May Story of the Month Nominations

How it works: 

This thread is for you to nominate your favorite stories to be recognized as the HPFT Story of the Month.  Seconding isn't necessary, as all stories will move on to the voting round. 

Mid-month [approximately 10 days after the nomination's thread is posted], a Prefect will post a voting poll for all of the stories that have been nominated. Don't worry about having to rush - you will have about 10 days to read the stories and vote for your favorite!

Winners will be announced in the News Bulletin on the first of each month. All SotM Winners will also receive a cool prize! 
 

Please post your nominations in this thread using the following format:

Title: Irrational

Warnings [if applicable]: None!
Reason for Nomination: This is the feel-good romance that we all could use a little of these days. Audrey is soft-spoken and wonderful; Percy is...perfectly Percy. Almost every chapter (except that one where they have to talk about what Percy did during the Second Wizarding War) leaves me with a stupid smile on my face. Melanie earned her title "The Weasley Whisperer" for good reason--and this story is a great showcase of her talent.

Title: Gone
Author: @Ineke

Warnings [if applicable]: NA
Reason for Nomination: Ineke writes brilliantly about the loss of Astoria and how Draco and Scorpius are dealing with it and how to respond to each other and share that comfort, even though they aren't all that great at a) revealing their emotions and b) being comfortable with sharing strong, negative emotions with each other. She honestly made me cry the first time I read this fic, and that's a huge compliment to her skill with these characters and the story overall!
