I am stepping up my game and getting graphic! Today's statistics from the rarepair_shorts Winter 2010/2011 fic exchange (master list here) include an actual visual aid. Ooh, aah! Now you know you're curious. See it (and the rest of the stats) under the cut.

( In which shorter is better... )

And some favorites from the recent rarepair_shorts Winter 2009/2010 fic exchange. The master list is here.

Dream a Little Dream by kellychambliss . PG-13. Twisted and dark, but I don't usually like this genre, and I did enjoy this one. Creepy yet believable. Is it all a figment of George's drug-riddled imagination, or is it real?

Percy Weasley and the Clue of Four by shadowings . PG-13. The summary says it all perfectly: In which Percy is oblivious, Oliver is obvious, and Mrs. Malfoy is facetious. Just a lot of fun and cleverness.

Percy Weasley’s Guide to Proper Spectator Etiquette by peskywhistpaw . PG. More Percy/Oliver humour and cluelessness.

The More I See You by orpheus_samhain . PG-13. Pansy is a very clever, capable, and self-assured woman, and Bill is always one step behind her. Maybe that's just where he wants to be.

Author's Notes: This was written for ceirdwenfc for the rarepair_shorts 2009/2010 exchange. You can find it also posted over there. Super mega thank-you to Totoffle for the fabulous beta and Britpick! This takes place in the summer of 2015. It may seem at first that it is not epilogue-compliant, but if you do the math, it all works out! Yay! Also, Caelum is in fact the Latin name of a constellation. Fun how it sounds Celtic, though. ^_^
