ladymirthOnce in a while, you find a fic that's warm and beautiful and unpretentiously, smoothly written. It's doesn't leave you in awe, but it does warm the cockles of your heart and leave a tear in your eye.
Title: Of Pride and Prejudices

Pairing: Teddy Lupin/ Victoire Weasley
Rating: PG
Summary: Victoire Weasley is seventeen years old, fresh from her summer vacation is Paris and feeling very grown-up now that she's going out with the best-looking boy in her year. She wasn't expecting a reality check delivered by her best friend Teddy when he takes exception to her essay on the dangers of werewolves. COMPLETE.
I am in love with the characterizations of every single person who appears in this story - OCs and all. Victoire is your typical teenage girl trying to live up to her image as the eldest child of the family, and yet struggling to overcome the usual pitfalls of growing up along the way. She's obsessed with her hair and clothes, and has all the usual insecurities of a young girl who wants to be popular, but shows her deeper nature whenever it comes to her friends and family. Teddy Lupin is a wonderful mix of the best and the worst of his parents, and it's so easy to fall in love with him as Victoire does. The chapters fly by rapidly and leaves you with the sense of having enjoyed a work that has been meticulously and lovingly crafted in every aspect.
This story is the only chaptered fic I can find by the author, although I enjoy anything she writes. Red Hair is a prequel one-shot to Pride and Prejudices that I would strongly recommend.
