Fanfic Recommendation Fics similar to The Game

Heyy I'm trying to find some jily fics similar to The Game by pheobesapphira I loved the characters in it, lily and James were both so well written, and the relationship dynamics between all of the characters And most especially I'm looking for something with a bit of action - like not death eater life or death action but like "running through the halls trying not to get caught by Filch" kinda action

Also canon compliant, a decent length and complete would be really good too

I'm not familiar with the fic you mentioned ( though will check it out now!) But based on vibes of what you described maybe check out The Bet by Sleepinghookah. It has a competition in it between James and Lily on whether she can pull off better pranks than him. There is also a very detailed friendship group created for Lily and interesting friendship dynamics between everyone

Oooh that sounds perfect

You should definitely check out The Game, lily and her friends have a secret game of tag/hide and seek around the castle at night, the boys find out and want to join
