swissmarg: Mrs Hudson (Hogwarts)
[personal profile] swissmarg
Rounding out our Diversity Awareness Month recs with TWO very special pieces of art. A master list with all of this month's recs and proper acknowledgments will be posted tomorrow, but in the meantime I'd just like to thank our intrepid reccers for making this event possible, and all of the authors and artists who contribute to diversity in the Harry Potter fandom. You're the best!


Kingsley

The (De)Briefing by [livejournal.com profile] karasu_hime (NC-17, art)
Featured character: Kingsley
Summary: Kingsley debriefs his client
[livejournal.com profile] alisanne’s rec: If the pairing isn't enough to short circuit your brain, then the perspective that the artist uses surely will. Throw in the little details like Kingsley's earring, the way he's watching the proceedings, and the fact that they're doing it on a desk (definitely a bullet-proof kink of mine), and you'll see why this is one my very favorite Kingsley pieces.


Blaise

Incubus by [livejournal.com profile] thilia (NC-17, art)
Featured character: Blaise
[livejournal.com profile] alisanne's rec: This is one of the sexiest versions of Blaise I've ever encountered. His glowing eyes, luscious hair, and stunning body, not to mention the way he's looking at Percy, who's clearly under his thrall, makes this stunningly gorgeous piece one well worth checking out.

Seas Between Us Broad Have Roared by [livejournal.com profile] tamlane (Explicit, 4K)
Featured character: Blaise
Summary: "We both know you were hoping and praying Potter would get called in tonight so you could come to me and get what you really need. What he won’t give you. So can we drop the charade?"
[livejournal.com profile] ely_baby’s rec: Tamlane writes the hottest het smut you'll ever find on the internet (I challenge you to find stories hotter than hers). This one story in particular is amazing. A scorching hot encounter between Blaise and Ginny in the toilet of a club. The sex, the relationship, the emotions. There are so many layers to this story and so many things that we gather from Ginny's thoughts and silences. It's mesmerizing and beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.


P.S. Tomorrow is the last day for posting fills for our Prompts of Color Event!

A Lotus for Severus by kittyperry (M, 39K)
Featured character: Padma
Summary: Do not rule out the power of love, for there is great love in your life. A maiden as beautiful as a lotus bloom, a maiden as fragrant as an exotic perfume is in your future. Your love is a flower, waiting to be embraced at right time.
[livejournal.com profile] claudilla1’s rec: the author delves into Indian pure blood society, so very interesting and spot on as she is Sri Lankan-British.


P.S. Only three more days left in our Prompts of Color Event!

Chat by [livejournal.com profile] yeaka (R, art)
Featured character: Cho
[livejournal.com profile] ely_baby’s rec: Cho's expression. That says all. The scene is very naughty and very sweet at the same time. And the way the artist draws is beautiful. A truly lovely piece!

A Valentine’s Proposal (Explicit, 4K) and Carpe Noctem (Seize the Night) by Taja Reyul (Explicit, 3K)
Featured character: Lavender
Summary: After dating for four years, Charlie decides he's ready to marry Lavender.
[livejournal.com profile] sara_lakali’s rec: Both works feature a Lavender of African descent. Both works deal with the aftermath of Greyback's attack, seen through the lens of a relationship with Charlie Weasley. (A Valentine's Proposal was written first; Carpe Noctem is a prequel.)

Fred II

Not the Firewhisky Type by [livejournal.com profile] tamlane (Explicit, drabble)
Featured character: Fred II
Summary: An aunt, her nephew, and a bottle of bubbly not necessarily meant for drinking.
[livejournal.com profile] ely_baby’s rec: This is extremely short, but I think there are not enough fics out there with Fred II as the protagonist. This is extremely hot as well, by the way, and it'll make you ache for more...

Mrs Zabini

The Dark Star by Fabio P. Barbieri (R, 2K)
Featured character: Mrs. Zabini
Summary: Mrs. Zabini. Seven young and healthy men have died with her ring on their fingers; and still men fall in love or in lust with her. Listen as she tells her secrets to Albus Dumbledore...
[livejournal.com profile] swissmarg’s rec: A concise, chilling, yet somehow entirely understandable tale of Mrs. Zabini’s multiple marriages.

Midnight Affair by [livejournal.com profile] vilgsacolin (R, art)
Featured character: Blaise
[livejournal.com profile] ely_baby’s rec: This is rather old, but it's definitely worth a rec. The look on Ginny's face and the position of the couple and Blaise's face and his hands under her skirt... Hmm.. The composition is wonderful and the technique is so unique and clever to show the different contrasts that you'll love it.

Parvati

Sacrifice by [livejournal.com profile] imera (Explicit, 1K)
Featured character: Parvati
Summary: Caught by Theo, Parvati offers herself to save the younger students, willing to do anything. Theo can't resist the temptation.
[livejournal.com profile] nia_kantorka’s rec: I loved the dynamics between Parvati and Theodore in this fic. It stuck in my mind. And only a few people have read it.

Dean

Family Ties by Anyanka_Jenkins (Rated 15, 36K)
Featured character: Dean
Summary: This is my first fanfic, based on an original idea of JK Rowling's. When she posted that "I don't think his history will ever make it into the books." I decided I'd have a go at telling the story myself. This fic is set alongside Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, this year Harry's fellow Gryffindor Dean Thomas discovers that everything he knows about his family is wrong...
[livejournal.com profile] swissmarg’s rec: We get to see Dean as a full-fledged character in this. A fantastic, sensitive portrayal with a gripping story to go with it.
