Recomend any/yours l/j fanfiction. they are in great need.
I'll start by recomending Lily Sotry (alpha) and Lily Story (beta) written by Tabihitta Jones. they are just great stories. Not very Romantic but great lily POV.

A Lily James story that I think is one of the best I've ever read:

Crossroads, by Emmyjean

http://hiddentower.50megs.com/ecrossroads.htm

I warn people who go to this site though, it's very heavily R/Hr and H/G, so for those of you who dislike those ships, like me, be forewarned.....

I saw the story on ff.net, and then remembered this site (one of the other webmistresses has awesome Sims stuff)

Enjoy!

Heaven

Hmm.. the Gilded Lily, but its moreso AU in the end... and extremely long... Oh! Arrival Unexpected by Molly Moon at FA in Schnoogle... I don't have the link right now though...

-Kaori

Here's some good L/J-fics;

The Lost Generation (1975-1982) by Barb.

IMO, one of the best Marauder stories in fandom. Barbs great writing style makes the story's reading worthwile.

And as Kaori said; Arrival Unexpected is a very good story with a quite nice plot thrown into into.

I'll try to find some more good L/J fiction later.

I have to second Heaven's rec of Crossroads. It's an absolutely wonderful fic. It is a love/hate story, so be aware if you don't go for that sort of thing (honestly, I think I'm one of the few H/H shippers who likes love/hate L/J stories). But it's so well written, that even if you don't go for that sort of thing, I still think you should read it. Lily and James are so well written and the author doesn't just throw them together and have them fall madly in love after fighting. There's actual characterization! I could almost weep. I'm anxiously awaiting the next chapter.

I was just wondering what are some good L/J fics?
I'm always looking for more.
Any recommendations?
Oh and can I just make a plea that any recommended fics also have good grammar and spelling? Call me anal but I can't stand fics that have constant grammatical and spelling errors (it's the English major in me).
Thanks.

And here I was about to plug my own story, Pensieve when I read the the grammer/spelling thing.

Yeah, <Awkward laugh>

Okay, I wish I could help you out but I haven't read any fics that are really good on the grasp of English yet. I've accepted that a lot of fanfiction is written by people in their early teens (or tragic people like me with the spelling of one).

Might be a fool's errand, mate.

Actually, Angelina, I've read 'Pensieve' (at least what's posted of it) and really enjoyed it! Keep writing and I'll be happy.

I've read this fic at the portkey that's entitled "Broken Mirror" and it's AU that has James as a Death Eater and Lily as this witch that doesn't know that she has magical powers, yet. just read it, it's pretty hard to explain. I forgot the author but it's newly updated so its still somewhere in the New/Updated section.

Oy! Angelina - love Pensieve! Keep it going!!

I second the Gilded Lily and I'd post the link, but FF.net isn't working right now.

It's an absolutely amazing story, my all time favorite actually. Mandy has great talent when it comes to writing Lily/James stories. She's working on a new one know that's worth reading, In the Blood.

Another cute one is called Frozen Spheres, also on FF.net. It's mostly fanon, with Lily and James being friends, but it's still really cute.

Ok. I can post the links now!

-The Gilded Lily by Mandy

-Frozen Spheres by Evil Green Jello

-It's In the Blood by Mandy

-When Dawn Breaks the Night by KirbeeDesirae

Okay I have a few recommendations. These are all PG-13. I'm not into swearing or smut because I know Ms. Rowling doesn't use that sort of thing.( I'm okay with the 'bloody' phrase. I'm half English).
The Unexpected: A Lily and James Story by Emms16
http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1121033
One of my favorite fics. I usually don't like how Lily is a loner is fics, but in this one it works. I love it so much, the only drawback is that there is very little Wormtail. But again, I think that it works for this fic. OH, and Lily's best friend is completely original and unique. It gets a little annoying with the girls who hate Lily, but then again it works with the plot. Well written. I can't say enough.
While You Were Out by Ron
http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=290056
A really cute on-shot fic. Lily and James are already married. It is such a cute fic.
The Boy Who Loved Lily by Rinoa
http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=772113
I laughed, I cried, and I read. An AMAZINGLY REAL story. Lily is torn between her feelings. I love this fic so much.
Hogwarts Gets MArried by Rinoa
http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=806116
A fun, hysterical fic. Rinoa is a great author.
Crazy For This Girl by Rinoa, again
http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=806116
Cute fic. James is smitten with Lily while she despises him. Another good one by Rinoa.
How the Other Half Lives by Rilina
http://www.sugarquill.net/read.php?storyid...d=1220&chapno=1
Very different fic. I like it a lot. Purely Lily/JAmes with very little MWPP. It is about how Voldemort is increasing in power. Lily's parents were killed and James wants to comfort her, while he finds comfort himself.

Can the authoress of 'Arrival Unexpected' do a little self-plugging and mention that the first chapter of the sequel to Arrival, 'Return to Sender' is online? It's available here at the Portkey.

Make me happy. Feed the review monster!

I liked the story "Pensieve" by Oy! Angelina. I don't know how to do the links, but it's on portkey.

I second the vote for "The Boy Who Loved Lily". It is a very nice story.

Hey i read this really good fic ont his site called Just You. it's really good so far but it is not complete yet. There is lots of good fluffy smut in it! Che ck it out!
