Summary
It's 1975 and Lily Evans lives a double life.
At home, she's the Irish Catholic daughter of a union organizer in a dying industrial town. At Hogwarts, she never puts a toe out of line, never gives her pure-blood classmates a reason to doubt her. Lily has big plans, even if she's not sure what, precisely, those plans entail.
James Potter has never had to be anyone but himself.
Why would he? Wealthy, good-looking, and intelligent, he knows he's lucky, but the war is bringing what's important into sharp relief. His ageing parents have joined the Order of the Phoenix, and James longs to fight alongside them.
When Voldemort's followers murder seven Muggle-borns in broad daylight just before the start of their fifth year, tensions at Hogwarts reach an all-time high. The so-called Dark Lord is recruiting from the student body, and the time has come to act. The trouble is, Hogwarts isn't split between good people and Death Eaters, and old prejudices die hard.
Lily and James have always been enemies - ask anybody. But now that they've found themselves on the same side of an escalating war waged in classrooms and corridors, they're forced to see each other in a different light.

Summary
An extensive, cannon adjacent (ish) retelling of the Marauders seven years at Hogwarts and a bit beyond. Takes us from the four first meeting on the train, to the discovery for Remus’ condition, through The Prank and aftermath, and a slow burn romance for Wolfstar with about as much angst and miscommunication as you could expect from the gay son of bloodpurist assholes and the queer werewolf who doesn’t believe himself capable of being truly loved. Various Jily interludes as well, of course.
