Let me set the scene for you.
Picture a massive and magical stage, a stage that is Hogwarts itself. Curtains are pulled back to reveal young witches and wizards in 1966 living and learning as normally as they possibly can in the times of war. Amongst them are our protagonists James Potter and Lily Evans. Whether or not the audience believes in true love does not matter, it's what these two grow to learn about one another that does. Romance isn't just reciting a script; it's going off-book and embracing your own character so that you are able to truly love the other. With some help from The Bard himself, James finds himself with something sweeter than a rose.

(lol Actual Plot Description: James has a Muggle Studies project for his 6th year final term assignment and decides to perform Romeo and Juliet with some of his friends. Obviously this is a Jily thing and tis  f l u f f  ^-^ so I hope you enjoy reading this little short story as much as I did writing it!)

|| Most of the characters belong to J.K. Rowling, the Romeo and Juliet quotes belong to Shakespeare, and the story + cover art were created solely by me (so please don't steal!) ||All Rights Reserved

Little Riddle | James Potter by anditivej

[ EDITING] James Potter was a skilled and talented wizard, his name a renowned one amongst Hogwarts students. Many knew him because of his outstanding Quidditch skills, most because of his infatuation with Lily Evans, but everyone knew he was a key member of the infamous Marauders that tormented the castle on a daily basis. Everyone thought he was an open book, easy to read, easy to keep up with. No one really understood how a chap as charming as James Potter would end up falling in love with Alexis Riddle, a renowned name in her own right, for being Lord Voldemort's little sister that is. But of course, James had always been cursed with having the worst of luck in love, and the fact that his loved one had been conceived under the use of a love potion proved so.

On The Platform (A Jily Fanfic) by tzwhite

Undying Love (A Jily Fanfiction) by Hyped_fangirl

WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK: I don't call eyes 'orbs' You love Jily enough to search for fanfics - James Potter and Lily Evans, two of the most talked-about people in Hogwarts. Their relationship was interesting, the cute green-eyed girl calling out insults at the cheeky Gryffindor seeker, the handsome boy always teasing the nerd and asking her out, meeting a defiant refusal every time. In Lily's eyes, Potter was just another boy who is arrogant, annoying and rude. However, with a startling turn of events, she may find out that James Potter is more than he meets the eye. James Potter regards himself as just another player. Lily Evans was merely another challenge. That girl frustrated him by being completely oblivious to his charms. How will he be able to win her over? Is it possible that Lily will be James' saving grace, pull him out into the light? On the other hand, can James break through Lily's mental shields and love her irrevocably, giving her the security and comfort she had never experienced before? For all we know, love is an interesting thing, changing lives long before we were born. Combined with magic, the lives of Lily Evans and James Potter are about to be changed. Excerpt: "You kissed me back." He finally broke the silence. "I did not!" "You did, I can tell." "Yeah, thinking about how much experience you've had with kissing girls just warms my heart." Lily folded her arms and looked away, fully aware that she was acting like a stubborn child, and fully intending to ignore that sinking feeling in her stomach. His hand reached out and tilted her chin so she was looking directly into his hazel eyes. "Are you jealous?" He looked dumb-founded. "No." She said, a bit too loudly. ~ ☆Please read, VOTE and COMMENT☆ (My writing stinks in the earlier parts, but I promise it gets better afterwards :D)

The Stag and The Harpy | James Potter by cantbelievethis420

"Potter," Phoebe says curtly. James frowns and says harshly, willing the odd feeling he has to go away, "Griffin, all of that stuff still doesn't make you pretty." She scoffs and narrows her eyes, "I could say the same about you. What's that in your hair, Potter? Flobberworm slime?" ~In which Phoebe Griffin and James Potter realize that there is a thin line between love and hate.~ James Potter x Female OC #1 James Potter-3/2/2021 #1 Marauders-3/5/2021 #1 Lily Evans-3/8/2021 #1 Remus Lupin 3/13/2021 {This is just a fun thing for me to write!! I'm sure I have some messed up facts and things but please be nice. I'm not fluent in French!! It's also a bit of a slow burn. If you want to skip, first kiss is the chapter "7 minutes"!!!!} MATURE

They belong to JK Rowling. If any of the characters are mine, I will mention it at the end of the chapter. Also, some of her characters, like Alice and Frank Longbottom are JK Rowling's, however I created their personalities but they are in no way mine! #5: Sexual Awakening [November 2021] Love, K∆LE.

My Romeo- James Potter by _Sasha_Writes_

"I will forever love you James, and you will forever remain my Romeo, even if it turns out I am not your Juliet." Fem!oc x James Potter Story is based in the Marauders Era This is my original story so please don't copy it i spent a lot of time and effort on this. Everything you don't recognise is mine the rest belongs to their rightful owners. *** So this is a rewrite of my book My Romeo, it will have some never seen before scenes and hopefully it will have less plot holes cause let's be honest the original version was all over the place.. Enjoy <3 Edit (2024): I wrote this fic like three years ago therefore it doesn't reflect my current writing style! The only reason I kept it up is because it started off my writing journey. So yes I know it isn't perfect! I know there's a lot of mistakes but I will not be touching this fic possibly ever again. Take it as it is or don't it's up to you x

Chase the Light | James Potter by April08030708

If there was anyone Eleanor hated most in the world, it was James Potter. So, now she's wondering how the hell she ended up dating him. --- ELEANOR BRIGGET was a force to be reckoned with. Powerful, pretty, and with a personality that could set off firecrackers, everyone she'd ever met could say she had left them with something to be remembered. She was the type of person who you looked for in a crowd; someone who was always surrounded by tons of people, and a girl who got along with just about everyone... Except for one person. James bloody Potter. After an incident on their first train to Hogwarts that spiraled out of control, Eleanor swore that she would hate the boy forever and that sentiment only grew stronger when he started harassing her best friend, Lily Evans, for a date. But, when the start of their sixth-year crescents on the horizon and Lily rejects James for the last time, he goes to Eleanor, desperate and with the craziest plan of his life: fake dating. With a future darkened by war, mysterious, magical entities forcing their way into her dreams, and an arrogant, messy-haired boy whom she is starting to love, Eleanor will have to choose what she truly wants and decide how much she is willing to give up. And James will have to decide which is more important: the girl of his dreams or the girl who he has already fallen for. At long last, this is the story of how two people, who once thought of the other as the scum of the earth, began living for the light they saw in each other, even when that light burned too bright. This is the story of how a woman fell in love with a man forever promised to her best friend. This is a story of a silly, little girl who wanted nothing more than to chase the light. Who wanted nothing more than the one and only James Potter. -------------------------------------------- [prelude to golden] [marauders' era]

Modern Marauders (Jily fanfic)(Completed) by lilytat

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!

Glimpse by RosesReality

When someone knows at first glance that the person now holding their gaze is special, there are a lot of moments that can unfold. Laughter and love, arguments or hatred - but maybe not for too long. Over the span of ten years, there were many moments shared between Lily Evans and James Potter, and there will never be enough time nor words to fully express the love that bloomed between them, the fights that occurred and the promises made. However, I will let you glimpse them - but that is all. For now, a peek is all that you will receive; after that...the rest is up to you. A short love story about James and Lily, because who can't help but admire a love so strong, and wish there was more?

Limerence | A James & Lily Story by episkeyyy

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. All rights remain to J.K. Rowling.) *Also, language is worse in this book than my other one because the marauders had potty mouths.* Story through Lily's eyes: Ephemeral by Episkeyyy
