    Summary

    Petunia hadn't gone to Lily's wedding. She wouldn't have wanted to go to her funeral. But since when had Petunia been able to do whatever she wanted when it came to Lily? Perfect Lily who had always done whatever she wanted in her perfect world—a world without Petunia. Perfect Lily who was dead.

    And Petunia hated her for it.

    Petunia wasn't coming to her wedding. Lily knew that, but she couldn't accept it. She had always believed that her sister would be there for one of the most important days of her life. But Petunia hadn't been in her life for a long time. Perhaps it was the difference between the family you were born into and the one you chose for yourself.

    And the family Lily had chosen was there, and maybe that was the most important thing.

    OR

    The sun shines at Lily's funeral, the rain pours at her wedding.

    Summary

    James and Lily Potter thought they'd mastered parenting—until Zephyra.

    Their rainbow baby, born after two heartbreaking losses, experiences the world differently. Zee doesn't just dislike scratchy socks—they feel like fire on her skin. She doesn't prefer routines—she needs them like oxygen. And when the world becomes too much, only Harry, her golden-boy brother, knows how to calm her storms.

    But as Zee's meltdowns grow more intense and Harry begins building a life beyond their family, the Potters face their hardest lesson: love isn't always enough to bridge the gap between two worlds.

    Now James must confront his own insecuritues and struggles, Lily fights to hold their family together, and Harry discovers that being Zee's safe person might mean never being able to leave.

    A story about autism, family, and all the things we fail to say—until it's almost too late.

    Summary

    Lily Evans never believed James Potter truly liked her. After all, how could he? She was too serious, too stubborn, and, in her mind, far too “not like the others.”
    But when she accidentally overhears the Marauders talking, she learns the truth — and everything she thought she knew about James turns upside down.

    (A story about how Lily says “yes,” James faints, and Hogwarts never stops laughing about it.)

    Summary

    The first two nights, Harry sleeps like the dead— or, well, maybe that's not the best comparison, given the number of inferi attacks reported lately.

    He sleeps like a log. Like a dead log. An un-re-animated dead log. From an everyday, inanimate, non-whomping tree.

    After that, Harry wakes up screaming more nights than not, and he even cries on the bad ones, which makes James cry too. In this regard, James reckons that his first week of parenting a full-grown teenage adult bears an awful lot of resemblance to parenting a newborn baby. He feels both blessed and terrifyingly out of his depth.
