Lilies That Fester by Realmer06 reviews
He makes no sense, and you hate it, but you can't hate him because every once in a while, this decent person shines through. And in a lot of ways, that just makes it all worse. A reflection of James Potter.

Bye, Bye, Goodbye by Wilhelmina Willoughby reviews
L/J. It's the most twisted love story: unrequited, unknown. Maybe she deserves it. She gave it up, after all. It was hers, always hers, but she pushed it away and now she can only watch it given to others. She broke him. And that's what haunts her.

Right Kind of Wrong by Wilhelmina Willoughby reviews
L/J. Kissing James Potter in the middle of the common room is wrong, so wrong, but Lily gives up. She hasn't slept in two days and her brain is obviously delirious, so she releases hold of it and it clicks off like a light switch. Nox.
