Summary
James made a beeline for her, rounding the corner where she stood by the kitchen island, red hair falling messily over her shoulders, wearing his Puddlemere jumper and her old primary school hockey trackies he transfigured to fit her summer of sixth year when he visited Cokeworth.
She looked beautiful, James forgot she was his again.
Forgot that she had left and come back, that she was here to stay, that she’d promised to never go again.

Summary
The Seventh Year Gryffindors are enjoying a harmonious evening of essay-writing, reading, and academic despair in their famously reserved spot by the Common Room fire when the pitter patter of far smaller feet rounds the corner of the large crimson sofa.
Lily Evans, Head Girl and well known doter on sweet First Years, turns her attention to the mop of dark hair that comes to a stop by the sofa’s armrest.
Opening her mouth to ask if she can do anything for the young boy, he lets out a little squeak of a greeting to the older boy sitting across from her.
“Hi Mr Potter!”
James promptly chokes on the pumpkin juice he’d nicked from the Kitchens.

Summary
It’s perfectly normal to miss a friend over Christmas. She tells the girls she’ll miss them every December when they all part ways for the holiday. It’s normal, it’s healthy, it’s expected.
What Lily realises is slightly unhinged is missing someone who is not only a fairly recent friend but also still in front of you.
But she can’t help it apparently.
***
Lily Evans and James Potter have a candid conversation about missing each other over the Christmas break.

A breathy laugh escaped her as she moved to sit on the edge of his bed.
“Visiting you obviously,” she said. “Idiot,” she fondly followed up with.
***
James Potter lands himself in the Hospital Wing. Lily Evans is emotional about it. It ends happy.

Summary
Sometimes, a one-night-stand with a guy off Tinder is just that: a one-night-stand. No lasting feelings, no strings attached. It's the kind of thing that's easy to get your head around when you're trying to get your heart around the end of a relationship.
Sometimes, it's not that simple.
Sometimes, you're a journalist, and you get assigned to write a piece on an up-and-coming restaurateur, who just might be that one-night-stand from Tinder that you can't stop thinking about. And sometimes, to make matters worse, the two of you get snowed in...
****
Or: Lily shags James, and thinks she'll never see him again. Right? Wrong.

Summary
“Think ‘m sick…” She grinds out painfully.
“You know, you might just be onto something there Lils,” he teases back. She shivers, the cool tile seeping into her bare legs and James seems to recall that she’s only in her underwear.
He helps lift to her feet and wraps an arm around her waist, supporting her trembling frame as they move slowly toward her bed. She grits her teeth as she drops down onto the mattress hard, aches rocking through her feverish body. The sound of fabric rustling draws her gaze up to where James is stripping off his own sweatshirt to pull it over her head. It’s utterly perfect, warm from his own heat and large enough to tuck her hands into the sleeves. She feels tears threatening behind her eyes at the sheer thoughtfulness.
Or, Lily gets taken down, hard, by a fever and doesn't realize until it's too late. James is there to make it all better.
