I know what you're thinking. You're probably thinking, What kind of username is x_lily_evans_x? And I agree whole-heartedly with you. x_lily_evans_x is a username that I'd chosen at the tender age of thirteen and five-sixths, and while most people at that age were capable of thinking wise beyond their years, I was, very unfortunately, not one of their number. And then now, two years on, when I'm capable of a higher level of thinking, I've wanted to change my penname loads of times, but it's just not allowed here. And because I have quite a number of stories up, I just simply cannot be bothered to sign up for a new account. So I'm stuck with that lousy penname. The end.
I'd like to thank all my former beta readers, and Joanna (lucilla_pauie) for beta'ing Intertwining Fates. I'd also like to thank my homies, Eliezer, who read through my excerpt bunnies and give me great suggestions for my romance fics, and Cherie, who came up with the brilliant title Turning Tables.Thanks go to Quan Yue, who tirelessly read through and edited my fic. Thanks, you guys! :D
Well, you-who-are-reading-this-page, I hope you'll take some time to browse through my fics, especially the more recent ones. Enjoy!

Date: 11/22/06 Title: Chapter 13: Chapter Thirteen: The Scar
I don't know exactly how long I've waited for this chapte, but it seems like eternity! But it's really worth it, because this chapter was really nice. And I really loved the ending of this chapter! Ginny and Harry really deserved it. I'm waiting for the epilogue now!
Author's Response: lol, yes, I\'m sorry it took so long to get this chapter out. Real life got very, uh, interesting. In any case, I\'m so glad you liked it and I hope the Epilogue doesn\'t disappoint when I finish it! :)
Date: 01/08/07 Title: Chapter 14: Epilogue
I LOVE THE ENDING. Now I feel both sad and happy, because it's such a nice ending, and because AtDiC has ended. Still, you ended things with a bang, figuratively.
Author's Response: You\'re so kind to say that. Don\'t be too sad. There is a prequel up ahead, and with any luck, it\'ll turn out well (although, admittedly, topping this story is gonna mean getting REALLY creative!). Anyway, you\'ve been awesome to keep up with the story since the beginning, and for that, I thank you and send you many internet hugs :D
Date: 07/17/06 Title: Chapter 11: Chapter Eleven: Two Serpents
I feel like crying! I AM crying! Oh my god, you are such a great writer I simply cannot find the words to describe you! At this moment, a tear is running down my cheek. *weeps*
Date: 07/17/06 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: Song of the Phoenix
Oh my god! oh my god! oh my god! I can actually FEEL the emotions the characters are going through. You're such a brilliant writer! I feel so inspired and in awe. I bow to you! *kowtows*
I really like your style of writing. I really think you should become an author. I feel like I was reading the last book of Harry Potter! You're as good as J.K. Rowling herself! You rock my socks!
I love this story's plotline, I can't tell you how many times it made me cry. Especially when Harry was talking to Dumbledore. I want to cry really badly now, but I can't since my mother is under the impression that I'm doing my work.
This story made me so... full, I know that sounds stupid, but it does, it makes me feel as though I'd just downed some Butterbeer... actually, even better! Never mind, I can't find the words to explain... All I have left to say is: Keep up the brilliant work!
Date: 07/17/06 Title: Chapter 12: Chapter Twelve: Song of the Phoenix
If this is the end, Please,. please, PLEASE do write an epilogue. I'm sure many of your readers will request the same as well!
Author's Response: I\'m sorry I haven\'t had a chance to respond to all of the reviews, but this question has come up frequently enough that I\'ll just reply to all here!
Yes, there will be a Chapter 13 AND an epilogue. We need to find out how everyone else is doing after the battle, and some things still need to be tied up (*cough*Harry and Ginny*cough*). Chapter 13 will be much lighter, a little emotional, and just a much happier chapter to compensate for so much darkness before it.
Tremendous thanks to everyone for your amazing insights, compliments, and emotional responses. I can\'t say how much they mean to me!
A Seed From The Ground by Seren
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •
Summary: Auror-in-training Kingsley Shacklebolt is learning to blend in with the crowd in downtown London. There, he meets a small, lost girl, and learns how much impact a simple act of kindness can really have.
Date: 06/15/08 Title: Chapter 1: A Seed From the Ground
Awww! This is such a sweet one-shot. I had no idea that the girl was Hermione until the last bit said so, and it was a really pleasant surprise.
That the whole incident happened in an outdoor market made me think of the bustling market that I'd visited in my brief visit to London. It's great that you set the fic in such a place, because almost everyone who's been to London has gone to at least one market (they're rather popular with tourists, aren't they) and so most of us can probably picture the first part of the fic. I also loved the use of the slang "bobby", it made it seem more English and somehow more authentic.
I can just see Hermione as a little kid wanting to become a policewoman. And I loved the mention of cavities, it brings in the fact that Hermione's parents are dentists. Pity I didn't see that and figured it out earlier. That was a really lovely story, and I enjoyed it immensely.

Not Our War by snufflesismyidol
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: A series of letters between Daniel and Chloe during the first world war. Thanks to my betas! This story is for anyone interested in the war like me. I hope every word is in English, I learn History in French. Part one is the first 2 years, and part two is the last 2 years.
Date: 06/09/08 Title: Chapter 2: Part 2
I think it's very cool how you linked it back to Harry by making it Harry's great x? grandfather who fought in the war. It was interesting to read how the wizards fought alongside the Muggles in the war, and it's sad that so many people died.

The Awakening by hearyoume
Rated: 1st-2nd Years •Summary: My own shocking ending to the Harry Potter series (last chapter). Harry wakes up from a deep sleep and what he learns turns his world upside down...
Date: 06/26/06 Title: Chapter 1: The Awakening
I liked this story alot! There's just one question I'm dying to ask: so in his real-real life, is he a wizard, or just an ordinary Muggle?
Author's Response: Well, I wrote it with the idea that everything was just a dream - even wizards - and that Harry was just a normal person like us, with no such thing as magic. But it\'s still kind of open to your own interpretation, so whatever you make of it... Thanks for reviewing!
Date: 05/31/06 Title: None
I love this story!!!! Update more please!
From Abomination to Adoration by grape_2010
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary: What caused Lily to loathe James and James to loathe Lily? How did they come to fall in love? What bumps and bruises did they acquire along the way? From hexing to comforting, this is the way it all started. Endure dangers and hardships, perplexity and mind games, and matters of the heart.

AAAAH! write some more. I really really can't bear the suspense!
Date: 06/21/06 Title: Chapter 1: Prelude: Nasty Beginnings
I know this is totally out of point... but my cousin is exactly the same age as you. As in, she's born on 2 July 1992. I think it's cool, cos she likes Mugglenet too (:
Author's Response: Really? That\'s cool! I\'ve never heard of anyone with the same year as me, though I know a few with the month and day. :)
Date: 04/06/06 Title: Chapter 11: Fame Isn't Everything
Your story is really really really good... it's so nice and funny! haha
Date: 06/19/06 Title: Chapter 14: It Begins
WHAT begins??? I'm dying to find out.
Author's Response: Um... this entire chapter was about \"WHAT\" begins...
Date: 07/19/06 Title: Chapter 18: Taken Hostage
Poor Lily! I know how hunger is like. I've experienced it in school! For a shorter time period though, lol. Honestly, cafeteria food is horrible. Anyway, it's a great plot! Keep it going!
Author's Response: Ugh, cafeteria food. Don\'t remind me. I\'ve still got about a month before I have to go back to cafeteria food. Anyway, thanx for the review! :)

Date: 05/30/06 Title: Chapter 13: Excrutio Venenum
ahha! funny you should mention "To Kill a Mockingbird". I studied that novel for lit earlier this year. (: My guess is that Kimmy's under the Imperius Curse and that drink which she gave Lily is from Lord Voldemort right??? ^^
Symphony for Quartet by Tinn Tam
Rated: 3rd-5th Years •Summary:
Winner of the QuickSilver Quills Award, categ. Best Marauder Era.
What did being a Marauder truly mean?... Let's just say that some tunes cannot be played by a lone musician; and those four's lives were certainly not soloists' scores. In class or in detention, in Quidditch matches or full-moon wanderings, fleeing before monsters or confronting dark wizards, they wrote, measure after measure, their own eight-handed piece.Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, are proud to present a Symphony for Quartet.
Date: 08/18/07 Title: Chapter 13: Of Disturbed Stomachs, Green Hair and Ballet
Oh, gosh, you updated!!! Finally!!! I would've abandoned following this story if I hadn't seen your other fanfic, Marie Antoinette, quite recently updated, so I hoped that you'd update this fic soon. And you did! Congratulations, this was one brilliant chapter, and I loved the way you characterised everyone so accurately. Especially the part where James starts acting arrogant! Write more, you're really a gifted writer. (:
Date: 06/24/06 Title: Chapter 9: {YEAR TWO} Of fantastic stories, scales and reunion
I am feeling so warm and fuzzy right now! And I meant that in a really good way. You are a brilliant author. I really loved this story. It captured the friendship of the Marauders so well. I am willing to bet that your story is what J.K. Rowling never managed to tell us. It was brilliant, wonderful, and captivating. And of course, it's the work of a genius.
Author's Response: Wow! Is it really all that... at the same time???
Sorry, I always tend to make extremely stupid remarks whenever I\'m feeling all warm and fuzzy myself. And how could I not feel warm and fuzzy after receiving a review like yours? I\'m not sure that story is the work of a genius, but still, a million thanks for your kind words.
Now I\'m going to walk around with a silly grin on my face for a week.Date: 07/28/06 Title: Chapter 11: Of Nosebleeds, Mischievous Mirrors and Disastrous Trips
Yayy! First to review this chapter!
First of all, I'd like to say: good job! I think this story is really great, keep up the good work.
I also like the way Sirius is so attached to James. It kind of foreshadows their closeness in their later Hogwarts years (:
Keep writing, you're really good!
Author's Response: Thanks! One of the things I like best in Marauders stories is James and Sirius\' close friendship. I\'m glad you liked the few lines in the train, about Sirius wanting to wait for James. Kids do that a lot, right? Waiting for each other... even later, they do that.
Thanks for the review!
Date: 10/02/07 Title: Chapter 1: {YEAR ONE} Gryffindor-Slytherin clash
Hello! I loved the way you portrayed Sirius Black. He seems to resent his family a lot, and this is definitely is in character. I always imagined Sirius as being a little rebel, and you managed that perfectly! And his inner train of thought is very believable, really like that of a eleven-year-old boy who wants to be free of his parents' clutches. :D Good job on characterisation!
