From their time at Hogwarts to their untimely death, James and Lily become something more than just themselves.

They're inseparable at Hogwarts, so when James and Lily are separated for Christmas Holidays, James doesn't know what to do with himself. His best mate is an unsympathetic ass, frankly, so James does what he does best and sneaks into Lily's bedroom in the middle of the night.

Red. It was such an interesting color to correlate with emotion because it was on both ends of the spectrum. On one end there was happiness, falling in love, passion, all that. On the other end was jealousy, fear and frustration. Maybe that's why James thought the nickname fit Lily so well. (Bodyguard!James/Celebrity!Lily)

It didn't matter if the windowpanes were cracked, the wallpaper was peeling, or the crown molding was falling to the floor.

(jilytober drabble #1) (HGTV Jily AU)

His attraction to her was not out of the ordinary – he was always painfully, depressingly aware of her presence anywhere, capable of identifying and discerning her from everyone else in the exact, suspensive moment when she entered any room – but her positive reaction to it definitely was.

"What did you think this was?" she asked. "Last night." He pulled a hand through his hair. "I don't know," he said honestly. "I've never done this before. I just thought...you'd stick around, we'd talk about it, maybe go to breakfast together." She looked at him curiously. "By 'this' you mean a one night stand?" He shook his head. "I've never done this before," he repeated.
