HP Beholder

Here's the third Monday Fic and Art Round-Up for HP Beholder

And folks, I know how hard it is to keep up with Fest reading/viewing, especially after the initial burst of first-week enthusiasm has passed, but some extremely good work is being posted, and it would be sad if those stories languished unseen (I say 'stories' because even short fic is slightly more of a time commitment than art).

Pairings: Petunia Dursley/Vernon Dursley, Augusta Longbottom/Frank Longbottom Sr., Minerva McGonagall/Aberforth Dumbledore
Word Count: 24,700

Author's Notes: Lyras, you asked for character studies, women kicking ass, plot, characters who aren't black or white, 'fade to black' rather than PWP, UST, working around canon, angst with hope. I tried to squeeze in as many of your requests as possible. Hope you enjoy!
Bonus points for everyone who spots the obscure crossover.

Title: A Fish May Marry a Bird
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Severus Snape/Firenze
Word Count: 8,800
Warnings:comedic wanking, oral, slash, sex between different orders of Magical Brethren, serious money shot and, also, this is very, very dirty.

Author's/Artist's Notes: Many thanks to H, for reading and picking, and to D, who beat and kicked this so thoroughly -- despite finding a previously unknown area of squickedness -- that I took all her suggestions and improved it by 38%.
Bloopfish, the "pretty"and the "ugly"were reversed here by necessity, but I hope to good effect. I couldn't do Harry, either, sorry. And the kinks are all mine. Oh, forget it, don't even read it.
