whatever ties james to you feels ancient, like folkloreβwoven into the fabric of who he is. like the golden threads in that scarf, it pulls him toward you: effortless, timeless.
pairing: james potter x reader
series summary: james potter spent years chasing after lily evans, convinced she was the one for him but in fifth year that all changed when he met you. for two years, it was easy, perfect, even. then the summer before seventh year you ended things with him, insisting he belonged with lily instead. he didn't understand (or agree) with your decision then and he's not sure he does now. perhaps being lovelorn and bereft without you compelled him to follow your suggestion and he began dating lily. everything should've fallen into place like you said, it should feel right but it doesn't.
as snow falls over hogwarts and the holidays draw everyone closer, james can't shake the feeling that something is pulling him back to you and he's not sure he wants it to stop.
main tags: female pronouns, alternate universe, marauders era, pov switch between characters, gryffindor reader, friendly reader, casual invisible string connection, exes reader and james, established jily, sirius and reader friendship, lily deserves better, no bashing whatsoever, emotional infidelity, insecurities, angst, fluff, mutual yearning/longing, falling into old habits, obliviousness, miscommunication, off-screen mutual breakup (jily), getting back together (reader and james), time skip, implied marriage, domesticity, happy ending
notes: happy holidays!! here is my self-indulgent 2024 12 days of ficmas series π§£ inspired by taylor's song invisible string. this series is a collection of vignettes set during the winter of their final (seventh) year. every part is centered on a winter-ish word prompt and connected to each other in the same universe. please read the tags. i tried to keep the reader a clean slate as much as i could but there are implications that they're a gryffindor, friendly, well-liked, and that they knit. if you don't like that, don't read it.

For whichever category you voted for, please comment and specify which elf you would like me to write for. Feel free to elaborate in the comments what kind of story, like the elements youβd like me to include, I should write!
Thanks a lot, everyone!
I want to write a Silmarillion fic. I love romance stories so it will be centered around a Silm elf and an OC! Comment which elf you think I should write about.
Okay, so I've also gotten results from my Insta followers, and I'm gonna do a final poll to let y'all decide!

Not Elrond Peredhel looking at the orcs and going, "Wait, you can't burn the Library of Alexandria" while the others have blades to Gil-galad's throat.
That half elf has his priorities STRAIGHT.

season two the rings of power. 2.07.
aww
Murder brothers and little stars
Elrond has mad main character energy for a dude that shows up only in the background of other peopleβs stories. I mean think about it:
Orphaned during the βcruelest of the slayings of Elf by Elfβ and raised by the guys that destroyed his people and drove his mother to her death*
Dad spends his time flying a magical star-ship around and slew Ancalagon the Black, the biggest dragon ever to live
Child of unusual blood (part Elf, part Man)
Got to choose his destiny (mortal vs. immortal)
Child of the union of two of the most noteworthy bloodlines of the Noldor and the Sindar (Finweβs line through Earendil; Thingolβs line through Elwing)
Tragically loses his twin brother to making the opposite choice vis-a-vis destiny
Power of foresight
Great-grandchild of Luthien Tinuviel and Beren
Member of the court of Gil-Galad, last high king of the Noldor in Middle-earth
Builds his own retreat for Elves which becomes one of the last Elven settlements in Middle-earth
Bearer of a ring of power
Marries Celebrian daughter of Galadriel, arguably the only one of Finweβs grandchildren to survive to the Third Age**
Loses Celebrian when she sails West to preserve her life after being captured by Orcs
Was present at the War of the Last Alliance; likely saw Gil-Galad get killed
And yet heβs never the star of the show, but the playing a supporting role. In some ways he might prefer this, but it is a bit funny I think because in any other story a dude with this backstory would definitely be the main character.
