Happy Birthday, Verdenia! (and me!)
Happy Birthday, dear verdenia!! I'm so glad that I met you through my fic (or so I believe it happened!) and that I was able to stay with you in SF this summer during my wild cross-country trip. That we share a birthday is so much fun!!
Thanks to eldritchhobbit for the gorgeous card and virtual cupcake, to sexyscholar for your heartwarming card and gift, and to evannichols for the virtual b'day fireworks!! Looking forward to the burgers later today!
I come bringing a couple of gifts. In hobbit-fashion, I like to give gifts on my birthday, so I have two drabbles for the recent and current birthday folks on my list who requested them: one's for snottygrrl, whose natal day was the 13th, and the other is for verdenia who shares my birthday today! wolfiekins, I will write yours, too, but I wanted to go ahead and get these out first. They're both birthday-centric, just turned out that way.
Title: Not Forgotten
Rating: PG-13 (innuendo)
Pairing: Frodo/Pippin
"I really shouldn't be upset," Pippin mused under his breath. But he was. It was expected to have a fire and good food on one's birthday, but he felt lonely and unremembered, so unnecessary in Rivendell.
"Pippin."
At hearing Frodo's voice, Pippin's heart swelled, and he quickly put down his drink. Frodo walked purposefully toward him, his expression animated, cradling Pippin's jaw before leaning in for a kiss, warm and deep.
"You remembered!" Pippin gasped, a welcome heat stirring in his groin.
"Of course. Happy birthday," Frodo murmured, claiming Pippin's lips with unspoken words of promise of gifts to come.
For Verdenia who requested Neville and said it could be genfic or not, another birthday-centric drabble. This is loosely set after my Ron/Remus story, Scotch Game, in which Ron and Neville were together for a time but have had an amicable breakup. Before Ron goes off to Scotland, he discovers that Neville has begun seeing Oliver Wood.

Pairing: Neville/Oliver
Rating: PG
"Does Harry really send you seeds every year for your birthday?" Oliver asked through a yawn as he and Neville folded up the tablecloth.
"Really, he does," Neville said, smiling. "And I send him an actual plant. We report in to each other at Christmas."
"About the status of your gifts?"
"No," Neville deadpanned. "About our sex lives."
"You don't!" Oliver looked alarmed, and Neville chuckled.
"No, of course not."
He drank the last of his champagne before walking over and wrapping his arms around Oliver's waist with a contented sound. "You make every day noteworthy, anyway."
"Romantic sap."
"Guilty."
Happy happy, everyone!!
