Title: Tradition
Author/Artist: csichick
Pairing(s): Percy Weasley/Oliver Wood
Prompt: Any pairing, your choice. Couple has been together a long time. Each year, they make sure to at some point acquire one special new ornament (and they write the year on it), so by now they have 20, 30, 40 of these "Year Ornaments." I'd like to see the two of them together decorating the tree, as they take out each of these Year Ornaments and reminisce about how each one was acquired. Bonus points for a highly unusual ornament, or one that was acquired in a strange or unusual way.
