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!

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...

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.

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...

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!
