FIC: Rising from Embers (L/J)
Title: Rising from Embers
Author: shiiki
Rating: PG-13/R
Characters/Pairings: Lily Evans/James Potter, Marauders, OCs
Fandom: Harry Potter
Word Count: 41,283, 15 chapters
Summary: Against a backdrop of terror and hostility, Lily Evans and James Potter come of age in a world at war.
Seventh year is bound to be fraught with difficulties, but it is also a time for both to grow and learn, to rise to the challenges thrown their way, and to find their way to each other.
The sequel to From Ashes.
Notes: Written pre-Deathly Hallows, now A/U. It’s not absolutely necessary to read Ashes in order to understand this, but I would suggest it, as some of the plot carries over from there.
Enormous thanks goes to jamc91 for her kind patience, eagle-eyed checking, and humourous style of commenting. Because of her, editing this story has become a fun and enjoyable process. I couldn’t possibly ask for more in a beta!
Also, Birgit, my SQ beta, whom I can never thank enough for her efforts. Her comments have certainly made a difference to the clarity of the writing!
This story is for Gulistanlik and jude, who couldn’t be more generous with their encouragement!
