Harry Potter Golden Age

Here's the second and final wrap-up for the Salt and Pepper Fest. Thanks to everyone who's been commenting! The creators really appreciate it. :)

FIC

• Those Old Vows Harry/Draco, NC-17
  Summary: Dubhe absolutely hates her grandfathers’ house. It’s old, there’s no Wi-Fi and no electricity. She was causing problems after school, but it was entirely her father’s fault. She didn’t need to be punished to live with old, boring and conservative people. Harry and Draco, on the other side, were more than happy to have their oldest grandchild with them. Maybe they could show her that being old doesn’t mean being bad.
  
  
• Not In The Plans Hermione/Pansy, NC-17
  Summary: It's all fun and games until someone breaks a hip.
  
  
• The Full Measure of Time Poppy/Minerva, PG
  Summary: It's not that Character A never thought of being with another woman, it's just that up until now they haven't met anyone who interested them enough to want to put it into practice. Both Poppy and Minerva are well past their hundredth year of life, both of them still at Hogwarts as Matron and Headmistress. When Minerva asks Poppy to teach a class on the healing arts, Poppy is against the idea but soon discovers what drives Minerva's motives. Not only that, but a sudden turn of events make Poppy ask herself why she has chosen a solitary life.

• Night Changes Harry/Draco, NC-17

Title: She Loves Him
Author: katie_flint
Characters/Pairings: Katie Bell/Marcus Flint, Oliver Wood/Percy Weasley
Rating: G
Word Count: ~3900
Content/Warning(s): Imagined Infidelity
Summary: Marcus shouldn’t be bothering by finding Wood in the kitchen with his wife, but he is. And he shouldn’t worry when his wife tells him the man’s recently divorced, but he does. It’s when he spots her talks to the Ministry’s divorce wizard, Percy Weasley, that he can’t ignore the signs any longer…
Prompt: I was inspired by the fabulous rosevalleynb and her prompt: Are the rumours true? After x-decades of marriage, a flock of kids and grandkids, and a receding hairline later, Marcus Flint is convinced that he's losing the love of his life to his archnemesis, the newly widowed/divorced/single Oliver sodding Wood.”
A/N: Soo, this came out a bit darker than you had requested but it ends happily!! I just really loved this prompt and hope you enjoy what came of it. Also, this fest is so amazing and outside the realm of normal fests! So cool!

Title: Things Grow Finer With Age
Artist: carpemermaid
Characters/Pairings: Harry/Draco
Rating: PG
Media: Digital, Clip Studio Paint
Content/Warning(s): Draco's inability to handle Muggle devices and his increasing exasperation, Draco attempting to drive a car, horrible texting, schmoopy dancing
Summary/Prompt: Prompt 60 - Harry and Draco are moving in together, but Draco being a pure-blood wizard is just not used to all the Muggle artifacts Harry insists in having in their new house, and really, he's too old to be learning this stuff. Chaos ensues when he tries.
A/N: I had so much fun playing around with this prompt and planning out what items Draco would take issue with while moving in with Harry! He just... did not play well with Muggle things. But Harry's good about persuading him to open his mind, so it all works out in the end. Please view full size, if you're able, to see the details! You can thank trying to decipher my mother's autocorrected text messages as inspiration for Draco's horrible ability to text.
