Summary
Lily Evans' sixth year ends with a bang: after accidentally witnessing classmate Peter Pettigrew transform into a rat, the witch is left drowning in conspiracy theories about the ever-so-mysterious Marauders, at the centre of which stands James Potter and his confusing character. Much more so after the bloke is appointed Head Boy to Lily's Head Girl. What follows is a final year at Hogwarts that upends Lily's tidy little world, forcing her to face fears and insecurities she'd worked very hard to ignore. Amidst a brewing wizarding war, a fight with her best friend, and the tumultuous start of an unexpected romance, Lily suddenly finds herself in the eye of the hurricane, having no choice but to make a decision that will forever change her life.

Summary
Lily needs comforting when she returns to Hogwarts for her 7th year, and James wants to be the one to provide it. Now, in addition to battling budding Death Eaters, they're battling a hundred different emotions (lust among them) as they try to figure out what they mean to each other and where they belong in the world.
Kickin' it old school-- Canon-verse (but with shared Head dorms, of course), friends with benefits, eventual romance. Some smut, not sure how much yet? Content warning: Parent Death, Grief/Mourning, Eventual Smut, Alcohol use.
Edited to add: So much smut. So much.- Language:

Lily let out a breath she didn’t know she’d been holding.
‘James,’ she laughed. ‘When a boy and a girl agree to grab a drink in Hogsmeade, they’re going on a date.’

Summary
Lily had known him for quite a long time now—James Potter and his weird hair, his desperate jokes, and those horn-rimmed glasses sitting on the bridge of his nose. He couldn’t help but make a fool of himself in front of her every single time.
But Lily had never once considered turning him down as "resisting," despite everyone else calling it that, talking about his charm and how cute he acted, how much he fancied her. He was...pretty resistible, really.
Until he wasn't, at least.

Summary
“Yes. I think it matters.” James is shocked at how soft his own voice is, but even more so at the pause in her footsteps. They’re quiet for a second, and then he hears them approaching.
“Why?” She asks, slowly, slowly walking back towards him, rejoining him at the wall. “Two more years at this place and nobody will care how many O.W.L.s we got last year or who was a prefect or Quidditch captain. Voldemort won’t care. This,” she gestures at the air around her, “won’t mean anything when we leave here.”
“But it means something now, doesn’t it?”
–
It is sixth year and everything has changed, everything is changing, nothing is the same, nothing is different at all.
This is a story of love and of loss (like every story that has ever been told), and of growing pains and growing up. Lily Evans, James Potter, Sirius Black, new friendships forged and old ones not forgotten, alone and not alone with their changing minds, falling in love and falling into place when the walls are falling down around them, everything is falling out from under them.
OR
A long form, slow burn, canon compliant tale of Lily Evans and James Potter, and all the people they love, have loved, have lost.

‘You are so exactly the person I thought you were, James Potter.’ That’s his girl, still so condescending even when she’s put down.
‘Yeah,’ he says, not looking back, ‘I guess I am.’Lily and James read History together at Balliol College, Oxford. Unfortunately, they just can’t seem to read each other for shit.

But we don't know about what happened because of the darkness that made them hide their love.

Operation Love Languages by Rebeccaseal for AnnaBtG

14 Feb 2026

Summary
“The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate? Moony, what in the name of Merlin’s crusty toenails is this?” asked Sirius, derisively squinting at the cover. “‘Mate,’ is that some werewolf shit?”
“I told you, it’s a Muggle book. I think it could help James. Listen, this bloke says there’s five ‘love languages,’ and they’re different ways of showing your love for someone depending on what’s important to them: physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time, gift giving, and acts of service. Our boy has been doing none of these, and look where it’s gotten him. He’s got to woo her.”
Love languages, James thought, sounded about as woolly as divination, but if they somehow helped him win Lily over, he’d do anything. He’d even probably attempt to fight the giant squid. Not bare-handed, though, he valued his life, lovelorn as it was.
OR—Lily has been unimpressed with James' efforts to win her over, so he tries a new tactic. A Muggle one.

Summary
The most unfortunate part about being one of the best students in the year, if you ask Lily Evans, is being forced to work alongside James Potter. The most fortunate part about being one of the best students in the year, if you ask James Potter, is getting opportunities to annoy Lily Evans. The fact of the matter is, that despite their both being talented, intelligent students with bright futures and burning competitive streaks, Lily and James will never get along. No matter how much others think they ought to.
