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.

James makes Lily a simple offer. "Shag me and I'll leave you alone for the rest of the term." Of course, Lily refuses but the offer is always on the table...Will Lily give in? Will James sweeten the deal? RATED M.

When two people are destined to be together, there is no stopping it, no matter the...unfortunate...circumstances. So when Lily sits in class, watching her new Professor give a lecture...there is little she can do to control her newly found emotion. Rated M for adult content.

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.

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.

HIATUS. L/J. "The first duty of love is to listen." In arguing, neither gave up. But when James finally walks away and Lily is left standing in his wake, the echo of his silence ringing in her ears, something changes in her heart.

I was a horrid, horrid person. A miserable excuse for a friend. It should have been the easiest thing. Tell the boy you hate that your best mate fancies him. But I couldn't. Why? Because I fancied James Potter. Er...SINCE WHEN, LILY!

LJ. "They didn’t do it out of love. They were not in love, nor did they want to be. They barely knew each other. None of this was romantic, not even close. What they had together was purely business." R&R?
