I've received an interesting manip/art fusion from meghan70 to illustrate the fic.

At this time, this is my last planned HP fic (though not the last to be posted yet). It was an interesting journey to write this story. I started it over a year and a half ago, once I saw this piece of artwork featuring a young Remus playing the guitar (luckily enough, the same artist that did the manip/art fusion!). I gave up the fic under an onslaught of exchanges, fests, wank and moar. Once bigbangblackout was announced, I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to finish the work. The original artwork of Remus strumming the guitar is stunning so go take a look in addition to looking at the artwork with the fic. I highly recommend that you tell the artist how much you love her work.

I'm well-satisfied with the fic. It ended up better than I'd hoped, especially near the end when one could tell (at least, originally) where the love of HP died a horrible, pain-filled, wank-induced death. With the help of quite a few people, the fic got really cleaned up to the point where I'm happy with it.

For reference, the paintings that I mention Sirius having are:

Dennis Hopper by Andy Warhol
Mick Jagger by Andy Warhol
Still Life With Twat by Georgia O'Keeffe.

I cannot mention enough how awesome the mods of this fest were and are. I had nothing but problems with getting this sucker beta'd and they really stepped in and helped out. Truly above and beyond the call of duty with the way that they came through for me when I had multiple others that didn't. Truly a fantastic moderation team. <3

( The Story of Them )

I have done nothing productive today at all. I slept in until 11, ate, took a nap from 1-5, ate and then cruised LJ. And, ok, I read three books.

One of the things I did tonight was to look at crack_broom and see a rec. That lead me to cruising this artist's deviantArt portfolio and omg. So much awesome art.

HP Artwork:

Jestino -
Original Rec - Dean/Seamus

Brilliant Remus/Sirius (slightly NSFW due to bare chests)

Andromeda Black and Ted Tonks oh man. This is a lovely lovely thing. It makes me even sadder about what happens in DH :(

Pansy/Luna that's so dreamy and fits with Luna.

Lily/James - the happiness in this is just utterly infectious.

And then you know how it goes - you link and link and link. So here are some more of the art I've enjoyed tonight -

Marauders by Gold-Seven I love that they're not classically beautiful. I totes see the Marauders as nerds so it's awesome to have that there. I see James and Sirius as the pocketprotector wearing sorts at times so <3 for a non-model look.

Harry Gen Piece by Gold-Seven. "I Open at the Close" - one of the saddest scenes in the whole book. Beautifully rendered.

Weasley is Our King by Gold-Seven. Awesome Ron artwork.

Another Weasley is Our King by Gold-Seven. Poor Ron :(. I think it's cause he just found out his cock doesn't work :(

Lupin sleeping on the train by Gold-Seven. I so want to snuggle up with him.

Gold-Seven has lots of LOTR artwork, as well.

Star Wars Artwork:

Wedge Antilles by Callista1981 Is it any wonder he's my favorite? Look at that intensity.

Male Exile - as much as I'd like to believe that both Exile and Revan were girls, this artwork makes me wonder if I should just change my mind on Exile :/

Baron Fel by Callista1981 oh man. I so want to ship Wedge/Fel.

Wedge, Corran and Tycho by Callista1981. Did I ever tell you the story of how knowing who Tycho Celchu got me a date? No? I'll have to tell you about it sometime :D.

KOTOR Wallpaper Featuring Atton and Kreia bitch

Female Revan. GAH. So pretty. I now want to go and read all the Revan/Carth stories I can omg.

Her KOTOR gallery As this post is getting so long - just look at all this awesome KOTOR artwork. Only complaint is that it needs more Canderous. God, I would so shag Canderous.

When I was in DC, I stayed a couple days with kaalee. To entertain ourselves, we prompted one another and wrote for 5-10-15 minutes. There were 8 prompts total in a very nice range of pairings. You can find kaalee's part 1 and part 2.

Mine are below the cuts. They are unbeta'd.

( Another dead end... )

I realise that International kaalee Appreciation Day was just a short time ago but it's now time to celebrate kaalee's birthday! So, it means another fic and a birthday gift if it wasn't lost in the sodding mail.


Title: Everchanging Saffron
Author: wook77
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Seamus/Dean, various mentions of past relationships
Rating: Hard R
Wordcount: ~2900
Warnings: present tense, inversion of fandom clichés.
Summary: In our life there is a single colour, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the colour of love.
Author's Note: Summary is a quotation by Marc Chagall. Written with golden yellow love for kaalee. Beta'd by why_me_why_not and test-read by ficlette. All remaining mistakes are my own. As I know that it annoys some, I'm also warning for the inclusion of links within the story to assist the reader.

On a less formal note, I've wanted to write a piece that turns the fandom clichés for Seamus and Dean on their heads. I wanted Seamus to be the one with art in his soul and a brush in hand. I truly hope that I succeeded with this one.



( Kissing, he decides, is a lot like painting… ) Happiest of Birthdays to you, kaalee!

This is one of my contributions for hpslashnotsmut. Other one will be posted tomorrow.
