hp look back: pre-Harry
Aug. 7th, 2011 12:08 amOkay, trying this again, since the vote was "yes," but going a lot faster this time!
Timing: before Harry was born.
"Lily and the Marauders" got the most comments of any one-shot I've ever written in HP fandom. The story was sparked by some guy posting on Something Awful his distress that his girlfriend read NC17 Harry Potter fanfiction. Of course the reasonable response was to write some NC17 Harry Potter fanfiction about a female character who reads erotica and the man who loves her for it. It was inspired by a passage from that classic collection of Victorian porn, The Pearl, and that choice was inspired partially by the high Victorian language of the Marauder's Map, hence the somewhat stilted dialogue during the fantasy sequence. It's the only story I've written set during the Marauders Era.
Lily and the Maruaders: Lily/James, Remus/Sirius, Lily/Marauders, NC-17, 5400 words. Lily Evans likes lots of things. She likes her body, and she likes books, but she doesn't much care for James Potter or his friends. James and his friends—well, that's another matter altogether.
