[Professor Albus Dumbledore]

Admin Note: We decided to do something a little different this time around. As you know, we request that the previous OTM winners select their successors. Well, we got three awesome suggestions for two great threads and we just couldn’t pick! And so, we have two excellent threads for you to take a peek at as selected by your peers.

never say that you loved me
featuring Rabastan Lestrange and Khai Statton

Three words. Oh. My. God. This thread actually brought tears to my eyes. Not only is Rabhai one of the cutest couples I’ve ever seen in my life, but they did something no one has ever seen before. You don’t really ever expect to see anything bad about Rab and Khai’s relationship. They always seem like the couple who can actually have a happy ending. They may have a lot going on in their lives, but Rab and Khai always found a way back to each other, because they were meant to be. Engaged to be married, all that jazz. And then, the unspeakable happens. Rab hits her. Not only was this one of the most well written threads I’ve ever read in my life, but it was real. It was only a matter of time before Rab let some of that dark side of him out in front of Khai. I never thought he’d do something like that to Khai. His fiancé. It really showed the human side to these characters, and even though they make up in the end, the readers can really see their emotions. Abbie and Izzy blew us all away with this thread, and I’ve voted it favorite thread for one specific reason. Everyone makes mistakes, but if two people really love each other, they can make it through anything.

chemicals c o l l i d e
featuring Sirius Black, Alice Logan and Marlene McKinnon

Okay, that thread made me cry like eight times. I’m also an incredibly emotional person but mercy. i mean. the Alice-Sirius-Marls love triangle is genius! Alice is so emotional always and marls is...well, i mean, she's marls, and she wants her man and then there's Sirius who's just so confused and gosh, i loved reading every single on of those posts in that thread. And even though I’m pretty sure it's not even done, it's genius. those posts are like so, so, so long, and it's such great writing on behalf of Kabby, Fiefy and Skar. Oh? And Sirius and Marls are finally together. Thank Merlin. And they love each other. And I love happy endings and even though it isn't quite time for Alice's happy ending, Marls and Sirius are happy and that makes me happy. I. Love. This. Thread.
