Blushing And Speechless.

RandomMarauders Headcannons:

all of them listen to ABBA, Queen, AC/DC, and Kiss

when on dates with Remus, Sirius always puts on eyeliner that he stole from either Andromeda or Lily

when at school, Regulus wears black nail polish (was a gift from Andromeda)

James hates orange juice

Remus plays the guitar

because of this Sirius thought himself how to play the bass

Peter is really good at Russian accents

there is no way that Lily and Remus wouldn’t speak about James and Sirius secretly

Remus had doubled joints in both his elbows and thumbs

jilyposting today james whose special interest is quidditch and who knows all about its history, all the techniques and maneuvers and can go on talking about it for ages and he does, and at some point he just. stops. he feels like he's annoyed lily because she hasn't said anything for a while and she just kept on looking at him and he ends up apologizing a billion times because he's annoyed her. and lily cups his face. and looks into his eyes and she says. hey. you're not annoying me. sorry if you felt like it i was just so engulfed in what you were telling me and in parkinson's pincer and in how happy you were while talking i kind of forgot to say anything. and james melts into a puddle right there.

Baby Harry laughing without any reason, just to light up your day, night, evening, just like he did with James and Lily. 

and a little message from myself, if you wish to read it: Wherever you are, I hope you know that you matter, and that you are loved. And if you don’t believe it, all I can give now is little Harry - he will never judge or be angry at you <3

old school (2010s ish) Jily recs

Thought I’d share a few of my favourite older Jily fics for anyone that hasn’t come across them before, or wants to reminisce.

Purely Business by Zayz (oneshot, rated M) - head students-with-benefits angst

“They didn’t do it out of love. They were not in love, nor did they want to be. They barely knew each other. None of this was romantic, not even close. What they had together was purely business.”

and it burns like me for you by Wilhelmina Willoughby (oneshot, rated T)

She’s almost to the library when a hand grabs her wrist and yanks her into what appears to be an empty classroom. It is. They’ve been here before. She’s intimately acquainted with the desk nearest the door. But it’s a good thing she’s not honest.

Kiss and Tell by SunshineDaisiesWindmills (multi-chapter, rated M)

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.

 If We Only Die Once by Apalapucian (multi-chapter, rated M)

Lily gets flak for dating James and gets sucked in to the belief that he’s better off without her. She tells him she doesn’t love him anymore, and after a while, she manages to make him believe the lie.

Bloody Shangrila by dorcasdeadowes (multi-chapter, rated M) - muggle AU

“The way she babbled on about the place made it seem like some sort of promised land, but James knew full well that is was nothing of the sort. Sowsworth was a wasteland that comprised of seven shops, a pub, and the incredibly bored shadows of lonely people. It was not bloody Shangri-la.

Love and Other Tragedies by Fancyeyes (multi-chapter, rated M) - Lily’s on a journey of self-discovery while trying to solve murders of students. This has one of the best plot twists I’ve ever read in fic.

And the Wolves All Cry by monroeslittle (long-shot, rated M) - AU angst (with a happy ending)

if a certain person doesn’t hear a prophecy, does it still come true?

Literally everything written by @fetchalgernon​ / cgner - AU queen! Honorable mentions to:

To Live Nobly (oneshot, rated T) - this one will break your heart a little

Question Time (oneshot, rated E) - Prime Minister James & MP Lily AU

Key Limes (oneshot, rated T) - Prince James & actress Lily AU

saw this edit and thought of this prompt— enjoy!

Lily jumps into James’ arms. He stumbles at the impact but he’s able to stay on his feet as Lily buries her face into his neck. He grips her waist, hoisting her up, letting her legs dangle.

“You could’ve died, you idiot,”

“You would like that wouldn’t you, Evans?” he chuckles.

He sets her down when he feels her hold on him loosen.

She steps back from him and immediately punches his chest.

“How could you say that?”

His face falls when he sees that she was being serious. Soon, her nose scrunches up in a way only he knew. She began to cry.

“Evans?” he says, reaching out for her.

She pushes his hand away and takes another step back.

“No. No, I wouldn’t like it if you died, James!” she raises her voice, letting the tears start to fall before she’s sobbing. She covers her face with her hands and before long she feels the distant lingering of James’ hand hovering over her, unsure of what to do.

“I— Lily, I’m sorry, please don’t cry… I was only joking,”

She lifts her head from her hands, wiping the tears on her cheeks.

“Well, I’m not! It’s always fun and games with you! You don’t even realize what you could do to someone if something were to happen to you!”

“You’re not making sense, Lily”

“Do you think Sirius, Remus, and Peter are the only people who care about you? They’re not. I care about you, James…. So you can’t gamble your life away and die on me just to get a quick laugh— not now, not ever— not when I’m—!”

“When you’re what?” he asks gently

“Not when I’m this gone for you, you arsehole!”

James’ eyes widen.

“So— So you can’t just risk your life all willy-nilly like that because— because I love you too damn much to lose you before I can even get the chance to tell you just how much,”

Lily’s breathing is heavy, tears steadily streaming down her face as her chest heaves up and down slowly.

“You… love me?”

Lily could only let a slightly amused breath out, “Merlin, you are oblivious aren’t you?”

“You love me?”

“Yeah.” She answers nodding, “I do. So if— if you don’t have feelings for me anymore, well tough luck, Potter, because I don’t think this’ll be going away any time soon,” She says, bitter smile on her face.

“I never said I wanted it to go away,”

A beat.

“I don’t want it to go away.” James takes long strides to Lily, taking her tear-stricken face into his warm hands and kisses her.

He pulls away and rests his forehead against hers. “I’ve had feelings for you since 3rd year, Evans.” He leans away, bending down to meet Lily’s eyes. “What makes you think I ever stopped, huh?” He swipes her falling tears with his thumb.

At this, Lily smiles but the tears don’t stop. All she can do is walk in closer to him. She throws her hands around his torso, presses into him, and cries into his chest.

James hugs her, one hand on her head, the other on her back. Rubbing her back and leaving soft kisses on the crown of her head until she stopped shaking and her breathing evened out.

Hi sorry, I don't believe in larry but I don't go and attack other larries for their beliefs and I apologize if other antis do that... 😕

But I was just curious..., is there any part of you that thinks that larry may have not been real this entire time and it was just fans projecting that idea onto them? (For example, reading too much into things, trying to find connections when there aren't any, and basing newer theories on other theories that were just headcanons) Because I understand that larries are upset sometimes because there are 'stunts' still happening and nothing has changed. But do you ever doubt it now? That maybe, the stunts haven't changed because maybe they were never really stunts in the first place?

I understand that as fans we're not with harry and louis 24/7 so we don't really know what goes on in their lives. But I'm just curious because, if fans don't know what's happening 24/7, how can their beliefs be completely accurate? There must be some plot holes right?

In my opinion a lot of the times, larries say things like, oh this relationship timeline doesn't make any sense but from my perspective, we only have knowledge of what we see publicly, so the reason things might not make sense is because we don't have the full picture/or all the pieces of the puzzle. We just have a select few instances that we can base our judgements on, but the downside to this is that our judgements can also be inaccurate. Therefore, I honestly don't see larry as being real now. Maybe in the past harry seemed to have a crush on Louis or something, but other than that, I think fans were reading too much into things and dragged it along for too long to the point that no one could really do anything about it. Sorry for this long ask, my opinion doesn't matter anyway lol but I was honestly just curious about Larry and all this stuff. But anyways, have a nice day!

Hello, dear.

First of all, you have no idea how much I appreciate you for being so straightforward and saying you're not a larrie! Because there's a lot of people coming here trying to stir the pot, pretending to be larries and being really shitty at us. (and some larries are no better) It's not hard to just be polite even though we think differently, we could all have a chat and have some fun together.

Anyway, I totally understand where you're coming from. It's a very practical way of thinking and I can definitely relate to that because I'm a very practical person myself, maybe that's why you're writing me this. So I actually agree with a lot of things you said. But I do think that this is coming from much more from a place of lack of knowledge on what we actually believe or don't believe, than from pure skepticism. Do you know what I mean? I cannot speak for other larries, but for me, it's much less about theories, and reaches, and reading into things, and much more about the consistency of facts as a whole. We can obviously add layers of theories and complexity to that - and I think people will naturally try to understand things in a way that makes more sense to them, which is incredibly subjective - but at the end of the day, we're talking about a series of events here. We are reading too much into things, that is a fact. But that's only because we keep finding things when we do, we keep getting reaffirmations. Otherwise, we would have dropped it years ago.

We're certainly not completely accurate, that would be impossible. The only thing I'm 100% sure of - and that's me answering your question - is that Harry and Louis are together and always had been. No, I don't have a single doubt in my mind. And I'm not saying larry is real because they keep wearing blue and green and this kind of shit. I'm saying larry is real because when we look at a bigger picture, it makes sense. I'm not saying their relationships with girls don't make sense, of course there are holes but I completely agree this could be justified since we're not watching people 24/7, but imo when we stop looking at larry as something so unlikely, larry makes more sense than whatever other official narrative going on. And that's based on what we see publicly anon, believe it or not.

Because, honestly, if we take all the "proofs" and theories out of the picture, what is so unlikely about larry being real? Besides looking at things from a very heteronormative point of view? First things first, we have a disgusting industry, where closeting is undoubtedly not only very real but frequent. A fabricated and extremely profitable boyband targeted for an audience made of young heterosexual females, where having gay members would be very inconvenient. Abusive contracts, especially coming from talent shows. We have both Simon Cowell and Modest Management being exposed over and over for abusive behaviour. People connected with One Direction openly talking about "helping” closeting people with PR relationships. So, unfortunately, it's not an unlikely scenario at all. And then on top of that, we can start to add all the fishy stuff. What the hell happened with Harry and Louis "friendship"? We can all agree that shit was never platonic in the first place. And then their behaviour drastically changed, at the same time both of them started to get girlfriends and 1D skyrocketed worldwide. Girlfriends that very coincidentally started to show up everytime there was something to be promoted. Repeating the same patterns year after year. At the same time they started to get tattoos, on a running theme, not only one or two, there's probably ten of those coincidences all over their bodies. Ship and compass, heart and arrow, anchor and rope, oops and hi, the fucking papillon tattoos???... One after the other, in sequence. And then he got the dagger, after months of speculation, right after a huge denial? What are the chances! And then when Harry got the mermaid and we started to speculate about Louis getting a lighthouse and he showed up with a customized t-shirt with a lighthouse, saying "yes". And those are only the tattoos, don't even let me get started on the other hundreds of coincidences. Did they actually ever hated each other? Hated larries? Why the fuck they would be so bothered by gay rumours when they seem to be at least allies. How many times they're going to need to orbit around each other so people can stop calling it a coincidence. What the fuck was even the rainbow bears, and since we're talking cryptic, why there's so much consistency when we *delulus* feel like they're communicating, why is it always the same pattern over and over on the queer coding, on the coded clothing, lyrics. We can only go crazy and speculate to a certain point, why there's always room for interpretation, why they keep feeding into it. How in the world did they end up with the same vintage t-shirt, why is Harry obsessed with things named Louis, why did Louis wear a t-shirt with a huge H in it if he knew what it meant, why did he sing princess park, why did he sing LARRY CALL A LOAD OF SMOKE IN? Out of all the names, t-shirts, songs, places... what 👏 are 👏 the 👏 chances. Things don't mean anything individually, they're just coincidences, theories, reaches, until proven otherwise. But when we start to add things up to this same pile... it means everything. They actually fit. So, you do you, anon. If you think that's too crazy, too fucked, that is fine, I understand that people have different points of view and I respect that. I'm not worried about being on the "right side", I'm worried about being truthful. I love them, and I feel like they need to be heard. Desperately. I don't believe shit like that happens on a bigger picture so consistently unless there's something else going on.

their last days at Hogwarts.

-

James: She didn’t accept my gift… Sirius: I cannot believe it! Lily: Don’t take it personally, she doesn’t accept it from any student. Sirius: McGonagall was his favorite teacher, just so you know. Lily: Should I…? Sirius: Oh Evans, only time will cure this pain. Lily: Good, I’ll only make things worse.

Lily and James true ship name is Flowerpot (or Lames) 😤
