12:00 am - Strength: "Lily & the Lion", Lily, G LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY faire_weather) Title: Lily & the Lion Artist: faire_weather Type: Art Card: Strength Card Interpretation: "It has walked upon the asp and the basilisk and has trodden down the lion and the dragon." & "Spiritual strength overcomes physical strength." Additionally, from tonyallen.co.uk: The Lion is an enigmatic symbol representing passion and strength, both physical and emotional, making the Strength card one of the few major cards which can have both positive and negative connotations either way up [...] The Strength referred to is not a brutal strength but a gentle quiet sort of strength, the type which is recognized in many famous men and women of courage. It is the courage to hold one’s tongue when one would much rather shout, the courage to walk away from a fight and the courage to give up something desired for the good of others. Rating: G Disclaimer: Lily Evans belongs to JK Rowling. Lions belong to me. Rawr. Warnings: None Artist Notes: Much thanks to ravenna_c_tan for telling me about this awesome fest. XD ♥♥♥ Medium: Photoshop/Wacom tablet. I almost called this 'Infinite, in Red & Gold', but decided it sounded too pretentious. Which do you think is better? Heavily inspired by this picture. So heavily inspired, that I'm afraid it might border on plagiarism. *hangs head in shame* I don't know. You tell me? Preview: Lily & the Lion, at my journal.

12:08 am - Strength: "The Sword Reaches to the Heart LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY da_angel729) Title: The Sword Reaches to the Heart Author: da_angel729 Type: Fic Length: 1,091 Main character or Pairing: Molly Weasley Card: Strength Card Interpretation: Spiritual strength overcomes physical strength. Rating: PG Disclaimer: I don’t own anything but the plot; the characters belong to J.K. Rowling. Warnings: Character death. Summary: Molly Weasley has always been strong for others. There will come a time when she has to be strong for herself. That day is today. Author Notes: This idea came to me as soon as I received the prompt, and I have never tried first person before so I hope I’ve gotten Molly’s voice right. I wanted to do slightly incoherent, like she hasn't quite gathered her thoughts together, so I would love to know if that works here. Thanks to my wonderful beta, the_vixxmeister, and as always, con crit and feedback is appreciated! ( The Sword Reaches to the Heart )
