Now that she's finally figured out what she wants, Lily's hoping for a more permanent arrangement. Sequel to The Price of Freedom-Freedom Arc #2 .

Lily is training to be an Auror. James happens to already be one... and rumours fly around the ministry faster than a Quidditch World Cup Snitch. Did YOU hear the rumour about Evans and Potter? (A.U / Not canon though character traits and 'world' remain consistent.)

James makes Lily a simple offer. "Shag me and I'll leave you alone for the rest of the term." Of course, Lily refuses but the offer is always on the table...Will Lily give in? Will James sweeten the deal? RATED M.

When James asks another girl to the Halloween Masquerade, Lily ropes all of the marauders in on her plan to remind him why she's the one he really wants... even if it means making him jealous. Lily/James

LJ. It begins with a challenge from her sister: Lily must shag a bloke before Christmas. But when things don't go as planned, she finds her feelings for James Potter may be developing into something different, something real.

Something's different about James Potter and it's almost definitely to do with the fact that Lily's dating his biggest competition; Amos Diggory. But now Lily's out of the picture and the other girls are up for the chase; will Lily get jealous?

James Potter is Quidditch Captain, one of the best students in his year, and quite popular with the witches at Hogwarts. So why is it the one person he wants to impress the most always seems to think the worst of him.

Even before they were a couple, they always seemed to spend Halloween together. Series of oneshots.

She said she'd always love him. He said he'd marry her someday. It's funny how nothing works out like it's supposed to. / Sometimes it takes more strength to walk away.

Because to Lily, he is oxygen, she breathes him like air, and in his absence she can feel herself slowly suffocating to death. Lily/James

Lily spends the night at Remus' house after a fight with James. However, an owl changes her mind and sends her back into the arms of her husband. DISCLAIMER: I do not own HP, and I make no money from this.

"It's not every day that a girl lowers her morning Daily Prophet to find the entire Gryffindor Quidditch team standing before her." A collection of L/J short stories.

"He presses his forehead against hers and looks into her eyes, and she is burning up for him to see, and he is burning up so that she can keep warm, and he kisses her so that they can burn together, as bright and hot as the stars that they gazed at with wonder and awe from the Astronomy Tower." James and Lily, one-shot.

Lily Evans thinks that James Potter is perfect, but his friends know otherwise. They know he's about to break and they'll be there to pick up the pieces.

He was frustrating and arrogant and a tad immature, but he was also funny, intelligent and so bloody charming... that sometimes she wasn't sure if she wanted to slap him silly or snog him senseless. A series of unrelated Lily/James drabbles.

Their final year, their final chance at finding each other, his final plan to call Lily Evans his. To grow up. Full detailed summary inside. Canon pairings/characters. JP/LE alongside the ever wonderful Marauders.

AU. A version of how Lily Evans and James Potter would have met if they were only two university students in a world where magic and Hogwarts didn't exist.

Lily and James are...complicated. He has the world at his feet and she's not ready to bow down quite yet. They were perfect and they were a beautiful happy couple until just a week ago. Now James is relapsing in some old ways and Lily is lying to herself about what she really wants. Rated T for some swears and drugs, this is my first FanFic ever, please try it!

James has given up all hope of ever getting Lily Evans to become his girlfriend. He ponders how every little thing she does drives him crazy. Will James be able to see her only as a friend after all these years of pining after her? And what does Lily think? Oneshot, even if a bit on the long side. Rated only for language.

"Perfection, that's what he called himself." James Potter: Chaser, playboy, public relations nightmare. If Lily Evans can survive just one year as his publicist, she'll be rocketed into the Hall of Fame. But it won't be easy, nor will it be pleasant. AU.

L/J. It doesn't surprise her at all that James Potter comes rushing into the Hospital Wing only an hour after she lands herself there. And for someone she doesn't even like all that much, she's still glad to see him.

"James. Can you please focus. You're not a dishevelled wandering star. You're not an artist. You're drunk right now, and high, and it's one in the morning and the girl you love is sleeping inside. Now be a man, go up to her, wake her up, give her the stupid flower, and ask her out, alright?" JPLE One-Shot.

But Lily could not deny one thing: James Potter was a natural born chaser. He chased quaffles on the field, he chased attention off of the field. But the thing he chased after the most, was Lily Evans herself. James/Lily oneshot.

He almost faints. It isn’t tension building up between them; it’s a mix of real unrequited love and some weird and twisted respectful disdain. “I’m sorry.” He says finally. And Lily resists the urge to throw up right there. “I’ll leave you alone."

"Lily shuddered at the feel of James's warm breath against her skin. She wanted to yell and curse at him; to hit him, even. She knew he was doing this on purpose, trying to provoke some kind of reaction out of her. And, Merlin help her, it was working."

The only thing James Potter meant to do was steal a wallet. He didn't mean to find the picture, he didn't mean to decide to return the wallet, and he really didn't mean to meet Lily Evans in person. And he most certainly did not mean to fall in love with her. But fate works in mysterious ways, and when the heart has been stolen, it is very, very hard to take it back.

"James had assumed that after he and Lily had had a spontaneous snogging session in the third floor corridor during patrol, he'd finally get to take her to Hogsmeade. Alas, the fates had never been on James's side." Secret Relationship James/Lily. Written for Tumblr's Jily October.

Lily Evans is not an easily outsmarted witch. So why, you may ask, is she standing alone in the middle of the Prefects Bathroom completely and absolutely dumbfounded? It is just as simple of a story as it is a convoluted one. L/J. NOW A TWO-SHOT.

"...and stayed in love always." This is a series of drabbles and oneshots, mostly from the marauder era, involving Lily, James, Severus, and everyone you love. Canon, not in chronological order. The rating is for safety. Enjoy.

"Five days." He said finally. "You give me five days to make you fall for me. And I get to do whatever I want with you, for those days." "And what do you get if you win?" She asked uncertainly. He held a small smile. "I get you." L/J

They were two completely different people. He was the egoistical jerk with all the money and power in the wizarding world. While she was a nobody, an outcast. No body EVER stood up to him, until he crossed paths with her.

"Lily shook her head, furious with herself for noticing. So what if his shoulders filled out his uniform nicely? If the sharp angle of his jaw made her want to run her finger along it? He was an arrogant arse, and she wanted nothing to do with him."

Lily genuinely liked James Potter. He was handsome enough to make any girl swoon, but he was also funny, clever, and secretly kind. Unfortunately, he could also be rude, thoughtless, spoiled, and cruel. Finding the balance was the tricky part. Author note: James is a jerk. Please don't be surprised.

James has yet ANOTHER dream about Lily. I did this as a one-shot, but it might become a story later on

J/L: And I briefly think that I'm sure there is not a better feeling in the world than this right here.

The rules were simple. Provoke each other. Scream at each other. Snog each other. Do this as frequently as possible, but don't ever, ever kiss and tell.
