Themed list: James and/or Lily live

Posted on February 21, 2008
Filed Under HP themed lists |

For jaymalea whose request really tickled me :)

RULES

What I take:

I’m taking two types of AU but placing them into separate sections, so please tell me which kind of fic you suggest:
1. AUs where James and/or Lily survive(s) the assault on Godric’s Hollow (NOT where it never happened, but where it did and they survive).
2. Other AUs where James and/or Lily are alive (with exceptions, see below).
Pottercest fics (incest fics with the pairing James Senior/Harry or Lily (Evans)/Harry — if the latter exists) are in the separate section (to spare those who don’t want to read them) if they fit. I’ll explain what kind the fics are in Italics in fic info: if the Potters survived the attack or if there wasn’t any. If you want more Pottercest, go look in lj comm jphp_slash or James/Harry section at PSA. If you have issues with incest fics, they squick you, or you just don’t like them, simply skip section #3. Try flaming, and you’ll get a mighty kick in the arse.

King Draco’s code, or What I don’t take:

Pay attention! I’m taking only:

a) AUs where a certain change in the time-line led to James and/or Lily surviving/living, also known as “What If AUs”. I.e. Sirius was the secret keeper, Voldemort went after Longbottoms; Lily and/or James survived the attack, and other variations thereof.
b) fics where there’s a sort of parallel reality where Lily and/or James live. Dreams where it happens don’t qualify, with the exception of those where the character (usually Harry) believes them to be another reality.

- No Muggle AUs, no fairy-tale AUs (however much I like Nimori’s Potterella, it won’t qualify), no fics where James and/or Lily are fairy royalty, elf kings, etc. No AU of other kinds. No fics set in other ‘verses than HP.
- No James/Harry PWPs that contain only sex or mostly sex without a decent chunk of the Alternate Universe settings (how James survived, where they live, what they do, and such). The point of this list is not to show in how many ways or how exactly James could fuck Harry if he survived and if they were into incest, but to show their life.
- no Pottercest fics of other types than AU that flows out of a changed event in the past. I mean, no ghost!James, no “Harry travels back in time and meets James” (or James travels forward).
- no WIPs that have only a chapter or two written; I’d also prefer no abandoned WIPs that don’t show most of the story.
- no drabbles;
- do not bring fics that you haven’t read;
- do not bring fics that you didn’t like;
- do not bring fics the authors of which show no decent grammar or spelling skill even if you liked them;
- do me a courtesy, please, do not leave only a link. I’d be really grateful if you tell me (besides the title and author) whether the fic is a WIP or completed, what the pairings and the rating are; what kind of AU it is (was there an attack or not, etc). You’ll spare me hours of rushed reading!

Within the groups the fics are sorted in alphabetical order by TITLE (articles excluded). All fics here are AU (or, seldom, AR) by default, so I’m not marking them as such.

These are NOT my recs; it’s just a themed listing.

Special marks:

# - liked
## - loved
NR - have not read
new - added in the last month or so

GO TO:

1. James and/or Lily survive(s) the assault on Godric’s Hollow.
2. Other AUs where James and/or Lily are alive (no attack of Godric’s Hollow ever happened).
3. Pottercest relevant for this list (see rules above).

• About

  Hello,

  this is pj's fannish place made with the goal to be a sort of public library of (or a gateway to) fanfiction. I read mostly slash, I love sex and various kinks, so if you are underage and somehow wormed your way here past net nannies and warnings, please surf responsibly and go somewhere else when you are asked to!
