🕯️ Fanfic binding of @chdarling 's The Last Enemy Series.🕯️
I was originally not going to post this, but I thought - why the heck not. All my love goes out to C.H. Darling. This Marauders fic has brought so much comfort and whimsy into my life, and it’s been a privilege to have this sitting on my shelf, waiting to be re-read again and again.
Honestly, this long-term project has helped me through a really stressful period of my life. Putting this together has brought just as much comfort as reading TLE, no regrets!!
For personal use only. Never resell fanfic. Please ask permission or check an author's FAQ before binding fanfic. You don't need fancy supplies to bind, and there are a lot of tutorials, budget friendly options, and ways to achieve binding your own copy.

I want The Last Enemy to show up on every I've-read-ATYD-and-wanna-read-another-marauders-fanfiction-just-as-great person's doorstep so we'd have a bigger fanbase so I could be unhinged with more people.
There is something inherently powerful about finding the words to express solidarity, to say: I understand, me too, I know exactly what you mean. It’s a kind of magic you’d never find in any book but that could change the course of history far more than a mere spell.
But Lily Evans was sixteen years old, and she did not yet know those words. She only knew that boy before her was hurting in just the way she herself had hurt. So she did the only thing she could think to do: She let go of the swing-set pole and walked over behind him, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, pressed her cheek to the back of his head, and hugged him. James sat still and startled for half a moment, then his shoulders shuddered ever so slightly, and he sunk into the embrace, touching a cold hand gently to her own.
