[rarepairs_mod]

Hey everyone! Posting for the 2009-2010 Winter Fic Exchange will being in just a moment. :)

But first, we just want to say thank you to all our lovely participants! ♥ We hope you all had loads of fun! :D We're especially grateful for everyone's cooperation with our new extension policy -- it seemed to work really well. Only a few people dropped out, which makes us very happy mods indeed. Thanks for keeping in touch with us throughout your writing process!

And of course thank you to our fabulous pinch-hitters, you're the best! ♥

Finally, we very much appreciate your patience throughout this fic exchange. This was the first time us mods have had to organize this exchange whilst being on opposite ends of the country, so it took some getting used to. We sincerely apologize for the delays!


NOW. Time to get down to business! :)
We're going to be posting two fics a day. We have over 30 fics to post, so PLEASE wait until AFTER the reveal to start posting your fics around everywhere. The reveal will take place two days after posting ends.

Enjoy the fics, and REMEMBER TO READ AND REVIEW!

Fic for fictitious_burn

[rarepairs_mod]

Author: bk03
Recipient: fictitious_burn
Title: Best Thing You’ve Ever Had
Pairing: Harry Potter/Megan Jones
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 1094
Summary: After work, Harry and Megan unwind over a game of pool and a little bet.
Author's Notes: I know this pairing was low on your preference rankings, but it was the one I thought I could do the best with. Plus, once I saw the phrase “I could’ve been the best thing you’ve ever had”, this pretty much wrote itself out in my head. I hope you like it. Thanks to my accountant for the beta work.

Fic for briony_tallis

[rarepairs_mod]

Author: purelush
Recipient: briony_tallis
Title: Hopeful Hearts
Pairing: Angelina/Katie, Parvati/Lavender
Rating: R
Word Count: 1,980
Summary: Two women care for their best friends after the war.
Author's Notes: Title and lyrics are from Sarah Slean's 'Hopeful Hearts'. Katie's memory disintegration is based on a working memory disorder, not Alzheimer's. I don't know anything about Alzheimer's, so I just wanted to clarify that. Many thanks to my beta T for her help! briony_tallis, I hope you enjoy this: it's a bit angstier than I'm used to writing but I wanted to attempt some UST for you. Also, two pairings, yay!
