beholder_mod: FIC: "Rebuilding" for synn
Recipient: synn Author: psyficTitle: Rebuilding Rating: NC-17 Pairings: Hagrid/Aberforth, Snape/Hooch (Hagerforth & Snooch? Doesn't that sound like a Wizarding Law Firm?) Word Count: ~10,300 Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * Size queens, rather a lot of spunk, frottage, wall sex, first time. There is no bestiality but it is alluded to in re: the expected canon character.* Summary: Two couples are brought together during the time of Hogwarts' rebuilding... Author's Notes: You wrote: 'I like the idea of Snape/anybody, and Harry/Hagrid is a favorite.' Well, Hagrid already had a partner for the story, but I decided to include his and Harry's friendship here. I took your Snape/anybody at face value and hope you enjoy that pairing. You also wrote: 'I like details about little everyday magic more than large rituals, I love Hogwarts itself as a location: the history imbued in it, the thought of rebuilding after the war, etc.' So I used a bit of all that and I hope it suits.

beholder_mod: FIC: "Black Knight Moves Forward" for sigune
Recipient: siguneAuthor: therealsnapeTitle: Black Knight Moves Forward Rating: PG-13 Pairings: Minerva McGonagall/Severus Snape Word Count: 9700 Summary: The Giant Wizard Chess is meant to protect the Philosopher’s Stone. But, as Severus finds out, there’s more to it than meets the eye. Author's Notes:My marvellous beta, Kelly Chambliss, made this story so much better, as always. All details on the various creatures in this story are based on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander, 2001, Obscurus Books, 18a Diagon Alley, London, in association with Arthur A. Levine Books/Scholastic Press. Without Mr. Scamander’s classic and unsurpassed work this story could not have been written. Any errors, however, remain my own. The experiment described in this story must never be attempted in a non-fictional environment. "Black Knight Moves Forward"( Don't forget to return to this post to leave feedback for the author!)

beholder_mod: ART: "Unspoken" for musamihi
Recipient: musamihiArtist: siguneTitle: UnspokenRating: G Pairing: Minerva McGonagall/Severus Snape Media: Staedtler pens, red calligraphy ink (totally inappropriate for painting), grey ecoline, Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator for the frame Warnings: incredible G-ness and utter worksafeness Summary: Between Headmaster Snape and his Deputy Headmistress, what is essential remains unspoken. Artist's Notes: One of the worst things about Harry's decision not to return to Hogwarts for his seventh year is that we only got a few minutes' confrontation between Headmaster Severus and Minerva. Augh! Here is my take on what we didn't see. I hope you like it. I had great beta-help from C. Don't blame her for anything that looks awkward - that's totally my own fault. NB: the strange thing they are sitting on is a Victorian conversation chair. ( Unspoken )
