Dean recs!
*happy sigh*
I'm in a very Dean place right now. I'm writing a Dean (and Neville)-centric little piece, and have recently read two stories that featured Dean Thomas.

- First, hpslashnotsmut kicked off posting on Sunday with a story for me!! It's Seamus/Dean, and a story about Seamus doing an age-old dance of uncertainty. There are some lovely moments, and the description of Dean painting on Seamus's body is just glorious.
The Keeper, rated PG. - Second, I have no idea how I was even linked here, but I just read a fantastic story posted at springtime_gen. It's Dean-centric, and just so beautifully, lovingly detailed. I was more drawn in reading this story than any story in a while. It included seamlessly woven elements of canon in addition to information on Dean's real father.
The summary included is: Dean thinks his dreams have come true when the most famous painter in the wizarding world takes him on as an apprentice. But magical portraiture is a dangerous enterprise, and in the final days of the war, the Minister for Magic approaches the young artist with a commission that may end in murder...
I fell in love with this Dean. Deeply. And I can't really give a higher recommendation than that. Seriously. This story was outstanding. Go. Read. Love.
