Slythindor

Okay...first off I need to apologize to everyone for falling off the face of the earth as mod here. There are some things going on in my family-life that have me tied in knots and obviously quite forgetful.

I completely forgot to post the challenge after the Halloween one. So with that in mind - here is the next challenge. It's a two-part challenge.

1) Select one of the four pictures under the cut to use in your story.

2) Your story must incorporate the word thankful.

Congratulations to unbroken_halo and oldenuf2nb for completing the Halloween challenge and writing 8 different drabbles or fics for the 8 photos posted.

Since only 2 entered...I'm awarding a prize to you each. Watch for a PM with your options.

Thanks to everyone who wrote for the challenge.

The next challenge will be up shortly.

Title: The Nature of Love
Rating: G
Word Count: 137
Challenge: #113 This picture and the word jealous or territorial:



Warnings: None but a bit of schmoop
A/N: Thanks to alisanne for her help and the title.

The Nature of Love

Ron watched Harry and Draco from across the room. It was still hard for him to believe they'd been married for five years. He was still waiting for a sign, something that would tell him this was all a mistake.

Instead, he saw Draco shielding Harry from the press, answering their questions with cultured ease. What he didn't expect to see was Harry becoming jealous when a reporter attempted to flirt with Draco.

When Harry grasped Draco's arse in possessive grab, Ron chuckled to see Draco simply reach back and remove Harry's hand. The look they gave each other spoke volumes. It was full of love and trust and understanding.

Ron finally understood. Love wasn't only based on what had happened in your past, but on how willing you were to work with someone towards your future.

Challenge: Written for slythindor100's Challenge #111 – Birthday Boy and for hd_365 and is in that universe.
Warnings: It's me...it's Harry's birthday...you do the math.
A/N: Eternal gratitude to oldenuf2nb for helping out my tired brain and to eeyore9990 for the speedy beta and the title.

( Surprise, Surprise! )

First the confession. Challenge #111 is late because I kept hoping I would find time to write something for challenge #110. Well...it's not going to happen - so here is the new challenge.

Challenge #111 is for Harry's birthday and is "Birthday Boy".

Interpret anyway you chose and have fun.

This challenge runs until: August 1st

I'm finally here with challenge #110

away from home


Interpret it any way you chose - use it in your fic or as the theme. Up to you. I'm leaving Thurs am for SanFran...be nice while I'm gone and write.

Title: Coming Home

Word Count: 405
Warnings: None really
Challenge: Written for Challenge #109 – I chose this picture:

A/N: Thanks to absynthedrinker for the advice, the title and for the laughs and special thanks to oldenuf2nb for refusing to believe I couldn't make this work. This piece is a sequel to A Quiet Conversation - which really needs to be read first (it's only 300 words) so this makes sense.
