10:23 am - Art: Two of Swords LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY owens_mom) Title: Two of Swords Author:  owens_mom Type: Art Main character or Pairing: Harry/Draco Card: Two of Swords Card Interpretation: "Swords generally are not symbolical of beneficent forces in human affairs."  "Friendship and union. An alliance to achieve a goal." (P) "Having to choose, the lesser of two evils." (RW) "Unblinking in the face of danger. Sharp differences between two people." (V)  Rating: G Disclaimer: Not mine, JKR's, Etc. Warnings: None. Okay, first and last fanart here...LOL. This was way harder for me than I thought it would be. I was hoping to be inspired by something phenomenal and not have to draw people, but I never was, and 50 million attempts later, I stopped with this one. My interpretation of the card: I drew them back to back, which I felt could be interpreted as an alliance (having each others back), but also demonstrating the differences (facing away from each other, possibly not working together).  Painted with acrylics, then fixed and fiddled with in Photoshop, with a dash of Illustrator. Thanks to my friends for their input. ( Two of Swords... ) Current Mood: apathetic

11:52 am - Page of Swords FIC LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY lotrwariorgodss) Title: Desires of the Damned (1/2) Author: lotrwariorgodss Type: Fiction Length: 12,300 Main character or Pairing: Draco-centric, Harry/Draco Card: Page of Swords Card Interpretation (from various sources): ---"He is passing over rugged land, and about his way the clouds are collocated wildly. He is alert and lithe, looking this way and that, as if an expected enemy might appear at any moment." ---"A person who believes in himself/his objective, but is driven by desires or fears." (RW) ---An alert, inquiring mind; Vigilance; Secret activities – spying; Learning (or trying to learn) from conflicts and difficult situations; a sense of detachment from your problems ---Pages represent news. A new perspective and a new way of doing things are approaching. Joy will replace pessimism, so don't give up. Your search will have a successful conclusion, and everything will turn out just fine. ---This card represents a person under the age of 25 who is an air sign (Draco – Gemini) Rating: soft R Disclaimer: Anything recognizable isn't mine, it belongs to Jo and WB and whoever else has a legal claim. Warnings: Violence/torture, (minor) character death, self-mutilation/suicide attempt, language, inferred sexual activity (non-graphic) Summary: Draco learns that being a man means more than following in his father's footsteps. He thinks he's found his salvation, but is that really what he needs? Author Notes: This story starts about a week after the events of Half-Blood Prince and follows all canon up until then. It is written in a much different style than anything else I've done, but it begged to be done this way. A big thank you to my beta confiteor_3 who did an excellent job in record time. There's a rather extensive post about all the inspiration for this story and other little bits here if anyone's interested. ( Desires of the Damned )
