stitch the wound

moments on a battlefield and in a home. there are only so many things you can do when in hiding before you begin remembering.
(james and lily in hiding, trying to come to terms with the war & what it means to become parents amid one.)
like a rabid dog

1978. war creeps, it prowls. forgive james if he is not yet adjusted to the stench of death.
(the gang move in together after school meanwhile the war hovers in the shadows. bravery is a fickle thing.)
and still the fire burns

nineteen seventy-seven and the world is ending. or maybe just beginning. perhaps it’s the same exact thing.
(a non-linear account of lily’s sixth year, learning how to wield her anger and fall in love while existing in a world that doesn’t want her.)
cross my heart, cross the line
jily | word count: 19.8k
she thinks about him in the same way she thinks about time and death and growing up. ceaselessly. hopelessly.
(growing up is scary. in this story, james and lily navigate that inescapable fact together.)
stand in your storm
jily | word count: 8.3k
she is a contradiction in and of itself. her smile mirrors the sun while her actions mirror the moon.
(entirely self-indulgent. no plot in sight, but maybe if u squint. like really squint. just 2 teenagers pretending they don’t fancy the fuck out of each other.)
this side of the universe (bare & brief)
jily | word count: 9k
they're seven and they're twelve and they're eighteen and somewhere along the way, they became something more.
(childhood friends-to sort of enemies-to lovers. some happy times and not so happy times along the way.)
glitter and glow
jily | word count: 2k
the stars are twinkling, the revelers withdrawing, and lily and james—who simply relish in their affinity.
(james and lily are in love on new year’s day. that's it. nearly made myself puke with how grossly endearing they are.)
hold me like you mean it

But out of all of those moments, large or small, the biggest mistake of all was Lily Evans sleeping with her best friend all in favor of soothing his heartache.
(And falling in love with him in the process.)
(friends w benefits jily. inspired by a dodie song. take that as you will.)
the tide that falls
jily | word count: 3.5k
“I love you,” his voice is a whisper; a soft, tender tone of nothingness murmuring the words that mean everything.
The words that could change everything. Only, they weren’t said to her.
(lily is pining and james is pining and it’s just pining all around. happy ending!)
