Rare Pair Shorts

Whew! You all are amazing, because this round, you produced fifty-two gifts for the thirty-six wishlists posted. Well done! Thank you so much to those of you who participated, and those of you who made sure that everyone was able to receive at least one gift.

Beneath the cut is the masterlist, and if you notice any errors, please let us know!

We'll see you in a couple of months for the fic exchange!

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! )

At last, the moment for which you've all been waiting with crossed fingers and bated breath: THE BIG REVEAL - huzzah! We'd like to take a moment just to thank you all for your participation this round; it was a lot rougher than last year, true, but when all was said and done, we still had quite a bit of fun. (We're even rhyming, see?)

Since THE BIG REVEAL is now up, feel free to post your stories on your own journals, etc. And make sure you comment, if you haven't already, on the gift written for you! But don't stop there! Everyone (especially our fantastic pinch-hitters; thanks again, ladies and gentleman!) worked very hard to create high-quality gifts. So go forth and COMMENT, and give 'em the love they deserve.

Any feedback for us, too, about how we ran this round, etc., is always much appreciated.

But enough of us! We present to you... THE MASTERLIST! (So go see if your guesses were right. :D)

Happy Holidays! ♥

Recipient: captainpookey
Title: Closer Than You Are
Pairing: Sirius/Lily
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1645
Summary: Why did Sirius really go after Peter Pettigrew that day in November? The loss of his best friend would cut deep, but that only scratches the surface of what he's lost.
Author's Notes: captainpookey asked for the pair, as well as angst, romance, Post-Hogwarts, and James existing. I reeeally hope I encompassed all of the above. And I doubly hope you enjoy it because I'm a huge fan of yours! Much love to J and F for reading, commenting, and editing. No real warnings, other than infidelity and canon deaths.
