Poor cat. >< But other than the cruelty to poor Hooligan (love the name, btw), it's a fantastic fic! I could really appreciate how well you got their voices down in such a short span of time.

Ah, thank you! I'm glad you liked it (especially since I'm still fondly remembering your 'feelings mutual' drabble). It's part of my head!cannon that not only did James get the cold shoulder from Lily for a while, but also from her cat when he tried to get its attention in the common room. Poor cat, indeed. : )

This was really cute. James and Sirius were not nice at all to the poor kitty. But, I liked this! It made me smile :D

Team Doe [Fic, PG13] Crazy, by firstbreaths firstbreaths April 12 2011, 07:20:16 UTC
Title: Crazy
Author/Artist: firstbreaths
Team: Doe
Rating & Warnings: PG13 | N/A
Summary: Petunia receives her invite to Lily and James' wedding
Notes: Totally just as Petunia-centric as it as about Lily and James, but I think there's enough shippiness that it suffices.

The envelope lands on the doorstep on a Tuesday morning, wedged absentmindedly between a letter from Vernon’s sister and the car registration bill. Petunia makes herself a cup of tea and settles at the table before peeling the corners back with shaking fingers, because a letter from her sister can only be bad news. With Lily, letters have always been bad news.

It takes a moment to process that Lily is getting married. Married, with all the implications of conservative behaviour that are -- well, the ancient tradition of marriage is something Petunia never thought she’d associate with people like themShe’s thankful, at least, that Lily remembered to send it by normal post. In recent years, Lily’s become like a caricature of her former self, prattling animatedly about hair ( ... )

I like this! I was actually going to do Petunia receiving the invite from Lily as well, but you did such a brill job with this that I'm not sure I want to anymore. Because yours was just great! Nice and bitter with only the smallest bit of sweet.

I really liked the With Lily, letters have always been bad news.

Write it anyway! I'm fairly sure your interpretation will be different enough from mine to make it worthwhile... (And I'm not one to discourage Petunia fic, honestly)

Thank you ♥

Stag, [FIC, G] Barside Reflections by perilousgard perilousgard April 13 2011, 02:05:15 UTC
Title: Barside Reflections
Author/Artist: perilousgard
Team: Stag
Rating & Warnings: None.
Summary: Someone doesn't get an invitation to the wedding.
Author's Note: Please excuse craptastic title.

He doesn’t get an invitation, but hears about it anyway, while down at the pub. One of Lily’s friends is chatting with the bartender as he orders another butterbeer.

“I just got it in the mail today! Lily and James, can you believe it?”

Lily. Getting married.

Getting married to him.

Severus can’t even bring himself to think the name, and instead his head becomes filled with the echoes of Lily’s voice, which he hasn’t heard now for almost two years.

“I know James Potter’s an arrogant toerag.”

“I’d never go out with him anyway, Severus. It doesn’t matter how many times he asks me.”

“He’s infuriating, I can’t stand him! What a stupid berk!”They’d all made Severus smile, made his heart beat just a little faster when he heard them, made him think that maybe, if given enough time, he would be able to convince Lily that he was the only one ( ... )

Oh, I love what you've done here--from your POV choice to the way you've written it. They’d all made Severus smile, made his heart beat just a little faster... It's convincingly Severus.

And the last big paragraph really brings the rift home.

This is a really nice drabble. I totally enjoyed it!

STAG – [ART; G] Marry Me, by Chelsea (Ichthyes) ichthyes April 13 2011, 04:30:01 UTC
Title: Marry Me
Author/Artist: ichthyes
Team: Stag
Rating & Warnings: G, no warnings
Summary: James carefully selects the perfect moment to propose to Lily. Really- very carefully. Lots of forethought. You know James.

*I know this is a sketch anyway, but I apologize for the scribbly hands and the laziness with the Death Eater. :|
*Mods: I hope the way I posted the image is alright!
*This picture is not direct fanart of the fic, but it is heavily inspired by gmariam's fic of the same name: Marry Me [4th fic down]. When I read her drabble of James proposing in the middle of battle, I thought it suited perfectly and have wanted to draw the basic situation ever since. The wedding invite prompt was my motivation to finally get the general idea down on paper. ;)

Thank you! :D I have to admit that the Death Eater was more fun to draw than he should have been, considering he took all of about thirty seconds. I enjoyed drawing his boots.

I secretly imagine that Snape wore similarly ugly 'wicked witch of the west' boots under his DE robes ahaha.

STAG - [Fic; PG] A Quick Rummage by BeeDaily beedaily April 15 2011, 23:23:20 UTC
Title: A Quick Rummage
Author/Artist: beedaily
Team: Stag
Rating & Warnings: PG, Language.
Summary: "Lily knew she should have burnt the thing to ashes the moment Marlene passed it to her during History."

Truthfully, she'd forgotten about it entirely until, rummaging through her rucksack in search of the quill she'd filched from him yesterday, James jokingly remarks that he hopes she's not hiding anything embarrassing in there.

She lunges.

"I'll find it!" Her chair nearly topples over at the inelegant dive, but Lily somehow manages not only to successfully seize her rucksack strap, but also to remain off her arse doing so, an improbable victory. She gives the strap a forceful yank and the bag jerks out of James's grasp. She hopes her thin-lipped smile doesn't look as manic as it feels. "It's probably at the bottom. Such a mess."

James's hands are frozen mid-rummage. "Evans?"

Lily buries her very red face in the bag. "Hm?"

"What exactly do you have in there ( ... )

James' last line is priceless, Bee! I loved how frantic the whole thing was from Lily's perspective and how calm James comes off. :) Wonderful, as always!

Love that James had seen it. Love your Lily, as always. Brill drabble, as is expected of you.

But my favourite bit was these two words: "rucksack ransacker". That just gave me inordinate amounts of pleasure.
