12:16 pm - Art (Part 2/2): Three of Cups and Three of Swords
My apologies for this being a touch late, apparently be relaxing and thinking I had plenty of time, whilst making me more relaxed about the art, made me fail about the timing!

Part 1 is HERE, I'd recommend looking at those first, as they do follow on. If you want to read the (vague) story outline I created these images from, see the cut at the bottom.

Title: Research and Longing
Artist: [info]angelbabecj
Type: Art
Main character or Pairing: Harry, Snape/Draco
Rating: G/PG
Disclaimer: The characters depicted belong to JK Rowling amongst others, I'm not claiming anything but the situation I've put them in.
Warnings: None
Summary: Harry helps Snape and Draco research Snape's defence from trial. Harry is a little jealous.
Cards Drawn: N/A
Artist Notes: My thanks, as before, to [info]lilydahlia and [info]ravenna_c_tan



Title: Three of Cups
Artist: [info]angelbabecj
Type: Art
Main character or Pairing: Harry, Snape and Draco
Rating: G
Disclaimer: The characters depicted belong to JK Rowling amongst others, I'm not claiming anything but the situation I've put them in.
Warnings: None
Cards Drawn: Three of Cups
Card Interpretation: Friendship and sharing. Deep connections, and celebration. The three cups are being held aloft in celebration by people from diferent backgrounds or cultures, working together while keeping their individuality.
Artist Notes: Thanks to [info]lilydahlia and [info]ravenna_c_tan as before. Also, if you can't make it out Harry's cup has a phoenix on it, Draco's an 'M' and Snape's is meant to show hidden depths. I see the closeness they've developed preparing Snape's defence, whilst being individuals due to backgrounds, despite their similarities.



Title: Three of Swords (reversed)
Artist: [info]angelbabecjType: </b> Art
Main character or Pairing: Harry/Snape/Draco or Drapery
Rating: R
Disclaimer: The characters depicted belong to JK Rowling amongst others, I'm not claiming anything but the situation I've put them in.
Warnings: Implied nudity and sexual situations
Summary: Draco and Snape weren't oblivious, or against the longing!
Cards Drawn: Three of Swords, reversed.
Card Interpretation: The usual symbol for this card is a heart, pierced by three swords. Reversed, however, it may refer to a release from sorrow or depression. I've slightly twisted the meaning, Harry's sorrow was that he couldn't be part of Draco and Snape's relationship, k? Also Ravenna mentioned to me she sees Slytherins as swords, which I can certainly see, and I associate Harry with the Sword of Gryffindor, hence their are three swords in the picture!
Artist Notes: As ever, my thanks to [info]lilydahlia and [info]ravenna_c_tan for the resolution change and encouragement, and the original reading respectively.

10:44 pm - Fic: Children of Hope (1/4), by airmdm: Greg/Tracey, R
Title: Children of Hope
Author: airmidm on LJ
Rating: R
Characters: Greg Goyle/Tracey Davis
Claim/Card: Ten of Swords
Word Count: Total:10,322; Chapter One: 2,947; Chapter Two: 2,135; Chapter 3: 2,826; Chapter 4: 2,414
Warnings: The epilogue doesn't exist for me so this is EWE. There is mention of numerous character deaths and slight gore. There is also foul language, mentions of drug and alcohol use, Potter bashing (extensive), plots to take over the world... in other words, it is a Slytherin fic. ;)


Summary/Card interpretation: Crushing defeat brought about by idle intellectualism divorced from reality. (Which is portrayed by the end of the war with Voldemort and The Battle of Hogwarts.) Sadness and desolation in the aftermath of a catastrophic and total collapse. (Greg, specifically, how he deals with the end of the war, and the loss of loved ones.) A decisive conclusion brought about through the swift and merciless application of overwhelming force. (The aftermath of the war and what is necessary in order to preserve as much of the Wizarding World as possible.) This card also gives us a glimpse of hope. ;)

Greg and Tracey dealing with the aftermath of the final battle, to include the loss of one of their best friends and the total destruction of their world.

A/N: Greg and Tracey call each other Val and Maeve, nicknames from childhood. According to the Lexicon, the Goyle family is likely from Northern Ireland and I've gone with that supposition when I write Greg. Also, there is frequent references to The Little Prince as according to the 'canon' [info]jandjsalmon and I have created when writing this pairing, it was their favourite book growing up. A big thank you for the hand holding and Beta goes to [info]jandjsalmon!
