Buried Gems 08-2020
Sometimes time flies by way too fast. At least, that was my thought when I noticed for how long I had neglected the Buried Gems. However, as you can see, I haven't forgotten about them.
The today's Buried Gem is a one-shot written in 2005 and nominated by Melindaleo with the following words: This is the Ginny who lives in my head. Fiery, spunky, but with a complete understanding of the bigger picture. She does what's right over what's easy, much like Harry does. I loved the glimpses of their shared humor, something I always noticed in canon, and I was so thrilled to read something after HBP that didn't have Ginny screeching at Harry. They're both trying to suppress their own feelings to do what's right, not make it harder on the other, but their feelings just won't be contained. It's just a feel good story.
Summary: Ginny couldn't believe it. Here she was, walking down the aisle in this pale-gold, puffy-sleeved monstrosity, an absolute wreck of nerves at the idea of seeing him again for the first time, having no idea how to behave, and the git was laughing at her. If she had her wand she might hex him. Instead Ginny did the only thing she could, she rolled her eyes, blushed fiercely and started laughing with him.
Enjoy reading!

The "I Love You" Challenge reminder
Just how did Harry and Ginny say "I love you" for the first time - was it a blurt it out spur of the moment thing, or was it romantic? Who said it first - did Harry sieze the day like when he kissed her for the first time, or did Ginny make the first move? You have a little under 4 weeks left to tell us about it as the challenge closes midnight 15th September.

Happy Birthday Harry, Happy Birthday Joanne
We here at Sink Into Your Eyes would like to wish J.K. Rowling, as well as Harry Potter himself, a very happy birthday.
Due to the current situation (covid-19), Harry had to cancelled the big party for his 40th birthday, to which he had invited all his friends. The birthday party with his family takes place in an unknown location, presumably the Burrow.
Summary: Harry and Ginny are at the top of their games, but something's missing. What would they sacrifice to make their dreams come true?
It's a story about Harry and Ginny wanting the dreams of the other to come true, and it takes them a while to realize that what the other is really dreaming of is something completely different.

Buried Gems 06-2020
This month's Buried Gem was nominated by DannyS717. It's been written by someone who's pretty well know for some of his other, much longer stories.
The today's Buried Gem is the Ages trilogy by Sovran, consisting of the stories Ages, Months, and Years.
Summary: In a few moments and a few lifetimes, Harry and Ginny decide who they are and who they will not be.
According to DannyS717, Ages was one of the most unique takes on the 'twins time travel' challenge, with a subtle mystery that's not made explicit in the story. Months is a solid follow-up, showing how Harry and Ginny respond in the immediate aftermath and the start of their relationship. The third story, Years, beautifully deals with Harry and Ginny addressing how different the alternate universe the 'twins' came from was.

The nominated stories should have been published on SIYE in 2012 or earlier, and they should be completed.

The summer after his godfather’s death was the worst in Harry’s life for many reasons. An event so horrifying takes place causing him to question if he should even go on, but in the end all it takes is Faith to pull through and find the good in the dark.
This story is based on ‘The Unknown Light’ by Someryn and the idea was used with her permission. This is about rape and the aftermath so do not read if the subject matter offends or upsets you. There is no slash and Ginny is not raped.
