Snowflake Challenge 2019 - Day 6 and 8

Day 6

In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wish-list if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.

I don't have much to ask:

1) Well-written Mystrade fics, possibly with a little angst, some UST and a happy ending. They don't necessarily have to be explicit (though I love well-written smut!), but good kissing scenes are always a plus. I know there are a lot of excellent fics out there, and I've read quite a few, but if someone could point out some new(ish) stories, I'd be really grateful.

2) Mystrade fanart. Paintings, comics, anything really. I just love those two.

3) Snape/Lily fics and/or fanart. Because I just love awkward, teen!Snape and fierce, teen!Lily. Stories and fanart where they are still friends, showing their life at Hogwarts or during summer breaks or the two of them going on with their lives after the events in "Snape's worst memory", but thinking back of their old friendship every now and then.


Day 8

In your own space, post self-recs for at least three fanworks that you created. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

1) Of torches and graveyards (Mystrade, PG-13) - This fic took me a very long time to finish: I originally started it just after "The Abominable Bride", then lost inspiration and abandoned it. I picked it up again after Season 4, but still didn't finish it until last year. It's not exactly like I had originally planned, but I must admit I'm quite satisfied with how it turned out.

2) A reasonable solution (Molly/Lestrade, PG13) - This is not a pairing I usually write or read, but I got this idea and just had to write it. Besides, even if my main ship is Mystrade these days, I have to admit Greg and Molly look damn cute together.

3) The Dead Lovers fanart - A Christmas sketch and a Photoshop New Year version, inspired by a concert I saw last December. The "recurring theme" throughout the show was Lula's love for "vino rosso" (red wine), so I used it for these two silly drawings.
