Lily Evans is constantly being annoyed and asked out by the smart-aleck, arrogant, no-good James Potter. She knows he's just teasing her, knows it's just a stupid crush he'll grow out of...right?

He hopes to win her over, and maybe even fall in love with her. Maybe one day, he'll finally get it right. (Lame summary is lame.)

NOT WORTH READING. ACCOUNT ABANDONED. GO ELSEWHERE.

Broom cupboards are never good. Why hadn't she realised that before? Oh yeah, cause she's an idiot. Lily Evans could of studied literally anywhere. But she chose a closet. The very same closet, which James Potter found her in. Who knew a broom closet could create such a fiery mess of hot gossip and lies hellbent on ruining her carefully constructed life? Yeah, Broom closets suck.

Lily was that cliché school nerd, and Sirius is that cliché bad boy who she happens to have a crush on. Will the school allow them to be together, or will something else get in the way? AU! And surprisingly, LilyxJames!

The one person that gets on her nerves is the one person Lily Evans must spend her last school year with in close proximity. How James Potter made Head Boy was an enigma to her. However, working closely with James makes Lily see a different side of him she never knew he had.

I know the truth, and so do they. James Potter is dead because of me.

She works at a bookshop, and she swears he's too daft to read, but he just keeps coming back. James/Lily. AU.

Prince James has found his princess, but their happily ever after ending isn't so easily achieved. AU

Who'd have thought that the man who tore them apart was the one who brought them together? Head Girl Lily Evans is determined to keep her distance from the Marauders but that's easier said than done when James is Head Boy and in love with her. It also doesn't help that she becomes rather attached to Sirius during an eventful Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson...

Sirius Black finds himself betraying his best friend, James Potter, as he falls for the wrong girl.

AU. A version of how Lily Evans and James Potter would have met if they were only two university students in a world where magic and Hogwarts didn't exist.

This is the story of James and Lily. Lily, a reporter for the Daily Prophet, and James, a Professional Quidditch player, become acquainted as Lily aims to write the story of the century. When secrets are revealed and hearts get broken, Lily is torn between her feelings and her job. AU James/Lily. I recently changed the rating to M, for language mostly (and later chapters).

Seven months after leaving Hogwarts, James Potter is fighting for the Order of the Phoenix. When Lily Evans joins the resistance, his life is turned upside down. He'd proposed, after all, and she had said no. How could they work together now, after so much history together? Or could they find another chance amidst the war?

He almost faints. It isn’t tension building up between them; it’s a mix of real unrequited love and some weird and twisted respectful disdain. “I’m sorry.” He says finally. And Lily resists the urge to throw up right there. “I’ll leave you alone."

As if James isn't having a hard enough time trying to pursue Lily Evans, Nigel Puckle - A first year boy - suddenly fancies Lily and seems to find a way of getting on James' last nerve. LILY x JAMES. Romantic Comedy! Watch James' jealousy rise.

This is a story about two people who bonded over coffee, became friends, broke each other's hearts and tried to deal with the aftermath.

James looked as though he didn't know whether to laugh or try to protect me. Obviously, he opted for laughing. LJ Oneshot.

Oneshot. James is leaving, and Lily doesn't know how to stop him.

“Are you coming?” James demanded. Lily raked her eyes over him with marked disinterest and rolled her eyes. “No.”' 7 years at Hogwarts, 7 years of Quidditch, 7 questions asked and only 6 refusals? Fluffy LJ oneshot.

Lily comes home after completing her last term at Hogwarts, dreading the prospect of living in the empty, transformed house of her childhood. Hardly one night passes, however, when she realizes she won't be as alone as she thought.

“I ruin lives, James. You wouldn’t believe it, but I’ve ruined yours too.” In a heartbeat, my feet are on the floor and I’m closing the gap between his arm holding the envelope and myself. “And hers.” L/J, AU, OOC.

Lily Evans swore she'd hate James Potter for the rest of her life and vice versa, but what happens when James moves in next door to her? Fights, friendship and most of all, the greatest love you could ever possibly have.

Lily Evans has been distracted lately…and it’s all because of James Potter and his stupid, unbuttoned shirt. Hardly any fluff, but plenty of shirtless James for everybody. Seventh year fic.
