MARCH

Selcouth (WIP, 45.3k as of 31 Mar 2024) by piziels. Rated M.

What if James Potter, against all expectations, found himself sorted into Slytherin?

The Queen of the Quills - Jily Edition (WIP, 2.7k as of 31 Mar 2024) by @elliemarchetti. Rated T.

James Potter, London's most evasive bachelor, an impertinent libertine, has decided to get married. He has also already chosen his wife, the debutante Lily Evans, a self-confident young woman who has not the slightest intention of being seduced by such a man.

Under The Gallows (chapter 1/chapter 2) (completed, ~2.2k) by @practicecourts. Not rated.

JilyChallenge January 2024 Theme: Love in Tough Times Prompt: oh lord, o lord what have I done? I've fallen in love with a man on the run, Oh Lord, Oh lord, I'm begging you please, Don't take this sinner away from me (The devil's backbone / civil wars) Jilymicrofics Moody March day 4: Despondent, day 5: Joy

Erasmus Lovegoods’s Guide to Brewing Love Potions (completed, 5.4k) by @thelighthousestale. Rated G.

At the start of every school year, the Ministry of Magic distributed leaflets to all students taking potions classes regarding the regulations and legality of highly controlled potions. Lily Evans thought the Ministry would probably have more success in decreasing illegal potions brewing on the castle grounds if they didn’t give such detailed instructions about the potions in its published propaganda literature. Of course, every year's most popular leaflet was the one warning about the dangers of brewing love potions. (Or how an accidental explosion in NEWT-level potions finally forced Lily and James to confront their feelings.)

courage! (completed, 2.2k) by @giggles-and-freckles. Rated G.

“That was a key bonding moment for us, Lily Potter.” Lily shrugs. “I’m not keen on repeating any time soon.” Sirius narrows his eyes. “What, are you pregnant or something?” James stiffens beside her, then laughs loudly. It’s forced, which Lily tries not to think about. But before she can reply, she catches Sirius’s gaze and immediately knows he’s seen through her. [or: Lily has some big news, but Sirius is too smart for his own good]

Drunk On You (completed, 4.4k) by @kay-elle-cee. Rated E.

While on a weekend getaway with some friends, Lily steals away somewhere private to cool down from the sweltering heat and the alcohol in her system. James Potter, a (very fit) friend-of-a-friend who's tagged along, has a similar idea. Spilled wine, bare skin, and bold flirting do not help them cool down one bit.

Remember that all eligible Jily fics (written and/or updated anytime between Nov 2023 and till the end of Oct 2024) are welcome on the list, so don't forget to send in your suggestions!

Happy reading!

The Jily Fandom Rec List 2024 is a compilation of Jily stories our readers want to keep an eye on for this year's awards.

This post will be reblogged at the end of each month with the month's new additions, so don't forget to send in your own recs via asks or DM!

JANUARY

Miss Evans And The Impossible Task Of Finding A Husband (completed, 22.2k) by @annasghosts. Rated T.

Miss Lily Evans, the youngest daughter of a widow with a modest fortune, at one and twenty years of age knows what is required of her: to find a husband willing to support her and her mother. The problem? Men of the London society aren’t swayed by her lack of a dowry and brazen attitude. Luckily for her Mr James Potter has just come home from Cambridge and she can enlist his help to find out what men really want.

The Falcon And The Squid (completed, 8.2k) by @jfleamont (pennyrigby on AO3). Rated T.

There's a Lego Millennium Falcon that needs to be built. There's also a bet, a ring and a bike. Put it all together and what do you get?

And The Roar Will Rise (completed, 21k) by @kay-elle-cee. Rated T.

It's James Potter's last summer running the circulation beat for The Daily Prophet, and he's determined to make it through the high season and leave the country—and the ghosts of his past—behind. But when the paper is sold to a new owner who begins printing vicious headlines that vilify the Wizarding community, he finds himself leading the charge of Magic and Muggle newsies (and one brilliant reporter) to take action. A Newsies AU.

The Last Enemy: Dark Marks (WIP, 376.7k as of 29 Feb 2024) by @chdarling-tle. Rated M.

The entrance to Hell is hidden at the base of a large willow tree, a human-sized hollow tangled in its roots, ready to swallow you whole... It’s 1976 and the events of the past term at Hogwarts have left their mark on all involved. But it’s a new school year now, with new teachers, new rules, and new regrets. Yet as the war clamoring outside the castle walls grows ever louder, the students inside will learn that some marks are impossible to wash away. Dark Marks is the second book of The Last Enemy series, which follows the lives of the heroes and villains of the First Wizarding War from 1975-1981.

Do You Want To Build A Snowman? (completed, 2.9k) by @practicecourts. Rated G.

A young James Potter feels a little lonely and it has snowed so really he should be outside having fun, instead of talking to a portrait.

Happy reading!

FEBRUARY

Everyone but You (completed, 15.4k) by @theesteemedladydebourgh. Rated M.

“If I have to spend one more minute with your stupid face I’m going to—” “Fall in love with me?” Part-time bartender, full-time oncoming trainwreck Lily Evans sleeps with famous actor James Potter. Love (?) and shenanigans ensue. (Starstruck AU)

Spitting Image (WIP, 19.4k as of 31 Mar 2024) by @charmsandtealeaves. Rated M.

James Potter always knew he wanted to build a family, he just hadn’t found the right person to build it with - yet. Freezing his sperm at Gringotts Sperm Bank was a no-brainer really. He’d have children when he found the right person, and now he had an insurance policy. Then Lily Evans walked into his place of work with her son - the spitting image of him.

Pinkest Bluestocking of the Ton (WIP, 61.5k as of 31 Mar 2024) by @wearingaberetinparis. Rated M.

Dearest Reader, the ton are abuzz with the latest gossip, and so it is my honour to impart to you the news that the Duke of Peverell has returned to London at last! A year after setting off on his tour of Europe, Lady Peverell's son has returned and rumour has it that his mother is preparing for the most joyous of occasions: a late summer wedding that sees her son wed the next Duchess of Peverell. It is my sincere hope that you have stored a bottle of wine for this most delightful of upcoming events for if ever there were a more determined mama, this writer is Icarus and this society paper has been scorched for flying too close to the sun. A Jily Regency Romance inspired by Shondaland's "Bridgerton".

Hell Is Empty (And All The Devils Are Here) (completed, 11.4k) by @nodirectionhome-ao3. Rated M.

When an Order mission takes an unexpected turn, James and Lily find themselves stranded together. In the aftermath of the chaos, sheltering together through the storm, a fire catches between them.

Pinky Promise (Tummy Hurts) (completed, 3.1k) by @petalsinwoodvale. Rated T.

He was just too smart for his own good. It’s what got him into trouble the most. It got Lily in trouble too. Turns out, she had a type, and arrogant jocks with good grades were it.

Quest for Camelot (WIP, 64k as of 31 Mar 2024) by @petalsinwoodvale. Rated T.

All Lily has ever wanted is to be a knight, like her father, Sir Lionel. After Camelot is attacked and the magical sword Excalibur is stolen, she finds herself teaming up with James, a young blind hermit, as they embark on a quest to find the lost sword. Together, they face the threat of the evil Ruber, navigate challenges with a two-headed dragon and an ogre, and discover that they're more alike than they initially thought. Will they manage to return the sword to Arthur in time, or will they lose not only each other but also their dreams and the precious Excalibur? Based on the 1998 movie Quest for Camelot, but more plot and less singing.
