icmezzo_archiveNow that the 
hd_fan_fair's Career Fair reveals have gone up, I'll go ahead and post my story as I'm still too sick (*sniffle**cough**sniffle**whine**cough!sniffle*) to be writing at the moment. In any case, if you haven't read it already, I'd be delighted to share my work with you. I often hate my stories by the time they post--they've usually driven me mad by then--but this one is so light and fun that I couldn't be angry at it, even after the 37th hour of editing. I really did enjoy writing this one, I'm still smiling about it now, and I hope you enjoy reading it.
It's dedicated to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
evening12, of course, as it was her prompt that made my imagination take flight. (If it was ever on solid ground to begin with, I'm not sure.) The ghosts were actually inspired by a discussion that was held at my house when firethesound and zeitgeistic visited last summer right as the prompts went up for the fest. I'm not sure they'll remember it, but I'll thank them for that regardless. The plants...well...those are dedicated to the many gardens I've had over the years, big and small, whether I've been their to harvest them in the fall or not. (I move way too often. smh.) They make me happy--no small bit of magic right there.
And, of course, I have a feast of riches when it comes to betas, Brit-pickers, and other support. Endless gratitude to the talented, amazing (underlined thrice) women who helped bring out the very best in this story. Thank you for your thoughtful editing, dearestlettered, arcadianmaggie, omi_ohmy, sapphirescribe, and twilightmundi (it boggles my mind to even type out that list). I honestly couldn’t wish for anyone but you. [shooting star emoji]
And if you've actually read all of the above, know that the actual story isn't that much longer. Well. Sort-of. It's a quick 27k, I promise. :)
Title: Wish Upon a Star (As Dreamers Do)
Prompt Number: # 174
Rating: R
Career Choices: Harry: Hogwarts Consultant; Draco: Wishmaker
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco (secondary Neville/Hannah, Hermione/Ron)
Warnings/Content Notes: None.
Summary: There’s plant magic and celestial magic and dark magic and the normal magic that allows Harry to use a spell to clean his socks when Myrtle’s taken up in his laundry room again. Then there are wishes, and dreams, and love, and those are even more magical still.
Word Count: ~27k
Also! Also! I would be remiss not to mention the lovely works that were created based on a few prompts that I left for the fest. You should definitely take a moment to check out the amazingly gorgeous artwork/movie by
mayfly_78, who created Like Salt and Pepper (Harry: Salt Shaker; Draco: Pepper Grinder). And then dear noeon wrote The R. Correspondence (Harry: Private Security Consultant; Draco: Manuscript Expert) for me, and well, Draco deciphers ancient manuscripts. So. Enough said right there. :D Be sure to check out others from the fest too!
