Summary
When James Potter disappeared for ten days in the middle of the spring term of their fifth year, the whole school noticed.
He buried his parents in a quiet ceremony and returned to school amid outrageous rumors.
When Lily Evans disappeared for three days before the Christmas holidays in sixth year, two people noticed.
She found the house packed, a nasty note from her sister, and spent the rest of the holidays sleeping rough.
Both are left grieving and angry at Hogwarts over the summer, with no where else to go and war raging around them.
Really, how else could it have gone?

Summary
UPDATE Nov 2, 2024: I plan on reworking this series and reshaping this premise a bit more to suit the story I found myself wanting to tell, and consider this installment something of a first draft. Readers voted for me to keep this up so I am doing so, but just putting a preemptive warning on here so any newcomers will know, this will not be updated. Excited to get you all the new and improved version!
"This girl — who just might be the most beautiful creature I've ever laid eyes upon — also happens to be a bloody minx. She wants me to lose this game."
James Potter returns to England — and British Quidditch — after a four-year stint in Italy, desperate not to let down his childhood team. A chance meeting is about to make his rookie season a good deal more complicated.

Summary
“Till death do us part,” she concluded, all air sucked from her lungs. Her fate signed, sealed and delivered. As the priest spoke his final words, she found herself ensnared in her adversary's gaze, trapped by the weight of it, her mouth opening as she spoke under her breath - almost subconsciously: “Let it be quick.”
A Jily Arranged Marriage AU in which Lady Lily never imagined she would fall for the husband she was forced to wed. Inspired by My Lady Jane.

Summary
James and Lily grew up next door to one another. Their bedroom windows giving them glimpses into the others life, and also offering prime opportunities to argue with each other over every little thing. They never figured out how to be friends when they were kids, but now that they've graduated from college and are home for the summer, they have a second chance to get things right.
