They would fall in love eventually — but we would be remiss in ignoring the hiccups along the way. (More chapters on AO3!)

Lily Evans and James Potter are both hoping for a hassle-free year. But things are never hassle-free when it comes to the two of them - and you know what they say, a bad beginning can only mean a bad ending. Or can it? James/Lily one-shot.

"Offers?" she chuckled. "What kind of person offers a job to you?" Seeing the seriousness in his face, she sobered. "What kind of job?" "The dangerous kind." Her lips twitched in a wistful half-smile. "There's no other kind for you, is there?" James/Lily one-shot.

"You," said Sirius, in the manner of a policeman charging someone with murder, "fancy Prongs." There was a moment of silence. Lily did her best to assume a shocked expression, but it apparently did not work. "AHA!" Sirius shouted. "I KNEW IT!" James/Lily one-shot.

Sirius rolled his eyes. It was one thing to deal with James sighing and bemoaning his unrequited love, but Lily too? How much did the universe expect one bloke to handle? James/Lily one-shot.

Lily wasn't sure what was more bizarre, the fact that a sixteen-year-old had just analysed her personality, called her 'love', let a subtle innuendo slip - or the fact that he'd done it all in about three sentences. James/Lily, AU two-shot.

Lily Evans and James Potter are cooperating with each other. In fact, the latest whispers around the Hogwarts rumour mill have nothing to do with them, together. Lily's acting increasingly strange, though, and her friends and the Marauders - minus James - are determined to get to the bottom of it. It can't be anything too serious - but haven't you heard the rumours?

She's a mix of stolen kisses and hot skin and burns. She's a volcano. Something in the air is different when he walks in, a loud, handsome boy-hurricane (her hurricane) throwing the room into absolute chaos. They're bold and fearless and crazy, ever-changing but still the same. Companion piece to Rumours. James/Lily one-shot.

"You're a diamond, Lily, you can't be broken." He is wrong, because diamonds can be broken by other diamonds. James/Lily, one-shot.

Girl-band The Coven has a formidable rivalry with international sensations The Marauders. When the eight teenagers are suddenly forced to tour together, only madness can ensue. Marauders-era AU.

"Who said we had to be subtle? It's not like either of us works for MI6." "You won't fool me into snapping into spy mode by bringing it up!" "Are you asking me to step up my game?" "Prick," Lily says through gritted teeth. "Challenge accepted." Muggle spies-posing-as-high-school-teachers AU.

"We had a drunken snog. And, uh, no hard feelings, right?" Wrong. L/J, one-shot.

"She was Lily Evans, after all, and if she wanted to be a seductress, she'd damn well be one." Lily's six-day attempt to get James. One-shot.

He's making her smile, dammit. How does he do it? Tedromeda, one-shot.

She took a step towards him, her green eyes flashing. "Are you some sort of mad cutthroat?" "Are you a siren?" he countered. "Not nearly beautiful enough." "And I'm not nearly mad enough." James/Lily AU one-shot.

Marlene was supposed to come over later, and they would've laughed and talked and sipped Firewhiskey from their delicate matching teacups. Marlene wouldn't be telling her to stop laughing. But Marlene is lying in pieces in a desolate farmhouse. Funny how little things like death can ruin girl time. One-shot.

Before the Chosen One, there was a war. A war that ended in a spark of hope. A spark of hope that began with one boy, one girl, and a dark, dark time.
