Nothing's fair in love and war anymore. xx The sixth and seventh years. JPLE, MMSB, RLSB

"Everybody knew how to kill a witch, but nobody had ever told James how to ask one for a favour." James & Lily AU

A medley of unconnected drabbles focusing on James and Lily.

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.

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.

"The way she babbled on about the place made it seem like some sort of promise land, but James knew full well that is was nothing of the sort. Sowsworth was a wasteland that comprised of seven shops, a pub, and the incredibly bored shadows of lonely people. It was not bloody Shangri-la." AU.

Lily Evans is looking forward to summer - until she finds the Marauders, England's top-selling band, hiding in her barn. Now, she has to deal with rockstar egos, an unwanted admirer, and the dark force that sent them into hiding in the first place.

Prompt: Lily gets flak for dating James and gets sucked in to the belief that he's better off without her. She tells him she doesn't love him anymore, and after a while, she manages to make him believe the lie.

It may have taken him a while to get to this point, but James Potter is happy with his life; as the captain of the pirate ship Fawkes, no-one tells him what to do or where to go. But when he agrees to carry a passenger - for a fee, of course - his life takes a rather interesting and wholly unexpected turn, and the past may be about to catch up with him.

Bonds between brothers can break – but James Potter has never been one to give up and neither are the Marauders. How would the world have changed if instead of trusting Dumbledore, they'd trusted themselves? Maurader Friendship

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.

Against all odds – and his own better judgment – James Potter has landed the title of Hogwarts Head Boy. Now, with a slew of new responsibilities, and the threat of Voldemort looming, James Potter is closer than ever to finally winning the girl of his dreams. But with Lily Evans nothing is ever that simple.

"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

All Right, Evans?, Part II [7th year]: "As in all wars, life goes on." -HP/HBP

AU. Lily Evans isn't a witch.

Collection of short stories. Main pairing is Lily/James. Humor, romance, angst, sweetness.

AU. Edwardian. Lily Evans is a spirited young woman whose arranged marriage and domineering family has left her despairing. James Potter has never met her, but he's about to change her life.

After leaving Hogwarts, Lily has a job as a research assistant under a prominent Muggle-born scholar who is very politically active. When the scholar is suddenly missing, Lily is thrown into a whirlwind of emotion, paranoia, and fear. 2011 LilyJamesFest

In this extremely AU story, set in the Muggle world, we see the Marauders as a group of crime-fighting, spotlight-hogging, fabulously-styled superheroes. No, seriously.

Since the fateful night in sixth year, Lily and James had made no secret of their mutual loathing. But when their new positions as Heads forces them into unwilling cooperation, old wounds reopen and new truths are brought to light.

"The class of '77 is going camping!" McGonnagal announced in a falsely cheery voice. "With Professor Slughorn!" She glanced around before tacking on one last detail: "No magic." James fell down the stairs. R&R? Complete!

We all know James and Lily were Head Boy and Girl, but who said they were in the same year? This is an alternative universe type fic ie. not true to JKR's plot line. Enjoy!

"I think you're an arrogant, selfish pig, and I think you'd be doing both of us a favor if you just left me alone!" Potter stared at me for a moment, an unreadable expression in his hazel eyes, before uttering a single word: "Okay." J/L, Lily's POV.

Little snapshots into Lily and James' life, mostly after Hogwarts. Please review!

Abandoned by her best friend and suffering the torment of her hideous older sister - and her sister's hideous boyfriend, Lily Evans thought she was in for a boring summer. James Potter had other ideas.

James Potter has been away for four years, and Lily Evans has vowed never to forgive him for abandoning her. But now he's back, and feelings linger. With the war going on, can James Potter get back his old life before it's too late? Very slightly AU.

This summer was supposed to be peaceful. A few weeks away at my Aunt Rose's, in her quiet cottage in the country. Just minutes away from the beach. I could catch up on my reading, and my school work... and thats when a bludger came through my window. L/J
