Fic and Art Recs!
These come to you from hoggywartyxmas.
Art: The Rug
Artist: sigune
Rating: G
Characters: Snape and, um, Lupin. Sort of.
Summary: Well, there's Snape, see, and he's sitting on this rug with a smirk on his face... (Which was exactly what the requester wanted!)
Though I am a dyed-in-the-wool Snupin shipper, I still love this. The artwork is gorgeous! Snape is just sooooo perfect.
Fic: The Incomplete Art of Cartography
Author: woldy
Rating: G
Word Count: ~2100
Characters: Minerva McGonagall, Horace Slughorn, & Remus Lupin.
Summary: Three places that are not on the Marauders' Map.
This is a marvelous, thoughtful piece about so much more than just Three places that are not on the Marauders' Map.
A sample of the beautiful writing:
Map-making is a far less innocent endeavour than it seems. Maps are never neutral representations of the world; they're a way of drawing boundaries between inside and outside, of making things visible or hidden, of asserting authority over terrain. Remus has read enough history to know that cartography is an act of conquest.
