Nominees: Title: The One With the Technical Difficulties Author: @aurevoir Link to Story: here+ Warnings [if applicable]: N/A Reason for Nomination: Y'all. You have to stop being biased against Dramione as a pairing, especially because Cassie is undoubtedly one of the best writers I've ever had the pleasure of reading and her stories are so freaking good. This one is no exception! It's cute and in-character and so well paced. Draco and Hermione's banter and bickering and sheer freaking chemistry are stunning. Everything about this story is so well done. You gotta read it. You just gotta. Title: A Night on the Town Author: @Professor McGonagall Link to Story: +here Warnings [if applicable]: Sexual Content Reason for Nomination: What started out as a glib discussion based entirely on a random comedic line from the HBP film turned into... a frankly beautiful interpretation of a supporting character who hardly ever gets written as a main, let alone a romantic lead. McG thoughtfully and unironically channels Horace Slughorn's affected grandiosity into a delightfully campy setting and narrative that actually makes a ton of sense for his character, and the prose is lovely. Once you read Horace as a young gay man in the early 20th century who can really only be himself in underground London clubs -- and whose romance with a colleague is sadly over before it really even has a chance to begin -- you might have a hard time imagining him any other way. (And that Three Broomsticks scene in HBP will never, ever be the same.)
