Rating: PG
Pairings: Poppy Pomfrey/Minerva McGonagall
Word Count: ~ 3,5 k
Medium:
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *None*.
Summary: Poppy hadn’t expected to find someone this late in life, but she was far from complaining.
Author's/Artist's Notes: I have never written either of those characters as the main focus of a fic before, let alone that pairing, and it was interesting as well as enjoyable. It probably wouldn’t hurt to know Minerva’s secondary canon for this fic as I used it quite a bit. Otherwise it sticks to canon as much as possible and takes place mostly during OotP. Many thanks go to W for beta’ing and cheerleading and to the mods for running this! I really hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it, thisaestus!

Title: Face on by Daylight
Rating: PG
Pairings: Minerva McGonagall / Poppy Pomfrey
Word Count: ~2,700
Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): *None*.
Summary: It takes more than four Stunners to the chest to take down Minerva McGonagall.
Author's Notes: Bits of dialog from JKR's Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix were lifted for the making of this story and are presented in bold type. I tried to incorporate therealsnape's likes for teacher fic, missing moments from canon, canon re-told with a twist, Minerva McGonagall, and women being awesome in the gift.

Summary: The checklist for dealing with Death Eater attacks has been drilled into every Ministry employee: wand; family; escape routes.
Author's Notes: I wasn't sure what kind of gift you'd like, lash_larue, so I took a gamble by writing about one of the minor characters I find most intriguing. I really hope you enjoy it! Many thanks to my beta for whipping this into shape; all remaining errors are my own.

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.

Summary: After the final battle at Hogwarts, Madam Pomfrey cares for a patient who is neither dead nor alive
Author's Notes: shadowycat, you were asking for a story where things generally go well for the characters involved. I hope I didn't make it too angsty for your taste. But as the story is set after Deathly Hallows, I had to make them suffer for a little while first.

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!
