Lily X James - Blog Posts
Just a reminder, James, Lily and Remus (and Peter) were planning a birthday party for Sirius but it never happened. Ans Sirius will never know because he never knew, because they could never tell him about it. He spend his birthday alone in a cell. No cake, no candles, no presents, no love, but in the cold and dark.
James “he brings joy” Potter.
Lily “she brings Shakespeare” Evans.
—
Ron “You know how to ball” Weasley.
Hermione “I know Aristotle” Granger.
James: why don’t you have a bf?
Lily: cause my parents aren’t really cool with that yet
Lily: what about you? Why don’t you have a gf?
James: cause your parents aren’t okay with it, yet
Lily: just to be clear; I’m too smart to be seduced by you.
James: well that’s why I like you.
James “you know how to ball” Potter.
Lily “I know Aristotle” Evans.
“Screamin', "But, Daddy, I love him. I'm havin' his baby". No, I'm not, but you should see your faces”
But it’s singer Lily Evans singer about her boyfriend James Potter.
Lilly : James?
James : Yes, Lily Pad?
Lily : May I speak to you for a moment?
Sirius : (under his breath; in a sing-song voice) Someone is in trouble.
Lily, walking into Potions looking disheveled: Sorry I’m late professer, I was doing… stuff
James, walking in looking equally disheveled: I’m stuff
Remus: Don’t kid yourself, she pushed you down the stairs
Jily Proposal
hogwarts graduation
after the ceremony, they cross the lake to the station by boat like in 1st year (to make it a whole circle)
they can’t fit four in a boat anymore
lily and james together
remus and sirius really close by with a camera
halfway across the lake, james gets on one knee
he doesn’t even finish his sentence before she says yes
they are both so happy
they stand up and kiss
its so romantic
until the boat tips over because they are standing up
but they are still so happy and laughing
its just a really sweet moment
Here is a just a quick one shot I did for Remus birthday. A bit belated. It’s his POV but it’s set as a what if for my fan fiction I posted a while back. What if no one died and everyone had always been happy?

hear me out. both james and sirius like when a very attractive person is mean to them (without ruining them psychologically), but they react very different about it.
james take it as a task, a mission, to make this person like him, to make the person crack their mask just a little bit so he can see how they actually feel about him, or even make them be even meaner just for the sake of it.
but sirius tries to convince himself that he hates the person as well, so they will be enemys for a while until both can't deny anymore and just go for it, and sirius has to admit himself "damn that's not what I was planning"
Are they fucking kidding me? They literally had world-saving sex and produced a spawn that literally saved the whole fucking wizarding kind's ass from being extinct. Bffr.
Try not to be delusional challenge go!
No way in hell I just saw someone say Jily doesn’t make sense??? HELLO??? ITS THE BACKBONE OF THE ENTIRE SERIES?????
I believe AND headcannon that when James started to like Lily he used to send her love letters just to fuck with her but when it got serious and he started to actually fall in love with her, he wrote her poems about how her hair was the exact shade of the winter fire that burned inside his soul for her.
Just a reminder that Lily and James are soulmates. <3
Destined to meet in every universe. <3
Born meant for a collision. <3
They’re a rare phenomenon. <3
There’s only a few other occurances of similar phenomena but they’re not soulmates - Tonks’ patronus changed to Remus, Snape’s patronus was Lily. That was closer to obsession than the pure cosmic twins that Lily Evans and James Potter are. It could not have been a shock to anyone to learn that a world-changing prophecy is made about their son.
They were always going to be someone important to each other, they weren’t chained to a pre-written romance. Their romance is entirely their own, and it’s unimaginable how much love they had because it’s something otherworldly.
If they were to be separated by death, neither Lily or James would ever fall in love again. They’re that cutesy.
My Marauders group ships! I know that Charity/Peter isn’t popular at all (I’m pretty sure I made it up) but it’s captured my heart. Closeups under the cut! Featuring: my headcanons for their handwriting and eyes, along with the symbols I’ve given them.
Dad bod James Potter in this or something adjacent please???
When Lily realized she liked James back instead of asking him out she told him to ask her out again to give him that satisfaction of her saying yes send tweet

What if trophy-husband, stay-at-home-dad, wife-guy James and famous-chemist, working-mom, breadwinner Lily?
Sirius literally towers over everyone. He’s like 6’5 and super broad. He’s not touchy, but his favourite form of physical contact is putting his chin on people’s heads (only his closest friends). Remus (5’10) likes cuddling up as close as possible to gather heat, like a little warmth-sponge, and will worm himself so far into Sirius’ personal space that he ends up inside of his jumper with him. James, being the second tallest Marauder (6’0), doesn’t fit unless he hunches over, but he enjoys it the most out of the whole friend group, partially because James is also pretty broad and Sirius is the only one who can make him feel dainty. Peter (5’3) likes it, but feels really short whenever Sirius does it, which is annoying. Lily (5'5) thought it was weird at first, but got used to it and started to find it sweet when he began doing it when she got close after getting with James.
Okay I understand that! From what we see of Jily in canon (which was only actually 5th year and then how much they loved each other when they died) they were something akin to rivals back then. Which… they were 16 at most, so, y’know. I do stand by my point that Snape’s relationship with the Marauders wasn’t bullying, but their relationship was inherently negative. They both had friend groups that fought near-constantly, and it was definitely vicious, there’s no doubt about that. I just think that it went both ways and, honestly, I wouldn’t blame them if they were bullying a guy who was, for all intents and purposes, a death-eater in the making (and was very vocal about it). I would also like to note that Snape was obsessed with Lily and her feelings towards James were probably exaggerated to some extent by his negative biases towards James! From what we hear from Sirius, she didn’t actually hate him all that much, just found him a bit annoying (which, to be fair, he was also biased in the other direction, but he’s always a lot more honest than Snape in canon, so I’m taking his word a little bit more seriously). Circling back to what I said about James and Lily’s relationship, based on their actions when they died, it’s very clear that they both grew up a lot and are clearly much better people for it. But you are very right that JKR’s work is always kind of bad, even if it’s canon, so I’m glad that we, as a fandom, have managed to expand on her ideas to something less inherently horrible.
I ship fanon jily but I do not ship canon jily. You're telling me a guy who bullied a girl's best friend, harrassed her, wouldn't take no for an answer when she made it clear she wasn't interested in him, told her he'd stop bullying said friend if she went out with him, ended up marrying said girl? And she had a baby at 21? Sounds pretty toxic to me (even if said 'best friend' was also a dick).
James Potter who knows how to take care of long hair. He learned how to properly section and brush it, how to braid, how to make a bun, how to trim split ends, how to pick the right products, how to clean it, how to take care of curls, all of it. Lily doesn’t understand— his hair is constantly a mess and he only uses high-end product because his dad makes it. Then, she walks into the dorm towards the end of seventh year to see him sitting on a bed, a very disheveled Sirius in front of him, slouching and half-dead looking, while James gently brushes out his freshly-washed, mid-back length hair.
James, being the amazing friend and brother he is, learned how to take care of hair because he knows how much Sirius’ hair means to him, but he gets depressed sometimes and can’t do it, himself.
