Harry won the war. It's months afterwards and unexpectedly, he's literally picked up off the face of the world and shoved into another. One where Harry Potter died a long time ago. Where the Potter family's still fighting a war against a Dark Lord that's ruling the world one muggle murder at a time. They say he's their only hope. Harry doesn't really want in.

"So if its words that you are looking for McKinnon, I am fluently gifted with the art of speaking.

When James is first handed the train ticket, his immediate reaction is to laugh openly in his father's face. [Muggle Train AU]

There are lots of ways to introduce oneself to a new neighbour, but breaking into their flat, perhaps, is a road less travelled.

It's too far out of her way and she's wasting so much money, but Lily can't help but return to the bookstore every weekend, where her passion for good literature has, perhaps, been unexpectedly reignited by the messy-haired, pun-making, rather handsome bloke who works there.

When James Potter goes undercover as an Auror and is unable to be reached by anyone, his friends create a trap that ends with James' girlfriend Lily Evans standing at an altar in a white dress with a man that is most definitely not James. (jily AU)

Or ninety-nine times James asked Lily out and the one time she asked him. It's James and Lily's seventh year of Hogwarts, and they're growing closer. But also growing is the threat of dark forces—is there time for romance when death is just around the corner? Art by Viria.

He claims to be looking for his wife and son, both cursed to Lily's world by a wicked witch from his magical world. Lily's own son Harry is enchanted immediately by James' stories and she finds herself thrust into a mysterious adventure that might lead to her own happy ending.

Oneshot. Answer to the prompt: Head Boy James is trying to keep his cool because some Slytherins are causing trouble and he doesn't want to hex them but Lily sails in to the rescue.

Euphemia Potter is the unequivocal boss of everyone, including and most especially her son, and if the sweet, bright-eyed redhead who frequents her coffee shop doesn't know that yet, she's about to find out.

A medley of unconnected drabbles focusing on James and Lily.

After calling her a Mudblood, Severus struggles with his intensifying desire for Lily Evans. But his fight to regain her friendship and earn her love is hindered not only by James, who takes up Dumbledore's special defence class with Lily, but also by himself. Can he succeed as the tension heightens between Lily and her two admirers? Or will Severus' mistakes spiral out of control?

A lot of things happened in those seven years. They came together from different walks of life, suffering much and gaining little. But, what mattered most was that they loved each other. This is their story of what happened underneath Hogwarts' roof, from that first day at the playground. DISCONTINUED.

It's going to take a grumpy blind man, dementors, and a patronus to make these two lovers agree that they're made for each other. Jily patronus 'soulmates' trope multi-chapter.

What if, when Harry was at the Mirror of Erised in first year, he managed to bring his parents out of it by accident? Not that he's complaining! James and Lily are back!

Voldemort has cheated Death one time too many. Now Death wished to collect. But he needs help. And so he calls on two who have passed beyond and offers them a deal: help him adn they get to live again. ON HIATUS til my muse for this genre returns.

Harry arrives back to the family tent at the Quidditch World Cup to find everyone eating breakfast, and Rita Skeeter's morning Prophet article hanging, framed, upon the nearest cloth wall.

It's 1976 and Hogwarts' N.E.W.T. Divination class can only see the homework in their future. Lily Evans and Sirius Black certainly can't foresee they're falling into friendship. What happens in Divination, stays in Divination.

My take on how Lily and James got together based on cannon I've pieced together from the books, JK interviews, and all the fun facts we've learned from Pottermore! I'm really busy but I will try to update at least once a week.

Imagine that one person that irritates, infuriates, & insults their way under your skin to the point where each moment with him or her becomes a pop quiz in self-control. Now, imagine that you've woken up in that person's body. For Lily Evans & James Potter, learning to navigate this unfortunate and stressful new reality is truly a walk through hell.

James Potter is an Addiction. A dangerous one at that too. And you know that. L/J.

There's power in all the choices we make. Allowing James to go out for one day, Lily changed the whole story. How would have been Harry's childhood with his parents around? For sure, not as safe as everyone imagined. Set pre-Hogwarts. Alive!Potters AU.

He must have seen her nearly every day for the past five years but there she was, looking at him with those wide brown eyes and now it was like he was looking at her for the very first time. How had he never seen it before? Sirius POV to "A Marauder's Guide to Falling in Love."

A collection of James/Lily oneshots - a mishmash of prompts, odd ideas and AUs - previously posted on my tumblr.

What would Harry's life have been like if his parents had survived that night? What if Lilly and James had been knocked into a deep deep magical coma? What if they were found unconscious and not breathing, so everyone presumed they were dead? What if by the time St. Mungo's found out that they were both alive the entire country thought they were dead and - full summery inside - AU

In the end, it was all thanks to quidditch. Quidditch had brought them together; the captain and the commentator. (canon-jily)

James Potter. Mr. Immature, Mr. Gross, Mr. Pervert,… Mr. I-want-to-lick-melted-chocolate-off-your-Quidditch-toned-golden-six-pack-and-watch-you-moan-WHAT! No. No. No. This is why going to Quidditch games is bad for your soul. It makes you pervy.

What's your favorite hair color? What's your greatest fear? What's your favorite number? These may seem like simple questions, but simple questions don't always have simple answers. The Marauders begin posting polls on the notice board, and what starts off as an unimportant game for entertainment starts to bring two people closer together. Guess who?

A collection of random little one-shots in the spirit of experimentation. Mostly Jily with some Scorose and a smattering of other pairings thrown in.

Lily & James are in their final year and they still can't stand each other; he is still hurting from when she rejected him but is too arrogant to show it and she is too proud to admit that she might have been wrong about him…

They say it's easier to run than to face your demons head on. It's easier to run than to face the truth. It's easier to run than to be human. They have no idea how right they are. When your world is nothing but lies and death how could you not run? Epic turned one-shot. Up for any who want to continue. Harmony. Challenge-fic. No rules or specifics. Have fun.

James reflects on the moment he got his Head Boy Badge. Brief mentions of JamesLily.

Both were from completely different worlds. One from the world of magic and the other the realm of muggles. But both attended the same school: Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Their story is a long one that ends where it began: Platform 9 3/4.

James has been brought to brink. He's no longer a healer, Lily has grown distant, Harry is seemingly insane, and Willow has gotten a mysterious illness. What more could he take?

A specific moment, on a regular evening, that changed things for James and Lily. For Peggy!

'Lily lights the candles in the window and waits for him, a sudden painful stabbing sensation in her gut, because while she's been singing along to Christmas songs and draping tinsel over the room, he's been going through hell, as if they don't go through enough every day anyway.' Oneshot.

A short scene of what life may have been like if Voldemort didn't exist. Includes: James, Lily, Sirius and Harry.

But another part, a greater part, had never been more attracted to Lily Evans... - LJ novel, spanning life during Hogwarts & onward.

James's first Quidditch match as captain does not go as planned.

When Lily first met James and Sirius, she instantly thought of the evil stepsisters. They were both born rich, and mean and arrogant to boot. And yet, even at that young age… something about Potter bothered Lily. When she looked at him closely, she noticed that he utterly lacked the cruelty of storybook villians. But if he wasn't the villian in her story, what part would he play?

With Lily & James finally dating you'd think the Marauder's lives would be perfect, but they're still having issues, like a neglected Sirius, Moony dealing with his first ever girlfriend, and the plotting young death eaters…
