Under the wide, wide sky

Merry Christmas!

Here's a little epilogue for you. I've really enjoyed writing this, and will miss these boys. Thank you to everyone who read along as I posted! I will probably have a bit of a read through myself and tidy this up, then repost on AO3 etc.

I've been thinking about the title: how about 'Twenty-four Reasons to Remember'? Or is that lame? (No idea).

Enjoy your day, whatever it brings. <3

Summary: Harry has almost forgotten what it is to be happy in love and life, until Draco gives him twenty-four chances to remember.
Word count (this part): ~600 (and the whole fic came in at 17,600 - woohoo for writing little bits in the middle of the night!)

Happy Christmas Eve! <3

I stayed up far too late last night. I wrapped presents, then wrote this at 4am. Today is going to be fueled by caffeine and adrenaline. Anyway, enjoy this little update, and there will be another one tonight. I'm still determined to finish this on time! (ish)

Sorry about my absence. My son was ill, all he wanted was his mummy (certainly not any of that nasty medicine that might actually make him feel better, no matter how it was presented/disguised), and Mummy definitely wasn't allowed to ever open her laptop. I spent three days knitting myself a hat and watching children's TV. And I learned that sleeping on the tiled kitchen floor is not as bad as it sounds and can be very cooling when you have a fever. So, that's something.

And then I spent the next few days catching up on all the things I'd had to leave undone while I sat with him. As this is the week leading up to Christmas, this involved a lot of rushing around and stressing. I have fallen so far behind with my reading and my writing, but I'm going to try as hard as I can to catch up with both over the next week or so.

I had hoped to catch up entirely before posting, but I will have to do it in stages, so I hope you enjoy days 12-14, with days 15-16, and then 17 and 18-20 to follow. I would like to finish this by Christmas Eve, but being realisitic it might be a little late. That said, I will try!

Unfortunately, titles don't usually come to me until I finish writing a fic, so this may end up bearing the current lame-ass working title until it's done. Originally my working title was 'Stupid, Useless Words', which I felt was a tad too negative for an advent fic. Er, any suggestions on postcard, please! Or in a comment below. Although I may still waver until it's done, because I'm like that.

Um, just ignore all the typos. It's late.

I had a bit of rubbish day today, somewhat saved by a gentle feeling of peace this evening. My moods might be a little reflected in today's offering...

I had to wait all day for a chance to write, and technically it's Monday now... But for me, and Harry, it still feels like Sunday night.

Hello there! I've had a bit of a break from LJ recently but I'm back. And, er, somewhat coincidentally I finally submitted my erised. *coughs* *waves at everyone*

I've decided to write an advent fic this year. I haven't posted a WIP in ages, but er, I think it's manageable (and some is already written, thank goodnes!) It's a non-fluffy tale of heartache, love and Christmas cheer.

I won't post every day - the story itself will explain why, but there will be 24 parts of varying length to read by the time Christmas day rolls up. And it's going to be unbetaed, as I will probably only finish writing each section about five seconds before I hit 'post'! I will probably return to tidy it it all up at some point, so if you notice any glaring errors please feel free to send me a pm. If I get ahead of myself with the writing (I do have it all planned out) I will see if my betas have time to help out, but as Christmas approaches I think that the answer will be 'no'. They already think I'm mad for doing this in the first place. :D


Um, I have spent an hour on coming up with a title and still nothing. I will think of one, promise.
