heart swells, and just then he can feel the tears stinging the corners of his eyes. “Bloody prat’s been in love with you since forever.”

say when <> ravnclaws “James?” she asks and he hums against her ear in response. “Really?” “Just say when.”

starlight <> iolanthepotter/apalapucian “I didn’t let you fall,” he answers. He smirks, draws you closer to labor the point of his pathetic excuse for a catch. Except he did, you think. And you’ve fallen. Oh, how hard have you fallen, Lily Evans, how hard are you still falling, a million times in the million little leaps of faith you’ve made with and for this boy, long before your feet touched the ground.

domestic/family

are you flirting with me <> october31st1981 She takes the hand that is not in hers and places it on her waist, while hers drifts to his collar. “You know, Lily, this feels a lot like flirting,” says James conversationally, his fingers pressing warmly on her rib cage.

morning <> apalapucian/iolanthepotter He was very, very warm. He stood there, still and quiet in all his messy-haired, bespectacled glory, just looking down at you with a raised eyebrow and a quarter of that trademark smirk. “Are you going to take it off or should I?”

ready, set, go <> bigquidditchhero James, Lily, and baby Harry are in hiding in Godric’s Hollow and they entertain themselves by playing with the cat

familiarity (kills the romance) <> ravnclaws When they go to bed that night, she watches as he brushes his teeth and as he changes into his pyjamas and as he kisses her goodnight, and she thinks about how James is not a mystery, he’s just a normal guy after all.

golden days <> suchasart/wilhelmina willoughby James and Lily like to appreciate the little things in life.

golden retrieval <> preciselypotter Lily held up the black-and-purple briefs she’d just found on their bedroom floor. “Are these yours?” “What?” James stuck his head into the room. “What do you mean, are those mine? Have you been having a bloke over while I’m out?”

hands <> theodoornott Call it cabin fever but it has reached the point where she cannot resist looking on as takes the broken and downtrodden into his hands and brings them back to life, whistling tunelessly as he works and clicking his tongue whenever he’s in deep thought.

a cauldron full of strong, hot love <> bigquidditchhero Lily’s got a summer job, and James is suddenly a keen potioneer. No war AU.

blue shell <> jamesstruttingpotter Did you actually just blue shell me on our date?

brand new neighbors au <> iolanthepotter/apalapucian What he’s trying to say is that, well, three knocks is too unceremonious a warning, and that he’s pretty sure this is his soulmate standing before him right now.

in another world <> itwasprongs/padfootdidit They meet accidentally, strings entangling together beneath the ink of Paris’ night. In the lamplight she is a ghost, hair on fire. James goes to her and the stars turn his backpack into dusty wings.

intercepted communication <> ravnclaws I use morse code to talk to my friend during class but it turns out you know morse code too and now you know that i think you have a cute butt AU.

key limes <> fetchalgernon/cgner In which Academy Award winner Lily Evans discovers the periphery of internet fandom and the existence of Prince James’s gold star system.

laugh to fall apart <> realslytherinchick Lily is fond of laser tag, but when the Marauders find out she has no one to play with, they invite themselves along to a game.

lessons in lesson planning <> fetchalgernon/cgner Lily and James are unwittingly set up on a blind date and execute the perfect revenge.

my spellbound heart <> hiddenpolkadots “What kind of person could they be if our shared mark is a pair of antlers on my arse?” asks Lily, craning her neck to stare at the ink, stark against her pale skin. No matter how hard she glares at it, it remains there.

pretty <> realslytherinchick “First you criticize the brilliance of my last-minute costume, then you nearly break my heart. Who are you, Lily, that you have such power over me?” “Either your worst nightmare or your wildest dream come true, but possibly both at once.”

rule #27 /’ the group with the pies’ <> poppypomfrey ‘Lily, take off the moustache, you’ve been wearing it for 20 minutes.’ ‘This is serious business,’ she says, tugging it from her upper lip, ‘and besides, it’s ten times better than your moustache.’ He can’t stop looking at her lips.

seven things <> iolanthepotter/apalapucian James leans in. Lily hears the script crumple in his hands, but she doesn’t look to check. His lips touch the corner of hers, a hand coming up to cup her face. He is moving. So. Maddeningly. Slow… She curses in her head, makes up about a hundred thousand excuses for the next second—and then grabs him down by the back of his neck and kisses him fully, desperately, fervidly.

shades of red <> fetchalgernon/cgner “I’d heard that the potion gave you Veela powers, but I didn’t know that also came with conceitedness.” “Is it conceit if my hair is that good? Because I think that’s just regular pride. Would you rather I lied and said I hated my hair?”

sheep riding and freefalling <> fetchaglernon/cgner He’s leaning forward in his seat to study an air vent, his face only a few inches away from the dashboard, his brow furrowed in concentration.“Fascinating,” he breathes. “Put your seatbelt on or I will pull this car over,” Lily says.

so tender and mild <> hiddenpolkadots If they lived fluffy domestic oneshot.

staff relations <> bigquidditchhero Professor James Potter is happy in his job as Transfiguration teacher - until the new Potions professor tries to ruin his life.

swipe right (into my arms) <> a_lrightevans Her thumb hovers over the unmatch button for a second, but then she switches back to his profile, and he really does have nice arms, so she just types out ‘you’re a massive prat and terminator is a shite movie, anyway’ and hits send instead.

textbooks, time scarves, and tea <> fetchalgernon/cgner Lily visits the coffee shop because Sev works there, even though he’s got a completely obnoxious coworker with admittedly fantastic hair.

the rom coms got it wrong <> hiddenpolkadots Fake dating AU

what a beautiful wedding <> a_lrightevans ‘Sneaking away… from your sister’s wedding… for a snog…’ said James breathlessly between kisses. ‘Classy, Evans—’ She shut him up by kissing him harder, knocking his glasses askew and tangling her hands in his hair. ‘Psh …’ she muttered as his lips moved to her neck. ‘This is what weddings were invented for.’

undercover <> a_lrightevans Lily scoffs. ‘We have sex like, once- maybe four times, and suddenly I’m your girlfriend?’ James shrugs.

mine

a list is just a list - The Marauders think the parchment James just dropped is a list of the places they’ve pulled pranks, but Lily knows better.

feels like love - Lily & James use each other’s wands for the first time.

hello, mister - me and my housemate just spent twenty minutes trying to take the lid off of a blender and had to resort to taking it to our next door neighbor, who we have never met or spoken to before.

pep(per) up, peppermint - Sixth year Lily is home, sick, at Christmas. Can a visit from her friends cheer her up?

shining stars - The ’78 Hogwarts class—Gryffindors, mostly—gather at a pub to catch up when someone brings up who, exactly, was to blame for Breda Padgett’s broken ankle, sixth year.

subtle arrangements - Person A owns a flower shop and Person B comes storming in one day, slaps a 20 on the counter and says, “How do I passive-aggressively say fuck you in flowers?”

the one that i want - James and Lily end up at the same costume party dressed up as two members of a famous fictional couple. Everyone makes them take pictures together and quote lines from the movie. It starts out really awkward but then Sirius, dressed as a pirate, finds them making out in the bathroom.

three quarts of milk - James and Lily have been in hiding for two months. James is stir crazy and trying not to show it. Lily jumps into action.

your other pillock boyfriend - James writes to Lily to explain a few things.
