 An-Jelly-Ca 2007-08-31 . chapter 1Meh, I firmly think Lily loved only JamesQ O-N-LY JAMES. lol.
“Hazel!” she cried out, vocalizing Sensible Lily’s anger. “Bloody hazel.” Her limbs had still yet to regain working status, and instead she took to punch him on the chest, hard. Oh dear, thought Unstable Lily. Quidditch does more to the body than calloused hands.
James, who apparently had no response to her sudden outburst, blinked slowly. He didn’t flinch when her hand, making a delicate, small fist, came down on his chest, but rather stared at her with the utmost confusion. “Er –,” was all he could manage.
Sensible Lily was dying inside. Hazel! She could hardly believe it. So much rested on those stupid brown eyes she thought he had. Now, they just had to go and be hazel! Surely, Sensible Lily figured, he must have gone and charmed them.
“Always?” she asked, eyebrows furrowed to mirror Sensible Lily’s anger. “Have they always been bloody hazel?”
“What?” he asked, genuinely confused. Before she could answer, he added, “Er – My arm is falling asleep. You’ve been leaning on it for about ten minutes now, Lily.”
Oh, bugger, thought Unstable Lily. He just had to resort to her name, didn’t he? This sent Sensible Lily into an uproar, the butterflies mimicking her despair as they attempted to tear down her stomach lining. She wondered if they’d transfigured themselves into hippogriffs. That’s what it felt like.
“Er – Lily, my arm. Really, now. I mean, as much as I enjoy this – and, heh, believe me, I do – I would appreciate it if my arm would stop its path to numbness.”
Again! Again, he had to go throwing around her name! Did he have to do that? He must know, Unstable Lily was thinking, the butterflies-turned-hippogriffs having some sort of civil war inside her stomach. She realized, now, why the butterflies were no longer such; the arm in aforementioned question lay bent near her waist, his fingers, unable to avoid it unless twisted in some crude manner, touching her side, almost the small of her back. She was finding this to be –
“Sorry, Lily, but I had no other choice,” he said, having interrupted her thought process by way of lifting her off the ground. He kept close by her, his hands nearly touching her arms, ready to steady her if she proved to be unstable.
Sensible Lily was about to force herself to pull away, but Unstable Lily resisted wholeheartedly. She overthrew the reign of Senses, her proclaimed instability proving to be more than just mental. As she wobbled slightly as she stood, she felt James’s hands now on her arms, lightly gripping the spots just above her elbows. She blinked, chancing to look at him.
The result were near murderous in her stomach. The hippogriffs were performing circus acts inside, twirling and flipping and flying all around the limited space. She swallowed hard, blinking again. The hazel eyes were now looking directly at her, meeting her stare. Sensible Lily tried to turn away, but Unstable Lily refused.
“Did you know you have hazel eyes?” Lily asked, rather stupidly, though the question was said in all seriousness.
It was James’s turn to blink, a few times in a row, before he spoke. “Yes. Had ‘em all my life, even.” He grinned that stupid, lopsided, arrogant grin of his that Lily had started finding to be less stupid and less arrogant (still lopsided, though) with each one made. It was almost completely across the line of stupid-and-arrogant and into the realm of, dare she think it, endearing.
“Oh.” It was all she could muster.
Hahaha, I loved Lily's MPD behaviour, this was such a wonderful oneshot abut Lily and James getting together. Fantastic work, you're an amazing writer! |
 lyin' 2007-08-18 . chapter 1haha, SO fun. zany in a wonderful way, and you make James sound so cute. love the 'dragons in her stomach', reminds me of Harry's 'lion roaring with triumph'.
ugh, i HATE the why-would-lily-pick-james ppl who've exploded from the woodwork (oh, they've always been there, but now they're in full flux.) it was tragic, but i also find it kinda... creepy.
and j.k.'s only fueling the fire- despite making it perfectly clear throughout the series that lily and james were truly happy and in love (eleven-year old sirius and james were the highlight of the prince's tale for me), did you see the interview where she confirmed at one point lily did have feelings for snape beyond friendship before he blew it choosing mulciber and dark arts over her??
