    Summary

    He’d seen it coming. He’d known it from the beginning, some unconscious part of him recognizing the signs as they appeared before him, trying his best to find some other interpretation but always coming to the same inevitable conclusion.

    He’d tried to reassure himself through the years that she loathed him just as he did. But it wasn’t until now, as the feelings of betrayal and anger washed over him like Stinksap, that he wondered whether she’d ever uttered those words at all.

     

    Snape remembers all of the moments through the years where he suspected Lily might have fancied James back. Canon-compliant, Snape POV, set during Marauders-era Hogwarts years.

    Summary

    Lily's work as a librarian in the small village of Hogsmeade has kept her occupied for the past six years, forever keeping the wheels of the town on the track. As the holidays approach, she prepares to settle in with a nice mug of tea and a well-thumbed old book. When a new resident and his son arrive at her weekly story-reading, with cheeky smiles and big hearts, those plans are tossed out the window in favour of chasing love, for once - not escaping it.

    Summary

    James Potter was annoying and arrogant and attention-seeking and almost definitely playing some sort of elaborate joke on her, but... he was also occasionally funny, and spectacular, and fun, and loyal, and a whole host of other things. It takes Lily 7 years to uncover them all.

    A glimpse into the development of Lily and James' relationship, from second through seventh year; canon compliant. Companion piece to my other work, "She Didn't," but can be read independently.

    Summary

    On an ordinary Tuesday in October of 1975, James Potter passes Lily Evans a note. She has no way of knowing it, of course, but it’s the first note of thousands that will pass between them in the years to come. [companion-ish piece to Eighteen Again, but can be read separately.]
