HP Diversity

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!

The (De)Briefing by karasu_hime (NC-17, art)
Featured character: Kingsley
Summary: Kingsley debriefs his client
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.




Incubus by thilia (NC-17, art)
Featured character: Blaise
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.

Coupla Kingsley fics for your enjoyment!
