jiilys fic masterlist

hi everyone! just to clarify, this isnt a complete list of everything ive ever done on here. ive been writing on here since i was 13  so some things are Very Very Terrible Bad, and i couldnt take actually linking them for fear people would actually read them. you can find them all if you scroll back far enough in my writing tag. however, i have included a decent amount of bad fic, because some people still like them but also bc sometimes you write bad stuff and you dont die and (hopefully) just get a bit better. For the record, my favourites are in italics. thank you all for everything.

au troupes
canon 
assorted no title fic (all canon)
series i do 
headcannons ive done 
harry/ginny forever 
quite old + not great no title fic 
old fic im ashamed of lol

hi! this is so strange to like Announce Formally, but I’m going leave this blog. sorry for making it sound all serious i just didn’t want to just ghost out on you all!

It has meant a lot to be to be here for so long, I learnt how to write here with all of you. I hope you all know how much I appreciate the time, grace, and support you’ve all given me over almost ten years (!) (what the fresh fuck!!! its actually been ages) 

also not abandoning fic! Just this blog, I’ll still be on ao3 over at flagpoles, so if you want to keep reading my stuff that is the place to find me, so really this isn’t too dramatic. I’ll be hanging around this blog for about a week just to finish off replying to some messages, so if you have anything you want to talk about I’m here for a few more days! if you ever said anything about my work, I am terrible with messages both here and in real life, but know I read it all. to think that stuff i’ve written means a lot to people is very surreal, because fic means a lot to me. Thank you a million and forever

i’ve got one more thing to post, a follow-up to good crimes which felt like a good thing to go out on here. sorry its taken fuckin forever. also, fuck transphobia and don’t spend money on hp shit it feeds her bullshit. 

thanks for letting me write the stuff I loved. i got so lucky being here with all of you.

hi idk if you’ll see this or if you’re now gone for good but good crimes part two was phenomenal just like everything you’ve written and not to repeat all that everyone has told u but I’ve also obsessively read everything you’ve written for years and years and there are things that u have written that are burnt into my brain forever and ever probably. u are exceptional and lovely!

thank you so much, this is so nice i dont know what to do. love u!!

aka good crimes part two: plague edition

“Coffee?” Sirius to Lily, who looked barely human on the living room floor.

“Absolutely.”

“Decaf?”

“Shit-head.”

“How was the break through?” Sirius, putting the jug on, leaning against the kitchen cabinets.

“It wasn’t one. I just had to write a thousand words to figure that out.”

“Grim.” Sirius said, half listening.

“Undeniably. Good sleep?”

“Spent most of the night trying to find a weed dealer who delivers.”

“On Incognito I hope?”

“Obviously. MI-6 isn’t catching me.”

“Find anyone?”

“A few. Also an acid guy.”

“No acid.”

“Well, we’ll obviously do coffee first–“

“We are not dropping acid locked inside during a pandemic. We’ll kill each other.”

“I’m telling you,” Sirius, pulling out two cups, half clean, “maybe acid will give you the thesis break through–“

“Christ–“

“For your studies, Evans–“

“Stop trying to pitch me on acid before coffee.”

“After coffee?”

Lily groaned. Sirius stirred the coffees with a fork, looking at her expectantly.

She considered. “How good is the pitch?”

“There’s a Powerpoint.”

She sat up, “Really?”

“Okay, no, but listen,” Sirius, walking over with the overfull coffees, liquid slopping out, “Just drink this first.”

They both set lockdown goals. Lily wanted to write ten thousand words before it was over. Sirius wanted to learn to light a cigarette off their electric stove. When asked to pick another goal, Sirius said his second goal was to complete his first goal.

I just wanted to say that I’ve checked your tumblr at least once every fortnight for years. I don’t go on tumblr very often anymore, and basically don’t interact with hp stuff at all, but I’ve kept coming back to your work. You know the phrase “shrimp colours”? Your writing makes me feel the emotions version of that, shrimp feelings, if you will. It just touches me in a specific way that means I usually end up crying even if it’s happy because it feels real to me. I’m sitting here waiting for good crimes II with a slight ache in my chest because I know it’ll be the last thing posted here and I can’t wait to read it. I’m sad to see you go but so thankful for all you’ve given over the years. To echo the previous ask, there are so many specific scenes from things you’ve written that are just lodged in my brain and I think about them constantly. Lilly sitting with her boots in the sink is one of them for some reason. I don’t even know what I’m trying to say other than that you’re enormously talented and that your work has meant so much to me. Happy retirement!!

god, this message, i could fucking cry. i could stand on my porch and wail forever. i cannot tell you how grateful i am and how nice this was to read. writing is so lonely except it isnt because of stuff like this, and also because james and lily and sirius are just behind the door, always waiting around, joking about something stupid. all i did was write it down. i'm so glad it was real for you, it felt like that for me. we're in this together. i hope good crimes 2 is everything you want, i hope you think it's good. this is going to sound crazed but i remember writing lily with her boots in the sink, years and years ago. i am so glad that stuck with someone else like it stuck with me. both of us tied together by one image from years ago. thank you forever

Sending you alllll the love Caro 💌💌💌💌

I've always wondered but never asked what flagpole means.

Also Neck of the woods did THINGS to me and I'm never not going to be thinking about it. No words can describe the love I have for it (& u!!)

Have a nice life xxxxx

love to you always!! not to expose my life or anything but flagpole was an old nickname i had, years ago, that i thought sounded decent enough to use because i used to change the name of this blog a lot and wanted something consistent (officialhoneydukes shoutout!! who remembers her!!!)

thank you of loving neck of the woods, i wrote all that stuff late at night and deranged, kind of like now!!

have a good one xxx

Spinoff question of 5 - "What do you wish someone would ask you about [insert fic]?" - what fic do you wish someone would ask you about?

going to shamelessly use this to tell everyone the playlist/songs i wrote good crimes part 2 on, even though no one will even be able to read it until i finish manually fixing all the italics on ao3:

  • strong enough by boygenius - im not strong enough to be your man i lied i am is so siruslily coded its insane. it gos both ways!!
  • hard times by ethel cain - sirius black himself wrote this!! i cannot express how important this song was!!
  • state lines by novo amor - i've been awake in every state line trying to make it last us a lifetime find me a way i'll be yours in a landslide. (james screaming from across the ocean)
  • a million times by emmeline gracie
  • repeat until death by novo amor again - don't go you're part of me now (lilys internal monologe during the visa battle)
  • august by flipturn - vibes baby!!
  • dionne by the japanese house ft justin vernon - I KNOW ITS NOT VERY SEXY WHEN SOMEONE LOVES YOU THIS MUCH AND KNOWS YOU THIS WELL
  • between me and you by brandon flowers: lily and james forever and lily wrote this anyway
  • hey there delilah by plain white t's: becomes obvious ones you read honestly. its lily and james song to be quite embarassingly honest!!
  • sun bleached flies by ethel cain again because i love pain.
  • also their entire dynamic is epitomised by this gifset of a show i have never seen
  • anyway it'll be up very soon. sorry i didnt make a playlist but imagine this on 8tracks with a sick cover

Hi!! Happy happy retirement you will be missed ❤️ I just wanted to say that I’ve loved your writing for a really long time and went through a phase of regularly checking your blog for any little fics back when I was really quite distant from everything fic/tumblr – yours was one I kept coming back to. Thanks for giving us so many beautiful stories, your characters will always be much much loved by me (and clearly by many)!!

what an honour, my god i am so lucky. thank you for your time!! also this message. i love it when i hear people have escape this wretched website but still have to circle back to some stuff. same!!
