June 2023 Monthly Poll Winner (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone! By a sizeable margin, the poll winner for this month is: Harry/Fleur - After Bill leaves on a mission, Fleur realises that she made a mistake choosing him. She decides to rekindle a secret romance.
Here is the extended prompt:
After Fleur arrives at the Weasleys, her fiancé, Bill, seemingly abandons her at the Burrow to either go back to (Egypt or on a mission for the order). Dealing with the constant passive aggressiveness of Molly and Ginny as well as the constant drooling and lecherous gazes of Ron, Fleur thinks back to the Triwizard tournament and regrets a choice she made. Having been in a secret relationship with Harry since the night of the Yule Ball until the end of the year, when she decided the distance and age would ultimately be too much and ended their relationship despite her instincts telling her not to. When Harry arrives at the Burrow, all of her feelings suddenly return in full force upon seeing a more grown up Harry who treats her kindly being the friend she didn’t know she desperately needed. She decides to do anything she can to win him back regardless of the consequences.
Keep a lookout for this story at the end of the month! Thank you to everyone who voted and submitted your prompts!
Update June 22: Hey all! I've been unexpectedly inspired by this prompt. Normally when I sit down to write, I do 2-3k words at a time (most chapters are in the 4-6k range). Well, I wrote a little under 7k words in one sitting today and haven't even covered half of what I wanted to with this story. So, I think I'm going to turn this into a 3-part (or more) story. Part 1 (this first 7k word batch) will be out on the 30th, and the subsequent parts will be out early next month. This will definitely mess with my usual schedule a bit, but it's something I really want to write, so I think it's worth it. Hopefully all of you aren't too upset I'm changing this from a one-shot to a mini series!
Anyway, thanks for the prompt, Robert!
