Yes, you read that right: 2016. We're still wrapping up last year as we get ready for Small Gifts 2017.

Your mods apologize. We were on the verge of finishing up last January when 2017 appeared in full force and, Dementor-like, sucked all the joy out of life. (I started off joking here, but honestly, 2017 has had some very Dementor-like qualities: political chaos, natural disasters, and tragedies large and small in the news almost every day. We hope you're safe out there. Someone teach us how to cast a Patronus charm!)

But we're back this year, now posting primarily on Dreamwidth, and stronger than ever. Last year's master list appears below. Forgive us for being late!

Your mods,
Maggie and Min

2016 by the numbers: we had 36 participants and 41 gifts ranging from 350 to 26,000 words in length. One quarter of these gifts were art or art-plus-fic. Most importantly, because one of the best things about Small Gifts has always been its sense of community, we left 847 comments for each other.

As always, we made our best efforts to get the master list right, but if you find typos or mistakes, we'd warmly welcome the correction.

Enjoy last year's party? Come join us again! Sign-ups for Small Gifts 2017 are still going on. They'll end as claiming begins this Saturday, October 21, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. (That’s 8:00 a.m. in Los Angeles, 10:00 in Mexico City, 4:00 p.m. in London, 5:00 in Berlin, 7:00 in Dubai, and 11:00 p.m. in Shanghai. Australia-Pacific folks, send us an e-mail, and we'll help you out.)

With yesterday's post we wrapped up the official exchange portion of

FIC AND ART:

abyss_valkyrie wrote White Jumper for

cackling_madly
Sixth Year and Sirius finally notices his feelings for Remus when he gets a white jumper. Rated PG-13, 4500 words

FIC:

cevennes wrote Lethe and Mnemosyne for

grandilloquism
Winter ’79. Looking to get out from under the black-hole overhang of wartime, Sirius and Remus take off to play house on the Cornish moors. It goes downhill from there. Rated NC-17, 26,000 words

littlepistols wrote The Infinite Loop and Other Travails for

laroseminuit
Remus and Sirius travel back in time for a mission for the Order of the Phoenix. If only Remus and Sirius knew what, or who, they were looking for... Rated PG, 5700 words

mustntgetmy
Remus has a go at cooking a Christmas feast. Rated R, 3500 words

museinabsentia wrote All Souls Night for

rhye
Arranged marriages had gone out of fashion decades ago in all but the strictest of families. Pureblood arranged marriages were terrifyingly archaic. And just downright terrifying. Rated light R/dark PG-13, 4400 words

shaggydogstail wrote Sirius Versus the Igloo for

segundite
Remus finds himself stuck in an igloo, the Forbidden Forest, in the middle of an epic blizzard, with Sirius and no magic. Apparently they’ve been pranked by Peter. Marvellous. Rated PG-13, 3600 words

Rating:PG

Contents or warnings (highlight to view): *Um, scars, a kiss, and Remus’s scarf’s inability to stay in his designated panel :P *

Word count: N/A

Summary: Just a moment between them, inspired by

ruinsplume's prompt #1 of 'an intimate moment that shows their facial expressions.'
Notes: Title from this song of the same name by Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, as it seemed fitting :) I hope you enjoy this, RP! <3

Recipient:

dustmouth
Rating: G
Contents or warnings (highlight to view): *excessive cuteness and one unhappy (not really) cat *
Word count: ~350
Summary: Remus has been away for a few weeks. Sirius is waiting for him.
Notes: dearest N! I did promise I'd make you a little something for the bonus round since I had to cop out earlier. This little ficlet (drabblet?) is loosely connected to this, but no prior knowledge is needed and it stands alone just fine. Forgive the cheesy title. Happy new year! ♥

Happy 2017, Small Gifters!

We have one week of regular posting still to come, getting 2017 off to a good start...and perhaps a few additional BONUS GIFTS at the start of next week.

Announcing...THE 2016-2017 BONUS ROUND!

Want to create one more thing this year? Want to say "happy new year!" to someone? Feeling inspired?

Every year at small gifts, we wrap up with a BONUS ROUND in early January. Create something and submit to the queue by 11:59 p.m. your time, Saturday, January 7, and we'll post all bonus extras early next week. The fine print:

* You can nab any of the prompts from this year's sign up post, OR you can remix something you enjoyed during this year's exchange (touch base with the original author or artist to ask permission!), OR you can create something of your own.

* Gifts can be any length (drabbles welcome!) and can be offered to an individual or to the community. No beta necessary.

* You don't need to be a participant in this year's fest to join in the bonus round! Everyone is welcome.

ART AND FIC:

dustmouth created The Trouser Incident for

kittyaugust
A series of inconsequential letters between a werewolf and his live in Dog Star. Or the one where Sirius is doing mysteriously important negotiations somewhere up north, Teddy sniffs tinsel, and Remus does his best not to burn all the toast. Work-safe

FIC:

grandilloquism wrote Romance, Prosperity, Good Fortune for

abradystrix
Sirius avoids meeting Remus' parents until he can't, then avoids that too. Somehow, it works out. Rated G, 1600 words

llaeyro wrote Two Truths and a Lie for

honest_brain
A getting together at last story. Rated NC-17, 3000 words

marc_duork wrote Love and Joy Come to You for

dustmouth
Yuletide 1979 at the Potter’s, and Remus gets caught up in yet another ‘tradition’ he’s never heard of. Rated PG-13, 2900 words

sostrata wrote A Ghostly Christmas for

brighty18
Remus, Sirius, and Harry spend their first Christmas together after Voldemort's defeat. Ghostiness ensues. Rated PG, 3900 words

cevennes.livejournal.com

Title: Lethe and Mnemosyne

Recipient:

grandilloquism
Rating: NC-17
Contents or warnings (highlight to view): *sex, drinking, smoking, close encounters of the ghostly kind*
Word count: 26,000 (forgive me)
Summary: Winter ’79. Looking to get out from under the black-hole overhang of wartime, Sirius and Remus take off to play house on the Cornish moors. It goes downhill from there.
Notes:

grandilloquism, your prompts were all amazing and I hope this works for you! Thank-yous bigger than will fit in this header to the saintly mods, to whom I literally owe my soul, and to Claudia, for my head in one piece. Happy holidays! ♥

laroseminuit
Rating: PG
Contents or warnings (highlight to view): *gratuitous “borrowing” of Cornish customs, some swearing, terrible grasp of history*
Word count: ~5,700
Summary: Remus and Sirius travel back in time for a mission for the Order of the Phoenix. If only Remus and Sirius knew what, or who, they were looking for...
Notes: Written for the prompt “time travel”, with a bit of the wild card thrown in (depending on how unexpected this character's presence is, I suppose). Thanks to the mods for their patience, understanding, and running this fest again and again! And a huge thank you to by beta

brighty18, whose insight was invaluable. That said, any mistakes or wonkiness left are mine. The idea of Montol is a real Cornish custom, just moved it to Rowling's fictional town. I hope you enjoy this

laroseminuit!!

And rounding up Week 4:

FIC:

bearshorty wrote Christmas in July for

huldrejenta
Being stuck and lying low at Remus’ place is testing all of Sirius’ patience. But a magic snow globe, ice skating and a glimpse of a past life might just help Sirius see his predicament in a new way. Rated PG, 2800 words

huldrejenta wrote Let's Play Together for

nerak_rose
The way Remus remembers it, their old band used to be quite awful. The way Sirius remembers it, they were a huge success. Maybe they're both right. Rated G, 2400 words

mustntgetmy wrote Show Me What It Could Be Like for

abyss_valkyrie
Unbeknownst to any of his friends, Remus has been writing M/M erotica for a living. But naturally, it's impossible for this kind of secret to be kept for very long - especially from Sirius. Rated R, 4400 words

oh_peccadillo wrote Concomitant for

cevennes
a lie low in Los Angeles, oneiromancy Rated R, 1960 words

rhye wrote The Bachelor Professors for

Small Gifters, as you may have noticed, we're taking a brief posting hiatus this weekend. We'll be back with our regular daily posts on Monday, December 26.

For those of you celebrating one of the holidays this weekend, enjoy!

And to everyone: we have all been so delighted with your gifts so far. Happy Small Gifts season! We'll have a good ten days of posting or so when we return.

Peace and joy,
Min and Maggie

Rating: Light R/Dark PG-13
Contents or warnings (highlight to view): *Blood, Coerced Magical Marriage *
Word count: ~4400
Summary: Arranged marriages had gone out of fashion decades ago in all but the strictest of families. Pureblood arranged marriages were terrifyingly archaic. And just downright terrifying.
Notes: Happy holidays, Rhye! I did my best to tackle your request for a dark Samhain ritual, but I fear it may have gone a touch fluffy towards the end. Also, so many thanks to

sostrata and

little_werewolf for the amazing, speedy, incredibly helpful beta work. This fic wouldn't be nearly as good without you!

Rating: G
Contents or warnings (highlight to view): *illegible handwriting*
Word count: several, terribly handwritten ones
Summary: A series of inconsequential letters between a werewolf and his live in Dog Star. Or the one where Sirius is doing mysteriously important negotiations somewhere up north, Teddy sniffs tinsel, and Remus does his best not to burn all the toast.
Notes: kittyaugust, you asked for so many wonderful things, it was my sincere pleasure in having a crack at it! I did mean to be terribly impressive and organised, and to have actually decent looking handwriting in their letters back and forth. But- well it ended up looking like this haha. I do hope you can read it! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!!
