Summary
She knew the pattern by heart now. They would flirt, tease, then draw the line and settle back into the safety of familiarity. But Godric be damned, it had been a whole year and an almost kiss of this cycle now. Maybe it was the firewhiskey, or just her sentimentality, or both, but she was done playing. She looked him square in the eye, her voice dropping into something dangerous.
“Or, we could actually spend the night.”

Summary
“Yes. I think it matters.” James is shocked at how soft his own voice is, but even more so at the pause in her footsteps. They’re quiet for a second, and then he hears them approaching.
“Why?” She asks, slowly, slowly walking back towards him, rejoining him at the wall. “Two more years at this place and nobody will care how many O.W.L.s we got last year or who was a prefect or Quidditch captain. Voldemort won’t care. This,” she gestures at the air around her, “won’t mean anything when we leave here.”
“But it means something now, doesn’t it?”
–
It is sixth year and everything has changed, everything is changing, nothing is the same, nothing is different at all.
This is a story of love and of loss (like every story that has ever been told), and of growing pains and growing up. Lily Evans, James Potter, Sirius Black, new friendships forged and old ones not forgotten, alone and not alone with their changing minds, falling in love and falling into place when the walls are falling down around them, everything is falling out from under them.
OR
A long form, slow burn, canon compliant tale of Lily Evans and James Potter, and all the people they love, have loved, have lost.

Summary
He’d seen it coming. He’d known it from the beginning, some unconscious part of him recognizing the signs as they appeared before him, trying his best to find some other interpretation but always coming to the same inevitable conclusion.
He’d tried to reassure himself through the years that she loathed him just as he did. But it wasn’t until now, as the feelings of betrayal and anger washed over him like Stinksap, that he wondered whether she’d ever uttered those words at all.
Snape remembers all of the moments through the years where he suspected Lily might have fancied James back. Canon-compliant, Snape POV, set during Marauders-era Hogwarts years.

Summary
James made a beeline for her, rounding the corner where she stood by the kitchen island, red hair falling messily over her shoulders, wearing his Puddlemere jumper and her old primary school hockey trackies he transfigured to fit her summer of sixth year when he visited Cokeworth.
She looked beautiful, James forgot she was his again.
Forgot that she had left and come back, that she was here to stay, that she’d promised to never go again.
