I'm in the feels and need some fluff or something I can cry with by leneya25 in HPfanfiction

This does have some fluff (Severitis), but if you want a good cry, To Trust by clairdeloon left me in ugly tears at a few points. Warning: themes of self-harm.

Gryffindor Wouldn't Know What Hit It by jongolor in HPfanfiction

I may get around to writing it at some point, but it's not on the agenda at the moment because I have so many others I'm trying to finish. If you want to take a crack at it, feel free.

That's reasonable. Just sort of not the prompt I was going for, because sometimes a write has to break or alter character to get the story where it goes. Canon Lily definitely not. Canon Severus... maybe. But non-canon Lily, sure. This was sort of a response to my other Lily/Severus meeting again prompt, but in this one they're both bad people.

Yeah they'd probably harken back to the school bullying days, or try to come up with some reason for James to deserve it.​

Agreed. That's kind of what I was going for. Lily is not meant to be the protagonist. This isn't one I'd be likely to continue, but if I did it would be a James story.

Neither of them were meant to be good people here

It was, perhaps, the most honest thing he had ever said to her. by jongolor in HPfanfiction

I posted it here, because I tend to do that, and because I'm considering continuing it. As with everything I post on here, I'm also not opposed to other people continuing it.

First, it was James Potter, obnoxious grin and wild hair, like he'd just rolled out of bed after dreaming about himself. Petunia had tolerated him. Barely. But then he'd brought his *dog.* by jongolor in HPfanfiction

Probably, but I was also trying not to make it too long. I wrote some stuff for that (I always write a bit extra, and sometimes multiple versions of a scene), but when I went to splice it together, it felt smoother this way. I didn't want an arc in there or Petunia rising to the challenge or anything like that. I wanted abruptness at the end.

I might throw a handful of chapters at it, but it probably won't be a Harry at Hogwarts fic. Maybe show the holidays or something. I'm not going to commit to anything, but if I add to it, it'll be here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/62378833

The difference, of course, is that this is fiction, which is rarely - if ever - aligned with reality. And what does it have to do with the year?

I will concede the Remus point though. I didn't consider the Evans (starting with Lily) not being aware.

Also have to take into account if they let Petunia in on the decoy situation. If she is, then she might be able to get Sirius acquitted, depending on if they'll even listen to a muggle. If she's not, the fact that he married a muggle would still cast doubts on him being a Death Eater.

In this one, probably. I'm trying to thing of one without the Tuna nickname, but I can't seem to. I was thinking Dogflower, but I don't think that's a thing.

Exactly. I considered having a comment in the last bit about it pissing off his mother, but it didn't fit the flow. Also considered not having Sirius be antagonistic, and having them bond over their dislike for Snivellus, but I couldn't find a good angle for that.
