I know I usually post flowers for birthday wishes, but this time of year is always notable for brilliant sunrises which I've always viewed as hopeful, uplifting beginnings. Goodness knows we all need some uplifting during these difficult days. May you have the happiest of birthdays, my friend, and a wonderful safe, healthy, and happy year to come!
This was my piece for this year's hoggywartyxmas. It's not a pairing I've tried before but it was fun to do.
Title: My Charlie Weasley Christmas Artist:shadowycat Recipient:articcat621 Rating: G Medium: colored pencil on paper Characters: Neville Longbottom and Charlie Weasley
Summary: "Charlie told me that a Weasley Christmas would be chaotic but fun, and he was absolutely right! The Weasleys celebrate with so much talking, food, laughter, and energy! It was a bit overwhelming at first because it's so very different from the way my family celebrates. I really loved it, though. In fact, I can't remember the last time I enjoyed myself so much. Of course, just being able to spend the day with Charlie was the real joy..."
Warnings: None Disclaimer: Not mine. Artist's Notes: I combined my recipient's prompts "Opening Christmas crackers" and "His first Weasley Christmas" and this was the result.
Now that the holiday fests have wrapped and the reveals have happened, I'm posting my contribution to mini_fest in my journal. This is the first fic I've written in a long while, and it made me realize how much I've missed writing. :D
