Another one shot collection. Canon ships, perhaps non canon settings.

The only thing that can save Lily from linear algebra are her famous cookies and the hot next door neighbor. Co-written with the lovely wonder-witch-weekly.

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.

For never was a story of more woe than this of James Potter, and his sad, pathetic attempts to win the heart of a girl who thinks he's a prize idiot.

There was a reason why Harry Potter was such a big Holyhead Harpies fan… and a big part of it had nothing to do with Quidditch. *AU* *Harry never went to Hogwarts* *Harry was raised by Sirius and Remus*

Lily hasn't seen James since she walked out on him five years ago - until, that is, she discovers his bakery on her Instagram explore page and, awkward or not, she has to go see about the mince pies that he's got all over his grid.

The relationship between James Potter and Lily Evans hasn't always been trustworthy, their arguments most often heated.

There were several times people treated them as girlfriends. [Gender AU- F/F]

The first mistake Lily Evans made was thinking that no man could possibly add up to Guy Patterson. The second mistake was moving in with the guy after answering his roommate wanted ad. Muggle AU

"Ginny should have known that the day she crossed paths with Harry again, her world would turn completely on its head. Maybe if she'd known it was coming, if she'd been mentally prepared, then this mystifying run-in wouldn't have revealed her to be such a madwoman. As it was, he had just thrown her out of a pub, so there was that." Amnesia AU

It's too far out of her way and she's wasting so much money, but Lily can't help but return to the bookstore every weekend, where her passion for good literature has, perhaps, been unexpectedly reignited by the messy-haired, pun-making, rather handsome bloke who works there.

After a strong (and morally questionable) first series on her part, she's been given the chance to work with this year's bachelor, James Potter. Unfortunately for James and Lily, these things hardly ever go as planned.

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.

Early one December morning, James and Lily find out that they're going to have a baby. James spends the next nine months nesting so hard that it's a wonder Lily doesn't kill him.

Lily Evans is taking her primary school class to the Natural History Museum for a tour - they're colossally late and her kids are driving her a bit mad, but luckily their tour guide is fit.

"Well, I'm not asking you to say anything, Evans," James retorted, apparently oblivious to their potential audience, "I just quickly wanted to talk about-" Lily held up a warning hand and hissed, "I'm not talking with you about *that*!" ***A classic tale of Jily***

He passes her the cardboard box and their fingers brush again only this time Lily doesn't pull away so quickly.

Lily Evans has just opened a new cafe which serves models, musicians...and Royalty, apparently. Jily AU, Royalty Jily.

At the turn of 1977, the War is at its peak. Death tolls rising, soldiers on both sides breaking, and hope failing. Imagine all of that going on in your world and also being a hormonal seventeen year old at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There has to be a little time for mischief, right? Jily, BlackXMcKinnon, RemusxDorcas. M for language, sex, and violence.

Nine months, two separate baby showers, countless doctor's appointments, flicks and kicks from the inside, the fake baby project from high school could not have prepared Lily Potter for the moment she met her son for the first time. Companion piece to The Parental Project.

Lily Evans finds herself in a Prank War with James Potter. College AU

A Marauders and Jily/Lames story starting with Snape's Worst Memory. This is a story about them having fun and fighting off the dark arts and the coming war. This is a long story, not quick fix.

Lily and James have been best friends since they were kids. Uni, a band, a trip abroad, a few tours and a couple of albums later, things start to change. Half an email fic, half a regular ol' narrative. **Formatting is fucked on FF, so I recommend you go read this on AO3 (same username)**

Every night Harry sneaks out of the castle and meets up with George Weasley so they can make it through the night together. Fem! Harry/George

There are those who claim that Lily Evans couldn't possibly love James Potter as much as he loves her - including, on occasion, James Potter himself - but they couldn't be more wrong if they claimed that the moon was made of cheese.

She really, truly, couldn't stand the boy. Narcissistic and arrogant, he was everything she despised. So why, then, did she find herself so addicted to him? Starts off as 5th year ends, will go through 7th year. More plot than just Jily. Rated T for occasional swearing and suggestive content. This is as canon as humanly possible. I mean, Siriusly.

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.

"Yes, thank you. You've saved me from a load of embarrassment." Ginny answered, as she righted herself and turned around. The man's hands were still close, making sure she didn't topple again.

Extreme Ron-bashing!
