Summary

Summary
It was a predictable predicament, Lily in a bikini, a torment James had all too willingly – eagerly – signed himself up for when he’d agreed to invite the girls on the beach holiday. But of course he’d agreed, because James is a good friend.
Or a glutton for punishment.
Or a pervert.
All of the above, probably.Or: It’s the summer before their 7th year, and James invites the Gryffindors to his family’s beach house for a week. How many tropes can Lily and James wade into before the week is over?
For Jily Week 2025 Day 5: Summer Fling!
