Rare Pair Shorts

At long, long last, we have reached the Big Reveal! As with every year, thank you so much for your participation and patience. An enormous thank you and round of applause to all because, as we mentioned earlier, no one dropped out! Huzzah!

Please feel free to crosspost your fics wherever you'd like, and don't forget to comment on the stories if you haven't already. As always, if you spot any mistakes, please point them out; we also appreciate general feedback on the exchange.

And with that...

TTFN, friends. :)

Here we are, ladies and gentlemen – the Big Reveal! Thank you so much to everyone for your patience and participation. A huge thank you as well to our awesome pinch-hitters! This round was a little bumpy, so we're ever so grateful to you all for bearing with us.

Now that the Big Reveal has been posted, feel free to claim your fics and cross-post them to your own journals. But DON'T FORGET to go and COMMENT on everyone else's fics! We had wonderful entries this year, as always, even though quite a few of you were forced outside of your comfort zones, but unfortunately there haven't been many comments. So go show your fellow participants some love!

If you find any mistakes, please point them out. We would also appreciate any feedback about this round of the exchange in general.


We'd also like to congratulate briony_tallis for having the most correct guesses in our Guess Who Wrote What poll, with five correct guesses. Here's a little something for you -- way to go! :D

And now... drum roll please!

( Ta da! )

Wow, that's a mouthful, isn't it? Anyway, sorry to keep everyone waiting for the masterlist. We've been neglecting our modly duties lately.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this event. The turnout was a bit less than last year's... out of the fifty-seven or so who asked for pairings, nineteen fics were produced. But that's okay! It was still a lot of fun.

Remember to go through and leave many lovely comments on the fics!

And also, we are still accepting entries, for all you stragglers. :)

( The Masterlist... )

And for those of you wondering about this year's winter fic exchange, well, we're running a bit late, but stay tuned for the next few days.

The deadline has passed for the Summer 2009 Wishlist Event, so it's about time to post the masterlist, don't you think?

This round has been amazing, everyone! Forty-one wishlists, and eighty fics! Wow! You've all really outdone yourselves! And we are of course very happy that everyone received at least one gift.

If you are currently working on any last-minute fics for the event, feel free to post them within the next week or so, and we will add to the masterlist. And don't forget to comment on the gifts you received!

If you see any errors, please do point them out; and we love general feedback, so don't hesitate to comment!

Summary: There was something in his gaze, something hidden in those impossible eyes, that was special. It was like the smell of rotting corpses, the sharp glint of metal against skin, and roses all in one, and it was just for her.
Author's Notes: Many thanks to my betas, P and T. Slightly inspired by ‘Versions of Violence’ by Alanis Morissette. Enjoy!
