Warning[s]: I don't think anything too bad. Fluff. Bed sharing. Hints of eating disorder. Not true to the books.
#01 - Air
He’s right there, Romy’s leaning close to her and his eyes sparkle like they used to and she comes up to meet him, but right before his lips touch hers, Livvy finds herself alone, in her bed at her house, with her hands clutching nothing but air.
#02 - Apples
Whoever gets the most apples wins, they decide, racing to collect them all, and when Liv comes out with one more than Rom, she kisses him; "I win."
#03 - Beginning
Romolus looked down at the new bundle from his mother’s arms, and Olivia opened her eyes with curiosity when they rested on a little boy with blonde hair and smiled for the first time.
#04 - Bugs
The crickets chirp and the frogs croak and the bugs and animals are alive tonight, just like Romy and Livvy, who are too engrossed in each other to notice the fading sun.
#05 - Coffee
Olivia thanked Lyra with a smile when she found a cup of coffee by her place at the table, but Ly told her that she had nothing to do with it and gestured over to Romy, who was pretending to be too absorbed in a book to notice Livvy’s blush.
#06 - Dark
She considers dying her hair one day, that is, until Romy tells her that he likes redheads best and winks.
#07 - Despair
She's not supposed to rely so much on one person, especially a guy, she's been told that so many times, but the world just seems like a worse place every day because he isn't in it with her.
#08 - Doors
"Remember the door's always open," she says, "and when it isn't, you can use the window, Rom."
#09 - Drink
Livvy's sitting there, alone and pretending it didn't hurt to see some other girl holding his hand and kissing him, but it doesn't work; someone sits beside her and orders two drinks - for him and her - and she looks over to find Romolus, alone.
#10 - Duty
He’s with that bitch again and Livvy finally storms up to him (it’s her duty to tell him when he’s being stupid, that’s what best friends are for) and yells at him, “You made me fall in love with you!”
#11 - Earth
Romolus would go to the ends of the earth for her; he just wishes that was enough to make her his forever.
#12 - End
It’s the end and he knows it when she comes to him with red-rimmed, tired eyes, no matter how much they want it, it can’t be and it tears him apart to see his Livvy like this.
#13 - Fall
He's there when she blinks, vision blurry since her glasses are on the nightstand, with a sharp pain in her leg and arm when she wakes up in the hospital wing after a quidditch game, and he brings his lips to hers quickly, thanking her for waking up.
#14 - Fire
He was helping her with Astronomy by the fire when she felt fingers under her chin and his mouth crash down on hers, erasing any other thoughts from her, and wished she could say something other than “We can’t,” when she saw the fire reflect in his eyes.
#15 - Flexible
Livvy is sitting in the chair the wrong way, her feet are in the air and her head is hanging off the edge, closer to the floor, where Romy is sitting and she stretches her back, just flexible enough to reach his lips from her position.
#16 - Flying
Quidditch was the only time she really felt free before Romy kissed her, and when they had to separate she threw herself into the sport, wishing with all she had that she could get that free feeling back again.
#17 - Food
It’s so hard to eat these days because Romy said he would care about her the most, no matter what, even if that was years ago, and if he doesn’t, why does she even deserve the things she has?
#18 - Foot
Devon’s tired of seeing his sister like this so he shoves her toward Romolus in the middle of the dance floor; for the first dance they stay the book-definition of a foot away, but he asks her to dance again and this time they’re much closer.
#19 - Grave
"It's not fair!" she says again, and he just hugs her, letting his six-year-old best friend cry on his shoulder over the Romy-made grave of the little bird they had found in the yard the day before.
#20 - Green
She’s walking down the street in Hogsmeade with Lyra and when she sees them her nails dig into her hands and she wants nothing more than to shove the stupid girl aside and shove Romy against the building - to snog him or hit him, she doesn’t know.
#21 - Head
“It’s that easy?” she asks in disbelief because potions has always been a nightmare for her, but Romy taps the side of her head and smiles; she really is adorable when the light bulb goes off.
#22 - Hollow
“Your head can’t be that hollow,” Lyra teases at her younger brother, “because anyone can see that you two are in love with each other.”
#23 - Honor
You should be honored to be Olivia Potter, they tell her and it's Romy who tells her that he should be honored to hold Livvy in his arms.
#24 - Hope
They whisper all the help they have to each other, hoping that his mother and her father will make it out all right like they always say they will.
#25 - Light
The fading light from the sunset shines off his golden-blonde hair, making it glow, and it takes every bit of willpower she has in her to resist the urge to run up to him and swing her arms around his neck, feeling the warmth of his hands at her waist and his mouth on hers.
#26 - Lost
Olivia has been nothing these past few weeks, months, she’s lost track of the time, staring at nothing and picking at her food without eating and not being able to forget - because she isn’t Livvy without him.
#27 - Metal
Livvy's window creaks, he finds out a second too late, but decides not to go back and continues, finding her still awake but staring into space, like she has been for the past few months, and finds a place beside her, putting a hand at her waist to signal his presence.
#28 - New
She doesn't know exactly when it happened, but sometime she started seeing his habits as more than cute, his hugs make her heart skip rapidly in her chest, and his smile makes her day.
#29 - Old
She doesn’t smile much or laugh, she picks at her food more than she eats it, she looks down, she doesn’t even look happy, she doesn’t look like the old Livvy, the one he knew so well, and he watches her slip away every day but doesn’t know what to do.
#30 - Peace
She tosses and turns, unable to really get to sleep until someone comes and wraps an arm around her, pulling her close and letting a peaceful expression come to her face when she turns once more in her half-sleep and snuggles into his chest for the night.
#31 - Poison
She’s filling out some potions exam (Poison or Healing?) and can’t herself from looking over at his bent form every few seconds; maybe he’s her healing poison.
#32 - Pretty
She’s wearing a blue dress for the event and trying to get her stubborn hair to corporate when he sneaks up behind her, kisses her temple and says that she isn’t pretty, but beautiful.
#33 - Rain
When he told her she was going to catch a cold if she stayed in the rain for too much longer, Livvy just pulled him into the storm and said they could go to the wing together.
#34 - Regret
He kisses her and he shouldn’t, they can’t do this, they already tried and they know how well it turned out, it’ll only hurt her more, but she does anything but regret it when he leans in toward her again.
#35 - Roses
Livvy yawns, groping for her glasses on the bedside table, but before she finds them, her hand grabs onto a stem (or what she thinks is a stem) and even with horrible vision she can make out the shape and smell of a rose; he's even written his name in large enough letters that she can read without her frames.
#36 - Secret
"I have a secret, Liv," he whispers one evening, right as the sun is about to set, and she giggles, "I love you."
#37 - Snakes
When Olivia gets bitten by a small snake in the front yard, he rushes to her, saying that he saw something on Aunt Lily’s TV-thing about sucking out the venom, but she just guides his mouth to hers (“Here, maybe this will help”), knowing it was just a garter.
#38 - Snow
During the first snowfall of every year they would go out and have a snowball fight with Lyra, Devon, Ricky, Leo, and Miles, but something was different when Romy put his arm around her waist and asked if she would like to make snow angels instead.
#39 - Solid
They're barely seven, but she just learned how to make these friendship bracelets, and she ties one around his wrist; "Best friends forever, right, Romy?"
#40 - Spring
It’s the first day they’re allowed to forget about their jackets when they go to play outside, and Liv spins around with her bubble wand, bubbles flying all around the yard and Romolus jumps to pop them, both of them laughing the whole time.
#41 - Stable
They build a tower of pillows and are so impressed in their own four-year-old talent that they think the tower has to be able to hold them both, but it tumbles over, causing injuries on both parts; Livvy does what her Mummy does when she gets hurt to stop Romy’s tears and kisses the bruise on his elbow.
#42 - Strange
Strange - she doesn’t know how else to describe the funny feeling in her stomach that she gets whenever Romy walks into a room nowadays; where did it come from?
#43 - Summer
Summer was for drinking lemonade and having Romy referee their quidditch games and teasing Lyra and Devon and kissing in that old storage shed that Devon was too scared of to find them out.
#44 - Taboo
Olivia should have known everything would only go downhill when she finally realized it, should have known that as soon as she was perfectly happy, something would come and ruin it for her, should have known the words were unlucky; "Romy, I think I love you."
#45 - Ugly
She’s convinced that even if she was ugly on the outside, Romy would look right through it and brag to every one about how beautiful she was.
#46 - War
Someday she hopes that they’ll have grown old together, her and Romy, and can tell their grandkids the same war stories their parents told them when they were kids.
#47 - Water
Romolus would say his eyes were boring and water-colored, but all Livvy could think was that they were the prettiest water she had seen in her life.
#48 - Welcome
Livvy runs over to his house as soon as she rips open the letter, jumping up and down and hugging him; "We're going, Romy, we're going!"
#49 - Winter
Winter is cold and harsh and Olivia's father knows something is wrong when she doesn't want to help decorate the tree and would rather sit on the armchair, curled up and staring at nothing; it's Christmas without Romolus.
#50 - Wood
"I love you!" they say at the same time and start to laugh; Olivia taps her knuckles on the wooden desk beside them ("jinx") and he kisses her to lift the no-talking ban.
