Art: It’s Real For Us [Gen]
Title: It’s Real For Us
Artists: lilyhbp
Characters: Lily Evans, Severus Snape
Pairings: Gen
SFW/NSFW: Safe for Work
Medium: Digital art, Painting & Airbrushing
Warnings: None
Why You Should View This: This bit of art is absolutely gorgeous. I’m not usually a fan of anything Snape, but I cannot help but adore this piece. Not only does it depict one of my favourite scenes from The Prince’s Tale, but the artist manages to give the scene a different kind of magic. It has a simply enchanting, dream-like quality.

Your blog is flawless, just saying. I think I'm in heaven. Anyway, do you know by any chance any good time travel fic involving marauders, I've read a few, but they're always hard to find.

Fic: No Angel [James/Lily]
Title: No Angel
Author: Maria Theresa
Characters:Lily (Evans) Potter, James Potter
Pairings: James/Lily
Rating: R/soft-NC-17
Wordcount: 3,500
Warnings: Excessive overuse of the pronoun “She.” You’ve been warned(Editor’s Additional Warnings: Hard topics - deals with fuzzy morals and the ethics of killing in war)
Summary: After she’s forced to kill someone during an Order mission, Lily isn’t sure who she is anymore and James helps her remember. She feels empty inside…nothing at all like the rush of fierce, feral, vicious hate that had coursed through her veins…
Why You Should Read This: This fic is written beautifully and believably. It is deep, emotional, and thought provoking all at once. The author isn’t afraid to explore the aftermath of difficult situations: does killing the enemy (a Death Eater) make you a bad person? What does it mean to be a good person in war? A truly top-notch piece.
Excerpt:
She can’t remember saying the words. She can’t even remember thinking them.
Avada Kedavra.
She remembers the way they all treated her at Headquarters, like she was some kind of fragile doll who couldn’t deal with the reality of war. With her face pale, vague nausea threatening to sweep her away, her fingers still trembling, her body icy cold, she wonders if she is just fooling herself about all of this. Was she really made for this? Being feisty and playing the tough girl only gets her so far. But this is war. And war makes murderers of the innocent. Murderer. She is a murderer.
Lily lets out a deep breath and turns over onto her side.

Fic: What You Leave Behind [Gen]
Title: What You Leave Behind
Author: black_pawprints
Characters: Lily Evans, Petunia Evans
Pairings: Gen (with: Petunia/Vernon)
Rating: PG
Wordcount: 1,590
Warnings: mild angst, excessive fragments and family issues
Summary: Moving on is simple, what you leave behind makes it difficult.
Why You Should Read This: For some reason, Lily and Petunia fics are not easily come by in fandom, and a lot of that may have to do with just how complicated their relationship is. Black_pawprints, however, manages to capture the complexity, subtleties, and unpredictability of sisterhood beautifully. Lily is by no means perfect here, nor is Petunia. They hate and love often in the same moment—a sentiment that is ever present in this fic.
Excerpt:
But eventually hasn’t happened yet, and it’s been nearly seven years since that day. It’s been first kisses, first dates, her graduation and my Head Girl notification. It’s been six years at Hogwarts. I’ve lost my best friend and made new friends, I’ve yelled at James Potter more times than I can count, I took the OWLs and, now, I’m about to finish school.
We’ve said maybe a total of ten words to each other in the past year, and now she’s getting engaged, and I didn’t even really know she fell in love.
