So I've been remiss in talking about the 2018 holiday fests in which I participated, perhaps because for the first time I missed a few. :(

Alas, I started but didn't manage to finish fics for mini_fest and snape_potter's Secret Snarry Swap. (I plan to finish those eventually, so don't count them out yet).

I did, however, manage something for hd_erised (thank goodness, since titti had to sign me up for me to get in in the first place!) and for the always awesome hoggywartyxmas.

For Erised I wrote: The Campaign for huldrejenta, with which I had a lot of fun, thanks to their fabulous prompts. *g*
Also, I received the hilariously sweet Because Cats from icmezzo, which I adored. Go read it now if you haven't already. :)

For Hoggywarty I wrote Second Chances for lash_larue, my first stab at Minerva/Aurora. *g* In addition, I got Snarry art from my dear friend shadowycat in the form of the glorious An Enchanted Evening. *happy sigh*

Reposts will be up in a few, but if you're bored and need something to read right now, I direct you to either fest for some truly stellar content. And, as always, if you find something you enjoy, do leave the creator some love, yes? We all crave feedback. <3

Title: How to Give Socks and Influence Elves (and Pretty Professors)
Author: alisanne
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~8680
Characters and/or Pairings: Severus/Hermione, Minerva, Lucius, Narcissa, Harry/Draco, OCs.
Summary: When Professor Granger decides the Hogwarts house-elves deserve Christmas presents, it somehow ends up being Severus’ job to make it happen.
Warnings: None.
Disclaimer: Nothing you recognize is mine. It all belongs to the clever Scottish lady.
Author's Notes: Written for the 2017 hoggywartyxmas fest as a gift for my dear friend shiv5468. She gave many inspiring prompts to work with, but the one that called to me was: The house-elves want to know why they don't get presents from Santa, someone has to explain. This may involve socks.
Thank you to my beta readers, sevfan and emynn, to my Britpicker, smallhobbit, and to the fabulous moderator. <3

You guys, I got an art gift at hoggywartyxmas!

Do go and check out Under the Mistletoe, which features Severus and Aurora Sinistra catching each other, well, under the mistletoe. *g*

Another of the fests I participated in, hoggywartyxmas, has posted their reveals, and so I can now admit to the story I wrote for them, and once again point to my FABULOUS gift.

I wrote Hiring Defence Against the Dark Arts Teachers and Other Unforgivable Acts for the incredible sigune, and I was bowled over by the wonderful reception it got. ♥

In addition, the amazing gingertart50 wrote a fabulous fic for me. A Term of Endearment It's...awesome, and I have already recced it, so if you haven't yet read it you have no excuse. The whole thing is wonderful and it even ends with Snarry! <3

I'll be reposting my fic in a few, but before that I wanted to talk about the fest. Because I have ~thoughts.
