Today is the Day

[rarepairs_mod]

Hello everyone! We hope you're all enjoying your winter holidays! Posting for the fic exchange is going to begin for a few minutes, but we'd like to say a few words first.

Even though there were a couple of rough spots and misunderstandings along the way, we are so, so grateful that all of you came through in the end. Nobody dropped out... or dropped off the face of the Earth. You're amazing for that.

Five or six fics will be posted today, and the rest will be posted tomorrow. We have eleven gifts in total, and it's Christmas, so we figured it would be best to do the posting quickly.

Beta-reader names will be hidden until the reveal.

Thanks again for such a great exchange! This was our first time running something like this, and you all made it a great experience.

So, happy holidays everyone, and enjoy your gifts! The masterlist and name reveal should be up in a couple of days after posting is done.

Recipient: royalty25
Title: Art Critic
Characters/Pairing: Blaise Zabini/Michael Corner (mentioned Terry Boot/Anthony Goldstein)
