This was a photo finish folks, with each of the two most popular fics pulling ahead, then the other one got another vote. But, by a nose, the favourite mistful fic is:

ETA: NEWSFLASH. Two late votes just came in under the wire, and I've decided to add them.

Underwater Light

... with 15 16 votes.

Flame And Shadow is right behind, with 13 14 votes.

ETA2: Yep. That's pretty much how it's been.

I'm learning some things here. I honestly thought I was in the minority for loving Flame And Shadow, so it's a real surprise to find it ran such a close second behind Underwater Light. I've also learned of the existence of the Badgering series, which I must now read. *grins.*

The authors love this even more. It's telling them avenues they've pursued that have worked (and they maybe should continue to explore, eh?). Sometimes you get a lot of reviews for a story because it was rec'd a lot, but you can't tell how they stack up against each other.

I would have never guessed In Academia would run such a close second to Civil War that one vote almost tipped the balance -- but it was too late.

Me too!

So, it's all good, and you are indeed clever.

Dude. Clearly Draco is holding me the hell back.
It is all about the boobies, yo.
also, I am terrifically and secretly amused, and nobody but me will know why.
I love this, it's fabulous. Will definitely be checking by to vote on others.

Because it was written for the Slashers Do Het challenge?

Oh no, it wasn't. Different reason. *sly look*

*Icarus squirms with curiosity, but has run out of ideas.*

Um. Because you said that Ron could never be a romantic lead -?

Nooo.
Hee. All will be revealed. One day.
Or like, I'll leave fandom, and nobody will EVER know.
