moon-bound ♤ wolfstar by TrippingMoon

After falling in love with Sirius Black once, Remus doesn't think he can do it again. The Marauders (plus Lily, of course) all moved in together after Hogwarts, so when the most responsible one announces his desire to go to America, it was a surprise. Of course, how can they say no to Remus? A sweet and fluffy (and angsty, who could forget? but if you've been reading my fics long enough you know i can't write a fic without the angst) fic in which the Marauders realize love isn't quite as far away as they assumed. // 2018

Portraits of a Flower in Bloom | Jily by jamseypotter

"Oh Lily, you really are amazing, you know that?" Lily sighed, same old James he was probably going to ask her out again in 3... 2... 1.... and... Nothing. Huh, she thought to herself, maybe he really has changed. James looked back at Lily and grinned, she quickly looked away and his face fell. I need to get her out of my head, he thought, she doesn't like me anymore, end of. No point in going after a girl who hates you anymore, who knows how much time we all have left. The door opened, and they both looked up. Prefects started filling the room, ready to start the new school year. Lily smiled professionally and James mimicked her, greeting and congratulating the other students. Before Lily started to speak, she took a last glance at James. He smiled slightly, his small dimples made him look so innocent and adorable. She breathed in and looked down at the paper in front of her, one thought protruding out from the rest, I will not fall in love with James Potter. --- In their final year at Hogwarts, Voldemort is on the rise, luckily though, Hogwarts is still safe... mostly. James and Lily are finally civil but Lily finds herself feeling something more that she can't keep denying. Remus is drowning himself in school work, blaming the upcoming NEWTs, but Sirius isn't convinced, could there be another reason for his constant avoidance? Meanwhile, a new arrival in school has easily made friends with all her fellow Gryffindors... except Marlene: determined to befriend the newbie, Marlene insists on spending more and more time with her. There could be more to all these friendships, but with the stress of NEWTS and a potential war on the horizon, will love blossom, or is it too dangerous to keep loved ones close? Mainly Jily, but wolfstar and Marlene x fem!oc slowburn fluff as secondary love plot lines :)

The Stag and the Doe by jamescow83

James always loved Lily, but she never really felt the same, that was until now. Watch as Lily falls for the last person she'd expect as the go through their final year of Hogwarts. Spent time at number 1 for Jily in Sept 2022 Note:Most characters are from JK Also, I do go back and check any spelling or grammar mistakes I've made The story does start out as first person and change to 3rd person. I do plan on making the story third person throughout after I finish the story.

All Right, Evans? by Firewreath

The thing about being Lily Evans and James Potter was that you couldn't do anything without everybody else saying something about it. This is one of my favorite JILY fic and is very popular. All events occur in 6th year. This amazing story is written by CokeBottleK. Have fun reading it! Best Jily Ranking 1
