Lily Evans moved to a hot, cramped, architecturally suspect building in Diagon Alley to live with Sirius Black and Marlene McKinnon for the summer for two reasons: she needed to complete her uni lab internship, and the alternative was seeing her sister for three months. She did not move here to:

a. illegally smuggle horrid floral couches at the behest of her idiot of a flatmate

b. drunkenly snog a mysterious man at a bar whose name she doesn’t know

c. begin a (surprisingly interesting) email relationship with this man

d. go insane when her idiot of a flatmate’s brother decides his summer off football would be perfectly spent living in their flat

(f. Addendum: she is certainly not going to fall in love with him.)

Hello all! I’m very excited to get back into writing fic for the first time since my pre-teen years (so excited I ignored all of my assignments this week which is not going to be good on my gpa) and it seemed perfect fun to close out the summer with something a little bit silly. 

also @efkgirldetective emma that ice cream summer of jily prompt that launched a wave of smutty jily fic is DIRECTLY responsible for a scene in this/earning it an M rating so...kudos to you. 😂

if you have to choose which fandom is the worse: harry potter fandom or the choices fandom?

not in terms of those who create content like fanfics and stuff but when it comes unnecessary drama or discourse ?

I have never (and I mean this with no exaggeration) seen this much vitriol, bullying, hypocrisy, absurdity, grandiosity, immaturity, deficit of critical thinking skills, lack of reading comprehension, racism (plus all the —isms you can imagine but most notable of all ageism), and all-around stupidity as I've seen in the Chonces main tags.

If you, like me, think it’s been far too long since our last fandom-wide Jily event, be glad to know that the jilyfest blog will be hosting another fest in late May or early June! 

Our last fest, trope fest, was almost two years ago, which is entirely unacceptable. (For your perusing pleasure, Kristina’s pirate fest and royalty fest are archived here as well.)

Because fests are fun with increased participation, I’d like a theme that piques the most interest. I’m considering some themes listed below, but it’s completely flexible and  suggestions are welcome.

Summer fest (road trips! carnivals! beach! anything goes)

Canon fest or AU fest (if we did this, we’d have the opposite fest later in the summer)

Engagement/Wedding fest (stag and hen parties! botched proposals! sweet, sweet fluffiness)

It’d be great to see a great Jily resurgence, if only for a few days!

How come she married him? She hated him!  Nah, she didn’t

eyes, look your last. arms, take your last embrace. and, lips, o you the doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss a dateless bargain to engrossing death.

Imagine Lily's surprise when she found out that James Potter could actually hold a note. It only took several glasses of firewhisky and the opening to Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now."
