Trusted Confidante

Summary:

Tonks amusedly hears about the endearing, frustrating, and extremely gay journey of her online best friend Lily Evans, as the latter pines after her former rival, Jamie.

Notes:

Lily and Tonks would definitely be friends if given the chance, and I will forever stand by that. This was originally written for femjily february, but life hit me which is why this is so late XD

This makes use of a fun workskin (which should be viewable on mobile), however it should also be completely readable with Creator's Style turned off. If anyone finds any bits had to read or has suggestions for formatting improvements, do let me know!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

UGH Tonks, my mortal enemy is being a pain again


cryptidmetamorph
fun mortal enemy or The Slimeball?


lily-petals
Fun mortal enemy, Slimeball deserves never to be mentioned again


cryptidmetamorph
valid, what shenanigans has ur fun enemy been pulling?


lily-petals
So, you know my weird eccentric science teacher, right?


cryptidmetamorph
ah yes, the dude who tries to buddy up with students he thinks will someday be successful


lily-petals
That’s the one

So me and mortal enemy are both in his class, and she says we should swap out the ingredients in our science experiments
I would rather not spend the week in detention, so I tell her that’s a stupid idea
We argue about it until I give up and let her be an idiot
It goes wrong, but in an extremely unique way
So unique, in fact, that we will both be having PRIVATE sessions with this weird science teacher every lunchtime for the next week

cryptidmetamorph
damn, she landed u in a double dose of detention?


lily-petals
Oh no, detention makes it sound too bearable

I'm going to be spending an hour every day for the next 2 weeks with just this mad teacher and annoying git

cryptidmetamorph
u may not be the same person on the other side of it all


lily-petals
Hey, I'd like to see you deal with one of Mr Eccentric's private parties


cryptidmetamorph

cryptidmetamorph
aedgcgdvgtrb

lily-petals
He wants us to replicate the experiment using a detailed method and recording procedure


cryptidmetamorph

It's my main solace in all of this

lily-petals
Did you know Funemy did art??

Because we're slacking off and it turns out she is genuinely talented

cryptidmetamorph
there is literally no way i could possibly have known funemy was good at art

glad that the nickname is catching on tho

lily-petals
She was doodling fireworks bc of bonfire night, but they were in various shapes

They were stunning, honestly

cryptidmetamorph
i fully expect to recieve a pic someday

u could even ask her to draw me smth, if u felt like sucking up particularly

lily-petals
Would I be sucking up to you or her?


cryptidmetamorph
both

2 birds w one drawing, excellent solution rlly

lily-petals
Pffft whatever floats your boat, Tonks

cryptidmetamorph
hows ur obnoxious hot gal?


limelilypads
Trust me the obnoxiousness vastly outweighs any hotness


cryptidshapeshifter
oh, my Deepest apologies...


limelilypads
and she's done something new with her stupid hair


cryptidshapeshifter
is it good?


limelilypads
She looks so freaking amazing, I hate it

u see she has this gorgeous hair, long thick and wavy
and normally she has it in a braid or smth, she's always messing with it
but now?
She's started wearing it down, and good god Tonks, the way she runs her hand through it and plays with it while smirking her stupid smile
adrytdvvtgv I hate her sm

cryptidshapeshifter
not to be blunt, but u do remember that ur bisexual, right?


limelilypads
LMAO don't be ridiculous

I don't have a crush on her, of all people

cryptidshapeshifter
whatever u tell ur self

HAIR GIRL DREW ME

It's quite possibly the most gorgeous image of me to ever exist, I can't even comprehend it

cryptidmetamorph
glad 2 hear u had a flattering valentines day


lily-petals
Oh no, it was just a friendly thing, I'm just really flattered


cryptidmetamorph
suuuure

giving ppl a rlly personal gift that probably took them hours on VALENTINES DAY and blushing wildly just screams platonic

lily-petals
A) You are looking into things way too much

B) how did you know she was blushing?

cryptidmetamorph
pls, i can sense her disaster gay vibes from hundreds of miles away

lily-petals
Hey Tonks not saying that I'm caving in to your request for a painting of you done by hair girl but if you had any particular requests or reference material I would sure love to see them


cryptidmetamorph
u r ridiculous, ily

and yes, i have a Very long list

lily-petals
Oh, also hair girl wants you to know her name is Jamie, in the interest of fairness

TONKS HELP

I've just realised
I have a really massive crush on Jamie

cryptidmetamorph
FINALLY

its abt fucking time u admitted it love

lily-petals
I don't know how I didn't see it before

We were just hanging out at break and she had drawn this really funny cartoon of Mr Eccentric
and we were both laughing our asses off and then I looked at her and it just hit me
I'm head over heels for her

cryptidmetamorph
awww

thats so fucking cute

lily-petals
What do I do??


cryptidmetamorph
u tell her??

i thought that was obvious
as i keep saying, she definitely likes u back

lily-petals
I really don't think she does, the way she acts doesn't seem romancey to me


cryptidmetamorph
have u considered that ur just oblivious?


lily-petals
Tonks, I'm not THAT bad


cryptidmetamorph
suuure u r

hey ik that im not gonna convince u so im just hoping that i someday get to proclaim 'I TOLD YOU SO!!'

lily-petals
Only in dreamland

Jamie and the idiots have begun the yearly festive chaos


cryptidmetamorph
wow, it's even earlier than last year


lily-petals
Ah but they've outdone themselves

This year they have Costumes

cryptidmetamorph
adrdtrftgtfvn

i dream of having their confidence

lily-petals
Jamie's got fucking deer antlers on, the dumbass


cryptidmetamorph
pffft she attempting to be the next red nosed reindeer?


lily-petals
She claims to be Dancer, because she has 'grace and poise'


cryptidmetamorph
shame, i thought with the overdrama and loving the spotlight rudolph'd be a perfect fit


lily-petals
agygfbtyfbty 😂

update: she is deeply offended by ur statement
her mates say u have it dead right tho

cryptidmetamorph
high praise from a group of ppl probably dressed up as elves n shit


lily-petals
You make a very good point

27 February 2021

lily-petals
I've decided

I'm tired of endlessly pining after this beautiful woman
Even though she doesn't like me back, I'm telling her how I feel, for my own sanity.

cryptidmetamorph
yay!!!!

(tho she definitely does like u back)

lily-petals
I'm off to get a good night's rest before the Anxiety, wish me luck!


cryptidmetamorph
good luck!

lily-petals
Thank you 😊

For listening to my rambling, and everything

cryptidmetamorph
just doing my duty as ur best friend and confidante ;) <3

i expect to hear the full details of your love confessione
and further romantic misadventures

lily-petals
Oh, with our idiocy, I'm pretty sure there'll be plenty more of those


Notes:

Yes, Lily and Tonks DMs are intentionally the colors of the Bi Pride flag. I have no regrets. In case it wasn't clear, Tonks and Lily do talk about many other things, this is just the highlights reel of Lily's obliviousness and Tonks' blunt advice

If you enjoyed, please consider leaving kudos/comments, and I hope you have a wonderful day :)
