Lily has been avoiding James, and she's been doing a find job of it considering that he always seems to know where she is. Who cares if she told a little white lie and now the entire school is gossiping about James? That doesn't mean that he should be hunting her down and demanding answers from her. Honestly, how dare he.

Summary
At eleven years old, Sirius Black has known little beyond a sheltered life of the pureblood elite. He is desperate to escape his oppressive house and vicious mother.

From the moment the Sorting Hat is lifted from her head, Lily Evans knows nothing but the need for survival.

AU & headcanon-oriented time travel. A freak cauldron explosion leads the Marauders, Lily, and Sev hurtling forward into the future where they come into contact with Harry and friends during their 5th Year at Hogwarts. Alternating POV's. Anything is possible. Lots of silly shenanigans, but also an emotional rollercoaster.

Harry held his breath.
The following fraction of a moment felt like a heartbeat split with an eternity—unstable enough to simultaneously rattle and soothe the collective consciousness.
A boy of Harry's height and frame stepped through the portrait hole. He had round spectacles, a long nose, and dark hair that stuck up in all directions.
"Wow!" Fred and George exclaimed in unison, looking between Harry and James. "You're identical!"

Summary
He felt her pain in ways that made the cores of his bones ache, but by the end of it, she glowed. She beamed and laughed and cried happy tears that made her shine. Harry squalled and squirmed as she held him close to her chest, crying and sobbing and falling heavily against James, and the weight of both halves of his heart leaning against him made him feel like he was finally complete.
Like falling in love all over again.
In the first few weeks after Harry's birth, James tries to recover from the trauma of the delivery. To help him are moments of domestic bliss, happily married life, and mad, chaotic friends who will spoil the hell out of his beloved son.
