My favorite super cliche jily fanfic tropes that I eat up Every. Single. Time.
The fricken heads common room/dorms they get to share that are like not cannon at all but whatever. im down
Lily like "omg no im not going to the quidditch game to see james | just.... developed an interest in quidditch"
the 3 other marauder playing matchmaker
lily being 100% convinced that mature james is just to mess with her
“Oh no were in a broom closet together” “oh no the door has been locked”
james being like "lily's never gonna love me and snogging some other girl and lily sees and she's like AHHSKOSSJ WHAT NO HE'S MINE!!!!!!
Secret dating because lily is too proud to admit she LUVSSSS JAMESSS
walking in on each other in shared head's bathroom SGJUBEHFEHBN
death eater attack on hogsmeade + james and lily find themselves alone. one is injured
Lily going to stay at james' GIGANTIC ASS house over the winter bc why not honestly even though she "doesn't like him"
lily literally being in denial for ¾ of the fic
Heavy on the platonic lilypad
James tutoring lily in transfiguration (commentarius)
LILY ACCIDENTALLY BEING OUT IN A FULL MOON and she sees james as a stag and he saves her but she doesn't know it's him
lily being like "wtf James this isn't funny give the heads badge back to remus and get out of the prefects compartment
james accompanying lily to petunias wedding
Lily being super ultra jealous of the girl(s) james dates (especially 6th year)
Jily comforting each other after their parents die
James finally getting hella frustrated at lily and yelling BECAUSE IVE LOVED YOU FOR FOREVER AND YOURE JUST TOO DENSE TO SEE IT (or something)
The shouting to snogging pipeline in general
FLEAMONT AND EUPHEMIA MEET LILY
