Everyone who reads Harry Potter or watches the movies know that Lily and James are his parents. But how did he ever get Lily? It was a known fact that Lily hated James and James loved Lily. He was everything she hated about guys: Cocky, arrogant, a pain in the neck, and a troublemaker. But what if there's more than to James than all of that. Lily finds an unlikely friend and that carries a burden heavier than most. Just how long can this friendship truly last before it becomes something more? War is coming and with betrayals and loss, can love really be found? Before you read: This is more of a marauders fan fiction. I've written it to revolve not only on Lily and James' relationship, but their relationship's with the people around them. Also, thanks for giving it a shot! :)

[EDITING] "Evans!" James grinned, strutting towards her. "Fancy seeing you here, and I'm here too, with you-not with you-but both of us... at Hogsmeade." "Bloody hell," she muttered, withdrawing from her hiding place. The loud thwack of her head colliding with the wood of the table cut through the bubbly pub. James let out a snort, flung his cloak lazily onto a chair across from her and sank down into it, sipping happily at his butterbeer. "Whatever were you doing down there, Evans?" He raised his eyebrows suggestively. "Shove off, Potter..." James Potter was an intolerable prick. A dim-witted, egotistical toerag who wasn't worth Lily's time. Well, unless, in the case of a good telling-off, that was very much worth it. This was true right up until the last few weeks of fifth year when her whole life was flipped on her head, and she was left to work out what in Merlin's name to do with it. ▸ Beta-reader @lemondotboy ▸ Chapters: 17 (plus introductory chapter and prologue) ▸ Words: +60k THIS WORK IS CURRENTLY BEING TRANSFERRED TO AO3 "This story is really good and perfectly portrays James and Lily's relationship..." @Of_Rains_and_Storms [ONGOING] [HIGHEST RANKS] #1 - jily #1 - lilyandjames #1 - jilyfanfiction #1 - maraudersfanfic #1 - jamesandlily #1 - lilyandjamespotter Enjoy!

[Previously titled: James Potter and Lily Evans • JILY] ••• Lily Evans didn't expect a lot of things when her seventh year rolled around. She didn't expect to become James Potter's friend. She didn't expect to find him slightly attractive. But mostly, she didn't expect to even fall in love with him. Maybe it was love at first . . . who knows? ••• [COMPLETED] [HIGHEST RANK - #5 in Jily]

Lily stopped walking, and he stopped a few steps ahead of her. "She knows." Lily said, her head bowed. "She knows that he loves her." He turned around to face her and she looked straight into his eyes, which held a melancholy kind of longing. She knew it was now or never. She couldn't lose him. Not now, not ever. She had promised to herself that she wouldn't let him go. "And she loves him too." There were many reasons why James Potter and Lily Evans fell in love. And Harry was just one of those reasons. No, it was not their son Harry James Potter. It was just Harry. Ever wondered why James and Lily named their son Harry? Maybe, they too, like Harry, decided to name their child after someone. But who was this Harry they named their son after? Read on to find out. Weekly updates.

I take her head in my hands, and do what I've been wanting to do for as long as I can remember- I press my lips to her. It's better than I could have ever dreamed it would be. Her lips are soft and mold perfectly to mine. The smell of vanilla is so overwhelming it's staggering, but I can't bring myself to care because it smells like Lily. I'm kissing Lily Evans. This a kind of sequel to my story Ephemeral. It's the same story just through James' point of view. (Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters, other than the ones I make up.
