We all know James and Lily live a long happy life together but do you know how they met? Was it on the Hogwarts Express where one accidentally bumped the overhead luggage and caused it to drop on the other? Or was it because Lily wanted to know who lets their dog pee on her lovely Petunia that she keeps next to her door and waits to yell at him as he went about his morning routine? Who knows? Who will tell? And just so everyone can know the different answers to the above question, this year’s theme for jilytober fest is…🥁🥁🥁🥁 ‘MEET CUTES/UGLIES!’
Disclaimer: this post is a lil’ long
Bittersweet
We all know honey gets sweeter when you stir it up, but can you make it bitter too? What happens when we give you a fluff prompt but ask you to give us angst? We get bittersweet jily, addictive and delicious. Oh and how about when you turn our angsty prompt into sweet nothings and sugar coated love declarations? Absolute delight! Come ask for your prompt and twist it to your flavour
The participants will be given a fluff prompt which should be interpreted as angst. And vice versa. Those interested in participating in this challenge can send an ask, and a prompt will be assigned to you! (Yes, both writers and artists can participate 🥰). There is no deadline to register for this event.
Masquerade challenge
Are you as good as a Marauder at detective work? Can you sniff an authors tells at the poker table? Can you sense the writer before the end of the story? Can you tell which James loves Lily the most? If you think you can come have a guess 😉
A few writers will write and anonymously submit their fics to the challenge collection (will be posted soon). Readers have to match the fics to the writers. The options for authors will be given via a tumblr poll. Everyone is encouraged to participate :)
To be a writer, send an ask saying that you wish to participate by the 20th of September (so that you get enough time to write)

i'll marry you after this
Written for @jilymicrofics Mystery Microfic May Event. Everyone's guessed me right!
A special thanks to @eastwindmlk for the wonderful banner as well.
Prompt 9: Whisper
“I’ll f-fucking marry y-you after this,” James breathes.
“You’ve already proposed to me,” she jokes, voice low and devoid of humour. It takes all her effort not to let her focus slip.
“N-no, fuck,” he grits his teeth. “I m-mean marry you after t-this. I don’t want to wait. W-we can v-very well die soon and I d-don’t want to d-die without b-becoming your h-husband.”
During a mission, Lily and James find themselves in a noise-activated trap. With James injured and time running out as the Death Eaters close in on them, Lily has to work fast to save her fiancé and get out.
read on ao3 or under the cut
warnings: blood, pain, mild violence, references to dying
“James!”
A whistle, a gasp. Lily stares at the arrow with wide eyes. The head is embedded into the stone where she used to stand. She moves, foot slipping across the small puddle of blood. A loud thump echoes in the room as she falls. Panels open on the walls. She dodges the arrows flying straight at her. Something clicks as the last arrow whistles past her ear. She looks around the room where she and James have jumped in to escape the Death Eaters.
James.
He’s on the floor, teeth gritted, breathing heavily. He seems to be close to screaming. Lily shakes at the sight of him. Panic bubbles from the bottom of her stomach, and she tamps it down. Carefully, quietly, she crawls towards her fiancé, eyes darting at the walls, terrified of anything that’ll trigger it. But thank god, thank god. She reaches for him, pulls him towards her lap.
Blood. So much of it. So much of his life leaking out of him and onto stone. Her breaths come out in strained bursts. Trembling fingertips reach towards the arrow sticking out of his abdomen. She presses her hand around the wound, a futile effort to keep what’s left of him inside—her mind blanks; the four walls around them close in, trapping her, draining all hope.
“Lily—”
“Shh—shh…” she whispers, pressing crimson fingers against his mouth. “Noise… activates…”
James’ eyes flutter and dart around. “O-okay…”
“D-don’t move—”
“Fuck!”
“Sorry—I’m sorry.” She looks closely at how bad he is, how hard she has to fight the fates this time to keep him alive. She bites back a cry. “Oh my god—no, no, it’s f-fine—you’ll be f-fine.”
“C-comforting after that l-little f-freak out...” He musters a pained smile.
“S-shut up.” That’s him trying, but she can’t smile for him. Not this time. “Shut up. It’s deep and poisoned—Christ, James.” She sniffles, pushing back the tears, the panic. “I-I have a fix, but I have to—I’m sorry—I have to pull it out.”
“... I h-have to be q-quiet?”
“Y-yeah. I’m sorry—”
“F-fuck it. I-I’m ready.”
“Okay.” She braces herself. It’s like the poison inside him is transferring to her, spreading dread and an unshakeable feeling that they will not survive. Not this time. “Just… deep breath, okay, and keep quiet.”
Lily barely moves, but James hisses. She tenses, but all remains quiet. She pets James’ hair, kisses him. He barely kisses back, lips trembling, all of him shaking—whether from pain or because he’s dying. She doesn’t know—she doesn’t want to. He’ll live. She’ll make sure he fucking does. They’re not dying here. Dying here kills everything they ever fought, sacrificed, and died for, all to keep a man hellbent on destroying everything they loved at bay.
She hears the thundering footsteps of the Death Eaters in the distance. It won’t be long before they find them. If she doesn’t move now, if she keeps hesitating, then they will die here. It won’t matter what she wants. She steels herself, looks down at James, curls her hand into a tight fist and pushes her arm along his lips.
“W-what are you doing?” he murmurs.
“Bite on me.”
“What—”
“Do it, Potter; I’m pulling it out in one go.”
She shoves her arm into his mouth as he protests, at the same time pulling the arrow out in one movement. She grits her teeth, a whimper hissing out as James’ teeth sink past her skin. A quiet, muted grunt escapes him—not loud enough for the trap. They stay still for a few seconds, laboured breaths stuttering out.
Then, she gets to work.
She’s best at non-verbal healing spells, but it takes immense concentration. She stitches the wound, stops the poison from running its course, but she can’t expel it. That’s for the healers at St Mungo’s to deal with. For that to happen, they must get out. Now.
The footsteps thunder closer.
“I’ll f-fucking marry y-you after this,” James breathes.
“You’ve already proposed to me,” she jokes, voice low and devoid of humour. It takes all her effort not to let her focus slip.
“N-no, fuck,” he grits his teeth. “I m-mean marry you after t-this. I don’t want to wait. W-we can v-very well die soon and I d-don’t want to d-die without b-becoming your h-husband.”
“Okay. Marry me.” Tears sting her eyes. “Marry me. Let’s have kids.”
“R-really?”
“You want a son, right?” she grins at him, tears falling down her cheeks. “I’ll give you one.”
“I l-love you so m-much.”
“Don’t,” she grits, not mistaking the tone he let slip. “Don’t you dare.”
James nods, falling silent. They need to escape. She props James against her, looking around. Despite the trap being noise-activated, she can still do magic. An idea occurs to her—risky, but it’s their best chance. And it has to be non-verbal. Doubt makes her pause, but one look at James, and she knows it’s a risk she must take.
Holding him against her, she closes her eyes and concentrates. Two spells—both have to be perfect. She steadies her breath. In a split second, explosions thunder overhead. The panels open, and arrows rain towards its direction. At the same time, she grips James and apparates them out of the trap, leaving a loud crack in its wake.
They land on wet grass—the rendezvous point. Lily on her back, an unconscious James in her arms. There’s noise—horror, joy, alarm, familiar, safe, but it’s all fuzzy. She loses sense of everything. It all converges and crashes on her like a wave, dragging her in the rip, weighing down her lids. Her left arm throbs from James’ bite, pinpoints of pain on her shoulders, extreme heat…
But it’s okay.
They’re now safe with the Order, their friends.
So, she lets darkness overtake her.

Unexhilarating Stakeouts (And Their Surprising Benefits) || 984 Words || Read on Ao3
Written for @jilymicrofics Mystery Microfic May Event. Y'all guessed correct with 60%! Thank you to @eastwindmlk for the banner!
James and Lily find themselves paired together for an Order stakeout (and an uneventful one at that).
All things considered, it wasn’t a terrible assignment.
Sure, they were stuck behind a copse of rather thorny bushes that made moving to stretch a pain in the arse (literally), but it was a nice, temperate night somewhere outside of Canterbury. A few clouds dappled the waning moon above, a soft breeze danced atop the thorny bushes to keep them cool, and Lily Evans’ head kept falling onto his shoulder as she drifted in and out of sleep.

New 2024 Jilyawards Team
First of all our thanks must go to Ava for steering the ship these past two years of awards. It takes a lot of energy and organisation to run an event like this every year, and we are very appreciative of you volunteering your time.
With Ava’s exit a new team effort has taken over the awards for 2024! We have mutually decided to maintain our anonymity to avoid awards related things bleeding over into our personal blogs.
We also extend our thanks to @jilymicrofics for offering us space in their community discord to post links.
We have some exciting changes coming this year so watch this space!

@jilymicrofics | August Prompt 21 | 684 words
“And how’s my favorite radical?”
The coffee shop was already bustling when Lily entered. Three months ago, she’d made a New Year's Resolution to treat herself more (within reason). Since then, her semi-weekly walks to Three Broomsticks Cafe have served as a respite from deary memos and disappointing memos. The distractingly cute owner doesn't hurt either.
“Don’t be silly, James. Radicals don’t wear iron-pressed suits.”
“You know you’re my hero, Evans.”
The second time she visited Three Broom Sticks was for a chocolate fix after a terrible day at work. At 7 pm, the cafe was cleared out. The quiet, mixed with James's soft smile and delicious pastries put her at ease.
So much so that Lily started ranting about her day.
Since then, James has always asked her for work updates. He also couldn't get over her job as legislative director at a large climate nonprofit. Which, yeah, was a terrific ego boost. Lily knows it's impressive, especially at 28. It's another thing to have James tell her.
Bantering with James was becoming one of her favorite things. but t it was also one of the most confusing; did James just like the job or did he like her? And no, despite her friend's instance, Lily refused to make a move. She would not be the creepy customer hitting on the barista/pastry chef/owner, no matter how gorgeous, sweet, and funny he was.
“You with me, Lily?”
Lily shook her head, hoping it looked like she was surveying the options instead of fantasizing.
“Yep! Present as always,” she managed with a smile.
“Great.” James started tapping his fingers on the counter. “Um— I know you’re busy saving the world—“
“James.”
“— No, I’m right and you know it,” he continues forcing a soft dose of eye contact that made her blush.
“Anyways... We’re having a community organization night tonight, it was actually my brother’s idea! There are a lot of people who want to get involved with their community but aren’t exactly sure how to, hence the community org night. It’s in a week and I thought you could do a table? Maybe make heroes out of us?”
James paused, dragging his hand through his black hair. “Um...I know you’re busy but it would be great to have you!”
Lily was ashamed that her first thought was “I want to touch his hair.” She’s a professional for god’s sake! What’s worse was that her second thought was “how can I make this work?” As legislative director, Lily doesn’t interact much with volunteers. However, the outreach and volunteer coordinator happened to be her former roommate and current best friend. If she brought James’s event during this week’s leadership meeting she doubts anyone would tell her not to go, especially Mary.
“How many people are you expecting?” Lily quickly asked, already preparing the meeting.
James looked almost bashful. “Right now we have 120 RSVPs, which is kind of all this place can fit.”
Damn, Lily thought. It made sense, though. Everyone loved Three Broomsticks and its energy, with community-made art, pride flags, and unique mugs.
“I’m in!”
Suddenly, James had reached over the counter and swung his arms around her shoulders. She leaned into him just as he froze up.”
“Shit, shit!” James exclaimed as he recoiled.
Lily couldn’t get a word in before he started talking, pulling the stands of his hair. “I’m so sorry. I can’t believe— so unprofessional of me!”
“James it’s fine. All good.”
“I was just really excited that you’re coming, I hope you still are,” James said with a forced laugh.
“Of course I am! I’m about two seconds away from it being in the Google Calendar— then you know it’s official,” Lily joked. James just nodded.
“Well anyways, here’s your regular, it’s on me today.”
Lily wanted to argue but James was practically begging her to leave. Their flirty banter had dissipated in seconds she couldn't fix it. Instead, she thanked him, tipped what she would have paid, and promised to be back in a few days.
Somehow this particular trip wasn’t as restorative as her others.

But no, they had to make an example of him. Which just so happened to involve lime-green robes.
Instead of going back to Hogwarts, Draco is assigned an apprenticeship at St Mungo's, here he runs into the last person he expected to see: Hermione Granger.
The war clearly had been unkind to both of them, and both of them are now facing the consequences of their actions.

Obsession (Part 2)
@jilymicrofics’s prompt #28. Hope I nailed it.
Part 1
Prompt: Nostalgic
Words: 690
After yet another day spent groping in the dark, James threw himself on the creaking bed of the small hotel room he had rented. He hadn't been too sophisticated with his temporary accommodation, and for some reason he liked the idea of the place having a single window looking out onto a dark grey concrete wall.
Technically, he could’ve gone home. His colleagues had found nothing to indicate where the bastard might have taken his wife, and even James himself had ascertained that there was nothing out of place. The murderer, and now also kidnapper, hadn’t touched anything. The table was set exactly as if Lily were to emerge from the kitchen at any moment with a roast pan in hand, her brown suede jacket was hanging on the coat rack in the hall, and her favourite ankle boots, the ones she had recently worn to every event they attended, were right beside her fuzzy slippers. Everything was normal but she was too painfully absent for James to be able to stay in that house without going crazy, so he paid in advance for a week at the closest place to the police station he could find.
He shouldn't have worked on the case. He was too involved, and even his partner feared that he might risk his own life to get back the woman he loved, but since their superior hadn't objected when he saw him enter the office less than twenty-four hours after the fateful call, who was Sirius to speak?
With a loud sigh, James pulled his wallet out of the coat’s inner pocket, searching for the small wedding photo he always carried with him. In the image now slightly creased at the corners, Lily was laughing happily as he made her twirl, her red hair half hidden by the voluminous veil she had chosen, the transparent sleeves of the dress highlighting her slender arms. She had always been tiny, more than a few inches shorter than him, and weighed so little compared to a man... He had to forcibly stop his mind from taking this dangerous path, one that led his imagination to what that psychopath could’ve done to her, or could be doing right at that moment.
He had to stay calm, to rein his emotions, otherwise he would’ve worked to the point of exhaustion, until his eyes asked for mercy and closed spontaneously. He felt guilty, and he felt fooled, but he knew it was of little use, that he had to keep his mind clear to earn a chance to hug Lily again.
Even before they got married, even before he started the academy and probably even when they were just kids, she had always been his anchor, a safe haven in the storm; the fact she now was the victim, the centre of his work and not the one who lightened his days and made him smile, made him forget for a moment the horrors he witnessed, added a layer of sadism to the whole ordeal.
“This is what he wants,” Sirius had told him when he found his best friend with his head in his hands, staring at an unspecified point on a folder full of papers whose meaning he could barely understand. “If you panic, he wins.”
But James wasn't panicking. He was just homesick, obviously not for a building but for the sense of peace that space shared with his wife and only her gave him. He missed walking through the door and smelling dinner, or seeing her curled up on the couch in front of the fireplace reading one of her terrible romance novels. He missed her closeness, her laugh, and how her eyes became bright when she recalled the good old days at school. He was longing for something that would never return, because even if he found her, even if by some miracle she was unharmed, such a trauma would change her, and nothing would ever be the same again.
“I miss you,” he murmured to the smiling face in the photo he still held in his hands, praying that, somehow, she could feel him close.

Mystery Microfic May is back for another year!
If you would like to participate as an author this year:
Please join the jilymicrofics discord, or send us a DM to get early access to the May prompt list.
Enter your microfic into this anonymous collection prior to April 30th.
1 Fic per author, maximum word count 1k words
Must feature jily in some fashion
Fics will be released simultaneously here during May and then authors will be guessed via poll.
No author is to confirm or deny guesses
Authors will be revealed once all polls have closed.
*Authors can still submit normal May micros to the usual collection - they just won’t be part of this event.
Any questions? - Check out the FAQ below the cut.
Feel free to reach out on discord, via asks or DMs.
Mystery Microfic May- FAQ
In light of some questions we’ve had via DM and discord we’ve created an FAQ, please be sure to ask more questions if you’d like something clarified.
1. Do I have to be part of the discord in order to participate?
It’s not a requirement, but we’ve found discord is the easiest platform for talking about events and giving updates. You can send us a DM to get access to the prompt list if you don’t want to join the discord (the discord is a very fun space though).
2. What happens if two authors select the same prompt?
Not an issue! There's no claim on prompt words
3. Can I submit for more than one prompt?
We allow for up to one submission per author.
4. Does it matter if I’m new to the jily fandom and haven’t posted much or at all yet?
No! All the more reason to participate - this is all just a bit of fun. We’d just love to see more jily content out there.
5. When will authors be revealed?
Once all polls have closed.
6. What if I want to do prompts but don’t want to take part in the event?
That’s totally okay! That’s why we have a separate AO3 subcollection for the event. May micros will still run as normal with the prompt list pinned and you can add them to the usual AO3 collection - micros added to the regular AO3 collection won’t be included in the event.

Titles
(to be taken with a grain of salt)

??? Le Maître de forges AU - this literally did not exist until yesterday when I mentioned this book to Kelsey. Document still does not exist, but I'm thinking about it and it's looking some flavour of viable.
Jilychallenge Fairytale AU - also a document that does not exist, because I'm still waiting for my prompt, but I have high hopes for it. 😁

I absolutely want to write James transforming into a stag and standing still, hoping to pass as a statue. It's going to be - wait for it - insane.
Lily getting in a relationship with a man she barely even tolerates (James), just to get one up on Snape? You know you want to see it 👀
No clue but I really hope there will be some magical elements! Like enchanted items and stuff.

No 8. Prediction | Jily Micro March
Thank you @jilymicrofics for the prompt xx
Read on AO3 | 206 words
Euphemia Potter was many things: a brilliant woman, a kind hearted individual, a mischievous witch, and a human with a solid intuition.
It was this intuition that propelled Euphemia into action the day her son brought home Lily Evans.
When Euphemia had confided what she’d intuited to her husband, he’d trusted her without question. Fleamont Potter was a kind and humorous man who knew exactly what kind of intuition his wife had. It was for this reason that he was showing Lily his latest potions research while Euphemia stole James away to the garden.
“Mum, is something wrong?” James asked glancing his mum over with a frown.
“No my darling boy” she said smiling at his concern “something is actually very right”
“Okay” James prodded, waiting for her to continue.
“Here” Euphemia said handing him a small wooden box. “Tap your wand to it”
James opened the box and stilled. Euphemia watched her son stare at the diamond bring that sparkled brilliantly in the afternoon sun. She patted his shoulder fondly and got up to return to the house.
As it turned out, in a completely un-surprising turn of events, Euphemia’s intuition was spot on in its prediction; Lily Evans became Lily Potter seven months later.

A COMMINGLING OF EVENTS
A @jilymicrofics. Prompt: beginning. Words: 90.
James wasn’t sure when it began.
The first time Lily called him a toerag, perhaps. Or that time in fourth year when he spilt her potion, the look on her face… Or maybe it was in sixth year when she punched Avery square in the gob—wand forgotten—for using that word. Maybe it was all of them, or something else entirely.
The beginning.
But he was sure as Merlin in the middle of it now. Far too late to stop it, so he might as well enjoy the ride.

A restless waves rise and fall microfic (series). 🏴☠️ Pirate Jily AU.
Takes place a few days after this.
@jilymicrofics September Prompt 30: Echo || 1,000 Words
Written for @mppmaraudergirl's Blackevans BFF Week for Day 4 "Being Bros"
A warm breeze kisses Lily's face, the wind blowing her loose hair in time with the sails as The Minnie continues her course away from Jamaica and eastern on to Hispaniola and beyond. She sits on a banister towards the bow of the ship, glittering eyes focused on the expanse of the blue sea ahead of them, the only proof the last two days have happened worn on a chain around her neck and tucked into her clothes, close to her heart: a delicate gold ring, set with square-cut emeralds, flanked with diamonds.
A Potter family heirloom that now serves her. Her ring. Lily Potter.
They’d returned from their night with James’ parents quietly, practically floating with elation at their newfound status as husband and wife, and had slipped into their quarters and fallen asleep from the exhaustion and excitement of it all. The next day, they had encouraged (demanded) that the rest of the crew go ashore so that they may have more time to bask in the newness of it all…privately, without and fears of interruptions.
Today they left the island, the crew still none-the-wiser about what had transpired on its shores—completely unaware that their Captain and First Mate had pledged themselves to one another. They’d tell the crew in time, but for now it was something that was just theirs.
The bobbing waves stretch out in front of them, and Lily lets out a sigh. As wonderful as the last few days have been, it’s nice to be on the water once again. Her fingers absently run along the chain, tugging the ring from its hiding place so that she may hold it in her hands, may admire it in the brightness of the sun while the crew is otherwise occupied.
“Evans, Captain’s looking for—what is that?”
Jumping with a start and dropping the ring from her fingers, she turns to find Sirius’ gaze pinned to where her wedding ring hangs from the chain. After an initial pause, they reach for it in unison, Sirius’ fingers closing around it faster. He brings it as close to him as the chain allows, and his grey eyes roam the emeralds and diamonds before flicking up to her.
“He did it? You’re betrothed?”
Without even thinking, Lily raises her brows in a non-answer, though somewhere in her mind she registers the first part of his question—had Sirius Black been privy to James' plan to acquire the ring this weekend?
“There was a bit of a misunderstanding at the event,” Lily supplies, finding herself fighting back a smile. It had taken longer for her, but she and James had both become fond of Sirius, who—with his astute observations, surprisingly insightful advice, and dry wit—had endeared himself as a confidant to the both of them.
“What kind of misunderstanding?”
“I told my sister we were married.”
“Your sister was there?” His eyes flick somewhere behind her and she turns, spotting James standing back towards the helm watching the two of them with a pleased look.
“It’s a long story for another time,” Lily replies, eyes meeting James’ across the deck and registering the small nod he gives her—an agreement. Her grin widens under his gaze as she says the words aloud for the first time: “We’re married.”
Sirius Black was born and bread in the upper echelon of society, and though he’d shirked that life for one of piracy, he usually maintained some decorum. Which made the sound of him choking next to her so markedly pleasing.
“Married?” Incredulously, he whips his head to look at her, then down at the ring again. “He wasn’t even supposed to propose yet!”
“Sorry if we didn’t adhere to you prim and proper timeline—”
“Oh shut it Evans–”
She grins. “Potter.”
“I had helped him plan the damn thing for when we stop in Puerto Rico. And I don’t know, I thought there would be some sort of to-do on the ship for the actual wedding!”
Lily tugs him by the sleeve to bring him sitting next to her. “He mentioned returning to that luminescent bay. It sounded really lovely.”
“Captain and First Mate married without so much of a whisper of it to the crew, unbelievable.”
“I didn’t realize this meant so much to you.”
“The two of you mean a great deal to me, and it’s rare that true love manifests so plainly,” he admonishes before recoiling, as if realizing he’s peeled back a layer of his usual disinterested facade. He tucks a thick strand of sleek black hair behind his ear, trying to regain a polished air about him. “I’ve always found the whole idea of it rather exciting, you know, though things never really…lined up for me.” He casts her a wry sideways glance. “You’re not the only one who left an engagement behind, you know.”
Lily blinks, shocked at this peek into a world before the sea, before The Minnie, that Sirius doesn’t talk about often. “Oh, I didn’t realize—”
“Oh, stop your apology there,” he waves, looking out over the railing of the ship. “She was in love with my brother, but her father arranged the match to the heir. I believe my leaving worked out in everyone’s favor—there were many reasons couldn’t have made each other happy.” He pauses, but it’s not one of sadness. There’s a reflective nature to it, an echo of a smile on his lips, and Lily knows—like he knew about she and James—that he’s found their kind of happiness (and she has her suspicions of with whom, but will allow his secrets to remain such until he wishes them known).
Sirius shakes himself out of his reverie and glances her way again, brow raised. “When are you going to tell the others?”
A shrug of her shoulders. “In time, I suppose.”
“Well at least I get some sort of privilege here.”
Lily rolls her eyes and bumps her shoulder against his. “Next time there’s a big event, we’ll be sure to include you.”
