• HP (Art): Azkaban Logic, by Muirin007. (SFW)

• HP (Art): Flare, by . (SFW)
  
  Harry Potter | Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter | G (SFW)
  Harry and Draco may be Auror partners now, but that doesn't actually lessen their rivalry one bit.
  
  -- >  This is gorgeous. I love the way they stare at each other, Draco rather haughty, and Harry smug and challenging. Love the difference in their postures. The use of the colors is great, and how the contrast helps to create tension.

• HP (Art): Afternoon on the Time-Turning Tracks, by wystarwy. (SFW)
  
  Harry Potter | Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter | G (SFW)
  Some platforms lead to other places, and some lead to other times. Draco Malfoy is joined in his attempt to fix his past by none other than Harry Potter.
  
  -- >  This is a great execution of an interesting prompt. I like the use of the colours, and how the story is told without any words. Even though it's only three panels I can see the journey.

  Harry Potter | Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter | G (SFW)
  The red string of destiny hasn't always been red.

• HP: Finding The Way Home, by hiddenhibernian
  
  Harry Potter | Gen; Helga Hufflepuff, Justin Finch-Fletchley | PG | ~ 1,000 words
  Being a Hufflepuff means you have to do things the hard way. It has its advantages, however...
  
  -- >  This is a really cool and interesting character study. Lovely.
  Love especially Helga's characterization, and how her work endures thoughout the centuries. Really, I'd love to read more about Helga.

• HP: Art and Science, by cloelockless2.
  
  Harry Potter | Scorpius Malfoy/Albus Severus Potter | PG-13 | ~ 2,000 words
  Albus really notices Scorpius for the first time while commentating for a Quidditch game.
  
  -- >  This is adorabel and sweet, and I like the slowly building tension. There are neat little touches that add flavour to this story.

• Merlin (Art): The Brave Knight, Beautiful Princess, and Fearsome Dragon go trick or treating, by evidoe. (SFW)
  
  Merlin (BBC) | Arthur/Merlin, Aithusa | G (SFW)
  Aithusa was adamant about what costumes each of them was to wear. Obviously She would make the bravest knight, Arthur would make the most Beautiful Princess and Merlin would make the most Fearsome dragon. Arthur was a bit unsure he could really pull off being a princess, but then Merlin agreed he couldn’t and Arthur decided to prove him wrong and got really enthusiastic about it.
  
  -- >  This is adorable. Love their expression and the use of colors.

• Merlin (Art): to our health, by deheerkonjin. (SFW)
  
  Merlin (BBC) | Arthur/Merlin, Hunith | G (SFW)
  "I can't help but notice, Hunith," Arthur said pointedly as his mother-in-law tried very hard not to commandeer the cinnamon, "That certain parties in this kitchen have not been fully participating in our family bonding experience."
  Merlin, who until just recently had been Instagramming the smears of flour on Arthur's butt, grinned innocently. "That's because my job is always the taste-test!"
  
  -- >  This is warm and festive, and I love the way Merlin looks at Arthur.

• DS: Tell Me About This Lightning, by Azar.
  
  due South | Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski/Ray Vecchio | NC-17 | ~ 12,150 words
  Ray never wanted a soulmate. The universe might have other ideas, but then he's never particularly trusted the universe's judgment on the matter.
  
  -- >  Really cool trope-subversion of the soulmate bond. Like RayV's voice here, and the tension and ust.
