*Sigh*. That was wonderful!! This second part left me with such giddy feelings.

I loved the flying scene and anticipated (and loved) the nicely cliched James-taking-Lily-for-a-ride bit. The ice skating scene was lovely and very sweet.

I loved this line: “Another crime sentence averted,” and the allusion to James and Sirius' motorbike adventure.

I loved that Lily's feelings were changing and she was accepting that. I loved this: “He’s told me the truth, dear,” she said gently. “James has only ever said the truth about you.” Swoooon

Thank you for all the lovely comments! <3 I tried to pull off how Lily's feelings changed over the course of the fic as best I could. Of course, she came to the Potters' house already having noticed how he changed and not knowing how to feel about it, but I wanted to have her shift slightly towards actually fancying him by the end without it seeming too unrealistic. And I had fun playing with James' parents.

Hmm, I suppose I could write more! I'm not sure what at the moment, but I've had a serious bug for Lily/James lately, so it's entirely possible. :D

And no, I haven't seen the movie! I watched the trailer that you linked in your prompt, but I was afraid of the movie coloring my fic, so I didn't watch it. But I definitely will now.

Yay, an Alex gif! :D

[starry_laa]

It definitely wasn't unrealistic at all!

Yeah, it would be diffcult to continue seeing as they have reached a conclusion of sorts but I guess you can always go back on moments they shared whilst adjusting to being around each other? Or you know, just write another story in the same sort if vein! Whichever, I'm really looking forward to more stuff from you. Of the very little I've read from you (this and that other fic you posted the other day), you're a really good writer!

Also, just so you know, the movie is cheesy and doesn't have the strongest plot, but I found it uplifting and fun which is the perfect recipe for this time of year, y/y?! I hope you enjoy it when you watch it! ♥

Oh, I forgot to say, I really loved the letter you made for this and the graphic at the end too!

[perilousgard]

Thanks so much! I may continue with something in the same universe--I've got so many Lily/James fics planned, in truth, that it may take me awhile to get to but I'll definitely consider it! I'm in the middle of a short chaptered fic right now, and after that I'm going to attempt a longer work. Usually that epically fails, so wish me luck! Haha.

I've got it saved to my computer now, so I'll probably watch it later on tonight! It looks really cute, actually. :D

And thanks! For some reason, I seem unable to resist adding graphics to my submissions here.

Loved this story! Your James was so sweet. I also, really enjoyed the interactions with James' parents. Are you considering writing a sequel? Hint, hint :)

[perilousgard]

Thanks! :D I hadn't considered it, but it could happen.

Siiiigh. This was so fluffy and cute. :)
