Holiday fic list

[shimotsuki]

mrstater has suggested that it would be fun if people posted links to the fics they've written that have a winter holiday theme. I've only got a few, and they're all Potter (largely because most of the other fandoms I write for have completely different gods!), but here goes:

• The Things We Remember (OotP | 4725 words | PG/mild profanity and Father Christmas spoilers)
  Remus and Tonks navigate the minefield that is Christmas and discover that sometimes the difficult part is not the giving, but the receiving.
  
  
• Messages (DH | 3835 words | PG/mild profanity)
  Tonks has a lot to worry about as Christmas approaches: her decreasing usefulness as an undercover agent, her father's fate as a Muggle-born wizard on the run, and the fact that her parents and her husband still don't seem to understand each other.
  
  
• Morning Snow (AU | 100 words | G)
  On Christmas Eve, Remus is trying to recover from the full moon, but something wakes him up.
  
  
• To Dream, To Wake (AU | 385 words | PG)
  One cold night, Remus has a vivid dream.
  
  
• ETA: I forgot one!
  Playing Hippogriff (1364 words | G)
  On Christmas Eve of 1981, someone unexpected turns up at a play park in Little Whinging. Does Harry remember who used to "play hippogriff" with him at Godric's Hollow? And what will Petunia do about this intrusion into her well-ordered life?

(Next year, I should have another one to add, because my current project for the Winter Hallows Advent at metamorfic_moon is set at HBP Christmas. ;) )

And if you're looking for more to read, here is mrstater's holiday fic list, which is a lot longer than mine. :)

Hope everyone is having a good weekend, and good luck to people running up against the deadline at chalion_ibra!

So much to re-read now!

most of the other fandoms I write for have completely different gods!

Now that would be a fun challenge--to create some kind of winter holiday for Chalion-verse! I think in LotR they still had Yule, even though Middle Earth pretty much lacks any religion at all...

That would be fun! It would be for the Father; maybe a midwinter or solstice festival? Then there could be one for the Mother too, maybe, in midsummer...

Come to think of it, I've seen other fantasy 'verses with winter solstice holidays, like the Festival of Sunreturn in the Earthsea series.

Totally stealing that idea for a future chalion_ibra challenge ;) lol
