My fic recs (1 of ??)
I'm totally going out of order of comments left, but I'm tackling thimble_kiss's three requests because I instantly had answers for them.
Your favourite light-hearted 'shippy read?
I don't tend to write things that are considered "light hearted." I really went through a heavy angst phase from 2010-2012. It wasn't intentional, but it was just something I gravitated to. I had a harder time writing happy things, but this one -- this story -- makes me very happy. It's funny and fluffy and comes with a healthy does of Christmas love. I wrote this for elle_blessing for my 2010 Christmas drabble meme (haven't done one of those in a while...), and I still love it almost five years later.
And now that I'm looking back at the master post, I'm realizing I never completed that meme. OOPS. *adds to my To Do list*
Title: Christmas Cheer
Characters: Seamus Finnigan/Pansy Parkinson
Rating: G
Word Count: 860
Summary: Seamus' enthusiasm for the holidays serves as a source of irritation for Pansy.
Author’s Notes: This was written as part of my 2010 Christmas Drabble Meme. elle_blessing requested Seamus/Pansy with the prompt "snow." While this isn't a sequel to Cultural Differences, the two do somewhat tie in with one another. Elle, I hope you like this! Merry Christmas, hun! *SMOOSH*

Your favourite Bill/Fleur fic?
Ohhhhhhh, that one's a tough one. I'm torn between two -- one I'm very proud of because (at the time), it was the longest story I'd ever written. And I do love Don't Blink, which was written for the (now seemingly defunct) hp_canon_fest, but I think this one will have to take the top spot. I wrote it as a pinch hit for the inaugural bill_ficathon. I offered to pinch hit on the off-chance someone wanted a Bill/Fleur story (it was a long time ago, but I remember there weren't many requests for that pairing in the sign-ups), and luvscharlie just happened to have a recipient in need of a story.
Title: How to Woo A Veela in Five Simple Steps (Or How Bill Weasley Met His Match)
Characters: Bill Weasley/Fleur Delacour
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 3,841
Summary: A bored Bill Weasley is never fun for anyone. Luckily, Gringotts’ newest employee provides an interesting distraction.
Author’s notes: This was written for xohxmhxjonas as part of the 2011 bill_ficathon. Many, many thanks to my wonderful beta, fiery_flamingo.

A story of yours that just makes you happy when you think of it.
Ooof. That's a loaded one. There are a lot of stories that made me smile, but I'm going to go with the one that came to mind first -- and then wouldn't leave me alone, sort of like the leading male in this particular fic. Annoying how that works out. This features two of my favorite things to write: epistolary/dialogue-only fic, and a rare pair. I wrote this for hp_diversity's Mini Prompt fest in 2012, and it was just so much fun. :)
Title: This Is Not A Love Story
Characters: Zacharias Smith/Parvati Patil
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~2,200
Summary: Theirs is a relationship built on many things: loathing, disdain, and a complete lack of journalistic integrity. This is not your mother's love story.
Author’s Notes: This was written as part of hp_diversity's Mini-Prompt Fest. I had a blast writing this, and to whoever left this fun prompt: thank you!
