marguerite_26This is the first of my Holiday Gift posts. Giftees were given the choice of a recipe, a drabble or a custom rec. TBH, I had no idea how a ‘custom rec’ was going to work or if anyone would actually want such a thing as a ‘gift’, and oddly enough it was the most popular choice of gift. So... lets’ give this a try!
A little bit about the custom recs you will be seeing... I’ve taken into account the request and what I know of the giftee. With these custom recs, I did everything I could to pick fics that the giftee has not read (ie: checked through all the comments for giftee’s name). Now I’m just going to cross my fingers that this all works out. :)
Life’s disappointments are harder to take when you don’t know any swear words
Author/Artist:lotus_lizzy
Characters: Charlie and Scorpius
Rating: PG
Warnings: mostly gen with a wee bit of angst (a little heartbreak before joy always makes it that much sweeter), and a whiff of pre-slash
Summary:A child’s imagination can be a wonderful thing, but it is often forgotten in favour of growing up.
Word Count: ~11,500
All holiday gifts come from the requests in this post.

The request for this rec was A really good, not-too-long character study for Harry, Draco, or one of the next gen characters. I choose this one because it’s a gen fic that really is all about Scorpius and not about his progression to a HEA with someone else. It’s his rocky journey to adulthood, the friendships, adventure and heartache along the way. It’s also a wonderful tale of a child’s imagination and just how little we adults understand how critical such an escape can be sometimes. I hope you enjoy it. Happy holidays,
