    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.

    Summary

    From the moment the Sorting Hat is lifted from her head, Lily Evans knows nothing but the need for survival. Her Slytherin housemates despise her for her blood, and the rest of the war-worn world is suspicious of her for what qualities a centuries-old hat saw in her at age eleven. Lily Evans is never enough. Until she’s given the chance to be. Until she is.

    Summary

    In February of 1983, a cataclysmic shift occurred in the wizarding world, plunging it into chaos. Four years later, revelations shake the core of James Potter’s new reality when, on a mission, he discovers another faction of the Order of the Phoenix — and with them, the woman he thought he’d lost forever.

    Now the two broken factions of the Order must team up to finish what they once started, while James and Lily work through four years of loss and rediscovery

    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)

    Summary

    Book 1 in The Prophet's Fable series

    Lily liked to believe (no, she insisted) that she could handle the visions. That if she just stayed calm and clever enough, she could outwit fate like it was an overdramatic entry in her diary, not a prophet's fable.

    The trouble was, fate didn’t seem particularly interested in being rewritten.

    And Lily (brilliant, stubborn, and slightly sleep-deprived) was both a Seer and a Muggleborn in her sixth year at Hogwarts. She sees it as a cursed combination, really, when all she wants is to kiss some cute boys, become Head Girl next year, and hold her friendships together without worrying she might someday dream of them all dying under her forced gaze.

    It was all a bit much for a girl who also kept having visions about snogging a certain boy with messy black hair.
