Thanks to everyone for being a part of this year's festivities! With one final bonus fic, Small Gifts 2013 draws to a close. (And your errant mod Maggie offers you an apology for her belated gift.)

We posted 42 gifts this year (four pieces of art, one podfic, and 37 fics), the work of 36 different authors and artists. We saw our first podfic this year (yay!), dipped our toes into tumblr, and opened up a Small Gifts collection over at Archive of Our Own.

Thanks to our artists and authors, who proved that there are thousands more ~~tails~~ tales to tell about these two.

Commenters, reccers, betas, and cheerleaders, we love you! Your feedback keeps us all going.

A happy, happy 2013 to all!

Your mods,
Maggie, Mindabbles, and Sambethe

Word count: 1800
Summary: How long a honeymoon do you get when you’ve come back from the dead?
Notes: A thank you gift for pinch-hitter

rosemaryandrue and a coda to her charming story The Unlikely Survivors’ Club. Really, if you’ve only got time for one fic, you should read that one instead. But if you’re forging ahead here, they key thing to know about this universe is that Tonks and Emmeline have survived, and after the war ended Sirius "got better" and rejoined them. Remus, dead and buried for a while, is the latest addition to the Bloody Lucky Bastards’ Brigade. Oh, and there’s a secondary pairing, Nymphadora Tonks/Emmeline Vance. And Teddy, of course.

( The problem with gay wizards, Emmeline said darkly, is that they are still wizards. )

Summary: It's been a bad end to a bad day, but with some help from his friends, Remus can believe that the New Year might get off to a fine beginning.
Notes: Thank you for taking on a pinch hit, in addition to everything else. Thank you for being a wonderful, kind, and efficient co-mod and wizard with spreadsheets. I looked back at a couple of old sign ups and nabbed 'life in war time' and 'boys in love' from, I think 2007. Hope you enjoy.

We still have a few more bonus fics to post this weekend, but a few reminders as the fest draws to a close:

* We are still collecting recs if anyone has recommended a small gift in their journal or in another community. We send links to gifts with three or more recs to the Daily Snitch to be included in their Hot Recs section. Thus far quite a few gifts have two recs and are awaiting a third, if that inspires you to stretch you reccing fingers...

* You can add your gifts to our 2012 Small Gifts Collection over at Archive of Our Own/AO3. If you're unfamiliar with AO3 or want to get started archiving there, let us know.

* Finally, be sure to thank the person who gave you a gift!

Posting break

We're going to take a posting break for the next two days to give everyone a chance to catch up reading and, for those of us celebrating, to enjoy the holiday and the long weekend. We'll be back with our final week of gifts on Wednesday.

Still coming up: BONUS ROUND!

Every year we have a quick bonus round in the first few days of January. Want to experiment with a prompt you didn't claim the first time around? Want to write a thank you ficlet for someone? All bonus gifts are accepted, from drabbles and drawbles on up. Bonus gifts must be submitted in 2012 (by 11:59p Eastern US time, December 31) and will be posted on January 1, 2, and 3. We'll wrap up the fest and post our master list on January 4.

Week 4 round up

Take a break over the next few days, catch up on last week's gifts, and leave some love for these wonderful stories!

Rating: PG
Contents or warnings (highlight to view): *None*
Word count: 2998
Summary:In which Sirius Black destroys baby monitors, Nymphadora Tonks is still a disaster in the kitchen, and they're only missing one person to make a perfect Christmas. Secondary pairing Nymphadora Tonks/Emmeline Vance
Notes: AU in which Tonks and Emmeline Vance survive and Sirius comes back about a year after the Battle of Hogwarts. Everybody else who died in canon is still dead. Many thanks are due to

adistantsun, creator of amazing podfics, without whose help this would be a very wobbly thing.

The following gifts were posted here last week:

pppopcorn wrote Winter Butterbeer for

heytheremeranda
Sirius was afraid that he'd ruin Remus' holiday and decided not to spend the holiday with him... Rated G, 1100 words

shutupeccles wrote Remorse for

cackling_madly
Padfoot eavesdrops because he’s worried about Moony. Inefficient spell casting garbles the communication and Padfoot’s overreacts. Padfoot is certain he’s blown any chance of convincing Moony’s parents he isn’t an utter twat, or of becoming more than a friend to Moony, after that whole Snape-in-the-Shrieking-Shack debacle. A bout of un-Black behaviour puts things to rights. Wormtail and Prongs provide moral support and comic relief as good friends should. Rated PG-13, 1900 words

brighty18 wrote The Frog Pimp: A Tale of Bad Portkeys, Ill-advised Comments, and Christmas Cheer for

fullmoon_dreams
Peter makes a dodgy portkey, Remus and Sirius insult a series of fictional characters, and everyone nearly misses Christmas. Rated R, 3700 words

calico_lupin wrote Tangles of yarn – a story in three parts for

nathaniel_hp
As plentiful and as odd as Sirius's hobbies have been over the years, Remus has to admit he didn't see this one coming. Rated PG, 2600 words

mutuisanimis wrote Dear Santa for

kingzgurl
Remus, Sirius, and Teddy write letters to Santa. Rated G, 2200 words

damascened wrote A Tragedy (in Seven Parts of a Duck Egg Quiche) for

dustmouth
A recipe for a quiche in guise of a pirate AU. Rated PG, 1150 words

labelleetlabete wrote All the World's a Stage for

liseuse
London, 1606. The Marauders are members of Shakespeare’s acting troupe. Four scenes of varying length. Rated NC-17, 7600 words

labelleetlabete
Rating: PG-13
Contents or warnings (highlight to view): *references to music and the UK Punk scene in the 1970's, a teeny bit of gore, boys being boneheaded, fighting, rough kissing, frottage*
Word count: 2744
Summary: Remus couldn't say no to his mates and their latest adventure, especially when Sirius was looking at him like that…
Notes: A huge thanks to the mods, who were infinitely patient with me, as always, and run one of the best fests in this fandom. Also thanks to

brighty18 for her lightening-fast beta, sharp eye and encouragement. Any mistakes are my own inability to leave well enough alone.

labelleetlabete, I know you wanted something "filled with the arrogance and invincibility of youth", and I'm not sure I got there but I hope I came close. Hope this works for you:) Happy Holidays!
Though my initial inspiration was that scene in The Perks of Being a Wallflower (you know, that scene, with that song), I owe as much inspiration to The Sex Pistols… and Taylor Swift (strange combination, I know…)

( We're happy free confused and lonely in the best way… )
