Blithering Mc Gonagall

I keep meaning to do one, but I don’t! So thank you! I’ll do it here and pin it.

We Can Be Heroes canon marauders fic, from 6th year till 31st Oct 1981, with a happy ending... my favourite

A Little Risk my current WIP, an anti-fascist, murder mystery marauders AU - Remus is a Jewish detective in 1930s England, the Duke of Grimmauld is murdered and he is asked to investigate, Lily Evans as P.I. joins the case. Doctor Potter and the Duke’s eldest son are suspects. Who is the murderer??

Maybe I Waited Too Long - A Marauders Medical AU -  Dr. James Potter and Dr. Sirius Black had gotten their lives and careers back on track after the nightmare that followed the collapse of Slytherin Pharmaceuticals, and moved abroad to work in Dublin to get away from painful memories. But they find themselves confronted by their past, their lost loves and arch enemies.

Prongs, What Did You Do? Sirius wants to make Jily happen and James wants to make Wolfstar happen. Neither couple look like they will ever get together, so they both independently decide to take matters into their own hands, like good Wingmen... 

Evans Strikes Back (one shot) Sirius burst out laughing.“Touché, darling,” he said. “Although I think that I fit the part of Han Solo so much better than Prongsie here?”His grey eyes sparkled as he winked at Lily.“Well, obviously,” said Lily, matter-of-factly, popping a handful of crisps into her mouth.“Huh?” said James, looking between them in horror. “That’s… that’s so not true!”

All Too Well Prompt: Wolfstar angst - Snape gives Sirius an ultimatum.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Wolfnoote James and Harry make Wolfstar happen... very fluffy!

The Very End the canon marauders ending/ 31st October 1981 ... ugh, in three parts: Jily, Sirius POV and Remus POV - very bloody tragic

Nah, He Didn't Lily talks to a cute black dog about James Potter... fluffy BlackEvans

The End of a Serene Quarantine (aka: Why The Hell Did Lockdown Have To End) Wolfstar get together fluff

Birthday Blues Sirius turns 60! Wolfstar fluff

The Last Laugh James is embarrassed, friends make it worse and then better

Minding Harry babysitting fluff

Wildflowers Lily puts flowers on Prongs’ head... (Jily fluff and angst)

1. Favourite drink while writing?

2. Favourite person to write about?

3. What’s a go-to song you listen to, in order to get you in the mood to write?

4. Sneak peek at something you’re working on?

Hey there, lovely ❤️ thanks for the ask!

Coffee (cappuccino latte please and thank you)

James Potter - I love both writing him and writing about him from others' POV.

I don't write with music. If I want to write, no matter what's playing, I turn it off.

Okay, so I'm pretty discouraged/disappointed with all my writing, and I'm afraid none of my current WIPs are ever going to be finished. But have a delicious (I think) bit from Revanche:

May

In Love and War (WIP) by Icepen. Rated M.

After a horrible summer before her Seventh Year brings the war to her doorstep, Lily Evans knows one thing for certain-- she will not be safe at Hogwarts anymore. Her position as Head Girl, her new friendship with the Potter heir and the disgraced Black heir, the sudden and tragic murder of her parents all shoves her into a limelight she never wanted. Learning to cope with her grief and her trauma, Lily needs to navigate the treacherous waters of her new situation as the war against people like her escalates in the world she is about to graduate into.

flying lesson (completed, 3.7k) by @allrightevanss1123. Rated G.

lily evans, 11, muggle-born, anxietic as fuck and there's a human megaphone yelling instructions beside her. or james potter, 11, sees the muggle-born girl looking confused during their first flying lesson and decides he needs to help her. because thats what gryffindors do.

stuck here, with you!! (WIP) by @allrightevanss1123. Rated M.

Lily, as the respectable Gryffindor Prefect, had to mentor James Potter in the Hospital Wing for a week because Remus’ ‘sick week’ and Potter’s quidditch accident overlapped together. or James cracked tf outta his skull and heard LETSSS GOOOO

Whoever You Want (WIP) by @allrightevanss1123. Rated M.

​Lily had known him for quite a long time now—James Potter and his weird hair, his desperate jokes, and those horn-rimmed glasses sitting on the bridge of his nose. He couldn’t help but make a fool of himself in front of her every single time. But Lily had never once considered turning him down as "resisting," despite everyone else calling it that, talking about his charm and how cute he acted, how much he fancied her. He was...pretty resistible, really. ​Until he wasn't, at least.

Stone Cold and Rock Hard (completed, 2.4k) by @neverenoughmarauders. Rated T.

Lily let out a breath she didn’t know she’d been holding. ‘James,’ she laughed. ‘When a boy and a girl agree to grab a drink in Hogsmeade, they’re going on a date.’ — Or: James Potter gets undressed and Lily Evans dives into the Black Lake for no reason whatsoever.

The Night Is Over But I'll Still Dance With You (completed, 2.7k) by @gingerqueen0567. Not rated.

Lily is so excited for the prom! Nothing can ruin the night, right?

What's In A Name Anyway? (completed, 2.5k) by @yallthemwitches. Rated T.

“Wait,” he says slowly, his heart somersaulting like it’s been taken for a ride on a broomstick, “A crush on McLauren or me?" Lily shoots him a pitiful look. “Please don’t make me admit I fancy you after basically seeing you naked,” she says bitterly, wiping at her eyes. “I won’t be able to live with myself.”

Second chances (completed, 3.5k) by @vivianjily. Rated M.

James thought he'd made peace with the slow burn of it—becoming Lily's friend, earning back her trust, hoping that eventually she'd see him as more. Then Benjy Fenwick makes her laugh and James realizes he's been fooling himself.

love struck (completed, 3.1k) by @sapphireleo. Rated G.

A love story told in colors of carnations (that he first thought were roses). Ending is kinda angsty. Red. Purple. Blue & White. Pink. More white.

BLAME (completed, 36.7k) by @blitheringmcgonagall. Not rated.

“I take full responsibility for my actions, Sir, I know that you’re going to have to expel me. There is no excuse for what happened. I’m sorry to have to put my parents through this. And Professor McGonagall, I just really wanted to tell her how sorry I am and …” His voice trailed off. Dumbledore’s cold periwinkle eyes regarded him intently, as though engaging in some complicated mental Arithmancy. “If Severus Snape corroborates what you just told me, I’m afraid that is correct, you will be expelled, Mr Potter.” A Marauders What If...? What if James had been blamed for the Prank? What if he got expelled at the end of Fifth Year? What if there was never a Lily Evans and James Potter, Head Boy and Head Girl? If they parted enemies, if they never got together in their final year in Hogwarts? What if the marauders lost James? What then?

Sweet Thing (completed, 5.7k) by @stonecoldhedwig. Rated E.

“Ask me,” he says softly. The room is so quiet, James thinks he can hear the sound of her heartbeat alongside his own. “Tie me up.” **** Or: Lily and James explore that little kink they discovered on Christmas Day.

Operation Love Languages (completed, 5.3k) by @exalthia. Rated T.

“The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate? Moony, what in the name of Merlin’s crusty toenails is this?” asked Sirius, derisively squinting at the cover. “‘Mate,’ is that some werewolf shit?” “I told you, it’s a Muggle book. I think it could help James. Listen, this bloke says there’s five ‘love languages,’ and they’re different ways of showing your love for someone depending on what’s important to them: physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time, gift giving, and acts of service. Our boy has been doing none of these, and look where it’s gotten him. He’s got to woo her.” Love languages, James thought, sounded about as woolly as divination, but if they somehow helped him win Lily over, he’d do anything. He’d even probably attempt to fight the giant squid. Not bare-handed, though, he valued his life, lovelorn as it was. OR—Lily has been unimpressed with James' efforts to win her over, so he tries a new tactic. A Muggle one.

Hard Work (completed, 4.5k) by @feed-the-birdss. Rated T.

Lily Evans is drowning in the effort to belong. James Potter has never had to put effort into anything. Somewhere between broken quills, failed patronus charms, and head duties, they figure out what effort is actually worth.

four a.m. knows all my secrets (completed, 2.6k) by @jilyflowers. Rated E.

They fit together so perfectly, two pieces of a puzzle, a comfortable reminder of what she’s got, rather than what she’s lost. It's a quarter past four in the morning after a rough Order mission, and James and Lily can't sleep.

Ultraviolet (completed, 2k) by @deadlysansa. Rated G.

Emails between Lily and James & co about a missing notebook.

I’ll be Home for Christmas (completed, 4k) by @vagueshadows-fics. Rated E.

I’ll be home for Christmas. The words echo warmly in his mind, a stark contrast to the brutal cold of his present reality. He’d said those words with cavalier confidence mere days ago, his hands on Lily’s waist as he kissed her goodbye on the doorstep of the small cottage they’d moved into only a few weeks ago. He can almost picture her now, cocooned in the safety of their new home — her cheeks flushed from the heat of the kitchen, humming muggle Christmas tunes as she stirs a pot of hot chocolate. The image feels like a beacon of hope in the suffocating cold of this mission. James intends to keep his promise. Or: When a routine reconnaissance mission goes sideways, James is determined to find a way home in time for Christmas

need you like a heartbeat (completed, c500 words) by @oakheartedmuse. Rated G.

"He needed her like a heartbeat and there she was, amusing herself with his suffering." Or, James is sure he's losing his mind, but it's mostly because of the heat and this certain redhead...

may round up - part 1

Hello friends!! It's been a while since I've done a round-up as life has been life-ing, but I'm so happy I finally have the time to do it again. I read a lot of exciting oneshots this month, many of which weren't Wolfstar as I've been branching out a bit (find them here in a separate post). Other than that, everything else mentioned in the categories is Wolfstar, sorted alphabetically by author name.

Don't forget to leave a kudos and comment if you read any fics and feel free to reblog this post ❤️ I hope I didn't miss anything/anyone - but if I left you a kudos/comment in May and your fic is not on the list, please let me know!

“Turn this stupid fat rat yellow!”

Ron jabbed Scabbers with his wand.

Harry leaned forward eagerly, expecting some dazzling display of magic. Instead, a white blur shot through his eyesight.

“Hedwig!”

Before either boy could react, the snowy owl landed squarely in Ron's lap, snatched Scabbers in her talons, and launched herself back into the corridor.

“My rat!” Ron shouted.

“Hedwig, no!”

Revelation

@wolfstarmicrofic - 191 words

It was a great party. Harry and his friends, a few teachers from Hogwarts that Remus had grown close to, everyone that remained of the Order, a happy crowd of people waiting for the day to turn. Kind of funny that the Ministry had chosen literally Harry's birthday to finally revoke charges against Sirius and set him free. After all those years.

In theory Aurors could still come and collect Sirius before that, but given that not just a few were part of the party that was unlikely. Also... the minutes ran out quickly.

Soon people began to count, still silently. Sirius didn't. He looked at Remus, the eyes twinkling with joy. “Now that I am no longer a criminal, but a respectable man...” He grinned at that, couldn't keep it serious. “Will you marry me?”

Remus was speechless. The boldness, the audacity, the fun of it. “Yes. Yes, I will.”

He looked in the mirror and ran his fingers through his hair. He turned to spare a last glance at the sleeping figure before he quietly crept out of the bedroom.

Sirius’ face was softened with sleep, body loose and relaxed, dark hair fanning across the pillow. He looked like an Adonis, even in his sleep.

Last night had been a mistake. A drunken hook-up. A one-time thing.

He should just leave, spare them the awkwardness.

He took a deep breath and stepped out.

Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click. "Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said. Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from. "If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."

And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):

While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model.  Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.

And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:

A Bridge Over Troubled Water by @sliebman10

When Teddy suggests Remus move into a retirement community, he's skeptical. After all, he's lived on his own for years. But he moves in and finds new friends and activities. When he meets Sirius, he finds that you're never too old to fall in love. [Explicit | 17,605 words | No Archive Warnings Apply]

Marauders!!
