Stella Mae - A Jegulus Fic

"You can't mess with me like this."

"I'm not messing with you. I know we're supposed to be stargazing, but all I can see is you."

Origin: Latin

"Being with me is a fucking adventure to you? That's what this is? Thrill seeking? Go recreational cliff diving or something like a normal person."

"You misunderstand me. You're not the adventure. You make mundane things the adventure. As long as you're here, I can't ever be bored."

. . .

"Did you love him?"

"Yes, Lily. I- I did. I'm sorry."

"Don't be. You love me now, right?"

"Of course."

"And I love you. It's perfect. See? It's okay to love and then leave someone and love again. Stop beating yourself up for it, you silly boy."

This story ends with intense angst. Endgame Jily, only because this is a canon-compliant fic. Be warned.

. . .

A budding romance between two should-be enemies that explores all the significances, pleasures and nuances of growing up, coming out and struggling with sexuality (both having to do with gender and with the sexual way in which one might present oneself) and day-to-day feelings. Such feelings do not only revolve around romances, but platonic friendships, deaths of loved ones, stress, exams, mental illness and social pressure. And of course, there's plenty of partying.

Note: Many instances and characters reside in that gray area between canon and headcanon. However, a few things in this story might not be canon, and I beg your pardon for writing such. I still hope you enjoy the story despite all this.

This story uses characters, objects, words, and places from the Wizarding World, a universe of J.K. Rowling's invention. All credit goes to her for these things, and I don't deny that, but I would like you to know that I do not support her transphobic behavior. It's just wrong.
