Remus is up for his three-year contract renewal and he's totally dealing with it. Not stressed at all.
There's only one waffle maker in the dining hall and it literally always breaks. So, naturally, the only reasonable course of action is to meticulously map out when it's working and, ultimately, do a heist.
Lily was JUST trying to be a good daughter and help her father with his yard work. Too bad the bloke next door is always outside and also the most annoyingly talkative person on the planet.
Lily's on lockdown and, because she can't help herself, signs herself up for a whole bunch of extra (and free) work with her ad agency. Minerva, her boss, assigns a cheeky social media manager to her team to help her. Also, Marlene discovers TikTok (this is nowhere near as important to the narrative as it's inclusion here suggests).
Lily's been riding the same train back and forth to work for the last two and a half years and lowkey fancies the guy who sits one row up from her usual seat. TW: parent death discussed
Part of the December "Winter Tropes" Jily challenge. Prompt: my family invites you to join our holiday meal as an obvious setup and omG i'm so sorry
The Love Actually/We Are Here crossover/continuation you probably don't need but I'm giving to you anyway. Thank you a million to the Tumblr anon who asked for a continuation of this little story.
James Potter has just swept into the Premiership on a wave of Brexit outrage and, on his first night in office, a woman strolls out of his fire and tells him she's the Minister for Magic. She tells him not to worry, he'll never see her again unless something really serious happens. It goes, perhaps, without saying, that something really serious happens.
Lily hasn't seen James since she walked out on him five years ago - until, that is, she discovers his bakery on her Instagram explore page and, awkward or not, she has to go see about the mince pies that he's got all over his grid.
James Potter and Lily Evans are both wildly successful YouTubers and Sirius cannot believe that people ship them enough to write erotic fanfiction about them.
Lily Evans, television producer with uTV, is moving into her second series with Eligible, the UK's newest dating show. After a strong (and morally questionable) first series on her part, she's been given the chance to work with this year's bachelor, James Potter. Unfortunately for James and Lily, these things hardly ever go as planned.
Lily Evans, senior PA on The Jeremy Kyle Show, needs a last minute guest to fill out the show this week. Luckily, her old friend from uni is always up for a bit of nonsense and his brother is easily convinced.
Early one December morning, James and Lily find out that they're going to have a baby. James spends the next nine months nesting so hard that it's a wonder Lily doesn't kill him.
Lily Evans is taking her primary school class to the Natural History Museum for a tour - they're colossally late and her kids are driving her a bit mad, but luckily their tour guide is fit.
The M25 needs to undergo massive emergency repairs and the entire motorway has been shut down for, well, probably the rest of eternity. Lily Evans was foolish enough to think she could make it through before the traffic properly started. She's absolutely dying of boredom when she spots the guy in the car opposite. Nonsense ensues.
Third and final instalment in the 'we could be gigantic' universe.
Because I couldn't resist writing a smutty follow up to 'we could be gigantic' - and also I'm still trash for the Wombats (hence the title)
Lily and James have been best friends since they were kids. Uni, a band, a trip abroad, a few tours and a couple of albums later, things start to change. Half an email fic, half a regular ol' narrative. **Formatting is fucked on FF, so I recommend you go read this on AO3 (same username)**
Remus Lupin, PhD has just moved across the country to start a new job at a university in Southern California. He's got quite enough on his plate already, thank you, but the universe decides that he needs to navigate feelings for a certain leather jacket-wearing department manager, too. Title has no significance, but it's prof-r's birthday so they get what they want
It's 2003. Lily's a foreign journalist in Afghanistan covering the war. She's travelling with the 1 Royal Anglian when her convoy is attacked and the lorry she's riding in explodes.
