atdelphi: FIC: "Colour to a Sunset Sky" for cuorefreddo
Recipient: cuorefreddoAuthor/Artist: ??? Title: Colour to a Sunset Sky Rating: NC-17 Pairings: Oliver Wood/Gregory Goyle, brief mention of past Oliver Wood/Harry Potter and suggestion of Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy Word Count: ~5,600 Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * Character death (not Gregory or Oliver), mild Angst, some violence, hurt/comfort*. Summary: Oliver would watch him sometimes, recognising him vaguely, like an old memory which had gone fuzzy around the edges with the passing of time. A story of a fragile and unlikely friendship which grows into something more. Author's/Artist's Notes: I have never written either of these characters before so I had to take a lot of time researching the snippets we can glean from canon, which was such a fun exercise. For the purposes of the fic I have departed from canon and assumed the Dementors are still guarding Azkaban post Deathly Hallows, although this was unlikely to be the case. The title is loosely adapted from the Rabindranath Tagore quote “Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add colour to my sunset sky.” Thank you to V for cheerleading and support and to A for the beta read.

atdelphi: FIC: "The Cat and the Parasol" for fluffyllama
Recipient: fluffyllamaAuthor/Artist: ??? Title: The Cat and the Parasol Rating: NC-17 Pairings: Sybill Trelawney/Minerva McGonagall Word Count: ~8063 Medium: Words. Lots of words, but perhaps not so many as others are using. Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * Sex (oral, digital, magical) between the main characters. *. Summary: Sybill Trelawney adjusts to her appointment as Hogwarts' Divination Professor. Author's Notes: * Did you know there's regional variation in how the name "Sybill" is spelled? As in, there's one in the UK and another in the US. Since this is a gift, I took fluffyllama's lead and used the spelling from her sign-up. * fluffyllama, I hope you enjoy this bit of insight into a relationship that features sex without "Twoo Wuv" and a relationship that "shouldn't work but somehow [does] against all the odds." * Thank you to the squad of lightning-fast beta readers who looked this over after the last minute had long passed: A, R, and W. You are absolute lifesavers. Any remaining mistakes are my own. * And thank you, once more, to atdelphi, who has gone above and beyond her duty in coping with me. Thank you for hosting this fest, and not kicking me out on my arse weeks ago. ( The Cat and the Parasol )

atdelphi: ART: "Constant Vigilance" and "More Than Skin Deep" for ragdoll
Recipient: ragdollArtist: ??? Title: Constant Vigilance Rating: NC-17 Pairings: Sybill Trelawney/ Alastor Moody Medium: Pencil on Paper Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * "none"*. Summary: Sybill entertains a guest and Alastor finds that, once again, constant vigilance pays off. Artist's Notes: I was thinking of this as a sort of dance of the seven veils, though with Sybill I imagine it was more likely a dance of the four veils, two shawls, and a bath towel. ;P Regardless, I'm thinking that Alastor really enjoyed himself, and I hope you like it, too, ragdoll! ( Constant Vigilance )Recipient: ragdollArtist: ??? Title: More Than Skin Deep Rating: R Pairings: Nymphadora Tonks/ Alastor Moody Medium: Pencil on Paper Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * "none"*. Summary: Beauty, like supreme dominion is but supported by opinion. ~Benjamin Franklin Author's/Artist's Notes: I figure that a woman who can change her appearance as easily as she changes her socks knows that everything that really matters is more than skin deep. I hope you like this, ragdoll, I had a great time drawing it for you! ( More Than Skin Deep )

atdelphi: FIC: "The Spirit Is Willing (And the Flesh Is Weak) for nothorse
Recipient: nothorseAuthor/Artist: ??? Title: The Spirit Is Willing (And The Flesh Is Weak) Rating: NC-17 Pairings: Neville Longbottom/Millicent Bulstrode, Neville Longbottom/Millicent Bulstrode/Moaning Myrtle Word Count: ~5215 Warnings/Content Information (Highlight to View): * [threesome, polyamoury, ghost sex]*. Summary: Neville is elated when Millicent gets a position at Hogwarts so they can finally be together. However, with a jealous Myrtle on his hands, their relationship may not have a ghost of a chance. Author's Notes: Dear nothorse, this may be the oddest pairing I’ve ever written, so you've only got yourself to blame. You gave me a lot of free rein to do what I wanted, but I loved the idea of characters settling into adult life and romance, at least the living, breathing ones, so there's that plus polyamoury and a little bit of fluff. Thank you so much for the prompts! I hope you like it! Thanks to my dearest S. for all the betaing and brilliant suggestions, and for keeping me going when I wasn’t sure if I should. And my undying gratitude to our fantabulous mod atdelphi for putting together such a fantastic fest, and for being so patient with me. ( The Spirit Is Willing (And The Flesh Is Weak) )

Summary: Albus thought that he was a non-running member of the human race when it came to romantic relationships. 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."

Summary: Yaxley liked his women a special way, but there was something special with her, something that changed him. Author's/Artist's Notes: I must apologise to my recipient because this might not be exactly what you had in mind, it’s not even what I had in mind. The obsession isn’t exactly as I wanted it to be, but hopefully you’ll like it. Although I didn't describe Yaxley as much as I should, his voice rang through my head every time he spoke.

bethbethbeth: ART: "The Language of Birds" for o_k_go
Recipient: O_K_GO Artist: didodikaliTitle: The Language of Birds Rating: NC-17 Pairings: Marcus/Ginny. Summary: Art. I stuck some text on this here art as texture/frame, vaguely hoping that O_K_GO might like a bit of typography as well as art. Some of it was intentionally made to be quite unreadable, but BBB quite reasonably suggested that many people may want to know what the unreadable text actually says. So here is the text PDF version, as well as a (slightly) smaller bandwidth image PDF. ( The Language of Birds )
