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!
