How does Lily discover her buried feelings for James Potter? Picks up from James's and Lily's 5th year, shortly after Lily ends her friendship with Snape.

"The way she babbled on about the place made it seem like some sort of promise land, but James knew full well that is was nothing of the sort. Sowsworth was a wasteland that comprised of seven shops, a pub, and the incredibly bored shadows of lonely people. It was not bloody Shangri-la." AU.

You mean to say that Potter's family is coincidentally staying across the street from our beach house for the summer, Mum and Mrs. Potter are now randomly best friends, and they expect me to hang out with that git for two months? You've got to be joking. (Even worse? There's a sequel.)

"We don't deserve her," the Head Boy answered thoughtfully. "None of us do. Not even me. Not because she's perfect. She's not. Sometimes I think she's even more disastrously flawed than the rest of us combined. And not because she's beautiful, even though she is. Certainly not for being lovely because she never was.We don't deserve her because she's so much more than we'll ever be"

She was dramatic. He was dynamic. She was precise. He was impulsive. He was James, and she was Lily, and one day they shared a kiss, but before that they shared many arguments, for he was cocky, and she was sweet, and matters of the heart require time.

Lily has always considered herself ordinary. But as she enters her 7th year, things start changing and Lily starts going a bit mad. Suddenly, she's Head Girl, her mates are acting strangely, and there's a new James Potter she can't seem to get rid of. PRE-HBP

All Right, Evans?, Part II [7th year]: "As in all wars, life goes on." -HP/HBP

"Leave her ALONE!" A deep voice boomed. Bright blue light hit Severus and he fell to the ground. I sighed in relief and stepped closer to my savior. He came out of the shadow, and the moonlight revealed the unmistakable hazel eyes. It was James Potter!

"His name was Terrence Hunter, muggle-born and all kinds of perfect, but Lily couldn't help but note the lack of callouses on his fingers, the way his brown curls crowned his kind face a little too immaculately, the way his eyes were of the wrong hue…how there wasn't a pair of spectacles for her to remove before he leaned in to kiss her." Three-shot. JPLE.

With job applications due in less than a week, James Potter struggles understand the stupidity of society, Lily Evans is forced to make decisions she had never considered necessary, and Albus Dumbledore leaves them both confused. One-shot.

What Mr. Evans found most intriguing about the situation was that Lily believed they didn't notice. She thought Mr. Evans didn't notice her sneak out the house, or that Mrs. Evans didn't notice how quiet her once vivacious daughter had become, or that Petunia didn't notice how she never read that newspaper at the table anymore. Lily was brilliant, but the Evans' family wasn't dumb

Part I of in-progress trilogy [6th year]: The thing about being Lily Evans and James Potter was that you couldn't do anything without everybody else saying something about it.

James tries out some romantic nicknames for Lily.

So here it is: the story of my friends. Perhaps if you can begin to understand them, however minute that understanding might be, perhaps you'll also understand why their absence is such a tragedy.

"There's something you have to realise about a boy who buys you sweets that taste like torture, fights a branch duel for your honour, or lets you dribble on his jumper: a boy like that should never be ignored."
