Summary
It's 1975, and Lily Evans lives a double life.
At home, she's the Irish Catholic daughter of a union organizer in a dying industrial town. She smokes, drinks, and sneaks out her window to go to punk shows. At Hogwarts, Lily never puts a toe out of line. As a Muggle-born, she'd never give her pure-blood classmates any reason to doubt her.
James Potter has never had to be anyone but himself.
Why would he? Wealthy, good-looking, and intelligent, he knows he's lucky. But the war with Voldemort is bringing what's important into sharp relief. His aging parents have joined the Order of the Phoenix, and James longs to fight alongside them.
When Voldemort's followers murder seven Muggle-borns in broad daylight just before the start of their fifth year, tensions at Hogwarts reach an all-time high. Voldemort is recruiting from the student body, and the time has come to act.
But Hogwarts is not split between good people and Death Eaters, and old prejudices die hard. In dark times, alliances shift and secrets are revealed.
And maybe, through it all, Lily and James will fall in love with the person they least expect: each other.

The footsteps stopped. More giggling. Severus strained his ears.
“Merlin, Lily, how many butterbeers have you had?”
His blood ran cold despite the early summer breeze as James Potter’s face came into view.

Call It What You Want by ritaskeetered for Athenasparrow

Summary
The sex was supposed to have been a one-time thing. It was a mistake, shouldn’t have happened in the first place. The other one had just been there at the right place at the right time. It had everything to do with needing to find a release after a most difficult and stressful day at work. It had absolutely nothing to do with them actually liking each other. Please, they were frenemies at best, nemeses at worst.
This is a Jily Workplace Enemies to Lovers AU written for and inspired by Athena. Title and chapter titles inspired by Taylor Swift’s “reputation”.

Summary
James Potter thought the biggest challenge of his Fifth Year was going to be defending the Quidditch House Cup as the newly minted Gryffindor Quidditch Captain. However, he's three best friends certainly aren't helping to keep things simple. One friend needs James's help, which entails a very dangerous and illegal extracurricular project; one decided to go out and lose his virginity over the summer, and the third wont shut up about breasts. Add to that a greaseball determined to get him expelled, political unrest, and a swotty ginger girl who keeps popping up and making James feel things. Suddenly being a sixteen year old wizard doesn't seem as simple as it one did.
5th Year canon MWPP fic from James's POV. Part 1 of the Deerstalking series.
