"Is something going on today?" Ron asked from the bathroom, aimlessly finger combing his hair in the mirror, attempting to thread the locks of gray among the ginger.

"Hmm – nope." Harry rolled over in the tangle of bed sheets, smirking as he watched Ron. "Nothing for us." He knew what today was, or had been, but he didn't intend to mention it.

"Just seems like there's … something." Ron meandered back to bed from the bathroom with a far off expression on his face. Harry made room, rolling onto his back while Ron climbed over him and settled comfortably on top of him.

Laying his head on the bed as if he meant to fall asleep again, Ron began to get heavier. Harry didn't mind though, he'd grown accustomed to being his body pillow.

Ron's head snapped up again. "Are you sure that there's nothing?"

"Ok. Yes!" Ron looked down at him curiously. "Eighteen years ago, today," Harry began gently. "I watched my best friend marry the bloke I fancied."

Ron tensed. "Oh. Oh, shite. Sorry, I didn't mean." He started to pull away, but Harry stilled him, clinging with all four limbs.

"No. Stay."

Harry relaxed as Ron did, rubbing his hands up over his back and down to his arse.

"I knew there was something. Never remembered back then, either."

"We're together, now." Harry leaned up to kiss his shoulder. "Free and clear."

Ron shook his head with a look of regret. Lowering his face, he breathed in the scent of Harry's neck and let out a mournful sigh against his skin. "I should have had you standing in front of me that day, instead behind me."

"That's all right. … I'm under you now." Harry arched his hips upward with a chuckle.

Ron grinned, pressing down with his own pelvis. He took Harry's hands, stretching his arms wide to the side, gently pinning him down. "I think I've an idea what to do today."

How fabulous is it that he finally remembers his anniversary??

Also, I need you to write more stuff.

*g*

There's a lamentable lack of Harry/Ron right now!

[shocolate.livejournal.com]

What we need is a major birthday....

[stillicides.livejournal.com]

Yay, starfish hug!

This was sweet and poignant, and an interesting use of that prompt. I like it.

[fics-by-maple.livejournal.com]

Starfish hug! Oooh - I like that!

[stillicides.livejournal.com]

Hehe, my ex-gf used the term to describe the kinds of hugs where she'd jump on me and just cling with all her limbs, and I have appropriated it!

[snegurochka_lee]

Aw! Haha, oh, Ron. How perfectly in-character for him. Also, yay to Harry being under him. *g*

[fics-by-maple.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you enjoyed Ron. Under him would be one of Harry's happiest places. :)

He started to pull away, but Harry stilled him, clinging with all four limbs.

that's sort of a double whammy. awwwww and rawr all at once.

[shocolate.livejournal.com]

triple whammy - 'cos they're our age, too!!

[mrsquizzical.livejournal.com]

[fics-by-maple.livejournal.com]

I just write what I would like to sit and watch myself. :D

[hpuckle.livejournal.com]

Ron is just perfect. I love this so much!

[fics-by-maple.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you!

[nakeefeet.livejournal.com]

How utterly Ron, forgetting his anniversary!

He started to pull away, but Harry stilled him, clinging with all four limbs.

Love this!

[fics-by-maple.livejournal.com]

I think he always meant to remember, it just wasn't as important to him as it would have been with Harry.

*hugs*

[hedwigs-bane.livejournal.com]

Well, that was deserving of the extra words. I can see how hard it would have been to trim it down to 100.

Ah, grey among the ginger...

Lovely. Just lovely.

[fics-by-maple.livejournal.com]

I'd started to pare it down, but decided not to bother this time.

Thank you!

[kath-ballantyne.livejournal.com]

soo beautiful. I'm glad they ended up together.

[fics-by-maple.livejournal.com]

Always, always together! One way or another. *g*

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

That was so very good I loved it XD

[fics-by-maple.livejournal.com]

Aww - thank you!

[hpaa.livejournal.com]

Argh! You need to write more...
Do you need me to help with the laundry or something, so as to free up ur schedule a bit?

[fics-by-maple.livejournal.com]

Aww - thank you!

Gracious, yes! Please come over and do my laundry! *hugs*

[hpaa.livejournal.com]

If I was closer to where you live, I would be there in a second (ok, not a second, maybe once I am off work).. but I really would!

[ms-worplesdon.livejournal.com]

Oh how delicious and sweet! :D

[fics-by-maple.livejournal.com]

*g* Thanks for much for reading!

[cyclonejuliet.livejournal.com]

Oh what lovely visuals....
sigh

[fics-by-maple.livejournal.com]

They are SO pretty together. *nods*

Thank you!

[brwouas.livejournal.com]

That was beautiful,

"We're together, now." Harry leaned up to kiss his shoulder. "Free and clear."

thank you for that wonderful fic.

'sigh' wish i could right like that.

[fics-by-maple.livejournal.com]

Aww - thanks for that. I really enjoy writing them, I always hope it clicks right with readers.

:)

[oncelikeshari.livejournal.com]

I love forgetful Ron and Harry's full body cling to him.

Yay maple!

[fics-by-maple.livejournal.com]

*g* Thanks, sunshine! I'm so glad you liked them.

[libgirl.livejournal.com]

Oh!

Ron shook his head with a look of regret. Lowering his face, he breathed in the scent of Harry's neck and let out a mournful sigh against his skin. "I should have had you standing in front of me that day, instead behind me."

"That's all right. … I'm under you now." Harry arched his hips upward with a chuckle.

Lovely. :D

I loved that Ron knew something was going on but wasn't really clear--that's very IC to me ;).

Loved that Harry was mostly okay with it and that it just reminded them to be even closer....~snuggles the boys~

[fics-by-maple.livejournal.com]

Sorry I'm late with my reply here!

This was a fun little idea for me, I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

[aniwde.livejournal.com]

Awww - so glad they got a happy ending! Loved this :)

[fics-by-maple.livejournal.com]

thank you so much for reading this!

[luvscharlie.livejournal.com]

So very in character. I love the way Ron tries to mingle the silver with ginger. I understand his pain!
