Fool Me Twice by Dawnie
Lily Evans is pretty, intelligent, vivacious… and accused of murder. James Potter is privileged, arrogant, and conceited… and her best chance at avoiding Azkaban. If only he wasn’t convinced of her guilt.
With a war looming in the background and evil slowly seeping into the wizarding world, seven years of secrets unravel, and two very different people find themselves caught up in a battle against privilege, intolerance, and greed.
But even in the darkness, and even in the despair, there is still friendship, and love, and hope.

Just to clarify - this takes place in the late 1980s, something that will become more evident as the story progresses. Lily and James are both in their late 20s. And although it is clearly AU (James and Lily did not start dating at Hogwarts, did not marry shortly after, and did not die on Halloween 1981), Dumbledore, Voldemort, and the war all have major roles to play.
