Lily Evans can't take her eyes off James Potter when he waltzes into the Gryffindor room with a confident air and a tray full of cupcakes.

They met at a bus stop and James only needed ten minutes to fall for her single parent au

He passes her the cardboard box and their fingers brush again only this time Lily doesn't pull away so quickly. This time Lily lingers, if only to be thrown back into another time when James was her everything. If he was willing, she'd let him be her everything again. (Happy Bday Elle-enjoy the Grocery Store/Smut Filled/Muggle AU that literally no one but you could love so much)

He knew the feeling in the pit of his stomach, the one that made him feel like he was simultaneously flying and falling all at once. He was in love with his best friend. (L/J fluffy canonverse one shot)

"You're just a silhouette of the girl you once were..." XxX pinkpoetrysalad requested "Lily is in a car crash and James talks to her throughout the coma because I want to watch the world burn" so you can all blame her for this one.

From the first day he set sail as a young Prince alongside his father the King, James was glued to the sea like it was a lifeline. It only made sense that he'd eventually fall in love with a woman that loved the ocean as much as he did, even if she did have a tail. (Jily Little Mermaid AU oneshot)

James Potter's flat mates are under strict orders to take James directly to the airport in time for his flight home for Christmas dinner.

James Potter can find anything he needs in his local supermarket - bread, milk, the woman of his dreams - they've got it all.

'Her lips tasted of manufactured cherries and they were sort of sticky from her lip-gloss, but if he was truly honest, he loved having her lip-gloss on him. He felt taken, as if she had ownership over him. He felt as though she was claiming him, leaving her mark there for others to see.' James/Lily. T for safety.

Well, Harry may have been little, but he had heard the word "NO!" many times in his short life. Dada's wand was NO. Mumma's wand was NO. Mumma's icky vase was NO. Throwing his food was NO. But never before had Mumma been NO.

When Petunia's reluctance to include her sister in her wedding begins to unexpectedly wear on Lily and make her feel unwanted and unappreciated, James is there to remind her just how wanted and appreciated she really is.

"Never?" Lily shook her head and for a moment looked completely sober as she gathered all the love in that one smile that only James could bring out of her. "Never."

A short and sweet fiction about how James and Lily got together. I read a short Jily One-shot on Tumblr and got really inspired. The Tumblr Post is quoted in the square brackets [ Talking to him ….. match continues ] and from there on my story begins. Please Review so that I know whether I should try writing more or not.

It wasn't the first time Lily Evans wore James Potter's shirt and it certainly wouldn't be the last.

Four instances Severus was jealous of James Potter and or the Marauders *rated T because of mentions of sex*

"James," Lily said suddenly. He looked at her, a broad grin still spread across his face. "Do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?" A series of one-shots about James and Lily in their 7th year.

James looks up at her over his glasses, and she's struck with how pretty he is. Lily knows it's not the time or place, but his eyes catch the light just right, and his lips are so, so pink, and his hair is basically begging to be touched, and wow, Lily realizes James Potter is pretty.

"I love you", he had said. It took her some time to figure out what she wanted. [Rewrite of the 2015 story]

She hates him and his stupid mouth that kissed Alice last week, and she hates him because he's holding the book she needs, but mostly she hates him because when she kisses him, he tastes like tea and biscuits and chocolate, and his hands know exactly where to fall as she quite literally jumps him.

What might have happened during James and Lily's first Christmas if they hadn't had to deal with Voldemort. How might they handle being pregnant for Christmas...

James is having a fantastic Saturday. Quidditch, Lily, his best mates, firewhiskey. What more could he want?

"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." AU.

Lily Evans leads a simple life of making pies and waking the dead. She doesn't wake them for good, mind – only for a minute, until she and Sirius can find out who killed them. Their latest case: James Potter, moneyed heir, messy haired, and recent murder victim. Keeping him alive is a terrible idea. Too bad Lily's always been a bit reckless.

Because standing in front of him with her green eyes blown wide and mouth shaped in a small 'o' is Lily Evans and James is just about hoping that the ground would open up beneath his feet and swallow him whole.

One question has many answers, to the point where neither Lily nor James seem to completely know for sure: "Are you two dating?"

"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.

Lily never had the right kissing partner. It's James' mission to change it. (Fluffy Jily with a hint of Wolfstar)

I've spent half this morning thinking about the tee shirt you sleep in. L/J Fluff! One Shot.

They're complete idiots, and Sirius loves them.

"You're beautiful, that's for sure..." Lily can't fall asleep, and her husband's sleeping profile is wonderful. Lighthearted Jily drabble. Pt II is up!

It's their last Gryffindor Halloween party and Lily needs to find James Potter's stupid beautiful hair and stupid adorable face. Features costumed marauders, an embattled Lily, and one very drunk Benjy Fenwick.

The story of Lily and James; From newly-weds, until the very end...

It infuriated her, his ability to know her so well, and yet she found she liked him all the more for it. Somewhere in her mind a voice reminded her that she didn't like Potter, couldn't like him, but the way he was looking at her made her think that maybe it wouldn't be so bad, liking James.

In which James attempts to get Harry to eat his dinner with questionable methods so that Lily does not murder him when she gets home and hopes she has something else in mind entirely.

Date night at the Potters' cottage in Godric's Hollow. Domestic Jily fluff.

In which Lily is distracted by James, and finally decides to do something about it.

Lily discovers she is pregnant and has trouble telling James - for Jily week. Lily&James oneshot.

James doesn't want to be (just) a friend. Lily misunderstands.

To James, Lily is beautiful, but she'll never see it. Even as Lily starts to fall, she pushes him away. How can he make her see herself the way everyone else does, and keep her from self-destruction? WARNINGS: Anorexia/bulimia. M for adult situations (yes, that kind). Voldemort will make appearances and action will happen (remember he was thrice defied).

Lily intended to spend one night on James's pirate ship and leave with her purse a bit heavier. Now she's stuck on board, which might be less annoying if she could figure out where they were bloody going, if half the crew didn't suspect her of sabotage, and if she weren't falling for the captain. And why on earth is his cat wearing an eye patch?

Lily Evans is a nurse, working under the arrogant, emotionless Dr. Potter. However when one of his best-friends gets rushed to the E.R, will Lily realize that maybe this Doctor isn't so heartless after all?

Nazi Germany. Lily is brought to the Potter's household when she is twelve years old, to go into hiding. James doesn't take much notice of her until she is sixteen. But secrets can never be kept forever, and the consequences of this one being discovered can be particularly deadly.

"She was the pretty redheaded waitress who worked at the coffee shop across the street from his apartment, and he'd been absolutely besotted with her from the first day he walked in and saw her wiping the counter." Muggle AU. Lily works in a coffee shop and James is a fool in love. Rated T for a few small swear words. Cover art by burdge.

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.

Lily wakes up and James is gone. Not having any idea where he is, she enlists the help of Remus and Sirius (and baby Harry) to try and track him down. Unsurprisingly, they aren't much of a help. Jily. J/L Oneshot.

"Let's not fight" had become their motto. Over seven years, the friendship between Severus Snape and Lily Evans crumbled beneath its facade, leaving him bitter and she happy.

Lily and James's reactions to the idea of extending their little family.

A compilation of one-shots that examine a series of Lily Evan's and James Potter's interactions from their First Year at Hogwarts until beyond their Seventh Year. Each chapter is centered around a different "first" in their lives, such as their first kiss, first meeting, and first date.

In which much Jägermeister is consumed, Severus passes out, and Lily meets the maybe guy of her dreams. James/Lily; CambridgeUni!AU.

The rules were simple. Provoke each other. Scream at each other. Snog each other. Do this as frequently as possible, but don't ever, ever kiss and tell.

When a passage caves in on Potter, Lily's the only one around to save him - and this Head Girl's in danger of caving in herself. L/J

Potter was going to say that he wasn't my boyfriend. I couldn't let him do that. For the love of Merlin, I could not let him do that. I had to stop him. He couldn't tell her the truth. So I did the only conceivable thing I could think of. I kissed him.

Just a little bit of Lily/James fluff to start your week.

What she didn’t realize until after she agreed to go out with him was that these things were piling on his shoulders until he was hunched under the weight of the world and it was all he could do not to throw it off and watch it shatter.

Lily Evans's seventh year. Head girl. And sure, Potter as head boy was a drawback, but she could get over that. She had everything going for her--until someone ripped it all away. JL Angst--WARNING: Rape. COMPLETE.

Lily Evans has always, ALWAYS hated James Potter. So when they become Head Boy and Girl, nothing could be worse. But could working with him change Lily’s opinion? Has she been ignoring the truth in her heart all along?

Every so often a beautiful boy waltzes into Lily's life, and sweeps her off her feet. JL

Because really, he wasn't fooling anyone.

James is the pirate Captain of The Marauder. Lily is the daughter of a Duke. The two strike up a contract and the next thing Lily knows, she's on a Pirate ship, with one of the deadliest pirates after her. AU LilyJames Please read and review! Complete

Was this a date? Lily found herself thinking. They had planned a time and a place, and met to be together. No, not to be together, Lily corrected herself, to do work. They were here to do work. Lily was here to do work. Not to think about James Potter.

No one controls James Potter, not even Lily Evans. He doesn't take demands from anybody and she has no plans to remain his mistress. An ultimatum was given and a secret revealed but can they overcome their obstacles to at least agree on love?

Lily and James have been secretly dating for that past 8 months or so, when Sirius comments to James that he’s got this new fling, named Lily…

[One Shot] "You know he was someone special because she never brought one of her boyfriends home before."
