Post of links:
jesus christ, that only took over a year and a metric shittonne of money. Thanks RDR for proving that you're a bunch of dicks but at least you're finally-getting-smart dicks. Or, more likely, poor ickle SVA wants to sell books so he begged/pleaded his way into getting RDR to shut the fuck up.
On to the rest which are all recs from various holiday exchanges:
Le Songe by remeciel. The first set of art is absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful. Remus/Sirius
Parts of a Whole - Remus/Sirius. Yes, I obviously know who the author is but dude. AWESOMENESS. Complete and total awesomeness. My favorite bit is the hand fisted in the shirt.
See, I don't think that one necessarily NEEDS the smut to have artwork be hot. I don't need the cock. What I need in a piece of artwork is something that inspires me to think about what comes next, what tells me what comes next without bashing me over the head with it. IMHO (and obviously this is just MHO), putting the cock in every single picture is the artistic equivelent of an assload of tell not show. To me, artwork that implies what comes next is even better. It shows me where we're going and the journey the artist wants me to go along on. This artwork (deamus) is a prime example. Look at it. It's fucking hot because you can tell that the characters are just about to rip the clothes from one another and shag each other rotten. You can feel the need and the awkwardness and the UST.
That's what I like - blatant and complete and total UST. I don't need the smut. I'm not saying I don't enjoy the smut. I do. But I don't need it. Anyway, my two cents.
Contoured Bodies (Seamus/Lavender) IDK that I buy that this is Seamus and Lavender as Lavender's skin is unmarred after getting ravaged by Fenrir and I really cannot see that what with how scarred-up Remus and Bill are/were. However, that aside, I think it's a beautiful tender piece that definitely deserves a look. And then another one.
Back to my
rs_small_gifts fic. Which is going to kill me.
