Jily Fic Recs
I often find myself on this website looking for good Jily fanfiction. Although I’ve found plenty of fanfiction through Tumblr, the lists just aren’t complete/updated. A lot of them also don’t include some of the best fics I’ve ever read. So I decided to take it upon myself to make a masterpost, both to keep track of all the fics I’ve read and to help out the occasional wanderer who might stumble upon this post. I’m planning on dividing this in two parts: complete fics and those which are work-in-progress. All the fics here are multi-chapter, usually with over 100k words. This doesn’t mean I don’t like one-shots, I do, but I much prefer longfics to these. I might even make a separate post for one-shots if anyone wants. There could be a personal note for fics that I think are worth reading but are probably discontinued/on indefinite hiatus (looking at you, TLAT and Commentarius). I will, of course, include links to all the fanfiction mentioned here, as well as a link to the author’s page. Hope this post helps someone out!
Mentioned in NO PARTICULAR ORDER. Please let me know if there’s any problem with the links or if I’ve provided incorrect information. Also, please feel free to send any recommends, I’ll read them all and add them to this list. Hope this helps x
This bit is exactly what Sirius was talking about when he said "Nah, she didn't" in response to Harry lamenting that Lily hated James lol.
Because you can't convince me that our girl wasn't staring at James Potter that afternoon by the lake just as hard as he was staring at her. She brings up him playing with the Snitch as if it's something he does all the time — when literally just minutes earlier, Remus asked James where he'd gotten it. Her eyes were glued to that boy.
"Messing up your hair because you think it looks cool to look like you've just got off your broomstick" … girl, just say YOU think he looks cool when he gets off his broomstick.
love this.
i love whatever the fuck james potter and sirius black have going on. i bet it looks wild from the outside. its undefinable. its romantic. its deeply platonic. its obsessive. its a secret fifth thing. its a little feral. they're soulmates. they're brothers. they're best friends. they're partners in crime. they're creepy twins in a horror movie. they're each other's person. they can read each others minds. they're not technically two seperate people anymore. no one knows where one ends and the other begins. i'm voting them 'most likely to have a folie à deux thing going on' in the school yearbook.
Lily and Harry.
Lily and James are so important and ppl that don't like them don't understand them. Like without them Harry wouldn't exist. There literally wouldn't be a story. James and Lily being together went against everything the DE pure bloods believed in. Having a kid together was an act of defiance. James and Lily marrying each other despite a whole war going on is like the bravest thing they could've done. The point is Lily and James are the base, the standard, the originals.
Lily and James being total badass, facing Voldemort three times and still being called boring and never acknowledge for how their love is like the backbone of the whole story.
whoever doesn’t get this, DOES need education

Deerstalker (completed, 100 words) by @annabtg. Rated G.
Lily Evans goes shopping for a new hat.
Thinking of you/What you would do (completed, 2.4k) by @brightestwitch123. Not rated.
where Lily Evans holds a man's hand (not James Potter's) and is completely normal about it
jealousy, jealousy (completed, 1.2k) by @spookydanamulder-multifandom. Rated G.
On the way to their sixth year at Hogwarts, Lily Evans and James Potter try very hard not to be jealous of each other (they fail).
Testament of Youth (completed, 3.6k) by @neverenoughmarauders. Rated T.
‘Now time seems precious,’ Robert McGonagall had said quietly. Three months later, James finally understands what he meant.
Profile Match (completed, c300 words) by @tedwardremus. Rated G.
James isn't sure if he failed or succeeded at online dating
touch and go of don't know what to say (WIP, 59.6k as of 30 June 2026) by @gigglesandfreckles-hp. Rated T.
It’s not as though anyone else will be awake at whatever ungodly hour it is anyway. He’s wrong. There, in front of the fire, her long dark red hair tumbling loose down her back in a way he never gets to see in the daytime, because it’s always pulled into a tight plait, is Lily Evans.
A Risk Worth Taking (completed, 9.8k) by @jilyyall. Rated T.
Lily Evans lives in two different worlds, but she has always made an effort to share her experiences with her parents. They know about Hogwarts. They know about magic. They know about her friends. They do not know about James Potter. When a day in London turns into an accidental run-in, a slightly awkward lunch, and a conversation she can't avoid forever, Lily is forced to confront a frightening truth: building a future with someone means letting them into every part of your life. It does not necessarily mean they will remain there forever. Sometimes, that's a risk worth taking.
ANTI James Potter club (completed, 12.4k) by @vivianjily. Rated T.
Lily Evans starts the Anti-James Potter Club in sixth year, but she can never finish writing its charter. Article Five—the one meant to explain the club's real purpose—stays blank. By seventh year, as war closes in on Hogwarts, she realizes hatred requires distance she can no longer maintain. James keeps appearing in moments that unravel her certainties: protecting first-years, fighting for the defenseless, looking at her like she's worth dying for. When they join Dumbledore's resistance together, the lines blur between enemy and ally, between conviction and something more dangerous. Somewhere between combat training and their final exams, Lily understands what she's been resisting all along.
when it's too heavy to carry (remember) (completed, 3.5k) by @sunlit-di-s. Rated T.
These days, she sees Potter more often than not, being the youngest members of the Order together with complementing skills.
A Christmas Miracle (Or, what to do when your girlfriend tries to seduce you at the Christmas gathering) (completed, 2.2k) by @yallthemwitches. Rated M.
He needs an exit strategy—or at least a single brain cell to tell him to calm the fuck down. Could it really be possible that of all the shoddy lessons he’d slogged through in his pathetic quest for ‘education’, not a single one could have been ‘ What to do when your extremely fit girlfriend is unintentionally (?) giving you a hard-on at the family Christmas gathering?’ Life is so inconvenient. And cruel.
going for gold (be my home) (completed, 13.9k) by @harryissuchalittleshit. Rated M.
After breaking up with her partner after their second Olympics, Lily is in need of someone that can rival her skills and work with her. But having a bit of mean reputation on and off the ice, she has gone through her fair share of skaters. Enter James Potter, her former crush and a world class hockey star. Either they're headed for gold or last place.

Don't Tell Me Your Wish If You Don't Want It To Come True by @yallthemwitches
“My mum wore something like this for her wedding,” James explains. He picks up a crown wrapped in sunflowers and places it on his head with a mischievous grin. “How do I look?” Honestly? He looks radiant, like the sun god himself doesn’t have a leg to stand on— but Lily doesn’t tell him that. Instead, she pretends to smell some nearby daisies.
THANK YOU for this amazing art of my jily reinassaince fair fic! I'm sitting and drinking my coffee and crying right now!
