rothko + fra angelico
now it’s time for what i call the creme de la creme of jily fic, the most romantic and fluffy and utterly hilarious 700k words ever:
commentarius by b.c daily
written with a style inspired by meg cabots ‘the princess diaries’ commentarius starts every chapter with a jack handey quote and is written as lily’s diary (commentarius means diary in latin). lily is obsessed with rice and the island guam, lily is anxious and can’t make her mind up about anything. shes accident prone and says the wrong thing and isn’t the mary-sue that she has been made out to be across fanfic
while b.c daily’s portrayal of lily is what really stood out to me, their james potter is the most swoon-worthy romantic lead ever. he’s complicated, tries so so hard, patient, and extraordinarily witty. i’ve never laughed at my phone so much. but what this fic does so well is reconciling the expectations they initially had for each other - james’ crush on lily vs her being a real person with flaws and the james that had disgusted her at the lake and the james two years later.
this is largely canon-compliant, though written pre-hbp so snape being lily’s childhood best friend was not yet revealed and is obviously missing here, but in my opinion makes it all the more fun. original characters have charm and are interesting beyond the main couple. this is what i’d consider a pure romance with first wizarding war conflict not having as big a presence.
the fic starts from september of seventh year to november, and is sadly unfinished, but the author is still active and planning to update.
Fanfic: Commentarius Ch 1, Harry Potter | FanFiction
disclaimer: people write fanfiction for fun and for free. putting a work online doesn’t mean one can hurl abuse at projects people put time and effort towards. so let’s all be mindful :)
At times, I can hear the host laughing somewhere off in the distance. It passes in intervals by my door, but I'm quite sure there is no one actually there. It brings me to wonder the plausibility of going elsewhere, but I fear I have few options. I have never been a swordsman, and- vain thing, I know- but I have not the heart to stain this one.
Though, one must understand, that it is easy to hear that senseless noise and wonder your chances with the beasts outside.
Anyone have any good Jily recs? Set at hogwarts preferably. I’ve been stuck rereading the same unfinished fic for the past four years it’s time I move on with my life 🫠
baby are you okay? you read 9 chapters of commentarius between 2 and 4am last night
ok this is niche but with ‘when emma falls in love’ all i can think of is emma from commentarius
i think my level of pain tolerance has reached its peak after reading all the young dudes, commentarius and the life and times
just read Commentarius and The Life and Time for the first time. The amount of distraught I am that they both remain unfinished after years cannot be articulated into words. from this day forth I will be praying that they will one day be marked as completed during my lifetime.
