“I need to tell you something,” he says, finally drops his eyes. “Something I should’ve told you a long time ago.” Equal parts of her feel dread and electric anticipation. Oh god, he’s going to reveal his crush, like he’s done any sort of job hiding it all these years. “No, James, I know what you’re gonna say.” “I don’t think you do.” Or, Superman represents hope. Lily Evans could use a little of that, as political tensions boil over, as readers of the Daily Prophet get increasingly antagonistic, but she doesn’t expect to find it so vehemently in her coworker, James. *inspired by James Gunn's 2025 Superman*

Lily Evans should be happy. She's an Olympic gold medalist figure skater, she's got her childhood best friend by her side, and she finally can give back to her family after all they've done for her. So why does she feel stuck?

James Potter should be happy. Once his NHL team, the San Diego Orcas, turns around their losing streak they're sure to be Stanley Cup contenders. He's on top of the world, but there's something missing.

That missing piece might be in the next practice rink over.

They fit together so perfectly, two pieces of a puzzle, a comfortable reminder of what she’s got, rather than what she’s lost.

It's a quarter past four in the morning after a rough Order mission, and James and Lily can't sleep.

☀️ Slap some sunscreen on, we’re celebrating the inaugural Sun-kissed Lily Evans Summer!☀️

Think tanning topless on a rooftop, summer induced freckles on the collarbone, wet t-shirt contests in the club, tight bikinis on a tropical getaway, skinny-dipping during a camping trip, sleeveless tube tops that stick to sweaty skin, and every sun-drenched moment in between…

You can participate with fanfiction, artwork, edits, playlists, moodboards, graphics, or any other fan-related content!

📅 Event Dates: Starts June 21st (the first day of summer vacation) and ends August 31st (the last day of summer vacation)

🌻 Rules 🌻

1. Your creation needs to include the words sun-kissed, summer, or sun in the creations title, summary, or text.

2. All ships and interpretations of a “sun-kissed summer” are welcome, but it must be Lily Evans focused!!

3. Tag your post with #sunkissedlily2026 and then tag our blog so that the admins can see it, react, and reblog.

4. NSFW content is permitted and—we’d actually prefer it if Lily were missing a few articles of clothing…ya know because it’s ❤️‍🔥hot❤️‍🔥 in the summer…

Are you wondering what to contribute with?

Write about Lily collecting seashells in an oversized T shirt. Draw Lily sleeping in nothing but her underwear because there’s a nationwide heatwave. Imagine Lily showing off her curves in a bikini while slathering herself with sunscreen, or create a moodboard of her falling in love beneath an orange and pink summer sunset.

Whatever you create, we cannot for you to share it with us starting June 21st!

House Elf Appreciation Day 2

Written for @jilymicrofics Prompt: Creature Word Count: 582

All house-elves were supposed to perform their work unseen by the wizarding population. It was no easy task in a castle filled with hundreds of people wandering its corridors at all hours, which was why most house-elves did their work at night.

The arrangement had given many wizards the mistaken impression that house-elves were nocturnal creatures. They were not. Night simply offered the greatest opportunity to work without being observed.

Wipple was particularly skilled at navigating Hogwarts' maze of tunnels, secret passages, and hidden shortcuts. As a result, whenever the Office of House-Elf Relocation assigned a new elf to the school, it was Wipple's responsibility to guide them through the castle and teach them how to move about unnoticed.

It also meant that Wipple witnessed far more than most elves.

He saw students sneaking from their dormitories after curfew. He observed clandestine meetings, illicit study sessions, secret duels, and romantic rendezvous. He overheard whispered gossip, dramatic confessions, and elaborate schemes shared by students who assumed no one was listening.

The students rarely noticed him. It gave Wipple a great advantage in observing and learning about wizard behavior, studying the species up close without them knowing. 

"Hello, Wipple."

Wipple looked up to find Mr. Potter stepping into the passageway ahead. Unfortunately, Mr. Potter was not most students.

Wipple had long ago abandoned any attempt to hide from Potter and his friends during his nightly rounds. If he stopped to conceal himself every time one of them appeared, he would never accomplish any work. They seemed to spend almost as much time wandering the castle after curfew as they did attending classes.

"That's a rather large pile of laundry you've got there," Potter said, eyeing the stack balanced in Wipple's arms. "Need a hand taking it to the wash?"

"No, Mr. Potter," Wipple replied. "Wipple can manage."

"Of course you can," Potter said cheerfully. "But I'm happy to help if you need it."

As always, Wipple found himself unsure how to respond.

Mr. Potter was not like the other pure-blood students Wipple had encountered during his years at Hogwarts. Most barely acknowledged the existence of house-elves. Some ignored them entirely. A few shouted at them. Others treated them like pieces of furniture that happened to move on their own.

Potter, meanwhile, greeted elves by name. He asked how they were doing. He thanked them for their work. He spoke to them as though they were people.

Wipple did not know what to make of it.

Surely Potter understood the natural order of things. Every wizard child learned that house-elves existed to serve wizarding families. Yet Potter behaved as though that distinction did not matter.

At times, Wipple wondered whether Potter was playing some elaborate joke that only he understood.

Yet if it was mockery, it was a remarkably committed one.

Potter had somehow convinced Mr. Black—who was far more distant with the elves than Potter himself—to learn the names of every elf they encountered. On one memorable occasion, the pair had personally escorted a frightened young elf, newly assigned to Hogwarts, all the way back to the house-elf quarters after she became lost.

How they had discovered where the elves lived remained a mystery that continued to trouble Wipple. Most wizards never gave a single thought to where house-elves went when they were not serving meals or cleaning rooms.

Potter had apparently investigated.

Yes, Wipple decided as he watched the young wizard disappear down the corridor.

Mr. Potter was a very strange creature indeed.

In Love and War (WIP) by Icepen. Rated M.

After a horrible summer before her Seventh Year brings the war to her doorstep, Lily Evans knows one thing for certain-- she will not be safe at Hogwarts anymore. Her position as Head Girl, her new friendship with the Potter heir and the disgraced Black heir, the sudden and tragic murder of her parents all shoves her into a limelight she never wanted. Learning to cope with her grief and her trauma, Lily needs to navigate the treacherous waters of her new situation as the war against people like her escalates in the world she is about to graduate into.

flying lesson (completed, 3.7k) by @allrightevanss1123. Rated G.

lily evans, 11, muggle-born, anxietic as fuck and there's a human megaphone yelling instructions beside her. or james potter, 11, sees the muggle-born girl looking confused during their first flying lesson and decides he needs to help her. because thats what gryffindors do.

stuck here, with you!! (WIP) by @allrightevanss1123. Rated M.

Lily, as the respectable Gryffindor Prefect, had to mentor James Potter in the Hospital Wing for a week because Remus’ ‘sick week’ and Potter’s quidditch accident overlapped together. or James cracked tf outta his skull and heard LETSSS GOOOO

Whoever You Want (WIP) by @allrightevanss1123. Rated M.

​Lily had known him for quite a long time now—James Potter and his weird hair, his desperate jokes, and those horn-rimmed glasses sitting on the bridge of his nose. He couldn’t help but make a fool of himself in front of her every single time. But Lily had never once considered turning him down as "resisting," despite everyone else calling it that, talking about his charm and how cute he acted, how much he fancied her. He was...pretty resistible, really. ​Until he wasn't, at least.

Stone Cold and Rock Hard (completed, 2.4k) by @neverenoughmarauders. Rated T.

Lily let out a breath she didn’t know she’d been holding. ‘James,’ she laughed. ‘When a boy and a girl agree to grab a drink in Hogsmeade, they’re going on a date.’ — Or: James Potter gets undressed and Lily Evans dives into the Black Lake for no reason whatsoever.

The Night Is Over But I'll Still Dance With You (completed, 2.7k) by @gingerqueen0567. Not rated.

Lily is so excited for the prom! Nothing can ruin the night, right?

What's In A Name Anyway? (completed, 2.5k) by @yallthemwitches. Rated T.

“Wait,” he says slowly, his heart somersaulting like it’s been taken for a ride on a broomstick, “A crush on McLauren or me?" Lily shoots him a pitiful look. “Please don’t make me admit I fancy you after basically seeing you naked,” she says bitterly, wiping at her eyes. “I won’t be able to live with myself.”

Second chances (completed, 3.5k) by @vivianjily. Rated M.

James thought he'd made peace with the slow burn of it—becoming Lily's friend, earning back her trust, hoping that eventually she'd see him as more. Then Benjy Fenwick makes her laugh and James realizes he's been fooling himself.

love struck (completed, 3.1k) by @sapphireleo. Rated G.

A love story told in colors of carnations (that he first thought were roses). Ending is kinda angsty. Red. Purple. Blue & White. Pink. More white.

BLAME (completed, 36.7k) by @blitheringmcgonagall. Not rated.

“I take full responsibility for my actions, Sir, I know that you’re going to have to expel me. There is no excuse for what happened. I’m sorry to have to put my parents through this. And Professor McGonagall, I just really wanted to tell her how sorry I am and …” His voice trailed off. Dumbledore’s cold periwinkle eyes regarded him intently, as though engaging in some complicated mental Arithmancy. “If Severus Snape corroborates what you just told me, I’m afraid that is correct, you will be expelled, Mr Potter.” A Marauders What If...? What if James had been blamed for the Prank? What if he got expelled at the end of Fifth Year? What if there was never a Lily Evans and James Potter, Head Boy and Head Girl? If they parted enemies, if they never got together in their final year in Hogwarts? What if the marauders lost James? What then?

Sweet Thing (completed, 5.7k) by @stonecoldhedwig. Rated E.

“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.” **** Or: Lily and James explore that little kink they discovered on Christmas Day.

Operation Love Languages (completed, 5.3k) by @exalthia. Rated T.

“The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate? Moony, what in the name of Merlin’s crusty toenails is this?” asked Sirius, derisively squinting at the cover. “‘Mate,’ is that some werewolf shit?” “I told you, it’s a Muggle book. I think it could help James. Listen, this bloke says there’s five ‘love languages,’ and they’re different ways of showing your love for someone depending on what’s important to them: physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time, gift giving, and acts of service. Our boy has been doing none of these, and look where it’s gotten him. He’s got to woo her.” Love languages, James thought, sounded about as woolly as divination, but if they somehow helped him win Lily over, he’d do anything. He’d even probably attempt to fight the giant squid. Not bare-handed, though, he valued his life, lovelorn as it was. OR—Lily has been unimpressed with James' efforts to win her over, so he tries a new tactic. A Muggle one.

Hard Work (completed, 4.5k) by @feed-the-birdss. Rated T.

Lily Evans is drowning in the effort to belong. James Potter has never had to put effort into anything. Somewhere between broken quills, failed patronus charms, and head duties, they figure out what effort is actually worth.

four a.m. knows all my secrets (completed, 2.6k) by @jilyflowers. Rated E.

They fit together so perfectly, two pieces of a puzzle, a comfortable reminder of what she’s got, rather than what she’s lost. It's a quarter past four in the morning after a rough Order mission, and James and Lily can't sleep.

Ultraviolet (completed, 2k) by @deadlysansa. Rated G.

Emails between Lily and James & co about a missing notebook.

I’ll be Home for Christmas (completed, 4k) by @vagueshadows-fics. Rated E.

I’ll be home for Christmas. The words echo warmly in his mind, a stark contrast to the brutal cold of his present reality. He’d said those words with cavalier confidence mere days ago, his hands on Lily’s waist as he kissed her goodbye on the doorstep of the small cottage they’d moved into only a few weeks ago. He can almost picture her now, cocooned in the safety of their new home — her cheeks flushed from the heat of the kitchen, humming muggle Christmas tunes as she stirs a pot of hot chocolate. The image feels like a beacon of hope in the suffocating cold of this mission. James intends to keep his promise. Or: When a routine reconnaissance mission goes sideways, James is determined to find a way home in time for Christmas

need you like a heartbeat (completed, c500 words) by @oakheartedmuse. Rated G.

"He needed her like a heartbeat and there she was, amusing herself with his suffering." Or, James is sure he's losing his mind, but it's mostly because of the heat and this certain redhead...

From Rachel Talalay on Bluesky. Say what you will about the finale (I personally loved it), knowing that this has been going on for her, I hope generates some empathy in the fandom. Especially about her comments that might be seen as glib or unsympathetic. She was in a shit position professionally and now personally is going through the worst loss imaginable. I saw that she was with her partner for 40 years. This coming year will be 20 with mine and I cannot fathom life without them and how I would begin to function, let alone comment on my professional work.

We are, each of us, doing the best we can. Let us assume good intentions.

In light of the no.1 trending topic on this site, I'd like to inform youse that Kitty Kendall, one of the survivors who bravely spoke out against Neil Gaiman and accused him of rape in 2025, has said here and here that if you are looking to support her and other survivors, you can make a donation to OurVOICE (the counselling service Kendall herself used) or your local rape crisis centre. If you can't make a donation, you can help to ensure people do not forget what Kendall and other survivors have gone through and continue to go through as they pursue legal action, and that Gaiman has already spent a lot of money in the attempt to sue these women for speaking out.

okay so I’m not gonna make this a super long drawn-out post or anything because I don’t have my thoughts together enough for that yet. but generally the way I feel about the ending of Good Omens is divided pretty cleanly in two:

1) I am very sad that we didn’t get to see Aziraphale and Crowley have a happy ending in their own universe;

and

2) I think it’s a love letter to humanity that it ended the way it did. I also think it’s insanely beautiful and poignant that the ending is basically “their souls will always find their way back to each other in every universe, forever.” I genuinely can’t think about that too much or it makes me forget how to breathe and swallow.

This was always going to be complicated. There was never going to be a clean and easy way out, as much as we all wished there would be.

I will never stop thinking about these two, in all of their incarnations and across all universes (including the one we watched over the course of the series), finding each other and falling in love and proving that there is so much value in daring to question and to break the cycle and to make sacrifices and to LOVE.

I love them. I always will.
