August 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 nominations 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:

[Unwritten Curse]

Title: a dream you can touch

Author: @something wicked

Link: https://archive.hpfanfictalk.com/viewstory.php?sid=3431&ageconsent=ok&warning=3

Advisories: Substance Abuse

Reason for Nomination: This is a beautiful story for so many reasons. It follows Percy (P) as she comes out as trans to her family, and how her family adapts and changes as a result. With the help of Lucy, P explores her femininity and becomes more confident in expressing herself. The prose is stunning and the second person point of view gives this story a sense of tenderness and immediacy. It is raw and real but ultimately hopeful. If you haven’t read this, you are in for a genuinely moving experience.

Title: Good Luck Lantern

Warnings: Sexual content 
Reason for Nomination: This is an endearing series of microfiction about Cho Chang. Despite the super short chapters, the little slice of life scenes give you a vivid and heartwarming sense of her character and family beginning with her childhood. The microfiction format is like looking at snapshots from each year of her life.
