Art (Part 2/2): Three of Cups and Three of Swords
My apologies for this being a touch late, apparently be relaxing and thinking I had plenty of time, whilst making me more relaxed about the art, made me fail about the timing!
Part 1 is HERE, I'd recommend looking at those first, as they do follow on. If you want to read the (vague) story outline I created these images from, see the cut at the bottom.
Title: Research and Longing
Artist: angelbabe_cj
Type: Art
Main character or Pairing: Harry, Snape/Draco
Rating: G/PG
Disclaimer: The characters depicted belong to JK Rowling amongst others, I'm not claiming anything but the situation I've put them in.
Warnings: None
Summary: Harry helps Snape and Draco research Snape's defence from trial. Harry is a little jealous.
Cards Drawn: N/A
Artist Notes: My thanks, as before, to lilydahlia and ravenna_c_tan
Title: Three of Cups
Artist: angelbabe_cj
Type: Art
Main character or Pairing: Harry, Snape and Draco
Rating: G
Disclaimer: The characters depicted belong to JK Rowling amongst others, I'm not claiming anything but the situation I've put them in.
Warnings: None
Cards Drawn: Three of Cups
Card Interpretation: Friendship and sharing. Deep connections, and celebration. The three cups are being held aloft in celebration by people from diferent backgrounds or cultures, working together while keeping their individuality.
Artist Notes: Thanks to lilydahlia and ravenna_c_tan as before. Also, if you can't make it out Harry's cup has a phoenix on it, Draco's an 'M' and Snape's is meant to show hidden depths. I see the closeness they've developed preparing Snape's defence, whilst being individuals due to backgrounds, despite their similarities.
Title: Three of Swords (reversed)
Artist: angelbabe_cjType: Art
Main character or Pairing: Harry/Snape/Draco or Drapery
Rating: R
Disclaimer: The characters depicted belong to JK Rowling amongst others, I'm not claiming anything but the situation I've put them in.
Warnings: Implied nudity and sexual situations
Summary: Draco and Snape weren't oblivious, or against the longing!
Cards Drawn: Three of Swords, reversed.
Card Interpretation: The usual symbol for this card is a heart, pierced by three swords. Reversed, however, it may refer to a release from sorrow or depression. I've slightly twisted the meaning, Harry's sorrow was that he couldn't be part of Draco and Snape's relationship, k? Also Ravenna mentioned to me she sees Slytherins as swords, which I can certainly see, and I associate Harry with the Sword of Gryffindor, hence their are three swords in the picture!
Artist Notes: As ever, my thanks to lilydahlia and ravenna_c_tan for the resolution change and encouragement, and the original reading respectively.
As I said in my first post I took the three cards and created myself a story, from which I drew several images which sprung into my head. There was originally a further image, which just didn't work out. I took the spread as a past, present, future reading from Harry's point of view.
In the past Harry defeated Voldemort (four of coins), where he restored balance to light and dark forces by his power over the possession the Elder Wand.
In the present Harry aids Draco and Snape (who are a couple) to convince the Wizangamot Snape should be cleared of all charges (three of cups).
In the future Harry joins Snape and Draco, becoming a trio, and releasing his sorrow at the previous situation (three of swords).
To combine the three I decided that whilst Snape and Draco escaped from Hogwarts as per HBP, they didn't go straight to the other Death Eaters, instead Snape spent time convincing Draco of his true allegiances in a confined space, which threw them together. They realised their feelings for one another but hid them, for fear of revealing Snape's allegiance and Draco's feelings (which I don't think Luscius would have approved of).
Most of the events of DH remain unchanged, Snape and Draco's relationship is mostly put on hold because of the outright war situation. Harry defeats Voldemort, whilst Draco (who has been keeping an eye on Snape) goes to the Shack and saves his lover, through a combination of self-sacrifice, potions and hard-work.
Harry knows how Snape has aided the cause of the light and prevents his arrest (this is the scene I cut), perhaps agreeing to keep an eye on him whilst helping prepare for his trial. Draco also helps and the three become closer, discover they have things in common and Harry gradually becomes jealous of the relationship Snape and Draco have, although accepts it.
Shortly after celebrating their victory over the Wizangamot Snape and Draco invite Harry to their new home and convince him they want him, both of them, and seduce him into their bed.
I hope that all made sense.
