my fics:

The Things We Carried / M, slow-burn, (mostly) canon compliant Jily WIP. When Voldemort's followers murder seven Muggle-borns in broad daylight, Lily Evans and James Potter must question lifelong friendships and confront long-held prejudices as the Wizarding world reaches a breaking point. What is justice, and how far will they go to seek it? This is Book 1 of a planned 3-part series, covering Lily and James's fifth year. fic tag for updates/ramblings/snippets/asks: ttwc fic fic playlist (contains spoilers) cover art by @dreaming-irl-sleeping / lilith11

my metas/analysis/posts about canon:

peter pettigrew & the prison of gryffindor identity deconstructing sirius black as a teenage lothario "my idiot brother, soft enough to believe them" did harry know what his maternal grandparents looked like? an investigation! snape & popularity pt 1 & 2

I'm also reading and really loving Through A Glass Darkly by lightinthehallway - it's canon divergent, and SO excellent. Speaking of canon divergent, I'm constantly rec'ing one more time now, with feeling by gigglesandfreckles.

Let me know if I can be more specific. Also, you know who is great at giving recs? @jilygems. I've found so many great fics through their blog.

I'm typing this out on my phone while at work so I'm very sorry if I've missed anything! Please leave recs in the comments if you have them <3 I also have a #jilyficrec tag on my blog if you want to peruse.

I think fic and meta should really like, take some (any?) acknowledgement of the stochastic terrorist violence against civilians that made up the vast majority of their actions in both wars.
