    Summary

    “She hated him!”
    “Nah, she didn’t.”

    Except, for a little while, she really, really did…

    When Lily Evans meets fellow glaciologist James Potter on base in Antarctica, sparks immediately fly—but not the fun kind. It’s hate-at-first-sight.

    But the endless sun of an Antarctic summer leaves them with nowhere to hide. Then, when the unthinkable happens, they come to learn that maybe—just maybe—the person you can’t stand is also the person you can’t live without…

    ****

    Or: how to fall in love at the end of the world.

    Summary

    James catches sight of Lily then. She’s sitting at a table beside Marlene and Sirius on the other side of the restaurant, laughing at some joke he doesn’t hear; her smile is wide and carefree, her silver laughter infectious enough to make him smile, too, without ever hearing the punchline.

    God, he aches for her.

    ****

    Or: James and Lily spend Valentine's Day christening his new restaurant.

    Summary

    “Ask me,” he says softly.

    The room is so quiet, James thinks he can hear the sound of her heartbeat alongside his own.

    “Tie me up.”

    Summary

    “You deserve beautiful things.” It’s as though he can read her mind. James’ tone is low, and just bordering on the kind of bossy that makes Lily feel rather flushed. She presses her legs together. “I want to give you the things you deserve, okay?”

    “Okay.” Lily cups his cheek and runs her thumb idly over his lips. “Thank you.”

    “Can’t believe your girlfriend looks like she wants to vomit at the prospect of marrying you,” interjects Sirius through yet another mouthful of toffee, because he is apparently nothing if not deeply committed to ruining a moment.

    ****

    Or: Christmas Day at Peverell Farm is somewhat eventful.

    Summary

    “I think,” James says in that careful, irritating tone again, “that you and Marls sleeping with each other is only going to make this worse. That’s really the difference between what you’re doing now, and a relationship, right?”

    Sirius avoids the question. Instead he looks over his shoulder at James. “Maybe this time it’ll—“

    “You turn into nutters when you sleep together.” James gives him a piercing look. “You’re otherwise entirely rational, delightful people to be friends with, and the moment you start shagging, it’s like you’ve had personality transplants into the worst versions of yourselves.”

    “I fucking hate when you’re right.”

    ****

    Or: Sirius reflects on what the hell is wrong with him. James tries his best to help.

    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

    Oliver had fallen for her from the word go. Lovely Alicia, with hazel eyes that rivalled the sun, and the kind of Irish accent that could go from lilting to filthy just by dimming the lights. Everything about her had delighted him, captivated him. She’d danced through life with an astonishing lightness, a kind of unhurried, unselfconscious curiosity about all the people she met and all the things she encountered.

    -------

    Eight years ago, Alicia Spinnet disappeared from Oliver Wood's life without a trace.

    Now, she's back—and he wants answers.

    Summary

    Warm sunlight filters in through the kitchen window. It’s late on a Friday afternoon, and they’re expecting Neville to be home soon; the school year is almost at a close, and Neville’s often working late at the moment, trying to get everything done before his pupils go home for the summer and the baby arrives. Oh, the baby—Charlie can’t help but return to it. He never thought he’d be in such a position: waiting on his partner’s wife to have a child that none of them thought was even a possibility...

    Summary

    The voice that rouses him from his thoughts is decidedly more feminine than Remus expects it to be. “Room for me?”

    He looks up.

    There she stands; for a moment, it is as though the years melt away and Remus is seventeen all over again. Rosmerta is smiling down at him, a bottle of the elf-made wine in her hand. The two of them used to drink wine together all those years ago, too...

    Summary

    It’s a strange thing, watching your boyfriend marry someone else.

    Or, at the very least, it should be strange, Charlie thinks, as he cocks his head to one side and watches Neville push a ring onto Hannah Abbott’s finger.

    He should hate Hannah, shouldn’t he? Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do when the man you love loves someone else? Only, Charlie doesn’t hate her. Not at all. He’s actually still not sure how he got so lucky that the person he has to share Neville with is quite so wonderful.

    Summary

    James dumped two large teaspoons of sugar into his mug. “I said that my flatmate, oldest friend, thorn-in-my-side—“

    Marlene flipped him her middle finger.

    “—is an artist, and a damn fine portrait painter. Sirius asked for your number.”

     

    Or: how it takes painting a portrait for an art dealer and an artist to realise they've got more in common than they think.

    Summary

    James takes a second to process what has just happened.

    “Good,” he says to no one other than the night’s darkness and the hooting owls as he turns on his heel to follow Fleamont and Euphemia back to the house. “This was all very normal; well done, Potters.”

    Summary

    They treat it like it’s the last days of Rome, like the empire is crumbling. They’ll begin the rebuilding in the morning. For now, though, the world burns around them, and James only has eyes for that red hair and challenge in her gaze, his Lily. One day, they’ll live a life that oscillates between more than just sex and the threat of death, but not tonight.

    Summary

    “It was fortunate that James Potter’s new suit arrived just in time for him to ruin his life.”

    Or:

    It is 1872, and Wizarding London has begun to recover from a vicious, decade-long war with their non-magical neighbours. The Warlock’s Wall separates magic from Muggle, and beyond it lies a world where magic has once again been driven underground, and where bounty-hunters are on the look out for magical blood…

    James Potter makes a wager. Accompanied by the journalist he happens to be in love with, and the world’s worst valet, he must circumnavigate this wild and unknown globe in eighty day without magic… or die.

    Nothing too serious, then.
