Summary
The start of their sixth year at Hogwarts brings many changes for Lily Evans and James Potter. For Lily, she is forced to cope with changing friend dynamics, the aftermath of a traumatic relationship, and the growing tensions at home. She harbors grief and shame, and a burning desire to do something about the war brewing outside. James has had a summer of growing up. Not long after fifth year ended, his best friend showed up on his doorstep, broken and bleeding, and suddenly James was forced to come to terms with the harsh realities of the world outside his cosy life. And how much his three best friends really need him to keep them together.
As the pressure rises, the two start to see each other in a new light. They begin to find solace in one another, sharing sides of themselves they've never shared with anyone, and they fall in love. A love that creates new bonds, and nurtures courage. It's them at the frontlines of the war once they leave the safety of the school. And it's them who end it.

Summary
James was almost to the table when he heard the portrait hole open; he turned automatically, before he'd even recognized the sound.
It was Evans. She was with her friends; they had bookbags with them, probably just come in from studying out by the lake. The other two were talking animatedly but Lily seemed off somehow, as if she, too, were concealing troubled thoughts. Her gaze passed over him without acknowledgement, like he wasn't even there. Like he didn't exist.
"Prongs? What's the — ah." Sirius had seen her too. They were going up the stairs to the girls' dormitory. None of them had spared so much as a glance for the rest of the common room.
"Don't worry about her, James," said Peter instantly. "She's nobody. You could have practically any girl you wanted after today …"
James didn't respond. His eyes were fixed on the back of Evans's head, and he felt entirely hollowed out. She'd never ignored him so completely before. He was used to her rolling her eyes, to the disdainful toss of her long red hair that showed just how little she thought of him, but actually meant she knew he was watching. This was something else.
(Fuck JKR. Trans rights are human rights.)

It's hard to believe this is available for free. So well written, with some of the best dream sequences I've ever read.
It needs more love!
