Lily and James: Their Story of Love by Secret Lily
Rated: [Reviews - 3878]
Summary:
"Love is unexplainable. There are no words for it. You can’t express why you feel so. It just happens," James said. "“Don’t you think that if I had the choice I would have chosen to love someone who didn’t hate me in return?”
“No,” Sirius said simply.
“You’re right.” James said, sighing. “I’m so screwed up, Padfoot.”
The drama-filled romantic tale of Lily and James's mysterious but unfortunate tale. It started with love and ended with death. It makes you wonder about the things they tried to live for. Pre-HBP
come on lily , james i'm sure the three of us could work this out why is lily being such a prat ? and why is james not trying to win her back?
noooooooooo
come on he's got to tell james there like brothers
A Few Detentions and A Story by LaneTechFreshie
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 1701]
Summary: James Potter: Marauder. Lily Evans: Prefect. They're both seventh years at Hogwarts. They're also about to have a pretty interesting year--complete with a few detentions, pranks, confusion, and laughter--in which they get through school, make some trouble and maybe, just maybe, sort out their feelings for each other.
Thanks to all you who have made it possible for this story to be in the Top Tens. It was a very happy moment when I first saw my story on the list, and I love being able to go back and see it there now. Still. Yay!
Throughout the latter half of 2010, and the first half of 2011, I re-edited this story. The changes were mostly to fix stray (and annoying) grammar and spelling errors, but also to rework some plot points in an effort to stay truer to canon. I also updated the style; having written this story so long ago, my writing has definitely developed (and I would say gotten better), so I edited to reflect that. (I apologize for the errors that were in the story before all this editing. I found them immensely distressing when I reread my chapters. Heartbreaking, really.)
Big “thank yous” go to the three people who helped edit/nitpick the first edition of this novel: violagirl, fairiesandcream, and Omagus.
And yes, this story is up on Fanficition.net under the penname: Io.Sono.Emilia.
Of course, as a disclaimer, I’m not JK Rowling. The Potterverse does not belong to me, but I am in it and love it.
wonderful story i really enjoyed reading it you should consider writing more

Things Aren't Always Black and White by padfootsgirl1981
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 392]
Summary:
Amazing! *She says, with an open mouth and boggling eyes.*
It sooo lived up to the expectations, the Kirsty and Regulus scene was mind-blowing. At first, I thought you was going to let her give up! So I was practically dancing when her Kirtsy-ness came through.
I absolutely love the Regulus characterization, his jealously of his brother and rivalry with him. But also him being very evil now :)
Great job, I mean I'm finding hard to say how great it was. As always, you leave me longing for the next part. Yes, I am wondering if they tell the Marauders, and Sirius' reaction !
Lauren
YOUR BACK *squeals of delight* and for the record the chapter rocks !!!!!! I love the fact that you decided to get Hayley and Remus back together because that was torture so now we just have to work on Sirius and Kirsty yay !!!!!!!! oh yea please update quicker this time because my hopes are high : D
i hate debbie swain too
Sirius really needs to get over her quick soo Kirsty doesn't move on
another great chapter i cant wait for the next :-)
Love Conquers by dumbly_dorr
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 321]
Summary: If you're looking for the usual James-loves-Lily-but-Lily-hates-James storyline, then this isn't it. The thing is, Lily doesn't hate James at all, he can just be annoying at the best of times. As she comes to realise why she doesn't hate him, it leads to the famous love we all know about. Set against the backdrop of a warring magical world where nothing is certain, can James and Lily hold onto each other and fight?
UPDATE August 08: It's FINISHED! Thank you so much to all those who have read and reviewed this story, I have loved your support. i hope there are still people out there who are willing to read it. Keep an eye out for more stories by me!
UPDATE February '08: I have changed the chapter names of some of the 'Defied' chapters, to make this fit and to make it more plausible, as I see the 'thrice defying' of Voldemort as happening when James and Lily are part of the Order of the Phoenix.
UPDATE 20th September: I have altered my facts in the chapter 'Once Defied' as I made mistakes in the ages of James and Lily. It didn't matter so much in this chapter but had annoying repercusions for future chapters. It should all now be correct.
This made me cry this is how it should be this how the lily and james story should have been you are an amazing writer

very good i like the sirius on snape ! but i thought that lily and James would fight Voldemort in all honesty.
However, the writing flowed nicely and loved the fact it was in the forest of dean brilliant ! keep updating :)
Author's Response: Don't worry, there'll be fighting Voldemort sometime, probably during their next defiance. This was their first time ever seeing him, James's first instinct was to get out alive. Thanks for reading!

Kickin' It at the Top by Soap
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 820]
Summary: A Marauder-era fic - this story takes a look at all the characters we've come to love (and hate), as well as an OC or two thrown in for good measure. Follow the Marauders through seven years at Hogwart's, with appearances from the infamous Black sisters, Lucius Malfoy, Regulus Black, and of course the one and only Severus Snape.
There are a bunch of pairings in this story (although romance is not necessarily the central theme) to include James/Lily, Lucius/Narcissa, a splash of Lucius/Bella and unrequited Snape/Lily, and finally, plenty of Sirius/OC. Enjoy!
Over 120,000 reads! Wow! Thanks everyone!
this is the most heart wrenching story i have read so far i started crying 15 minutes ago and now i cant stop i guess next time i wont get brave and read to the end
great story i have loved reading it
Amphibious Lizards by Apollonious
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 117]
Summary: They are all talented, some more than others. Some play Quidditch. Others are known for their brilliance in academics. They are the Marauders and a group that has lain in the shadows up to now, called the Lady Firebrands, known for their hot tempers and rather subdued practical jokes.
Romance will bloom.
Rivalries will blossom.
The author will try to stop using so many bad plant puns.
The story of Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs' NEWT years will be told.
These are the Amphibious Lizards.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review. I'm really glad you enjoyed the chapter.

Gratification and Justification by Cinderella Angelina
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 26]
Summary: Victoire Weasley can hardly believe it herself. How is it that she's suddenly developed feelings for her best friend, Teddy Lupin, and in his last year of Hogwarts too? Now she must spend her sixth year not only adjusting her long-held sensibilities of how their relationship should work, but his as well.
There's not always a reason for everything that happens, and sometimes the reward for action looks more like a consequence. But that's just how life goes sometimes.
if J.K.Rowling ever wrote a book about the future of harry potter this should be included it was fantastic to read.
