We think we know someone, but the truth is that we only know the version of them that they have chosen to show us. There will be no further explanation, only reputation. (Slytherin!Lily/Gryffindor!James)

Lily Evans in no way fancied James Potter, that was a fact. The pair becoming friends was shock enough but Lily having an actual crush on him? Hell would have to freeze over first...at least that's what she thought.

31st October 1981: Lord Voldemort is dead. The world is full of chaos, fear and grief. James and Lily Potter, who ended this war, have a life to repair.

It wasn't supposed to end the way it did. And we all know exactly how it ended. Had things been different, they would have lived a long, happy life together, with three children and a cat. But had things been different, they might have never fallen in love in the first place. Or maybe they would have. Jily fic. Rated M for much later chapters and for mature themes. I own nothing.

Before Harry, before Godric's Hollow, before the Dark Lord was defied three times... Lily Evans and James Potter discovered that neither of them were what the other had expected, and embarked on a relationship that would change the world as they knew it.

Have you ever regretted making a decision? Have you ever had a choice taken away from you? What would you do if you suddenly found yourself alone and struggling to survive?

She fights for a world she hates as much as it hates her. It never stops; not until the world of magic burns to ashes to be reborn, or destroys Lily Evans and all caught in her wake. (UNFINISHED/ABANDONED)

How does Lily discover her buried feelings for James Potter? Picks up from James's and Lily's 5th year, shortly after Lily ends her friendship with Snape.

A hasty decision and a bet they never should have agreed to result in James and Lily spending a lot more time together in October of their 7th year than they ever anticipated. A story of growing up, identity, and falling in love.

Lily Evans in her last year transferring to Hogwarts from Drumstrang. She meets the Marauders and new friends. What happens when her haunting secrets are discovered? L&J Rated for language and some adult content

3 years after Hogwarts, James and Lily are back with old and new friends by their side. Their lives are motivated by fear, their world surrounded by immense danger. As they each fight for their lives and for their loved ones in a world centered around Voldemort, the struggle to survive the war against him is nothing compared to the struggle to survive the wars within themselves.

Lily Evans has problems. An ex-best friend. A sister who... is Petunia. A guilty conscience. She's determined to change. She's going to be fun. But fun is getting harder to come by in a world heading to war. If only she could be as reckless, and self-assured as James Potter and his friends. But they're changing too, and Lily's no longer as sure of the world as she once was.

Professor Potter and Head Girl Lily Evans... The Dark Decline

James Potter. Mr. Immature, Mr. Gross, Mr. Pervert,… Mr. I-want-to-lick-melted-chocolate-off-your-Quidditch-toned-golden-six-pack-and-watch-you-moan-WHAT! No. No. No. This is why going to Quidditch games is bad for your soul. It makes you pervy.

Their journey may have only been ten years long, but to them, it was a lifetime. This is the story of Lily and James Potter from their first year at Hogwarts all the way until the tragic day they lost their lives. Multi-Chapter. Rating is for later chapters. L/J with lots of Marauders thrown in.

In the end, we were merely children playing at adulthood. It was as if we were still running around the back garden making a game out of war. Only now, words made things happen.

After Severus Snape called Lily Evans a mudblood everything changed. This story follows Lily, James, and Severus from that fateful afternoon until that night at Godric's Hollow

"You're a pretty, innocent-looking young witch. You could get away with anything." As an obituary writer and spy for the Order of the Phoenix, Lily looks to her past to keep the part about innocence at least partly true. LE/JP, set in 1979.

Moments. They make or break relationships. Lily didn't just happen to fall in love with James. It wasn't an accident, but a long drawn out process that grew out of the relationships of the people around them. And when it came down to it, even Lily and James couldn't fight fate.

Lily Evans has spent years despising James Potter. He has spent just as long worshiping her. When seventh year pairs them Head Boy and Girl, each comes to realize that their judgment isn't quite what they thought it was. This is the same story that was over on Checkmated, but I completed it here. Prequel to Heroes for Ghosts. Warning: this story is a strong M rating.

"We don't deserve her," the Head Boy answered thoughtfully. "None of us do. Not even me. Not because she's perfect. She's not. Sometimes I think she's even more disastrously flawed than the rest of us combined. And not because she's beautiful, even though she is. Certainly not for being lovely because she never was.We don't deserve her because she's so much more than we'll ever be"

She was dramatic. He was dynamic. She was precise. He was impulsive. He was James, and she was Lily, and one day they shared a kiss, but before that they shared many arguments, for he was cocky, and she was sweet, and matters of the heart require time.

Lily has always considered herself ordinary. But as she enters her 7th year, things start changing and Lily starts going a bit mad. Suddenly, she's Head Girl, her mates are acting strangely, and there's a new James Potter she can't seem to get rid of. PRE-HBP

When Lily realizes that not only does she not hate James Potter, she actually might want to be with him, is she too late? James has decided to move on but can he really leave Lily in his past? With loveon the horizon and a war looming can this destined pair find each other after years of fighting? Rated for my tendacy to give in to my theatrical nature.

This is another story of the marauders and the love lives of the group. This is in no way related to The Legacy Series. It is entirely different. Come with our four favorite Howarts trouble makers into traps, tricks, pranks, classes, quidditch and the scary world of the female mind. Broom closets beware none of you are safe. Rated because I get carried away sometimes...

17 yr old Lily Potter wakes up in St. Mungos with no memory of the past 6 months and a new habit of seeing dead people.

Lily genuinely liked James Potter. He was handsome enough to make any girl swoon, but he was also funny, clever, and secretly kind.
