10 great H/G ficlets were posted this week for Round 2 at hpgw-ldws

grave-alice wrote untitled comment fic
mollywheezy wrote A Birthday Assignment
katwoman-68 wrote Turnabout is Fair Play.
r-becca wrote Brotherly Advice (Percy, Harry/Ginny)
almond-joyz wrote A Mother Knows
magstopia wrote Tritych (Harry/Ginny plus pairings for A2A and Vorkosigan Saga) Three scenes, three women, three relationships.
Northumbrian wrote The Mind of Arthur Weasley - The kitchen at the Burrow has six occupants, Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Molly and Arthur. The youngsters look nervous. Arthur suspects that they are up to something. What is going on inside... The Mind of Arthur Weasley
enchanted49 posted the Prologue of Immortal Beloved.
stmargarets updated A Time to Remember with Chapter 2 - Harry and Ginny are engaged. What could possibly go wrong?
dukebrymin updated Christmas Gifts with Chapter 4.
dukebrymin updated Birds of a Feather with Chapter 7.
magstopia updated The Golden Horn with Chapter 6 - The war is finally over and Harry is ready to get on with his life. Most importantly, he wants to pick up where he left off with Ginny. First, though, he'll have to come to terms with the possibility that Ginny might not have put her life on hold and waited by the fire for him to come back to her.
little0bird updated The First Day with Chapter 47 - The first year after the battle.

10-prompts and 100-prompts are re-opening -- Harry/Ginny is still available for claiming!
Love Neville? Signups are open at nevillebigbang.

Oldie But Goodie!
She hasn't been drawing much lately, but mudblood428's artwork will always be some of the most beautiful images of Harry/Ginny around. Browse through her fanart gallery and admire it all over again.
Editors' Picks
fic: irislock wrote Two Days at Durmstrang (Ginny/Harry, Ginny/Gellert) - Home for Christmas holidays, Ginny is called on an errand to Durmstrang. Harry doesn't want her to go. I know the pairings here may sound like a very odd mix, but TRUST ME when I say that this story is an intriguing mystery with a unique setting that still stays true to Harry/Ginny.
