"You Bring the Floats, I'll Bring the Confetti" by Lynnmonster (PG)
Fandom: WILBY WONDERFUL
Pairing: Duck MacDonald / Dan Jarvis

Why this must be read:
I love this short story because it takes a throwaway line about parades from the movie and expands it into a whole, sweet future for Duck and Dan. We also get wonderful glimpses of how the rest of the town has grown and changed as well which is just the icing on the cake. I particularly love how Duck and Dan have grown so comfortable and quiet with each other. Their ease with each other speaks of long, loving years together and the future we all hope for them.
"You're having fun, aren't you," Dan said.
"I like picnics. And birthdays."
Dan cupped the back of Duck's neck and squeezed briefly. "Okay, I'm ready. Let's go," he said, and let his hand slide away, skating slowly over Duck's shoulder.
"Now you're making me want to get out of here as soon as possible," Duck said. Dan just smiled at him and stood, grabbing the used plates and cups. Duck levered himself up off the ground with one hand and walked with Dan back to the main party.
