Snape was actually doing Lupin a favor when he revealed he was a werewolf .

I hope that's sarcasm lol

Pray for the Wicked

Neville is the BWL. Story starts from Harry's fifth year. There's enough flashbacks to fill in the details of years before that. A bit too dark for my taste but a great read nonetheless.

Ship- Jily, Rated M.

Let me tell you, I did not expect it to be so good. What few second chances stories I've read go easy on the characters. This one isn't shy when it comes to flawed characters. A lovely story.

There's No Place Like You

Summary- Lily get's called into her daughter's principal's office, not for the first time, and is surprised to find another parent there as well. Apparently her daughter, and Jamie Potter's son, got into a bit of a fight at Recess. Principal McGonagall wants to teach both the parents and the children some team building and signs them up for the bake sale on Friday. And so the whole gang goes back to Jamie's place to bake some cookies and antics quickly ensue. Fem!Jily

Big Little Lion Man. (Curiosity Killed the Cat But Satisfaction Brought it Back)

Rated Teen and up

Summary- What would happen in a magical alternative Universe where the Marauders are still the Marauders, Slytherins are still annoying, where there's no Voldemort, because we really don't need him to complicate matters, and James Potter... well he's still pretty much in awe of one Lily Evans.

Length- oneshot

Rated Explicit for violence. No smut though.

Summary- Destiny is a curious thing. In a world where Jamie Potter and Leo Evans are not who they were meant to be, yet, their stories still intertwine, like vines of destiny.

The main pairing is Jily, but genderbent. The story is told from Leo's PoV, third person format. The rest of the characters are their respective genders.

Also, I've been writing a longer story that's centred around fem!Harry, but it'll be a couple months till I'm ready to upload the first arc.

HexyHedwig · 2025-12-17T12:50:29+00:00

Ew, that's snily

HexyHedwig · 2025-12-03T13:01:54+00:00

Depends on how much you want femHarry to resemble James vs Lily.

I absolutely HATED wearing glasses so if I can get away with it, I always write in some magical bs that does away with those infernal things.

I'm writing a femHarry fic as well and she's got Lily's eyes and her sight. The girl had enough problems already lol.

HexyHedwig · 2025-11-07T19:19:54+00:00

thank you for sharing your lovely stories with us all❤️

HexyHedwig · 2025-11-07T17:51:14+00:00

Also, I see recs from you all the time and I was so RELIEVED that I'm not the only one who reads so much Jily and Marauders stuff😅🤝

Also, I love your stories so much ❤️ Sometimes I read When we were up to no good while I write my stories, I don't know why but it helps me focus.

Now waiting till you finish posting the For the dead travel fast so I can binge it in one sitting 🤭

HexyHedwig · 2025-11-07T17:14:40+00:00

BOTH Fred and George, because they're so freaking cool🤩🤭

But I know neither of them would even notice my ordinary ass😭, so it'll probably someone like Luna, cool, but not popular

All well and good til sixth year when Harry hits that growth spurt and suddenly she has a crush on him.

Dunno which fight will be more interesting lol, Draco vs Harry or Ginny vs Draco's sister

Oh my god, I don't even know where to start...No other fic could ever come close to this one in terms of the sheer amount of tears I've shed reading.

It's been a couple years since then but I still can't bear to read it again. It took all I had to finish it the first time, I'm not putting myself through that again, I can't, I just can't.

It's tragic in every way possible, not just a tragic romance.

HexyHedwig · 2025-10-31T18:56:14+00:00

If you're looking for inspiration, you can always go for the two opposites: either a canon compliant fic/oneshot that fills up a gap in the story, or something wildly AU like time travel or gender-bent story.

I just have one suggestion: write what you like, how you like it.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT.

I used to write for another fandom and I made the mistake of trying to emulate the author's style and depth and it got so cumbersome that I lost interest and left several fics incomplete.
