Rec: Special Delivery (Art, Minerva/Aurora) and yes, this is relevant to this comm!

[swissmarg]

I just came across this gem from minerva_fest, which portrays Aurora Sinistra as a character of color. I think it's really cool because it's a reminder that there's lots of room for interpretation of many canon characters we don't know all that much about.

Title: Special Delivery
Artist: zephre
Prompt Author: lokifan
Prompt: The war against Grindelwald is hotting up and Minerva's just left Hogwarts. She's fighting with the others. I'd like to see her being tough and awesome and discovering herself - basically, 'Young Woman in WW2 Gets To Be Brilliant' with bonus magic and lesbianism. :) Don't stress over plottiness.
Rating: G
Characters and/or Pairings: Minerva McGonagall/Aurora Sinistra
Description: Sometimes their WATA (Witches' Air Transport Auxiliary) courier routes overlapped, and they shared the adventure, flying over the English countryside with Top Secret documents in sealed satchels on their broomsticks. When they separated, Aurora always blew Minerva a kiss.
Warnings: None
Disclaimer: This is original art based on fictional characters from the World of Harry Potter, created by J.K.Rowling.
Artist's Notes: The Air Transport Auxiliary was a British civilian service branch that employed many women pilots during the war. The Witches' branch was, of course, Top Secret itself. The uniform is partially Victorian cycling/riding costume and partially 1940s Airwomen of the RAF. Thanks to my chatroom buddies for the inspiration and encouragement on this one.

Fic: Dressing For Success (Blaise/Luna, G)

[swissmarg]

Title: Dressing for Success
Author: swissmarg
Pairing: Luna/Blaise
Rating: G
Word Count: ~2,500
Summary: Head of design at Zabini's fashion house, Pansy Parkinson has her eye set on the heir apparent. But his eye is caught by a witch who has her own way of looking at things.
Author's Notes: Thank you to En En chan from PI for the efficient and professional beta job. This was written for the rarepair_shorts Winter 2010/2011 exchange. You can also find it posted over there. The prompts I used from ellielove_x3 were: Romance, AU, EWE?, humor, girlish gossip, passionate bickering, fairytale-esque, happy endings (even if open-ended), misunderstandings. I like Blaise to be black and to be a man of little words, yet all his emotions are evident in his green eyes.
