I got to spend some time reading fanfic again, though could hardly make time for all the brilliant-looking Hoggywarty and rarepair winter exchange entries this year that look interesting - most of them do look so worthwhile! You creators have really outdone yourself this year, and the recipients must feel so lucky! Some hits from the ones I've gotten round to reading, most of you have probably already read them, but if you haven't: 

Fanfic: 
The Perfect Gift (Minerva McGonagall/Severus Snape, 8441 words, PG), which is a truly magical ghost story about a Christmas gift, a family curse, and these two rather private adult characters slowly and respectfully falling for each other. Read this, you will not be sorry.

Rest your Dream in My Dream (Minerva McGonagall/Severus Snape, 9k words, T/PG), is an excellent Minerva/Severus fanfic which tells a post-war story about how Minerva and Severus became a couple with flashbacks to relevant past interactions. You won't regret reading it if you haven't already!

and an honourable mention: Lit Match (Alecto Carrow/Lily Evans, ~2k words, R) by [archiveofourown.org profile] phantomanto , which is a very interesting take on this unusual pairing which they still manage to make work well.

Art:
Rejoicing (in the Greenhouse)- an illustration for an equally excellent fanfic (The Longest Night) set in a greenhouse.

Art for Reawakening - a delightful gifset illustrating the visitors to Severus' bedside illustrating the fic of the same title

What a good ending to last year and start to this one!

Title: Burning
Characters: Lily. 
Rating: G.
Summary: Lily looking at the burning remains of a house.
A/N: Much like Kelly's narrator Adela I usually opt for silhouettes over drawing properly. This does not stop me from trying occasionally, like yesterday evening, so here is a dramatic Lily with a gigantic nose. And something went wrong with her ear, too.

Rating: G
Credits: geoectomy-stock's JBD Runner, charfade's Grass Brush Set. Thank you!
Summary: four Gryffindors and a Slytherin.

Art: Sisters

mothwing: Silhouetted Minerva and Severus sitting in front of a Christmassy mantlepiece (Hat)
Title: Sisters.
Characters: Lily Evans, Petunia Evans
Rating: G
Credits: Sailor Kerrie Pushing by *SenshiStock, Smoke brush by ~Falln-Stock.
Summary: "That's where you're going. A special school for freaks. You and that Snape boy… weirdos, that's what you two are. It's good you're being separated from normal people. It's for our safety." - Not a happy memory, needless to say. 
A/N: I've been wanting to do something Pensieve-related for a while now, as I'm wondering what Severus did with the memories he had of Lily after her untimely demise. If a Pensieve serves to preserve memories as well as organise them it's likely to me that he'd be keeping some of his Lily-memories there. 



Step into the Pensieve... )

Title: Ghosts.
Characters: Lily Evans, Severus Snape, Minerva McGonagall, Dougal McGregor.
Rating: G.
Credits: Lily by ~Gracies-Stock and Dougal by ~Johnny-Yong, texture by `cloaks, grass and flowers by !ro-stock
Summary: Sometimes, if the light was right, in the hours around dawn, they almost seemed close enough to touch.
A/N:  Severus and Minerva being haunted by the ghosts of their past - Lily and Dougal. Loved ones who died remain a part of you, and navigating a relationship around those still half-with you must be pretty challenging. Yes, I caved in and did something Pottermore-backstory-related and kitschily indulgent. Apologies!

I've decided to do a backdated pic-dump post with my ventures in April. Mostly for me, should I make some progress in the future and should wish to look back, and because this new hobby consumed some of my time in the first half of 2010.

So. Quick sketches and more detailed attempts at stuff. )

I like hands. I couldn't draw hands. So I drew hands. So now I can draw hands.

This is another cheesy one, Severus about to die, Lily's ghostly hand reaching out, but him being saved by Minerva who actually makes sure whether people are dead and knows her first aid spells.
