So I just spent today reading, reviewing, and judging all my entries for the Love, ______ Challenge, and I've never been happier to just sit back and enjoy your stories in my life. Every single one of them gave me so many feelings, and I just wanted to thank each and every one of you who entered. Reading all these beautiful, or happy-ending, or creative (or all three!) stories about queer couples made me happier than you can imagine. 

A quick reminder about the prizes! (I'm going to be leaving a lot of reviews this next week. )

• Third Place: 3 reviews on a story of your choice; prize graphic

I received seven beautiful entries, and I'm going to list them all for you (in order of submission) with little blurbs in case they interest you! I highly, highly recommend reading through all of them; they are certain to make you smile and make you giddy with excitement.

Two Months (M) by @Levana -- Maggie used JKR's brief mention of Cho marrying a Muggle and created an adorable meet-cute story from that. This entire story was so fluffy and sweet, and the best part for me was, I didn't have to stress out at all about conflict. Two Months is a joyous ride from beginning to end, and though there are of course ups and downs, your heart will almost certainly be warm throughout.

Summer Rains by @VaguelyCreativeName -- In this one-shot, Julia took a rarepair (Lavender/Padma) and breathed life into the pairing. From the beautiful, lush descriptions of the Patil's grandparents' home to the adorable, sweet banter between Lavender and Padma (with Parvati's teasing thrown in), this story flows so naturally and progresses so beautifully that I couldn't help but smile while reading.

Little White Lies by @magnifique -- What I love about this multi-chap is the sense of mystery that it provides as to the motives of one peculiar Beatrice Wood. The main character is Molly II, and from the very beginning, her lies are told and this intriguing story is set up. Julie does such a wonderful job writing likable characters, from OCs to canon Next Gen characters, and I had so much fun reading this!

We, Lawbreaking Citizens (M) by @Rumpelstiltskin -- This is one of the most original ideas I have ever come across while reading both published works and fics. Rumpels created such a wonderful, detailed world with such a unique plot, and the further you read, the more pieces will slowly click into place, until every new paragraph brings a lightbulb to light in your mind. We, Lawbreaking Citizens is just so creative.

Slow Love by @TheGoldenKneazle -- The discussion of questioning identity in this adorable piece, as well as the slow progression between Scorpius and James's relationship, was so well done. Lottie handled this rarepair masterfully, and both characters are so well fleshed-out with their own unique hobbies and interests. I loved getting to see Scorpius and James become closer and closer in this story, and I'm sure you will too.

Of Bookshelves and Baby Carriers (M) by @poppunkpadfoot -- Kayla put Wolfstar in a Muggle AU setting, and this adorable, hilarious, quirky short story came out of it. Her depictions of baby Harry are the absolute cutest, to the point where I was just clutching my heart at some of the child's antics while reading. Please read this one if you want to smile yourself silly; it's just that amusing and that well-written.

Marigolds by @Unwritten Curse -- Gina managed to take Marietta Edgecombe's point of view and turn it into a poetic piece of art. Getting to read her pretty words and also the wonderful, wonderful relationship between Marietta and Cho felt so fulfilling. I really enjoyed reading this one.

Now, onto the winners!
