missgoalie75, this sort of deviated from the original prompt just a little, but I know how much you like Lily + Marauder friendships, so. Hope you enjoy. <3 Posted in parts due to character limits

“I’m not going to help you sneak past the patrols just because you helped me,” Lily said haughtily, fingers clutching tighter at her bag straps to stop them from shaking. Revealing her feelings for James at what was supposed to be one of the most romantic times of the year was one thing, but it didn’t mean anyone actually needed to know that she was in love with the boy she’d once called Pillock Potter. “And before you say ‘I don’t need your help’, I hear you and Peter got caught by the Ravenclaw prefects for being out of bed after curfew, just last week.”

“Might have wanted to get caught, ever think about that?” Sirius asked, jutting his hip out defiantly and smirking at her. “I’ve got a reputation to uphold, and I can’t do that if all our best exploits are a secret

Sirius seemed to ignore it this time, although she didn’t quite trust his slight smile. His gaze flickered around the shop as he said, “Seems a bitter shame, really, to buy presents that are going to be all but gone by New Year. I assume you’re buying for Remus?”

Lily nodded a little too wildly, thankful for the easy cover story. She did actually need to pick something for Remus, anyway. “I ought to introduce him to my sister. She might actually believe in magic if she saw how much chocolate he could eat without getting a single pimple, the git.”

Sirius just cocked an eyebrow in response. “Do not tell him I told you this, but he’s been conducting secret skincare deals with Gilderoy Lockhart. Remus gets to look like Witch Weekly heartthrob material, and that barmy iidiot gets to look like he can actually tell a Flobberworm from a piece of macaroni

“So, uh, Remus?” Lily asks, turning back to the tower behind her and running a thumb over one of the boxes as Sirius comes to stand at her shoulder. “I’m rubbish at gift buying; what do you suggest?”

She could always order something for James by mail, if it came to it - and then she’d have time to think of a not too saccharine but appropriate seasonal way of writing I love you, please snog my brains out.“Like I said, I’m not much for presents myself, Lily,” and she smiled a little despite herself at the use of her first name. She’d always known what a high regard James Potter held his friends’ opinions in, and maybe, just maybe

Title: To Catch a Thief

Prompt: Lily Evans is a notorious art thief that James has been chasing for years by museme87

A/N: This prompt sounded like so much fun, I had to take shot at it. museme87, I’m not sure this is exactly what you were after, but I hope you enjoy it anyway

To Catch a Thief 2/3

When James came to, he found himself seated upright in a hard chair, stripped down to his pants and socks, and completely unable to move. He was tied to the chair with his hands cuffed together behind the chair back, and his ankles tied to the legs. A thick rope wrapped around his middle, and by the quality of it, The Botanist had used incarcerous himself.

In any case, James was unable to escape. A little bit of surreptitious wiggling proved that the ropes wrapped around him were firmly secured, and his wand-the one he used for everyday purposes as well as the spare he usually carried in an ankle holster inside his boot when he was working-was missing. James was just beginning to wonder if there was some way he might wiggle the chair sideways enough to set off an alarm and get his partner’s attention when he was interrupted.

“You’re finally awake.”

The velvet soft voice, James was shocked to hear, was female.

The Botanist was a girl? Worse, the bird sounded really…suffice it to say, he suspected he’

To Catch a Thief 3/3

She rolled her eyes and got back to work. James watched with growing amusement as she became increasingly more frustrated as time went on. Twenty or thirty long minutes of constant casting later (and James was actually pretty impressed with the variety of spells she knew), uttered in an increasingly loud and frustrated whisper, The Botanist finally threw her hands in the air, whirled around to face him, and hissed, “Potter! What did you do?” She was having trouble keeping her voice down now

[museme87]

Oh this was fantastic! More than I could have ever asked for, really! Thank you so much! I like how you've managed to keep canon elements like their witty little banter and James' abilities in Transfiguration yet still make this something of your own. I also enjoyed that this was still very much a magical AU.

Prompt: James has an idea on how to make Harry’s first Christmas special by dressing up as Santa by fwittney
Wordcount: 3,764

A/N: So this is kinda long. I tried to keep it short because it's a comment fic, but it ran away with me. Oh well. fwittney, this prompt was exactly the type of thing I like best to write. I hope there's enough fluff, humor, and James & Sirius banter for you

The Most Attractive Santa 2/6He got to play soooooo many other pranks too. He snuck teensy stags in amongst all the garlands and ornaments and candles, and Lily didn’t even mind that he sometimes charmed them to tease the reindeer or charge up and down the banister. He occasionally hung the fairy lights upside down and charmed all the bells on the mantle to play “Silver bells” whenever Lily came into the room. He sometimes charmed the ribbon to slither away when Lily reached for it, or to cry piteously when she tied it in complicated bows (her response was to tell it to buck up; ribbons were meant to be tied on presents, and so it must resign itself to its fate like the Gryffindor-bought ribbon it was

On another occasion, Lily had finally seemed to understand how important this whole Christmas thing was to James, so she’d explained in detail all the ways she thought he was a wonderful father, which was totally ineffective. James knew he was an awesome father. This was him they were talking about, and he was amazing at everything. James had explained that to Lily, but she’d just rolled her eyes and handed him his son. He suspected she’d done it to shut him up, but he hadn’t really minded. She’d really only proved his point. If there was one thing in his life that that proved how absolutely incredible James and Lily were, it was Harry. (Best baby ever. Cutest, smiley-est, smartest…Harry won every category. James even swore he’d seen him do accidental magic already, which Lily completely dismissed as a story, but James knew he was right. His son was going to be one powerful wizard. How could he help it with parents like his

The Most Attractive Santa 4/6

“You’re an arrogant little toerag, you know that?”

“I worked hard for these muscles, Padfoot. I see no reason to deprive the rest of the world of my awe inspiring figure.”

“Right. Well, I suppose you have a point. I mean, what would the world be like if I went fat Muggle for a day?”

“Exactly!”

“So you’ll be a skinny Santa, then. Harry’s not even five months old, he won’t know the difference anyway. We’ll charm a beard on you, give you a sack of presents, take a couple of pictures of your unbelievably beautiful family, which I promise not to sneak into the background of. At least half the time, anyway. And Lily will be putty in your hands.”

“Lily is already-”

“Yes, okay, more than usual. Stop trying to make us poor pathetic bachelors jealous.”

“I can’t help it, Pads. I lead a charmed life.”

“Yes, you and your gorgeous wife and your gorgeous son and your gorgeous best friend. How does the rest of the world not hate you
