(FIC;PG) Yet Another Argument by Gmariam gmariam March 15 2011, 02:12:46 UTC

Title: Yet Another Argument
Author/Artist: Gmariam
Character/Pairing:Lily/James
Rating & Warnings:None
Prompt:
63. "Still I wonder why it is
I don't argue like this
With anyone but you"
-Corinne Bailey Rae, Like a Star
Summary: Lily and James discuss some things on the Astronomy Tower.
Author's Note: I love to write dialogue, and that's how this poured out tonight. I had to cut loads to hit the 500 mark. I'm rubbish at titles but hopefully it fits the prompt. Enjoy ( ... )

This was the right touch of banter and sincere concern for me. It's nice to see James depicted as being vulnerable; that's a trait a lot rarer in fic than I wish it was. Very enjoyable! :)

Re: (FIC;PG) Yet Another Argument by Gmariam gmariam March 17 2011, 00:22:16 UTC

Thanks so much! Is that trait really that rare? Because I can't seem to write James any other way sometimes, lol. I like it too - I think I have some sort of vulnerable hero complex. Thanks again! :)

That was really cute :) They seemed very real as a couple, and I liked how they kept up with one another in the banter.
Adorable :D

Thanks so much!! :)

Like Hillary, I liked the vulnerable!James. He just seems so worn down. :( but, really :)

Re: (FIC;PG) Yet Another Argument by Gmariam gmariam March 17 2011, 00:23:21 UTC

Thanks! You know, I'm thinking of expanding this to a full little story. But then, I pick on James mercilessly in my fics so maybe I shouldn't, lol. Thanks again! :)

Vulnerable James is win, as everyone else has been saying. Also, I love how you can read their actions in the dialogue. :)

Re: (FIC;PG) Yet Another Argument by Gmariam gmariam March 17 2011, 00:24:13 UTC

Thanks so much! I really enjoy writing the occasional dialogue only piece - I love their banter, but I'm glad more come out through just their words. Thanks again! :)

Aw, I agree with everyone, vulnerable James is awfully endearing.

Re: (FIC;PG) Yet Another Argument by Gmariam julvett March 17 2011, 18:17:44 UTC

This was really cute! I could sort of tell that you cut stuff though, not that that's a bad thing... I think it seemed remarkably tender for how 'directly to the point' it is. Anyway, great job, I love Astronomy Tower scenes <3

Re: (FIC;PG) Yet Another Argument by Gmariam factorydreams March 20 2011, 02:07:36 UTC

Aw, I really liked that. A lot of Lily/James fics focus predominantly on the James side of the relationship (James chasing Lily! James bewitching Lily's pants to ask her out! James pining over Lily! Sirius wishing James didn't just pine over Lily!) and it was nice to see Lily's concern for James as well.
