Title: The Aftermath
Rating: PG-13
Pairings: Charity/Hermione, Dudley/Neville, Pomona/Minerva
Word Count: 3770 words
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *canon character death, fanon character survival*.
Summary: In the days after the Battle for Hogwarts, there was much healing work to be done. Fortunately all of creation was helping
Author's/Artist's Notes: Dear Songquake, I hope with all my heart that this amuses you. When you mentioned Charity surviving, a whole cascade of head-canon came flowing in, and this asked to be written. The inspiration for Dudley’s perhaps unlikely appearance comes from this artwork: http://dudley-redeemed.livejournal.com/18651.html
Many, many thanks and blessings to my kind and thoughtful betas MBR & K.

Title: Fallow Fields
Rating: R
Pairings: Pomona Sprout/Severus Snape, other Hogwarts staff, Cedric Diggory
Word Count: ~20K
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *[Angst, h/c, first time, oral (both), frottage, plain old fucking]*.
Summary: Series of behind-the-scenes moments between Pomona, Severus & a few others
Author's Notes: There are two birthdates provided for Pomona Sprout in canon, one being 15 May 1931 as well as 15 May 1941. For the purposes of this fic, I chose the latter. I used a mix of book, film and Pottermore canon for this fic, most especially for certain revelations re: Professor McGonagall. Also, I admit this (NSFW!) bit of art might have inspired me just a tad for one scene.... Happy Beholding, shadowycat!

Title: Sunlight in the Garden
Rating: (very light) R
Pairings: Pomona Sprout/Alice Longbottom
Word Count: 4,300 words
Medium: Fic
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *References to the emotional fallout of the attack on the Longbottoms; references to memory loss*.

Author's/Artist's Notes: Dear _hannelore, it was such a pleasure to explore Pomona as a character, and I really hope you enjoy this! Thanks go to T, A and S for beta-reading. The title is, obviously, inspired by Louis MacNeice's beautiful poem, The Sunlight on the Garden.

Title: (Im)Proper Conduct
Rating: PG-13
Pairings: Pomona Sprout/Irma Pince
Word Count: 1350
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * A bit fluffy.*
Summary: It is the scent of her that clings to the air: warm, and earthy; dirt and skin and the faintest sheen of prickling sweat that draws Irma back to life on this night, in this moment.
Author's Notes: thank you, bethbethbeth for putting up with me; and to alwaysasnapefan for your lovely request. I haven't quite managed to get the adult content up and running in this fic, but I hope you still enjoy it ♥

Title: Fair Is Fair, and Life Is Not (Though Tea Helps an Awful Lot) Rating: R
Pairings: Filius Flitwick/Pomona Sprout
Word Count: 4,894 words
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *No warnings apply.*
Summary: Although their students might sometimes be oblivious to it, teachers have lives, too. Fertilized with dung and watered with tea, Filius Flitwick and Pomona Sprout cultivate a love slowly bubbling along behind the scenes.
Author's Notes: Particular thanks to bethbethbeth who runs the best fest in fandom and puts up with me. Filius uses a few quotes in this fic. I've marked them out in italics and single quotation marks. The first is by James Joyce, the second is by Marcel Proust, and the third is from Rudyard Kipling's poem, "Ode, Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance, 1934."

Rating: PG
Pairings: Poppy Pomfrey/Pomona Sprout
Word Count: 3,500
Warnings: None
Summary: Poppy has known Pomona Sprout since her Hogwart's days. And she just keeps falling in love with the woman.
Author's Notes: noeon, you wrote that you were interested in gen fic featuring Poppy or Pomona and something about seeing those names together spoke to me. This is a look at different moments in their lives together. With love to Jackie, who is not a part of fandom, but who is always happy to beta my work, as long as there are no dirty bits.

Title: Zinnia and Honeysuckle
Rating: um. R?
Pairings: Hooch/Sprout // Hooch/Neville (if you squint)
Word Count: ~1,200
Warnings: Featured Character Death.
Summary: Muggle plants bloom out of season in the wizarding world. They flourish and wither at the whim of magical energies, a barometer of wizard emotions.
Author's/Artist's Notes: Delphi, I’d wanted to give you something more smutty and less serious, ideally without the /see warnings/, but I’m pretty much a captive to my muse; where she goes, I must follow. I started this intending to incorporate a lot of your likes, but I’m afraid many of them got lost along the way, so I’m hoping you enjoy it anyway.
This story uses references to Victorian flower language. A key to flowers mentioned (where not given in the text) is at the end. All meanings pulled from this website.

Title: Nurturing One of Our Own
Rating: PG-13 for partial nipple
Pairings: Poppy Pomfrey, Minerva McGonagall, Sybil Trelawney, Rolanda Hooch, Pomona Sprout, and Irma Pince.
Warnings: none
Media: construction paper collage, watercolor, ink, charcoal, plus a couple digital touch-ups
Summary: Poppy Pomfrey is always taking care of the Hogwarts inhabitants. So several of the female Hogwarts staff decided it was time she was cared for with a group massage!
Artist's Notes: I decided to go for an expressionist style, since there's some emotional energy in the idea behind it. Each woman is painted in colors associated with her personality or her field. Poppy is pink, McGonagall is her red/green plaid, Trelawney is purple, Hooch is yellow, Sprout is green, and Pince is blue. I had a good time making this and doing a fun colorful interpretation. I like the idea of the women of Hogwarts nurturing each other emotionally and physically. I hope you do, too!
