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...

( The Big Reveal )

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!

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!
