Pairing/Character: James, Harry, Sirius Black

Title: In love and in lust
Author: apostrophe_ess
Disclaimer: Everything belongs to JKR, I merely gain from playing these games in her playground.
Pairing/Character: Mainly James, but also Lily and Harry
Word Count: 748
Rating: G - yes really, despite the title!
Prompt: For potterverse100, number 9 - Love. Prompt table here. Chronological list here.
Summary: As the tear that has formed in the corner of his eye slips over his cheek James considers what made this day possible.
Author's notes: I'm really trying to make these 100 stories link into one long one, but at the same time for each of them to stand alone totally unreliant on any other. The scene that is played out in this one isn't how I intended to treat it - I thought what plays out within might fill three or four stories. Maybe I'll write smaller snippets into individual ones later. Oh, and I haven't forgotten the serious implications of the time - that will come later, too.

Prompt: For potterverse100, number 92 - Diagon Alley. Prompt table here. Chronological list here.
Summary: Harry is four weeks, three days, twelve hours and seventeen minutes old, and James and Sirius decide that Lily should go out to lunch.
Author's notes: For everyone I've owed comments to for the last few days - many apologies. The irony of the pause coming as I was congratulated on my diligence to answering comments has not passed me by!

( Splendid synchronicity )

Because the prompt table doesn't follow a logical order chronologically, I decided to make a list of all my potterverse100 stories in exactly that order. And because one day there will (hopefully) be exactly one hundred of them, I've hidden the chronological list behind ( a cut! )

Pairing/Character: Lily, with James and Harry Potter
Word Count: 460
Rating: G
Summary: At Godric's Hollow, Lily isn't sleeping. By the light of the moon, she thinks a little.
Author's Notes: nimerha gave me the wonderful artwork that is the background to this journal at Christmastime. I love the expression on Lily's face in this art, wistful, sad, thoughtful, and yet still quite determined. I don't think this very short story really does it justice. Please go and look at the original on my journal, rather than the smaller version contained within this post.
Prompt: This also works for prompt number 65, Full Moon, for potterverse100.

I think I've finally lost it! It's true, I am more than slightly crazy.

The second of two challenges I've signed up for! potterverse100 is a 100 story claims community, where the stories are drabbles or short fics. I've claimed the Potter family (having been one comment too late for James/Lily), but can include Harry from conception! Yay!!

Summary: Prompted by her keepsakes Lily and James remember back to days gone by.
Author's Notes: Thank you to guesswork_ for the following suggestion in my plea for inspiration post: I've always thought about the content of postcards or letters or presents James might have sent Lily all those years he liked her. Like for Valentine's Days and Christmases. It feels to me like it's been a one-sided courtship for a while before she went out with him. What were her thoughts getting them?

I owe two birthday presents. One to xprincessbloomx (who had a birthday last month) and the other for tomorrow to vanillacocktail - Happy Birthday. I hope you both like this.

Beta: manynames who oversaw my writing at a moment's notice, thank you! Also thank you for the menu advice and Swedish customs from millieweasley
Summary: It's James and Lily's first Christmas since being parents. The Christmas they'd expected is cruelly taken from them when James's parents succumb to a virus, Lily's parents had already died just before Harry was born.
Author's Notes: To grant Christmas wishes that I saw on two wishlists. If this also grants yours then please consider it as your gift too. So for my friend who wishes for James and Lily with a dose of baby Harry (but not too much angst - and I hope it doesn't have) and for my friend who asked for people to go out and grant other's wishes, here is a Christmas fic.

About two weeks ago millieweasley and I were talking about customs in our own countries and Jessica told me about the Swedish custom of leaving a bowl of rice porridge outside the door on Christmas eve night in thanks to your 'house elf' and in the hope that he will take good care of you over the coming year. From there the idea of a Swedish Christmas meal was born.
