Surprise Update: It Only Takes A Taste
Tumblr media
It's been far too long since I updated It Only Takes A Taste (When You Know It's Good) and seeing as I owed you a tea party, I thought I'd surprise you.
I hope you enjoy the latest chapter of It Only Takes A Taste, called "The Mad Tea Party"! You can read it HERE or start at the beginning (I do apologise for the formatting at the start, I will one day fix it, but I just don't have the energy to do so now) HERE.

Read the Prologue on AO3
After an overdramatic incident during Queen Euphemia's Golden Jubilee Ball, Prince James, heir to the British throne, and Lily Evans, daughter of the Prime Minister, find themselves in desperate need of saving their reputation and are left with no other choice but to embark on some good old-fashioned damage control strategy. Only problem is, they absolutely despise each other. A tale of cakes, bad first impressions, drama queens (and kings), fun secrets and, most of all, love at not-so-first sight.
Inspired by "Red, White and Royal Blue" by Casey McQuiston.

@jilymicrofics May Day 29: Rebel
Crown Prince James Potter stared in shocked devastation at the sight before him.
His fiancée, the Lady Lily Evans, stared up at him defiantly as her black cloak was pulled back, her scarlet locks tumbling down, with her hands tied behind her back and on her knees.
“You’re. . . You’re a rebel. . .” James said, voice cracking in his heartbreak.
His sworn brother Lord Sirius Black put a hand on his shoulder in a comforting gesture, though even his mouth had dropped open in shock.
Lily’s mouth twisted into a wry smile. “So it seems.”
“Let her up,” Remus said sharply, glaring at the guards, who hastened to obey their boss. They hauled Lily up by her shoulders. She didn’t stumble like most would have; she did it as gracefully as she did everything else. James felt a pang in his chest at the sight.
“What the hell, Evans?” Sirius asked roughly.
“What do you think, my lord?” She asked with a sharp laugh. “You caught me. You said it yourself: I’m a rebel.” She tipped her head towards James.
James mouthed soundlessly. The boys stayed silent, waiting for him to say something. “How? Why?”
Lily cocked her head the way she did when she thought someone had said something stupid. “The way all the rebels became rebels. Someone saw my feelings of dissent and tried to recruit me. They succeeded.”
“Why did they succeed?” James’ voice became sharper. “What feelings of dissent?” He let his misery leak through his voice. “You’re the prince’s fiancée!”
Finally, some emotion crossed her face. Sadness. Anger. But no regret. That only sharpened the edges of James’ jagged feelings.
“Yes,” she whispered. “I am.”
“They must have hated that,” Peter commented shrewdly. “The rebels, I mean.”
Lily raised her shoulders in a casual shrug. “It depended. They switched between thinking it useful and cumbersome and ‘unfaithful to our principles’.”
The amusement in the final words and the ‘our’ used caused rage to coil his insides. “Yeah? How much insider information did you pass onto them to make them think our relationship was useful?”
At that, she looked shocked. “I would never do that,” she protested. “James—”
“Your Highness to you,” Sirius stated coldly. “And you’ll forgive us if we find that hard to believe. You were just found red-handed consorting with the rebels. Seeing how close to the Crown you are, it’s a short leap to guess you were passing on information.”
Lily’s jaw clenched. “I joined the rebellion because my principles would not allow me another option,” she said, dangerously calm. “The same principles would never let me fake a relationship with someone just to get information.”
Relief and mistrust and sorrow warred in James’ mind and heart. “What principles? You still haven’t answered the question. Why did you become a – a rebel?”
Conviction burned in Lily’s eyes. “I became a rebel because *I support the rights of the low classes to equal protection under the law in all aspects of the society. I believe in the humane treatment of creatures, magical and non-magical all the same. I oppose discrimination on the basis of blood or gender or magical ability. I oppose political structures that benefit the few at the expense of the many. I oppose, in general, the concept of lineage and heredity as an argument for social superiority at all – which includes the title I hold as* scion to the House of Evans and fiancée to the Crown Prince.”
Thoroughly taken aback, all four boys stared at her. In the dying sunlight, Lily looked like an avenging goddess, emerald eyes glittering. Bitterness and longing and love welled in James’ stomach. “My parents are good rulers.”
It was a weak response to the iron in Lily’s stance and voice, but he didn’t have anything else.
Lily’s eyes softened. “They are,” she offered. “But don’t you see, James? The very fact that our lives depend on whether the rulers are good or bad. . . How terrible it is? Don’t we deserve a say in our own fates? Don’t people of lower classes than us – who are not at all different from us except in circumstances of birth – deserve every one of the rights we have to healthcare, education, occupation? Doesn’t—”
“That’s enough,” Sirius said, sounding enraged, and yet there was uncertainty on his face. “We don’t listen to the yammering nonsense of rebels. Take her to the dungeons.”
The guards looked extremely nervous at the thought of arresting their future Queen, but they nodded, grabbing Lily and beginning to walk.
“Wait,” James called, having no idea why he was doing what he was; his legs moved of their own accord to reach Lily and the guards. She looked up at him, and he could see the tenderness she had for him in her eyes and face.
Was it a lie?
“Was any of it real?” His voice was hoarse with emotion.
It may have been a trick of the light, but James thought he could see tears in Lily’s eyes. “Every bit of it,” she said softly, and there was finally some regret in her voice.
It did not make him feel better.
He nodded, unable to believe of disbelieve it. “Take her away. And—” He hesitated when the guards turned to him again. “Treat her well.”
He watched her walk towards the dungeons, straight-backed and proud, before turning to go back to his friends, the fear and uncertainty and sorrow on their faces matching the raging emotions in him, except multiplied a few thousand times.
** - taken from The Futile Facade, fourth fic of the Rigel Black Chronicles. Check it out, it's amazing!
Slightly inspired by Black Mage series (lots of Ryiah and Darren vibes).

“i fought the war but the war won.”
“breaking news: the heiress of evans throne is dead.”
“lily evans announced to be the next heiress of the crown.”
i love royalty aus but i also love angst so why not combine the two!! so basically an au where’s petunia died and lily becomes the heir and there’s a war going on between several kingdoms so lily’s leaving her country to survive. she meets this poet who was assigned by the royal court: remus lupin and he brings this fellow soldier who was dispatched to protect the royals. lily’s like grieving her sister and she’s in her reputation era!! this art didn’t do lily any justice ://

Fic Request/
So I've been watching downton abbey and then I started watching the Crown. I had an idea for a fan fiction alternate universe. where lily is a/the princess and has magic but was tutored at home and not Hogwarts and somehow the wizarding world no longer going to be in hiding and they want to her to marry a wizard and the pureblood men (James, Surius, Lucius, Frank etc) are told and she ends up with James but they didn't go to school togetrh. I don't know it sounded interesting in my head and I feel it's not coming out right in words. thanks for anyone who read this

At The Beginning
Chapter 8 is up!!
Snippet:
“I — what?” Lily laughed unsure if she had just heard what she thought she’d just heard.
“It’s not as absurd as it may sound-”
“May sound?” Lily retorted turning her back to him. “Can you actually hear yourself? Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ! I’m not some long lost bloody princess because, first of all, she is dead! You just told me that! And second of all, I’m not a goddamn princess!”
“You’ve said so yourself, you don’t know who your family is! But the people you dream about … they are them! I hear you talk in your sleep, Lily. I hear you say their names. My name! I hear you say things that I’ve only ever heard Liliana say.”
James pointed to the portrait and Lily stared long and hard because now that he said it, she knew that her dreams were why these people looked familiar to her. The family in the portrait was the family she dreamt of. It seemed so obvious the more Lily stared at them.
“That doesn’t prove anything,” she said not sure if she believed even herself. Her eyes refused to leave the portrait.
“You’re right, it doesn’t. How about the fact that you said you were found in Barford Woods thirteen years ago wearing that red coat?”

The Lord and His Lady
am i still fixated a little bit on this universe? yes. is this the first bit of writing i’ve looked at in six months? also yes. has this actually been finished since christmas? mhm. anyways, here is a little james and lily for you in TRAU. will this become more, maybe i’m not sure. a little insight into remus and sirius while we’re at it as well. sorry it’s not what people are asking for, but hopefully i’ll get there soon. here’s this to make up for it :)
word count: 706
My Lord,” James smiled, pushing his glasses further up his nose and straightening out his jacket slightly. He ignored Sirius’ quiet snort, turning around to see the face of the voice.
“My Lady,” he replied back, his usual smug grin resting on his face, much to the disappointment it seemed to the lady in front of him, who rolled her eyes in response.
“Must you always be so cocky?” She asked, hesitating for a moment before taking the outstretched arm he held out for her.
“Yes, of course,” he smacked Sirius’ arm when he started to talk, leading Lily away from the Prince and around the back of the palace to the greenhouses. They kept quiet for the most part, enjoying the scenery and the nature around them. Though, James wasn’t looking around them.
He looked over at the woman by his side, her flowing red hair tied back in a delicate braid cascading down her back, the light from the sun hitting it delicately, mixing the colours together, a soft ginger mixed with the dark auburn. Her dress blew with the wind, catching ever so slightly in the grass where the ends were too long, flowers brushing against it, the forest green blending in with the floor beneath. Her lips were parted ever so slightly, a light pink, shining and glossy and so tempting. But his gaze locked in on her eyes. Her beautiful, captivating gemstone green eyes, staring straight at him.
He coughed, looking away, catching a smirk forming on her lips. “Don’t say anything, Evans,” he warned, face relaxing when her calm laughter rang out across the empty space.
“I wasn’t going to Potter,” she answered back, earning a scoff from him. “Well, maybe I was. Do you always stare at me for so long when we walk?”
“Of course I do. You always look…” he paused, raking his eyes up and down her again before resting on her sparkling, curious eyes. “You always look so beautiful.”
Now it was her turn to blush, the redness standing out against her pale skin and dotted freckles ever so prettily. She turned her head away, picking up the pace of their walk, seemingly ending the conversation there. He wasn’t going to have that.
“You don’t believe me? I could go on for hours and hours about how beautiful you are. Ask Sirius, he’ll tell you.”
“I don’t doubt that for a second,” she answered quietly, but a small smile was there and he inwardly cheered to himself.
“Speaking of the Prince,” he started, eyes glancing around for wandering lords and extended ears. “Any luck getting him and Mr Lupin to be friendly yet?” It was a no from his end and would most likely be the same from her, but she was far more determined and far scarier when she wanted to be.
“Not on my side. I don’t understand why they won’t talk to each other. Sirius has warmed up to everyone around here but him, and Remus tries the very best he can to be away from his presence,” she sighed, reaching behind to pull her braid to the front, twisting it around her finger.
“Well if that’s the case he needs to find a new job. He can’t ignore him if he’s overseeing his stay,” he muttered, drawing yet another laugh from the girl.
“Well, I can talk to Remus again today and see what the issue is. I have an idea and I really hope I’m wrong, but if I’m right...then the two of them have some talking to do in order to gain trust.”
“I don’t suppose you could share your brilliant ideas with me?” He tried, instantly on the receiving end of one of her glares.
“No, Potter I can’t.”
James hid his smile behind his hand, keeping his eyes locked on hers, and she smiled back, reaching down and tangling their fingers together before dropping them instantly. He sucked in a breath and ignored the blush crawling up both of their faces.
“Okay,” he breathed out, reaching out himself this time and tugging her closer. “Okay.”
Her soft smile was breathtaking and he let his heart stop for a moment in his chest. God, she was everything.

im a little high off of my last update, so here, have a snippet of the next chapter of royal invasion:
She levels a hostile glare at James, whose shoulders seem to curve inwards with what she hopes is shame. "Say something, damn it!"
At her outburst, James flinches slightly, colour rising in his cheeks.
"I have an explanation... but you're not going to like it," he says at last.
"That's for me to decide," she replies coolly, crossing her arms over her chest.

Jegulily slow burn royalty au??? James being a prince, Lily a being the daughter of the kingdom’s head knight who he is in love with and plans to marry BUT an enemy kingdom of many generations agree to finally make peace if James marries their second born son. James agreeing to said marriage for the sake of his kingdom. Jily sneaking around the castle, Lily being possesive, James slowly falling for his annoyingly aloof fiance and developing conflicting feelings. All with a B story wolfstar happening in the background- do you see the vision???

Hello everyone! It’s still hard to believe that I’ve hit 6k followers this month! I can’t believe there are so many of you interested in my silly little stories!!
In order to celebrate, I’ve asked you what kind of event you wanted, and you’ve voted for the tropes/AU event! So, here we go! I’m going to use the same prompts as a previous event, as I prepared a pretty thorough prompt list already.
I hope you have fun during this event!
Carole, what is all this new mess now?
The idea is simple: you can make a request for a character I write for (the list of characters is under the cut) by choosing a prompt in the lists that are (also) under the cut. You can add specific details if you have a more precise idea (but please, remember that I do not write nsfw content). In the coming weeks, I’ll write all your requests! I will accept a maximum of 15 requests, or as many requests as I will have received in the next 72 hours, depending on how many requests are submitted! The requests for this event will thus be open between today (August 14 2023) and Thursday (August 17 2023).
How can we request a fic?
You can request a fic by sending me a message through my inbox. I will not accept requests sent through private messages because it is very difficult for me to keep track of them that way. You can, however, request a fic on or off anon. So, if you’re a little shy, don’t hesitate to send me an anonymous ask!
You must choose a character in the list under the cut, for whom I will write a one-shot using the prompt you have chosen (the list is also under the cut). You can write down only the letter/number corresponding to the prompt you’ve chosen instead of copying them in full if it’s easier for you. You can choose an AU or a trope or an AU and a trope. You can also add whether you would prefer some fluff, angst or hurt/comfort.
You can include additional details if you have a specific idea and want to see it included in the fic ; however, I can reject a request if I don’t feel comfortable with the details you’ve added.
Your request must thus include :
A character from the list below
A prompt from the list below
The combinations for the prompts can be :
An AU only
A trope only
An AU + a trope
For example, you can request :
Caspian, modern AU
OR Caspian, Friends to lovers
OR Caspian, modern AU, Friends to lovers
If you have any questions regarding the event, don’t hesitate to ask me! Also, a little nice word in the request is always nice, don’t forget to at least say ‘hi’ :)
I hope you have fun with this event! I can’t wait to see the combinations you will choose!
Thank you all for your support! Have a lovely day! :)

Ben Barnes
Caspian
Ryan Brenner
Logan Delos

It Only Takes A Taste
Tumblr media
Surprise! I updated this fic of mine which I should have finished a long time ago and still intend to finish this summer. Can I just say that I realised that writing this silly little thing is kind of addictive? Click HERE if you’d like to start reading at Chapter 1. Click HERE if you’d like to start reading the latest Chapter (Chapter 21). I intend to update more works this week, but wanted to gift you this now, so you’d have something to keep you going and to - I hope - enjoy!

Hello, hope you're doing well! I've been wracking my brain trying to remember if a Juno AU was included in your Jily panel/collection/multiverse lol but I don't think it was? Or if it was I can't find it. I feel stupid 😭 anyway I just want to say that you became Jily royalty with that panel thing (you already were, but this was like an incoronation).
P.S. Have you seen 'Warm Bodies'? Because I think they're very Jily coded (please don't tell me you drew that too because I'll feel like I'm going insane for not noticing) ❤️
Sorry for freaking out but your art is spectacular and it makes my brain explode sometimes 🥰
i did include a Juno panel! it’s one of my top 5 movies, so i really wanted to include it
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS
and yes i’ve seen warm bodies but jsjsjs idk if i’m really into zombie love cause… that’s a corpse babes but idk maybe it works (?
it’s ok and thank you for this message!

A little snippet from Long Live
Hi everyone! Chapter 1 is already underway, but a long week of intense study is waiting for me (at least until next Tuesday), so in the meantime I present to you a little snippet of what is about to come in Long Live...
“That’s my mother in a nutshell, Your Royal Highness,” she declared. She sounded almost… proud? “She likes to think she can still terrorise me. I find it quite amusing, to be honest.”
Inexplicably, a true, genuine smile appeared on Lily’s face, nothing like the fake, sardonic one he had been receiving from her since they first saw each other that morning.
James gaped for a moment.
Then he sagged against the car’s leather seat, quietly collecting himself from the surprise.
“It’s so weird,” he said, ultimately. “She is exactly like my mother.”
“I guess that’s why they get along so well,” Lily replied, unaffected. Then, she looked at him, eyes shining with a mocking expression. “That’s one thing we have in common, Potter. Both our mothers are absolute menaces.”
Minerva loudly coughed from the passenger seat.
“Oh, my,” Lily exhaled, sounding not even a little bit concerned. “Have I just committed high treason, speaking of our monarch like that?”
She really needed to stop being so funny.
He couldn’t let her have the satisfaction of making him laugh. He just couldn’t.
“Don’t worry,” he replied. “After what you did at the ball, she is already considering exile for you.”
The corners of her mouth twitched, almost as if she was trying to suppress a smile.
“I would very much like to be sent away from here,” she declared. “I was wondering, do you have a secret dungeon in Buckingham Palace? I’d rather spend a few months there than tour the country with you, to be honest.”
“Your feelings are completely and utterly reciprocated,” he fired back. “Sadly, we closed our dungeons to the public last year. Now they’re only used when one of us needs a secret room to have very naughty sex with the likes of Christian Grey.”
“Mr Wales,” Minerva almost barked, her voice bordering on hysteric, but James wasn’t paying attention.
This time, he had seen it. On her face, clear as the sun, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it quick.
A smile. Small, reluctant. Amused.
Ha, he thought. Take that, you hellish demon.

I just noticed that you were asking for percabeth recs, and as a fellow percabeth fan,
I would like to recommend annabethy (previosly Jillian Emily) on fanfiction.net (I know! a crap site, but unfortunately the best percabeth works would only be found there) they usually write aus- they have written an astrophysicist au (a personal favourite of mine), teacher au, writer, artist and even a taylor swift atw based au! also their works are very high quality and not at all what you'll expect from ffnet.
then there's is sinfulindulgence , who blew up in 2020-2021 because of their royalty aus (rated mature because you know...) I love their characterization of Annabeth in particular, they say their stories are "dark" but I didn't find them that (since I have read fics darker than that in Jily fandom), though they also have a teens and up version for some. Her plotlines are so engaging (and high quality works as well), that you'll find yourself clicking the 'next' button as if you are watching a popular shoujo anime!
then there's theWritingManiac, whose "all's fair in love and war (then what are we fighting for)" was the rage in 2020-2021 as it was a harry potter slytherin annabeth! and Gryffindor Percy! au. bonus points for making percy and his friend group akin to the marauders! their other stories are also too good.
then there is average canadian, fangirlshrieks (their supernatural aus. are. JUST. <3 <3 <3), somethingmorecreative, maydayparade8123, NotaGuestAnymore (whose oneshots are going to make you CACKLE with glee), herecomesthesun, and seaweedbraens (their soulmate aus are the warmth of my hot chocolate on a cold winter day)
I think, these should keep you occupied for a few months! Lmk if you need more recs!
Love,
an anon who fell in love Theogony <3
ok. this is amazing. this is so comprehensive! thank you so much, these are all going onto my [already very long] percabeth TBR!! you are so good at advertising fics lol please let me know if we can get a contract together to promote mine this way

Hi! I’m looking for a fic and it’s driving me mad not being able to find it! At the very least I would like to know of it’s been deleted so I can finally be at peace lol
Anyway I remember James being the king and sort of hiding from it? Lily owned a café that James used to hide in. Lily was very secluded?? She didn’t know that James was the king until one day when she visited the palace and finally realised who James really was.
This is a great one!
