10 Years of Snarry - ART: Unbound by Gravity (Snape/Harry, R, repost)
What better way to celebrate Snarry than a repost of my most ambitious Snarry Games art?

Title: Unbound by Gravity
Artist: swtalmnd
Team: Romance (FTW!)
Genre(s): Fanon
Rating/Warnings/Kinks: NWS, R -- Drag mouse over space if you wish to know: * underwater 69, fish voyeurism *
Artist's Notes/Thank yous/Fanfiction used: Many thanks to dementordelta for letting me use her fic The World As It Is for my inspiration. Thanks also to my whole team, especially lizardspots, for encouragement and beta help!
Media used: Oil paints on 30"x40" canvas
Archiving/Usage permission: WTP and snarry_games Tribute Video OK, all others ask.

They tumbled, spinning, unbound by gravity, licking, tasting, sucking more, carried adrift between air and light and the seductive sway of fronds and the skittish play of brightly colored fish.

	I remember being in awe of this the first time I saw it. I still am. You rock! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks! I was always happy that I took the time and effort to make a real painting at least once for the Games. g (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I remember this. Very pretty. I love all the sea-life ... and the sea-love :-) (Reply to this) (Thread)

Oh, yes! This is just as beautiful as when I saw it the first time. I remember loving the little fish nibbling Severus' toes. "The World As It Is" is one of my favorites by Delta, and this captures her beautiful scene perfectly. I love it when artists illustrate their own interpretation of a scene from an excellent fic--it's one big, happy Snarry family! Thanks for reposting this!

	Thank you! All the little lake life around them was fun, since the Giant Squid in canon gave me the freedom to put whatever I wanted in the lake, including toe-nibbling tropical fish. ;) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I remember seeing this - and promptly losing it again. My very favorite part, after Sev and Harry, is the oh-so-brave little fishie nibbling on Sev's toes! :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thanks! I guess Snape's toesies just looked tasty (and hey, now you've found it, so yay 10th anniversary!) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Still as gorgeous as ever. I recently re-read the fic and remembered this wonderful piece when I got to that point. Awesome. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you! I haven't re-read the fic in a while, I really should, it's so lovely. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I can't help but think that they look like a human starfish, together like that. And how do starfish reproduce? :3 Unconventionally! :))) Thank you for sharing this with us! :) (Reply to this) (Thread)
