Summary
It's 1975, and Lily Evans lives a double life.
At home, she's the Irish Catholic daughter of a union organizer in a dying industrial town. She smokes, drinks, and sneaks out her window to go to punk shows. At Hogwarts, Lily never puts a toe out of line. As a Muggle-born, she'd never give her pure-blood classmates any reason to doubt her.
James Potter has never had to be anyone but himself.
Why would he? Wealthy, good-looking, and intelligent, he knows he's lucky. But the war with Voldemort is bringing what's important into sharp relief. His aging parents have joined the Order of the Phoenix, and James longs to fight alongside them.
When Voldemort's followers murder seven Muggle-borns in broad daylight just before the start of their fifth year, tensions at Hogwarts reach an all-time high. Voldemort is recruiting from the student body, and the time has come to act.
But Hogwarts is not split between good people and Death Eaters, and old prejudices die hard. In dark times, alliances shift and secrets are revealed.
And maybe, through it all, Lily and James will fall in love with the person they least expect: each other.

Summary
The start of their sixth year at Hogwarts brings many changes for Lily Evans and James Potter. For Lily, she is forced to cope with changing friend dynamics, the aftermath of a traumatic relationship, and the growing tensions at home. She harbors grief and shame, and a burning desire to do something about the war brewing outside. James has had a summer of growing up. Not long after fifth year ended, his best friend showed up on his doorstep, broken and bleeding, and suddenly James was forced to come to terms with the harsh realities of the world outside his cosy life. And how much his three best friends really need him to keep them together.
As the pressure rises, the two start to see each other in a new light. They begin to find solace in one another, sharing sides of themselves they've never shared with anyone, and they fall in love. A love that creates new bonds, and nurtures courage. It's them at the frontlines of the war once they leave the safety of the school. And it's them who end it.
