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.
If you like this story, make sure to give Strider's other stories a try. You can find them on his user profile page.

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.

This challenge sees the return of an old favourite. So little is told of Harry and Ginny's relationship in the books after their first kiss, so the question that I have for you is just when did they first say those three little words?
The categories for judging are Best Overall, Most Romantic, Most Unexpected, and the People's Choice Award. All stories should be submitted by midnight 15th September and the winners will be announced on 1st October.
Multi chaptered stories must be completed and all stories should be submitted under the 2020-2 challenge sub-category.
