Recipient: dueltasticAuthor/Artist: ???

If pushed, he would have said that he was the kind of wizard who preferred wizards. -All that, of course, was before Minerva came along. Author's/Artist's Notes: Thanks to dueltastic for such open-ended and thought-provoking prompts. I have tried to incorporate elements of your following suggestions into this story: "non-traditional relationships, things people make work in their own ways when it's not obvious how or why it does", "eras and places we see only hints of in canon", "age differences being acknowledged", "blurry definitions" and "fluidity in gender roles and sexual orientation." Many thanks also to atdelphi for modding hp_beholder 2013! The Reluctant Phoenix(Don't forget to return to this page to leave feedback for the author!)

Fri, Apr. 25th, 2008, 04:27 pm beholder_mod: FIC and ART: 'The Problem With Memories' for alwaysasnapefan
Recipient: alwaysasnapefanAuthor: purplefluffycatArtist: purplefluffycatTitle: The Problem With Memories Rating: Fic - NC17, although much of the story rates lower. Illustration - PG-13/soft R Warnings: (Canon) character death, Illustration (embedded within the story): nudity (although no naughty bits are visible...) Pairings: Horace Slughorn/Albus Dumbledore, with background Severus Snape/Minerva McGonagall Word Count: About 20,000 Summary: Horace's relationship with Albus has never been straightforward; he has always been left at once ecstatic, confused and hurt to the bone. As the two friends become reacquainted during one of the wizarding world's most trying years, what, this time, might play out differently? How might memories of times past impact upon the future, and what secrets might come to the surface? Set during 'The Half Blood Prince.' Author's Notes: I have thoroughly enjoyed the chance to explore some of the many possibilities for this rich pairing. I hope, alwaysasnapefan, that this story pleases you - I have tried to keep a fair amount of happiness and humour here, despite the fact that the characters seemed determined to be angsty! ;-) Thanks also to the mod for such a superb and original exchange!
