"I have something to ask you," Iain says one afternoon. He reaches over Sirius to turn down the radio - which Sirius pouts at him for, as he'd been listening to that song, thank you very much. Iain just rolls his eyes fondly and plants a kiss on his forehead, which does, predictably, make him stop pouting. His heart wasn't in it anyway.

"What's up?" he replies, sounding impressively relaxed for someone who's catastrophizing as hard as he is.

"Would you laugh at me if I asked you on a date?"

... Okay, that wasn't one of the questions he'd been anticipating.

The fifth and final instalment of a body from the balcony, aka Iain-verse.

Alex Watson was kind, independent and thrustworthy Gryffindor, she was in the same year as the Marauders. But she was not like other girls, she perfectly knew how handsome was Sirius Black, but she chose to resist his charms and help other girls when their hearts were broken by infamous heartbreaker Sirius Black.

Little did she knew that Sirius suddenly was interested in her, just because he had heard some wild rumours about her from other boys, for example, how mysterious she is, how she treats them and how wild she is in bed. Alex's charisma made her special in Sirius's eyes.

Is love possible between a heartbreaker and a girl who tries to live peaceful life and not get hurt?

one day, james potter has the absolute brilliant idea of leaving a positive, affirmative, and absolutely anonymous note on the office bulletinboard for lily evans, the woman he's been in love with since, well, forever. the thing is - he didn't address it and before he can come to terms to the fact that he did that and that the idea might not have been so brilliant after all, his coworkers and friends catch on and are determined to figure out who send it and who it was for. and so james pretends that he doesn't have a clue. but then more notes start to appear, notes that he didn't write, and thus it gets more complicated than he ever thought it would get. oops?

Lily Evans' love letters are her most secret prized possessions. She writes love letters when she has a crush so intense there's nothing else she can do. The four letters in total are Frank Longbottom the head boy from her first year, Remus Lupin her third year study buddy, Marlene McKinnon long-time best friend, and the newest one. James Potter. When her letters somehow get out, after James has settled on a new girlfriend, the only person she can turn to for help is Marlene and her own letter. 

Lily/Marlene fake dating fic based off To All The Boys I've Loved Before. Pretty AU centric given a bit of bending some ages around and relationships. Gratuitous use of nicknames as is on par with the inspiration material.

Every day is like a battle, but every night with us is like a dream.

When a Charms mishap brings them eighteen years into the future, the Marauders plus Lily Evans find themselves facing truths they'd have rather stayed ignorant about.

Will they be able to get back? And how will the new knowledge influence their lives?

It was all she could do to stand tall against him, to defy him as she had already before. It was all she could do to look him in his eyes and defend Harry. It was all she could do to push away the heartrending fear and pain, the what-ifs and the thoughts of everyone but her son. It was all she could do.
