April 16th 17th and 18th for @jilymicrofics with the prompts is, what and am
“This is for your own safety, Mr Potter.” She manages to keep her tone professional despite her annoyance. He isn’t the first privileged bloke who thinks he can do what he wants, no consequences possibly applying to him.
“I don’t need a bodyguard.” He exclaims, getting up. “It’s nothing personal.” He adds as if it’s an afterthought, barely glancing at her.
April 15th for @jilymicrofics with the prompt commitment
“You have to know,” He says, voice breaking. “I didn’t know you could feel like this about a person.”
It’s like a physical pain, her heart breaking, but she doesn’t react, doesn’t move and the feeling of their fingers brushing together is both agony and relief. He is so close. She could reach for him and she knows he would hold her, kiss her, touch her like she wants, like she dreamt on countless nights, like they both long for, but he’s married.
April 14th for @jilymicrofics with the prompt full
“I’m full.” She says, but her voice sounds funny, so he turns to look at her.
“Really?”
“Yes.” She answers, eyes wide and innocent, but then leans towards him, close enough that no one else can overhear. “And so are you.”
April 12th and 13th for @jilymicrofics with the prompts do and I
“I do.” She says, no hesitation, and he grins. He wouldn’t expect anything less from Evans.
She gets up on the platform, their classmates hollering, and ties her hair in a braid, before pointing her wand forward, right at him, challenge clear in her eyes.
“Excellent! Excellent!” Slughorn claps his hands, gleeful as he looks from James to Lily. “Well, Minerva, I think this is an excellent start for –”
April 11th for @jilymicrofics with the prompt so
“Have I told you how lovely you look today, Miss Lily?”
She surreptitiously looks behind her, but they’re alone out in the gardens in the chill of the early morning and if they stop there, under the big oak, no one would be able to spot them from the house.
“This is highly inappropriate, Mister Potter.”
April 9th and 10th for @jilymicrofics with the prompts the and rules
“What happened to you?” He whispers, laugher clear in his voice, as he lets her lead him inside the Library. “You’re the one who always reminds me to stick to the rules, to be more responsible now that I’m Head Boy –”
“Shut up.” She mutters, silencing him with a kiss.
The library is dark at this time of night and she feels for the desk behind her, jumping on it before dragging James back towards her, fusing their mouths together.
"Vivacious, you know. Charming girl. I used to tell her she ought to have been in my house. Very cheeky answers I used to get back, too."
April 7th and 8th for @jilymicrofics with the prompts you and know
“Oi, Evans!”
She tries to tamp down the irritation, but her tone is still biting as she turns to face him. “Yes, Potter?”
April 5th and 6th for @jilymicrofics with the prompts: to and love
Hot tears run down her cheeks, blurring the words on the parchment, but she can’t stop herself. She sniffles, tracing the last sentence, that with love, James both heart breaking and achingly beautiful.
She only now realises it’s all she has ever wanted to hear, but was too afraid to reach for. She thinks of all the small moments, of the missed chances, of the times when he lingered a little too long, when she was sure he wanted to say something, but she changed the subject, cowardly as she’s been only with him, scared of losing someone that along the way started to feel like a part of her. The regret steals her breath now, now that it’s too late, now that he left, now that she is alone with just his words.
April 4th for @jilymicrofics with the prompt: strangers
She slides from under the sheets trying not to jostle the man sleeping beside her, fighting a shiver as the cool air hits her back. She carefully lifts his arm banded across her middle and places it on the bed, waiting for a breath, still, but he doesn’t stir.
She hesitates, watching his peaceful face and the absolute mess that are his hair. He looks even fitter in the light of day, despite the lack of the cocky smile that drove her to have her very first one night stand.
April 3rd for @jilymicrofics with the prompt: no
“No!” He’s smiling, which confuses James, because if he’s happy why would he – “NO!” He bangs his tiny fist on the table and watches with interest the cup shake. James is quick to grab it and this time there’s no mistaking his displeasure as Harry repeats “NO!” again.
“I think your son is trying to tell you something.”
“When he acts like this he is your son.” He answers, sighing when Lily reaches out to gently scratch his head. “Isn’t it right, Harry?” He asks, voice gentle, as he shakes the cup in front of the baby.
April 2nd for @jilymicrofics with the prompt: are
She almost says it. The question is on the tip of her tongue, making her feel silly and unsecure in a way that’s not her.
She was fine before, blissfully unaware of her feelings, at ease with the new, still at times tentative friendship they built. But how is it her fault if being friends with James Potter meant finding out how sweet he could be? He could still be spoiled and arrogant, but then he would notice the tips of her nose turning red from the cold and he’d wrap his soft scarf around her neck, or push the sausages towards her at breakfast, without her asking, without even glancing up, because he knows she likes them.
April 1st - for @jilymicrofics with the prompt: we.
“We could toss a coin.” He looks at her, brows slightly furrowed. “To decide.” She clarifies, but he still seems confused, so she huffs and takes a penny out of her pocket, showing it to him. “We pick heads or tails and whichever is up after the toss wins.”
“Alright.” He agrees easily, so she tosses the coin, yelling heads! before she catches the shiny penny back in her hand. “Did I win?”
“No.” She lies and runs towards the swings, jumping on the only one still usable in the dingy playground.
“Evans!” He complains, righting his glasses as he reaches her side.
sobbing and crying at the woman who stole a meth addicted kitten from her dealer and then she and the kitten got clean together
thats love baby!!
TUMBLR STORY TIME.
I volunteer for my local shelter and when the weather's good, we do a free vaccine clinic every Friday. Free distemper, free rabies, cats and dogs. We hand out free food from the pet pantry, we give people leashes and collars, we do whatever we can to keep people's animals at home and healthy. Every animal that can stay home and be fed and be vaccinated is an animal that we can keep out of the shelter.
We get all kinds of folks, sometimes we even get backyard breeders but we don't do any judgment, because we want people to come and get their dogs vaccinated, because one parvo case costs $7000+ and the whole year of Parvo vaccines for hundreds of dogs costs less. It's just harm reduction, everything we do is harm reduction.
So anyway, this one day this woman comes up to the vax clinic and she is high as fuckin' hell, just obliterated fucked up, smoking a joint in line, and she has this TINY pibble puppy with her, maaaaybe four weeks old. This thing is so fuckin tiny and wormy and lethargic, and she's like, "Hey I heard I can get her shots." and we're like, oh fuck this puppy is gonna die. Like straight up, we were all like, fuck that dog is gonna die. So we gave her wormer, we gave the first distemper shot, and I put together a whole care package: wormer to take home, puppy milk replacer, puppy wet food, a leash, a harness, some blankets, toys, we gave her instructions on how to get the puppy eating food, and we told her to come back in 3 weeks for the follow up vaccine. And we were all like, well fuck, that puppy's gonna die, goddamnit, that's so fucked up. But you know, we did our best, and we hoped we'd see her again.
And in three weeks, you guys, she showed up. And she was still high, but like, half-high this time. Smoking a cigartte in line but like, could focus, could ask and answer questions. And she'd taught that tiny puppy how to SIT and had her walking on a leash. We found out that it took her three buses to get to the clinic, and she told us all about how she got the puppy eating right, got her stool solid, she was taking her on walks... The puppy looked so good, you guys. I almost cried, it was so big. Really happy puppy. At the end of the visit, we were like, ok, see you in three more weeks for the next distemper.
So three weeks later, she shows up, and she's sober, and she told us, "You know, I was really fucked up the day I bought that puppy, I wasn't sure I was going to live, and I bought that puppy and she was too young, and I didn't know what I was doing but y'all were so nice to me, and you helped me so much, and I knew that I had to give this puppy the best life I could, so I moved back in with my grandma, and I'm getting clean, and I'm on methadone, and I'm going to rehab next week, and when I get back, I'll come back and visit you guys again."
So I just wanna say. Sometimes it's hard to find a reason to get clean for yourself. Sometimes you gotta do it for a little critter that depends on you.
Idk who needs to hear this but Regulus was NOT that important to the plot.
Harry and Dumbledore literally made it to the cave and they would have had the locket way, WAY earlier had Regulus not had a sudden change in conscience.
Like dude actually fucked up by ‘helping’ and then y’know, he died so he was kinda useless from day 1 to day death?
And also, anyone who ships him with James and wants him to be Harry’s 2nd parent? FUCK OFF.
Lily is literally one of the most important people in the books, AND SHE’S ONLY MENTIONED A HANDFUL OF TIMES, THE GIRLBOSS!
So yeah, I probably wouldn’t have a problem with Regulus except that the marauders fandom has put him up on this pedestal that he does not in anyway deserve ❤️
If anything Regulus made it worse. They almost threw the locket away because the idiot only told KREACHER to destroy it without telling him what it was and without thinking hey maybe that’s beyond a House Elf’s or a regular wizard’s knowledge/capability??
His idiocy was this close to make Voldemort immortal forever and he had the gall to write a note where he bragged? Give me the audacity of a mediocre white man 💀
