I wish I could just write one fic at a time. But I'm the kind of person who sees a prompt and writes 3 chapters in my head and then I don't ever finish them.
Hi, sorry to bother you, will you finish the Eclipse fanfic? I love it and I'm curious. I hope you have a nice day and are well.
Yes. I do plan to finish Eclipse. It's a pretty short fic (I'm planning on 3 chapters total). I'm currently exploring a bunch of different possible options for Unspeakable work since HP canon is pretty vague about what their work entails. I'm kinda leaning toward spy work. Sort of going for a forced proximity to lovers angle? Kind of.
Do you plan to write more Blackinnon or Jily stories in the future? Because I love your writing, it's beautiful. You write each couple wonderfully. I just found your work and it's incredible.
Thank you for reaching out. Honestly I didn't know anyone was reading any of my fics so...
Yes. I'm currently writing this month's Jily Challenge so it'll be released in a few days (the theme is Medieval).
I like writing Blackinnon, but I've also been dabbling in Sirius x OC. Since there's so little known about Marlene other than headcannons, she's essentially an OC.
I'm trying to finish up my longer current fics before I start chasing down my other plot bunnies. Currently I have a lot of "in progress" stories - All We Ever Wanted, Faultlines, Lily Evans: Hogwarts Champion (Favorite To Die), Eclipse, Sixteen, one of the Brave.
Hoping to finish up All We Ever Wanted and then work on the Triwizard one some more along with Eclipse.
Hi, I love your fanfics, they're so good! Could I ask what your Blackinnoon headcanons are, if you have any? I'm looking forward to more of your fanfics.
Hello,
Thank you! I'm glad you like them because sometimes I feel like Blackinnon could use more love ❤️
I had to give some thought about this one and here's what I got so far.
Blackinnon headcanons:
Sirius Black is often portrayed as being a Casanova which I disagree with. Being handsome and reasonably intelligent and having one girl in Snape's Worst Memory staring at him doesn't mean he messed around with a lot of girls. I think that he would date a handful of people, but his emotionally instability as a result of his family would influence his ability to have a healthy relationship.
Personally, I can see Blackinnon getting together during Hogwarts and working out, but I can ALSO see them being one of those "Second Chance" kind of couples because Sirius might not have been mature enough as a teenager to know what he had when he was with Marlene the first time.
For Marlene I've always thought of blonde hair and blue eyes. Pureblood, but not one of the Sacred Twenty Eight and I don't see her parents as being extremists the way the Blacks or Malfoys are.
I do deviate from canon because for me if we look at canon Blackinnon then they're basically star crossed lovers in the sense that Marlene dies and Sirius goes to Azkaban so in a perfect alternate world, both of them make it out of the war with some scars (physical and emotional) but help each other heal
I like the idea of Sirius not really knowing what to do with her at first because she's not a girl who is impressed by his name or his money. I kinda HC her being best friends with James first and then having a friends to lovers relationship with Sirius.
In my head, Marlene is basically an OC with a set name so I accept a bunch of headcanons when it comes to her. Which is why sometimes I just use OCs because honestly some of my stories get more traction with an OC (Cherish) than with Marlene (maybe it's because the newer Marauder fandom has such strong ideas of shipping Marlene with Lily, Mary, or literally anyone except Sirius idk)
Legends is out now on AO3 for Messie Hall Muggle AU Fest 2026. Completed at 17.7k words.

Never Have I Felt This (WIP, 97.6k as of 30 April 2026) by @sidlarsson. Rated M.
“You know I’m mad about you,” I said, my voice textured. “I—fuck, Evans, I know it’s obvious. It's bloody obvious. I want to go out with you. I want you to go out with me.” After a long pause, in which I sucked in and then licked my lips, but she still hadn't said anything, I urged in a quieter tone, “Go on… go out with me.” Hogwarts fic - James Potter POV where he's an asshole, but disastrously and completely head-over-heels in love with Lily Evans.
Mystery Of Love (WIP, 21.1k as of 30 April 2026) by @versipellis21. Rated T.
A story of Lily Evans' life from the week she got the letter that would change her life forever up to the moment she died. Following her teenage years at Hogwarts, as she finds a new family within the walls of the castle to make up for the loss of her old one, the struggles of growing from girl to woman in a world she doesn’t feel like belonging in, as the beginnings of a war creep up on her, making friendships to last until the end of time, and learning to return the love of the boy who loved too much, the unexpected pregnancy in the middle of the war she had got caught up in, and how her fierce love for her son would change it all.
Beneath the Beech Trees (WIP, 14k as of 30 April 2026), by @missgryffin. Rated E.
It’s always been like that, her and James. Heated; a little toxic; more than a little crazy. Maybe, this time, they’ll finally figure it out.
Must Love Dogs (WIP, 10.8k as of 30 April 2026) by @petalsonparchment. Rated T.
Before heading off to a lecture at university, James Potter leaves his Labrador retriever, Padfoot, locked inside the flat. Unfortunately for James, Padfoot soon grows dreadfully bored and teaches himself how to slide open the front bolt. Naturally, this results in an entirely unsanctioned adventure beyond the flat. Out in the world he meets Lily Evans, a sharp-witted English student who quickly wins him over with biscuits, praise, and the sort of attention any self-respecting Labrador (and, frankly, James Potter) would find utterly irresistible.
Confessions on the Quidditch Pitch (completed, 3.8k) by @jilyyall. Rated T.
James Potter is a right fool, but Lily Evans knows just what to do with him.
Kiss All The Time (What If All I Need Is You?) (WIP, 22.1k as of 30 April 2026) by @wearingaberetinparis. Rated M.
“Because… I think it’s what I want, you know. Just enjoy a low-stakes fling.” His friends shared a look. “I’m serious,” he added. “James –” Remus’ brow was crinkled. “What if we bet on it?” A Jily AU with some sprinkles of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
Don’t Make Me Over (completed, 1.3K) by @deadlysansa. Rated G.
James kisses Lily without thinking. Seventh Year Jily drabble.
Penguin (completed, c300 words) by @sapphireleo. Rated T.
"Will you be my penguin?" "Will I be your what?" "My penguin."
Jilytober Vignettes (oneshot collection, 51k as of 30 April 2026) by @siriuslysnuffles. Not rated.
A series of canon-compliant vignettes about James and Lily being hopelessly in love (or completely in denial about it).
Choice (Caution to the Wind) (completed, 5.2k) by @kay-elle-cee. Rated E.
“It’s just…” When she speaks again, her voice is softer. It’s tired, but not absent of a sharp quality to it. “Between the war and the Ministry…I miss feeling like I had a choice. I sometimes feel like things just happen and all I can do is react.” Or: Lily finds a small way to take her life into her own hands.
Little Boys and Their Lost Loves (completed, 8.7k) by PensivePensieve. Rated T.
Although he was only eleven years old, James Potter knew at first sight that the red headed girl was someone he had to stay far away from.
The fuss about kissing (completed, 1.1k) by @exalthia. Rated T.
In which James finds it inexcusable that Lily thinks she doesn't like kissing and offers to show her what she's been missing.
A Hostage Situation (completed, 2.5k) by @formerlympp. Rated G.
Lily learns that magic cannot cure every possible ailment, but her boyfriend certainly can.
Sundress (completed, c850 words) by @missgryffin. Rated M.
James seeing Lily in a sundress for the first time
In the Comfort of Your Arms (completed, 1.7k) by @jilyyall. Rated T.
After a very bad week, Lily Evans finds herself unable to sleep, and the only person that can possibly offer her any peace is fast asleep in his own dormitory where she is definitely not allowed, especially not in the middle of the night. Good thing the Head Girl isn't too fussed about following the rules.
Christmases When You Were Mine (completed, 4.9k) by @harryissuchalittleshit. Rated T.
Lily misses the train to go home for the Christmas holidays and finds herself stuck with James and Sirius for the next two weeks. In that time she comes to change her opinion about the pair of boys, but especially one James Potter. Sixth Year AU
Also check out the previous months' lists: January | February | March
Penguin was featured! 🐧
So many good fics on this list. If you love Jily I highly recommend these!
Eclipse @blackinnon-fest
Summary: Sirius Black never planned to run away at sixteen. He also never planned to be an Unspeakable. Put it this way, Sirius no longer planned things in his life, least of all his love life. He did not plan to have Marlene McKinnon as his Unspeakable partner. He would have chosen anyone but her.

Part 10: Mirzam
“If I were a star, I wonder which one I would be,” she mused, staring out at the dark landscape in front of them.
Sirius, propped up beside her with one knee bent and his back against the Astronomy Tower wall, glanced down at her. “You’d pick one for yourself?”
“Of course,” she said.
Sirius tilted his head back, studying the stars intently. After a moment, he said decisively, “I’d choose Mirzam for you.”
Marlene turned her head toward him, nose slightly wrinkled, “That’s an odd name for a star. Why that one? I would’ve chosen Vega or something.”
Sirius huffed softly. “Vega is one of my favorites, the brightest part of Lyra. One of the easiest stars to find in the summer sky.” He looked pointedly at the sky when he spoke and gestured toward a faint star just above the one that bore his name. “I chose Mirzam because it’s known as the herald.”
He traced a short path between two stars with his finger. “Appears just before Sirius rises in the sky.”
She looked a little more thoughtful now and slightly suspicious.
“Almost like it announces Sirius’s arrival,” he said carefully.
She looked at him as though he might have just said something a bit too sincere. “That sounded suspiciously sentimental, Black.”
“It’s just basic astronomy,” he replied a little defensively.
“That sounded almost sappy.”
He forced a faint smirk, “It’s what the star is called,” he answered with a shrug.
“The herald,” she repeated.
“Yes.”
She studied him for another second, but then instead of calling him out on it, she just rested her head on his shoulder. “I like that.”

Part 8: Sirius
“You never talk about your star,” she told him.
He was slightly thrown off by her comment, but he followed her gaze automatically, finding the star almost instantly. It was impossible to miss, shining bright in the winter sky, it burned more brilliantly than any of the others around it.
“Do you want me to tell you about it?” he asked.
Marlene shifted onto her side so she could face him, resting her head on her arm. “I just think it would make a nice change,” she said lightly. “You talk about your family’s stars a lot, but never your own.”
Sirius tilted his head slightly, considering that. “I think mine’s kind of boring,” he admitted. “It’s just the brightest star in the sky.”
“That’s hardly boring.”
“And it’s part of Canis Major,” he continued. “The dog constellation.”
Marlene’s eyes brightened.
“It’s part of Orion’s hunting dog. Sirius marks the collar of the dog, actually.”
“That’s not boring at all,” she said. “I think it suits you.”
“Does it?”
“Yeah,” she nodded.

Drive on AO3. Rated T. Jily getting together. Established Blackinnon.
chapter 9: thoughts, blah, thoughts, blah
Fleamont heads off to bed early, pleading age and early mornings in the garden, leaving James and Lily alone in the kitchen with the remains of dinner.
James tries, briefly, to refuse her help, but it’s a losing battle.
She stands at the counter, drying as he washes, the two of them moving around each other with an ease that feels… new. They never had this when they were teenagers. Truthfully, it’s a bit strange, seeing him like this.
Strange, and—good.
He’s so adult.
(It's hot.)
