The Thursday Paradigm by Nymphea
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 10]
Summary: "Thursday is the only day you can ask a girl out with any chance of success." That's been Sirius' philosophy for as long as he can remember. Now, in their 6th year, James is trying to use that knowledge to win the heart of a certain Lily Evans...and the Thursdays are running out.
Uncertainty Defined Those Moments by Nymphea
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 7]
Summary: I swear, there must have been twenty people at my wedding like this: giving me a playful shove, they lean in conspiratorially and whisper in my ear, “Congratulations, Lil…I knew you’d give in to him eventually!”—only when it’s an older person talking the playful shove becomes a pinch of the cheek, and I am invariably referred to as “dearie”.
One-Way Street by Nymphea
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 26]
Summary: Sequel to A Different Kind of Love: Lily's response to James' letter saying he loves her.
Part of me wants to say, please, let’s just be friends and forget what we’ve written to each other—these moments are too precious to risk spoiling them. But I know enough of the world to know that time is a one-way street. Forward is the only direction we can go.
A Different Kind of Love by Nymphea
Rated: 1st-2nd Years [Reviews - 57]
Summary: James gives Lily a letter on the last day of sixth year:
I’m going to be perfectly honest with you—I’m not that good with feelings. I usually just ask Remus; he’s pretty good with that sort of thing. But I can’t ask Remus to write this letter for me, so you’re just going to have to bear with me while I set the record straight before the school year ends and I forget how to describe my feelings about things between us.
[2000 reads! thanks guys!]
Summary: The summer night before her wedding, Lily sits under a tree with James. A relaxing, happy one-shot about love and happiness.
... heaven forbid I ever forget how I love these things, how I love the intertwining of our hands and the way time has paused while we rest here before our lives take off and we stand to meet the world together.
Purple Ink by Nymphea
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 60]
Summary: James and Lily didn't wake up one morning and find they were in love with each other...but two mornings in particular were a help. So were two letters written in purple ink.
Not Another Cinderella Story by Nymphea
Rated: 3rd-5th Years [Reviews - 49]
Summary: Lily Evans is determined not to become another Cinderella story.
And it's not just Cinderella that bothers her: so often a character begins her story insisting that she doesn't need a man’s protection, when—lo and behold—she’s saved by a handsome man and they ride off into the sunset despite her “determination” otherwise.
And if you started to think that their stories probably began much the same way as this one, well, you must not know just how determined Lily Evans could be.
Not an average James/Lily fic...(but still some fluff)...please read and review!
