CH. 53: TWO MORE WEEKS

“Oh my God,” Mary breathed, rearing upright. “Oh, Lily, really!” cried Doe. “Merlin’s beard,” said Germaine, whose mouth had fallen open. “You actually—” And then they all began to talk at once.

CH. 52: OUT OF THE CAULDRON

The thing about fibbing, Dorcas Walker knew, was that it had to be done with a delicate touch. As a rule, Mary Macdonald didn’t much believe in regrets. James Potter liked to think he was capable of quiet, noble suffering. It was an inescapable truth that Germaine King was of a nervous disposition. Sirius Black had resigned himself to the moral low ground.

CYOA Chapter 39 Snippet

James Potter: alright columbo you got me how was your first night in the house?

Lily Evans: To be honest, I was a bit out of it too. I'd stayed up all night packing my stuff and dealing with Wendy and Paul who wanted to know WHY I was packing my stuff and being generally very pissy with me because I was taking all of the fancy kitchen things that I got from your mum and they don't use anyway. So I don't think I was fully lucid at all, like to the extent that for a second I honestly thought that cardboard cutout was you.

James Potter: so your reaction to seeing me unexpectedly would be to scream like a banshee, run face-first into a wall and start laughing hysterically?

Lily Evans: I didn't run into the wall, I ran TO the wall. For safety.

James Potter: you need a wall to protect you from me?

Lily Evans: In my defence, my reaction to flicking on a light and seeing ANYONE standing dead still in the middle of a room would be immediate terror.

James Potter: what a sexy experience for you

Lily Evans: That wasn't the kind of fear that gets me going though.

James Potter: but surely andrew garfield does

Lily Evans: Considering I thought he was YOU for a fraction of a second it was actually quite disappointing.

CERTAIN SHARP THINGS

prompt from @crimson-snitch

tattoo shop but make it regency 🪡 8k words; rated M

All the other customary marks on James’s body have been made either aboard his ship, his fear abated by cheap spirits, or in foreign ports. But this, they all said, this, his promotion to captain, this deserves ink from the Portsmouth tattooist’s hand.

READ.

CYOA chapter 26 snippet

Lily Evans: I had a falling out with Zoe Pring and we never made up. Can't remember what caused it but we were definitely equally to blame even though I'm sure I thought it was all her fault at the time. Carina and I are comfortably acquainted in the social-media-friends-who-don't-directly-communicate-and-I-went-to-her-wedding-but-wasn't-a-bridesmaid kind of way.

James Potter: but you sure love beatrice

Lily Evans: But I sure love Beatrice. I can't say I'm proud of the sacrificial virgins and love slaves that I wrote into existence for her birthday, but hey It is what it is

James Potter: 2010 was a different time

Lily Evans: Could you tell from my amazing short story that I knew absolutely nothing about sex?

James Potter: yes

Lily Evans: Thank you, that means a lot.

part 10: les quizerables

AN: Well, I’m back!  And so is our favorite pub quiz gang (I swear we’re almost out of the pub).  As always read at your own risk, I have not been proofing this one.

James Potter’s forearms were incredibly distracting.  Well, at least they were to Lily, at any rate.  It was all fine and manageable at the beginning of the quiz, when the sleeves of James button down shirt were where they were supposed to be.  But then, at some point the sleeves were rolled up in that female gaze sort of way, and boom, Lily’s head was very much out of the pub quiz game.  And then there was the mash incident.  Didn’t fit guys know you couldn’t just casually wipe a bit of mash from a girl’s mouth?  Lily knew she was going to get a lot of mileage out of that moment; perhaps his thumb turning into his lips…

“…Lily?”

Hogwarts Legacy update!

We've confirmed the plot: there's an uprising among the race of hook-nosed bankers who control the economy. (Note that the more evil they are, the bigger their noses are. There's a good one who has a big nose but he used to be evil when he was younger.) They're "rebelling" because they want their stolen cultural artefacts to be returned to them and want to not be oppressed anymore, which for some reason means they also want to massacre their oppressors' entire race, because of course marginalised people asking for liberation actually secretly want to kill you. As part of this sinister cabal's nefarious plot for white—I mean, wizard—extinction, they want to kidnap a child, because that's what hook-nosed bankers like to do, right? And their leader is willing to do anything for material gain, up to and including teaming up with fascists who hate his race.

You guys know that conspiracy theorists think Jews funded the Holocaust, right? They claim we did it so we could milk it for reparation money afterwards. And did you know they think we kidnap children? Or that we actually want supremacy rather than equality, and plan to subjugate the rest of the world for our own gain? Presumably you've at least heard the claim that we control the banks. And you know this is all very popular with the alt right, don't you? Have you also heard that this game's original head developer was an alt right YouTuber?

Don't act like this is a fucking coincidence.

No, JKR wasn't involved in the game, and it's actively intended to be trans-positive. Yes, she gets money from it, and will likely donate some of that to anti-trans causes. But even if you pirate the game so she doesn't make any money off of it, you're still going to be be playing the fucking Protocols of the Elders of Gringotts.

Fucking TALK ABOUT THIS.

BARRY, BOND, AND THE BLUES (a jily week fic) day 4: the magic in a first touch // muggle summer job au

He and his friends beeline for the rock section, which is strategically placed up front, directly in her eye line. She gets a closer look at him, this way. Messy hair, a strand or two curling behind his specs. The lean shoulders of a boy still in the midst of filling out his frame. Long fingers flicking through the bin of records, the light snick sound filtering through the hum of the fan blowing by her ear.
