AH I found it!!

“Marry me,” Mr. Potter repeats, closing the distance between them by striding back up towards the sofa, only to stop and crouch to one knee right there at her feet, looking up at her. Burning. “Pick me,” he elaborates. “Pick me, choose me, love me instead.”

(arranged marriage, regency au)

also in my search found some other regency AUs that sound fun but I have not read I don't think:

The Very Regency (Un)Ladylike Guide To Fortune-Hunting by ritaskeetered (rated M)

certain sharp things by thequibblah (rated M)

OHHH so i did my homework and i think i narrowed it down after texting @petalstofish for moral support lol

I think #1 is Superman bc classic. That song is about harry and ginny fight me lol

Then my extras are (in no particular order):

Lavender Haze

Message in a Bottle

peace

Sparks Fly

…

But seriously any song can be about your otp if you try hard enough. Some of my cuts were “nah this is more jily”

OO I do have some!

They are HYPE for jily to be a thing but for different reasons

Fleamont and lily must bond over potions it's law

I think Euphemia is more romantic and into the whole wooing thing (including trying to meddle)

I think they're both super smart and that that fleamont does some strategic work to fight against blood purity mess and that Euphemia is more in your face (like writing letters to the prophet, one woman protests, fights at ladies tea room, etc)

fleamont I think of as an introvert and Euphemia is more extroverted

I think fleamont has a tendency to go along with Sirius and James antics if they make it sound like an experiment and Euphemia goes for different antics when it sounds more like its for a laugh (or if its connected to her in your face type activities ^ see above lol)

I kinda think neither one of them can cook particularly well (more like they cook fine but neither has an interest and maybe they are obsessed w muggle pre made stuff after an unsuccessful period of trying to overcome gamp's law re: food transfiguration)

They banter a lot, pretty non romantic until suddenly they are and James HATES it and Sirius loves to try and make it happen (he says its to annoy James, but he also loves to see well adjusted in love parental figures)

I think they never push the boys to tell them about remus, but they know and always suggest/provide things that make his full moons better

I kinda like the idea of them both being pretty hopeless athletically so when baby James is just AMAZING on a broom and loves quidditch they're HYPED

Euphemia is very elegant but not in an unapproachable way

She's also excellent at all card games and makes the boys play her for candy

I have a ton of favorites categorized here - its a work in progress so not all fic titles have working links atm.

Plus all my Tumblr hinny faves are tagged here

AH Thank you!! I am so glad. It is SO hard to pick favorites - so I'll say these are some favorites, but definitely not all because I am SURE I am neglecting to include some of my favorites.

Are You Experienced? by AnnaBtG

(ps long time lurker who loves your writing, excited for whatever you write!)

It's that fic writer feel for me write now, where I wake up and I'm like oo I want to read the rest of that fic about ....oh right.... I have to decide what happens LOL <3 thank you for lurking. I hope you like the snippet below.

This is a hinny sneak peek (but from neither of those fics, this is the Christmas snapshots one):

“Someone better tell me where the bloody hell Crookshanks is.”

Harry stifles a laugh as he takes in the empty kitchen, dishes laid out to dry from a full Weasley clan dinner. All the dishes seem to have been used and cleaned except one covered plate settled on the counter and covered with a checked towel, his name embroidered across the top. 

Molly is crafty - and a bit cheeky - and he’s late a lot.

“Ron - where’ve you hic- put him?”

Whatever answer Ron comes up with is drowned out by Ginny’s entrance into the kitchen - stumbling and decidedly un-graceful when compared to her usual ‘I’m a sportswoman’ gait.

“They’re about to go at it,” she mutters over her shoulder, filling a glass nearly to the brim at the sink.

“Go at it like fight or - ”
