With the conclusion of this year's round, it's also time to turn the page and say goodbye to this fest. It's been a wonderful five years! A huge thank you to everyone who participated, either by creating audio fanworks or listening to them.

Title: Welcome, Peasants Author: @fluxweeed Reader: @lastontheboat Pairing: Harry Potter / Draco Malfoy / Ron Weasley Rating: E Length: 1 hour 32 minutes

Summary: Ron was doing Draco a favour by agreeing to investigate him. Better Ron than someone who’d plant something horrific to get Draco sent to Azkaban—or some pervy Potter fanatic who’d spend the whole hour sniffing the dirty clothes on Harry’s bedroom floor. Even though Ron had to take Polyjuice and break into their flat to do it, Harry and Draco would understand. They’d appreciate it.

And if Ron had done more “investigating” and less “snogging his best friend while Polyjuiced as said best friend’s secret boyfriend”, maybe it would have all been fine.

Title: Tired Author: Mireille Reader: @blue--dreaming Pairing: Percy Weasley / Oliver Wood Rating: T Length: 7 minutes 51 seconds

Summary: There are things Percy can't afford to let himself think about.

Title: Comfort Author: RottenPleasures Reader: @wilfriede Pairing: Narcissa Black Malfoy / Lily Evans Potter Rating: M Length: 6 minutes 42 seconds

Summary: It’s been a month since Lily and her son were chased out of their house by a nightly intruder. Things are better now with their new house with Narcissa and Draco.

Until Lily notices an open bag of crisps.

Title: Lauma Author: WoodenSuitcase Reader: @emethefallen Pairing: Sirius Black & Remus Lupin & Peter Pettigrew & James Potter Rating: G Length: 16.5 minutes Language: Finnish

Summary: ALKUPERÄINEN KUVAUS: Täysikuu on lähellä, ja sillä on vaikutuksensa Remuksen mielentilaan.

Title: Project

Author: nocturn

Reader: J0305

Pairing: Fleur Delacour / Bellatrix Black Lestrange

Rating: T

Summary: She wakes tied to Bellatrix’s favorite green high-backed chair.

Title: The Curious Case of Remus John Lupin Author: ixiedust Reader: @itsaash Pairing: Sirius Black / Remus Lupin Rating: E Length: 1.5 hours
