Hello dearest patrons! The barkeeps at The Three Broomsticks are delighted to announce the return of Yule Bash (with a twist)! This year the fest will take a slightly different form - The Twelve Days of Yule Bash! ❄️🎄🥂 Join us in celebrating the 2023 holiday season with 12 days of fanworks inspired by the Christmassy, wintry prompts listed below. You can use one (or three, or ten) to write fanfics, create fanart, post moodboards… the sky’s the limit here! 

From December 11th through 22nd, we’ll reblog any works posted for The Twelve Days of Yule Bash. The rules are simple: 

Use at least one (1) of the prompts in your submission. You’re more than welcome to use multiple prompts in a single submission. 

Fanfic writers, we ask that your fics be a minimum of 300 words. No word limit for maximum word count. Note: fics must also be canon compliant as TTB is first and foremost a canon-compliant fanfic server.

Kindly only post your work between December 11th and 22nd. You do not need to submit them to our blog, however. Simply post them on your own blog and tag us! 

Tag @thethreebroomsticksfic if you’re posting on Tumblr. You can also submit to our AO3 collection here. 

If you have any questions about the fest, feel free to ask a question here, or message any of the mods! ( @hinnyfied @lanaturnergetup @solongdaisymayy @merlinsbudgiesmugglers @incalculablepower )

We look forward to seeing everyone’s work this festive season!

For Day 2 of @thethreebroomsticksfic 12 Days of Yule Bash, I've done a little Romione celebrating Christmas in Australia mood board. One of my HCs is that Hermione's parents stay in Australia after they get their memories back, so the Granger-Weasley's have Christmas down under ever other year.

Sip of solace 🥃

Ron and George strengthen their bond over a few glasses of Firewhisky, opening up about things they’ve never shared with anyone before.

“What about a drink, ickle Ronniekins? I‘m not letting you sit in this bloody piece of orange shit feeling sorry for yourself.”

Ron scowled, his guard slowly crumbling. “I wasn’t feeling sorry for myself!”

“If self-pity was a game, mate, you’d be better at it than you are at chess,” George teased, standing up and extending a hand toward Ron. “Come on, little bro.”

Sparkling Blue Christmas

Just over a year ago, my first ever Tedromeda fic got posted for @thethreebroomsticksfic Yule Bash. So it only seemed right that my first fic of this years Twelve Days of Yule Bash was a Tedromeda fic.

It's short, it's fluffy, and if you squint it fits the prompt (Blue Christmas)😉

Snippet:

The warm sun beat down on Andromeda's skin. She rubbed her feet together, brushing off the sand that had dried there. It was her first overseas trip since before she had walked away from her family and never looked back, all those years ago. She should be relaxing, enjoying the first overseas holiday she and Ted had ever taken together. But her mind wouldn't stop turning over. She looked at her husband, stretched out beside her, his skin turning golden in the sun.

‘Are we bad parents?’

Ted turned to watch her, his eyes hidden beneath his sunglasses, but after eighteen years together, she knew exactly how he would be looking at her. 

‘Dora asked to stay at Hogwarts this year. It's her N.E.W.T year.’

‘I know. But what if something happens? What if she needs us?’

Ted turned to his side and propped himself up on his elbow. ‘Professor Sprout has all of the details on how to contact us. If anything goes wrong we’re three quick apparitions away from Hogsmeade.’

It's All About the Yearning

Day 3 of @thethreebroomsticksfic Twelve Days of Yule Bash! Today was inspired by the prompts Auld Land Syne and New Year's Kiss.

A recently dumped Teddy Lupin is fully prepared to spend his New Year's Eve alone.

Thankfully Vic is there to keep him from wallowing too much.

Snippet:

‘Gee Teddy, got enough room out here with all your friends?’

Teddy couldn’t help the way his mood lifted at the sight of Victoire’s strawberry blonde head as she scrambled through his window. Once she was on the roof, she straightened up with a flick of her hair and proudly held out a bottle of pilfered champagne for his inspection.

‘What are you doing here? I thought you were at Sarah Anderson’s.’

Vic shrugged as she settled next to him. ‘It was all just people trying to find someone to snog at midnight while getting drunk on cheap booze.’ She skillfully opened the bottle of champagne with a smart pop and took a swig before handing it to Teddy.

‘So you decided to come here and steal Nan’s instead?’

Victoire took the bottle from Teddy with a roll of her eyes. ‘You know Mama always says Andromeda is the only Englishwoman she has ever met with good taste in wine,’ she said before taking a long swig of her own.

This week has been completely crazy so I haven't done nearly as much for @thethreebroomsticksfic 12 Days of Yule Bash as I would have liked. BUT! I did get this Christmas at The Burrow moodboard done.
