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: 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 lilydahlia and ravenna_c_tan Title: Three of Cups Artist: 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 lilydahlia and 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: 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 lilydahlia and ravenna_c_tan for the resolution change and encouragement, and the original reading respectively.

Warnings: Inadvertent psychological/emotional/physical abuse of a child, language, allusions to sexual activities (between consenting adults), umm angst? (put it this way – it's not the happiest in the world, but I doubt it'll make you cry) Summary: When Harry finds out Teddy's inherited more from Remus than his love for books, he is forced to make some difficult decisions. But what happens when his dedication gets a little out of hand? Will he lose the people he loves most? Author Notes: This story is DH-compliant (EWE), though obviously someone survived a certain snake-attack. Big thanks to my beta - backstgartist. More detailed author's notes can be found here.
