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!

It isn't. Nor are any ideas I like at the moment.

Oh, dear! I hope inspiration strikes soon (and hard), but that's not easy when there's all the holiday things to do!

I still want your prompts. ;)

I'm keeping them! (lol) I was so disappointed with the "prank" prompt at first, but actually I think it was the best thing that could have happened to my fic as it's made me pull some different ideas in...

Did you ever hear anything else from my once favourite student? :(

Funny you should ask. :( He had until 5pm today to get me something -- anything -- or be in a certain amount of official trouble. It's now 5:25. I'm such a softie that I'm giving him until 6 before I actually input the grade into the system...

I love it when that happens. Hopefully, inspiration will strike for me: mine seem rather serious and I'd decided beforehand to be frivolous. But perhaps it might be fun if I force them to do what I want.

OMG. Come on you idiot. NOT you, obviously! You are giving him every chance over and beyond the call of all duty. And I would like him to turn up at the eleventh hour...

Oh, me too! I keep refreshing my work e-mail...

That might be fun! And sometimes the unexpected takes on the prompts are the most fun to read as well?

I take it there was no last minute e-mail appearance... :(

Sadly, no. :(

I submitted his grade as an "Incomplete," which means he can still recover if he gets some work to me within the designated period. But now the clock is ticking; partly I'm hoping that having something a little more official than my finger-wagging will have a salutary effect!
