"I think the perfection of love is that it's not perfect."
Love is a scary, deep, vulnerable trap that is easy to fall straight into and once you fall it's hard to climb back out. James Potter has been in love with Lily Evans since day one. Severus Snape has been in love with her since before day one, since before she knew he was watching from the bushes. Sometimes it doesn't matter that someone claimed to hate that other person, sometimes it doesn't matter if you've loved for longer, because love is uncontrollable, and sometimes unattainable.
notes: I have tagged the story under 'snily', no snily relationship happens in the duration of this story. To design the cover, I used canva. Finally, just a reminder I don't own any of the recognizable Harry Potter.

Lily Lives On
LOSING IDENTITY: Welcome To My Mind (part 6) Severus manages to save Lily's life through an agreement with the Dark Lord. This story is an alternative to the Harry Potter canon, where Lily has deep feelings for Severus which, later on, turn into love. This story also seeks to make Severus Snape rise up to his full potential, personality-wise as well as magic-wise. Although I tried to portray SS as accurately (in terms of books) as I could, I am also well aware that if it were 100% accurate, then a functioning relationship with Lily would not be possible. Therefore, I made slight amendments in his behavior, only in details, just to make the relationship work. It is also to be noted that Lily Potter is not exactly a fragile flower in this story. She is powerful and can also be rough towards Snape if necessary. More chapters will be added over time. There are many hurt / comfort chapters as well as light-hearted chapters (starting with Worst Teacher Ever). I tried to turn the story into something little bit more than just a romantic Snily fanfic. You can come across neologisms such as "Slytherdor" or "the double patronus" and much more. The story is, occasionally, embellished with illustrations made by me (but don't expect those to be too brilliant). Some trigger warnings to top it up: anorexia, abuse, torture. Also, 1) don't read this if you think that Snape is a saint and Lily didn't try enough. Or do. Maybe this will change your mind! ;) 2) don't read this if you are the other extreme - Snape hater. In that case, just don't.Complete
Modern Marauders (Jily fanfic)(Completed)
What I'm doing here is taking the Marauders' (James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter), Lily Evans', and Severus Snape's tales of Hogwarts and I'm turning them modern because I don't know what it would've been like when they were actually there so... yeah. This is mostly in the point of view of Lily Evans, but I might switch to James every now and then. I'm going to try and focus a lot of the Marauders, of course, and their relationships with Lily. And of course, Lily's relationship with Snape because let's be honest, we all ship it a little bit! This takes place in their sixth year so.... enjoy! COVER CREDIT GOES TO @HEROIQUES THANK YOU SO MUCH!Complete

The Boy with Glasses and the Red-Headed Girl.
This is a tale of young love, found between two people no one expected. But hoped by many. This is the story of James and Lily during their Hogwarts years (mostly 6 and 7). I did not come up with the characters or the world all of those rights go to J.K. Rowling and her very creative mind. Please do not copy or steal my story. I hope you enjoy my story.Complete

Destiny Or Destruction | A Jily FanFic
James Potter. Star quidditch player for Gryffindor. Black hair, hazel eyes, glasses, cocky, flirt, but he only has his eyes set on one girl, Lily Evans. Lily Evans.

A game of truth or dare quickly becomes a bet to see if James can get the girl, Lily Evans. He only has one week to see if his long time crush will go out with him. Will James and Lily make things official or will the bet and James' heart both be broken? Note: This is my own take on the story. Somethings may not be in the original timeline they happened. Completed: August 21, 2020.Complete
The Christmas Date
Now Lily Evans has done it. She's dead, her life is over. Why had she lied about having a boyfriend? How was she going to show up at her family's Christmas dinners without one? If she arrives without a lad on her arm, she might as well admit to being pathetic and desparate enough to invent an imaginary boyfriend. She refuses to be Petunia's laughing stock again this year, so she does what any sensible girl would do. She hires an escort to play the part.

Impossible Love
Ever since Lily Evans met the dark and foreboding young wizard named Severus Snape, she has always loved him. She has never understood why James Potter and the other so-called Maurauders insisted on treating him so terribly. Severus Snape has always loved Lily. She showed him kindness where others showed him only hatred and violence. But can she love a pathetic loser like him? What if Lily chose Snape? What if there were a different set of circumstances that led her to ultimately marry and die Mrs. Lily Potter, instead of Mrs. Lily Snape? Here is what I think would have happened if things had turned out slightly different for Lily and James. As always, your votes and comments are greatly appreciated! A big advance thank you to everyone!Complete
