We think we know someone, but the truth is that we only know the version of them that they have chosen to show us. There will be no further explanation, only reputation. (Slytherin!Lily/Gryffindor!James)

A medley of unconnected drabbles focusing on James and Lily.

I love my parents. They should be happy and have friends. But when your parents become best friends with the mother of James Potter, your annoying, lazy, infuriating, arrogant, childish prat of an ex-boyfriend, and invite them to spend the Christmas holidays with your family, you start to question the relativity of happiness. Right before you lose your sanity, of course.

"The way she babbled on about the place made it seem like some sort of promise land, but James knew full well that is was nothing of the sort. Sowsworth was a wasteland that comprised of seven shops, a pub, and the incredibly bored shadows of lonely people. It was not bloody Shangri-la." AU.

*COMPLETE* There was never a hatred so profound as that of Rose Weasley and Scorpius Malfoy, but when a challenge is issued the pair embark on a roller-coaster ride of emotions and confusing, passionate meetings. Enemies with Benefits never tasted this good, and Rose is going to learn there is a whole lot more to Scorpius than a lifelong rivalry and a wicked smirk. RW/SM.

Princess Diaries AU. When Percy finds out he's a prince, it kind of hard for him to believe. Future king of Olympia? Yeah, right. Tell it to the orderlies at the loony bin. He doesn't have the looks, the vocabulary, the money - he's probably the furthest thing from royal. But with guts and some help from his pretty bodyguard, he'll find a way to make it happen.

James and Lily have been fighting non-stop for months. When Moody orders them on respite, they retreat to Lily's old stomping grounds. More specifically, camping grounds.

"We don't deserve her," the Head Boy answered thoughtfully. "None of us do. Not even me. Not because she's perfect. She's not. Sometimes I think she's even more disastrously flawed than the rest of us combined. And not because she's beautiful, even though she is. Certainly not for being lovely because she never was.We don't deserve her because she's so much more than we'll ever be"

She was dramatic. He was dynamic. She was precise. He was impulsive. He was James, and she was Lily, and one day they shared a kiss, but before that they shared many arguments, for he was cocky, and she was sweet, and matters of the heart require time.

She's a mix of stolen kisses and hot skin and burns. She's a volcano. Something in the air is different when he walks in, a loud, handsome boy-hurricane (her hurricane) throwing the room into absolute chaos. They're bold and fearless and crazy, ever-changing but still the same. Companion piece to Rumours. James/Lily one-shot.

AU. Lily Evans isn't a witch.

Part I of in-progress trilogy [6th year]: The thing about being Lily Evans and James Potter was that you couldn't do anything without everybody else saying something about it.

"People glare at you and smile at me, until I kiss you in the street. I am sick of compliments I don't deserve." RoseScorpius.

He kissed her, quickly and quietly, as another firework went off – the exact opposite of what she had dreamed of as a child – but she was in love, and the quiet confession of a lip on a lip was all she needed as proof. JPLE One-shot.

"Mister Potter!" A sharp voice rang out, Lily's face heating up as James casually removed his lips from her neck, "What do you think you're doing to Miss Evans?" "Ravishing her, of course." JPLE One-Shot.

I know that goodbye means nothing at all. / The tale of Scorpius Malfoy and Rosie Weasley. For Kimani, aka paperdisasters.

Lily Evans has been distracted lately…and it’s all because of James Potter and his stupid, unbuttoned shirt. Hardly any fluff, but plenty of shirtless James for everybody. Seventh year fic.
