PSA for readers of no place like home

@bluelibrary brought to my attention that it may not be clear who Barry is in this fic.

Barry is what Mary calls Sirius, a nickname derived from his inheritance of the family title, which he mostly ignores out of principle.

“That wasn’t the half of it, Barry paid the fine though.” “Don’t—” “Apologies ‘me Lord.” “Mac” “The right honourable—ouch, you fucker.” Mary shoves him back, “It was this one’s fault entirely.” Sirius shrugs off the blame, wearing a fond smile, “It was the beginning of a deep love affair.”

This is absolutely one of those times that as a writer I'm so used to the joke that I haven't explained it properly, this isn't supposed to be a mystery, just a silly little bit.

Hope that clears things up, sorry! 🙈

I just started reading Funny Story and Petra (not the main character wa sa) is soooo Katy coded lol. It reminded me why I don’t trust Katy so far. I always side eye too nice people who get too friendly too fast.

Oh Hey! I am also reading Funny Story, and this made me laugh! Katy won't be nearly as unlikeable as Petra, I hope! But 💯 agree that people who are too nice are sketchy af.

The problem about having brainrot for your own fic is that I want to talk about it constantly but I don’t want to spoil anything but I want to talk about motives and characters and just the events but I want to preserve mystery and suspense

The Process of Wanting 

Chapter 6

for @jilymicro-oops prompt: Foolish 

“Please don’t see this as me being too forward but if we don’t uh - hang out - in my bedroom, you will be witness to a gross display of some sort of sex act when Remus and Sirius get home.” 

Lily looks over at James, an amused glint in her green eyes. “The place looks different with no one here.”

James hums, remembering how small the space had been when they threw their party just weeks ago. 

“I must admit-“James starts, guiding them towards his bedroom, “I don’t remember our entire conversation that night…”

fatherly duties (April 25th prompt; Thrill) @jilymicrofics

“You’re staring, Lil.”

Lily startles, nearly knocking James off his feet as she spins around to face him.

“Woah,” he breathes, steadying her with his hands on her shoulders. “Just me.”

Lily frowns up at him, though she can’t completely hide the slight blush that warms her cheeks, noticing his bemused expression. “I wasn’t staring James, I was just—“

“Staring. Yeah.” James interrupts cheekily, giving her his typical lopsided grin.

“Checking.” Lily corrects him, crossing her arms. “I was just checking if he’s alright.”

James’s smirk softens at that, and is replaced by an understanding smile. “Yeah.” he says quietly, looking past her at the door to Harry’s bedroom, which stands slightly ajar. “I was about to do that, though. One of my fatherly duties.”

Lily can’t help but chuckle at his feigned displeased frown. “Oh, is it now?” she asks amusedly. “And what else, may I ask, would those fatherly duties include?”

James presses a finger to his chin, thinking. “Well…there’s telling horribly flat jokes, for one.” he muses, smirking slightly at Lily’s eye roll.

“Hm, they’re called Dad jokes, I think.” she replies, acting as though this conversation was indeed very serious.

James can hardly hold back a laugh. “Yes, yes, exactly those.” he agrees. “Oh! and there’s also, teaching him all the hidden ways around Hogwarts and—“

Lily slaps his chest. “James Potter!” she hisses quietly. “He’s gotten into more than enough trouble on his own, he definitely doesn’t need your encouragement.”

“Alright, alright.” James sighs, but in all honesty, he does agree with Lily. Hearing about Harry‘s many previous escapes has had them both feeling less than thrilled, to say the least.

“Well, I’ve got another one then,” he adds, walking up closer to the door to peak inside the moon lit room — the room that once belonged to Sirius and now hosts his son. “Protecting him, with my life.”

Lily feels her chest constricting with the entirety of the statement. “With our lives.” she corrects him quietly, leaning her head against his shoulder.

She watches Harry’s sleeping face, and tries her best not to think of the last time they’d vowed to do that — and the last time they almost did do that. And she’d do it again, in a heartbeat.

James wraps his arm around her shoulders, kissing the side of her head.

“Merlin, I’d take a hundred curses for that kid,” he says after a minute. Then, with a breathed chuckle. “Although, you know, I’d still prefer not having to bite the grass anytime soon.”

Lily smiles weakly. “You always hated to eat your greens.”

James turns his head to look down at her, an incredulous expression on his handsome face, before he suddenly bursts out laughing. “Wow.” he snorts. “Can’t believe Prefect and Head Girl Lily Evans would ever pull a pun.”

Lily giggles despite herself, reveling in this moment of quiet solitude. “Oh, she’d never,” she replies with mocked disapproval, before her lips tug into a smile. “But Lily Potter certainly would.”

She thinks James’s smile could probably light the entire bloody house. “I love you, Mrs. Potter.” he smiles, like the love struck teenager he hasn’t been in almost seventeen years.

Lily blushes, although she reckons she really shouldn’t anymore, being in her thirties and all. “I love you too, Mr. Potter.”

A slight creak to their right makes them both turn, and Lily’s blush increases, now twinged with a bit of guilt as she’s met with the confused eyes of their son.

“Dunno what’s more worth asking about,” Harry lulls tiredly, blinking against the light in the hallway. “Why you two’ve been standing in front of my bedroom for the past half hour, or what’s gotten you to giggle on about…?”

Lily bites her lip, sparing Harry a sheepish smile. “Sorry, sweetheart,” she replies genuinely. “We didn’t mean to wake you.”

“We’re just checking on you.” James adds, perhaps unnecessarily.

Lily notices the look of confusion on Harry‘s face. “Uh…right,” he replies slowly. “Checking for what?”

“To know you’re okay.” she explains gently.

Harry raises a brow, lips twitching amusedly. “I’m fine,” he chuckles. “I was asleep, you know…not much I could do that you’d have to check on.”

“It’s just a nice change,” James pipes up, clearly wanting to lighten their conversation. “You — sleeping so quietly, not scurrying around, beating your old man at quidditch.”

Harry snorts. “Yeah, well, I could still beat you, even with my eyes closed.” he retorts jokingly.

James gasps in mock appall; „In your dreams!“

Harry snickers, with that same cheeky glint in his eyes which Lily‘s seen plenty of times before, on James. “Yeah, there too.”

Is it weird that I've missed how much pain your writing evokes before Jily gets together like they are totally fine but also completely broken? I don't know how to explain it, or how you do it, but it always has me in my feelings and I can't wait to see where it goes!

Thanks, Anon, I don't think it's weird at all!

So pleased to hear that you're enjoying no place like home, next chapter should be out tomorrow and offers a glimpse of some Jily past... so, more pain!
