Summary
At eleven Lily had found a magical world and fallen into it, headlong, like Alice down the rabbit hole. That story might be a great deal less charming for Alice at twenty-five.

Summary
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw his tall, broad-shouldered frame and the perpetual glorious chaos of his hair passing by the window. Something rose up between her ribs and expanded out into her chest, a flower whose seed had laid long dormant, planted under summer skies and watered by a smile that had once made her blood boil and then made it burn and—
Fear, or something that should have been fear, slid down like sweat on the back of her neck. It occurred to her then, though it should have occurred to her far sooner, that this—seeing him again—might be dangerous. That where it might be safe for her to think of him like other married women thought of Cary Grant or Clark Gable, having him in the same room as her might pitch her over lines she couldn’t cross.
-or it’s the 30s, James is a barrister, Lily is married, and the only thing that will distract them from their mutual longing is fixing Britain’s family law system.

(Didn't I?) (Didn't I?) Didn't I See You Crying? by ritaskeetered

Summary
James Potter has fancied Mary Macdonald for as long as he can remember. Everything about her is practically perfect, except for – if he were being honest and he always liked to be – her choice in friends. For Mary’s best friend, Lily Evans, is a right shrew and, much to his dismay, the Head Girl to his Head Boy.
Lily Evans had disliked James Potter with a passion after their first interaction on the Hogwarts Express. A dislike that turned into hate – never mind that she also has an infatuation going, but no one needs to know about that – as soon as he decided to make her life a living hell. Unfortunately for her, he also decided (a few years earlier) that her very best friend in the world was the worthy object of his affections. (Which was fine, really. She wasn't about to cry over it, for Godric's sake. She was a strong and independent young woman, thank you very much. And yes, perhaps she was a little in love, but it was all for nothing, so she had to keep calm and carry on.)
Certainly, their complicated past would result in major disaster if common ground was not soon established. For the love of Merlin, though, why did either of them think it would be a good idea for Lily to help James woo Mary Macdonald?

Summary
When the petal touched the ground, the lush grass turned to flowers, the flowers to fruit and the fruit to faeries.
Lily stole away from the eternal land of Faerie just once. It was supposed to be once. A glimpse, a taste of the mortal world, a dash away.
The bold, beautiful, grinning man she meets in an ancient cathedral has never believed in following the rules.For efkgirldetective's summer of jily prompt #10: flowers + you're the only thing i'll wait around for
