Fics like To be, or not to be

James and Lily were always meant to be together. Everyone thinks so — their friends, their professors, even the universe itself, when it crowns them Head Boy and Head Girl. It is the story that feels inevitable, almost fated. And yet, there was Claudette — Lily Evans’ very opposite. For a time, she stood in the sun that was James Potter, when he, against all expectation, turned his boundless love upon her. She knew the weight and the wonder of his devotion, his deep, cutting love that illuminated every shadow she tried to hide in. And then she threw it away. She broke the heart of the only boy she had ever loved. But hearts are stubborn things. And though she told herself it was over, though he tried to believe it, some bonds refuse to be severed. Their eyes still find each other across rooms, their silences still ring with the ache of what was lost — and perhaps, what might yet be found again.
