Me over here digesting all the jily content in October
She thought things might be different after all this time. After all, she was a mature twenty-three, not some wide-eyed seventeen-year-old just starting to experience love. She was practically seasoned by now, having fallen into and out of love with reckless abandon in the years she didn’t have James Potter in her life. Why should his return cause such a stir in her heart?
***
And now, here she was. A vision in a traveling cloak as she entered Hogwarts castle, as vivid and beautiful as the day she left, he was certain. As heart-achingly beautiful as ever. How was he supposed to survive a whole year living in the castle with her again without falling back into the habit that felt a lot like being in love?

Again, thank you so much for blessing us with your writing. This is so entertaining!
OMG I was rereading TRBTY (as one does on a Tuesday evening 😅) and realized that today, August 2, is the day James proposes to Lily 🥰 it’s also the day Lily Jones left him but we’ll focus on the more positive side of things haha
Haha I honestly hadn't thought about it! Rest assured, they spent the evening cuddled up on the couch with Harry and a bowl of popcorn with m&ms watching the latest Spider-Man movie (for obvious reasons). 🥰
Hands up if you were the child that read thousands of books and as an adult you hit burn out and now only read stories about the same 2 idiots falling in love over and over as you don't have the brain power to get emotionally attached to new characters.

Hi!! Hope you’re doing well 🥰
😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?
Hi hi! Thank you :) I hope you are also doing well!
I'm going to have to go with the supply closet scene in TRN. It's odd because I'm incredibly proud of it but at the same time also embarrassed. 🙃
We're at the home stretch! Chapter 6 is up, and I'm officially racing the clock to have 7 ready in ~24 hours (August 31 where I am) 🤞🤍 Can't wait to hear what you think! 🫶

It was positively sickening, the way her body reacted to seeing his gorgeous disorderly hair across the Entrance Hall upon her arrival on the twenty-ninth of August. But if the fluttering in her chest was bad, then the warmth in her stomach at the sight of his broad, well-defined body was mortifying enough to make her The Gray Lady’s new roommate.
Okay. That was, perhaps, a bit of an exaggeration. She wasn’t that starved for his attention—or any male attention in particular. She could be a perfectly respectful colleague of his, not a lecherous ogler.
“All right, Evans?” he asked, the familiar mirth sparkling in his eyes when he finally crossed the hall to greet her.
Fucking Merlin.
