For those who may be unaware,

hp_goldenage is currently posting their Salt and Pepper Fest. There have been some lovely offerings, so you should go check it out. Below are the offerings I especially enjoyed. :)

Fic:

Love and Other Forms of Chaos, by ~~Anonymous~~ lumosed_quill, Hermione/Millicent, Harry/Draco (ish), NC-17

This is a beautifully written story in which Hermione comes to know herself better, and in which she starts to embrace chaos a bit more. I loved the OCs, like Rose, who was a delight, and Harry, who inadvertently helps Hermione discern her own mind. But Millicent steals the show. She is sharp, clever, perceptive, unapologetic, and just fabulous. I don't blame Hermione one bit for falling for her. Go read and you'll see what I mean.
Until Death Comes, by ~~Anonymous~~ hiddenhibernian, George, Fred, PG-13

Clever, clever plot in which George makes a deal he probably shouldn't have with someone he definitely shouldn't have, but desperate times, right? Only life is short, and he has to pay up far too soon. The somewhat ambiguous ending is actually perfect for this story. And I loved the reappearance of the fierce wartime Golden Trio. They are lovely.

Passing the Trowel, by ~~Anonymous~~ shadowycat, Pomona, Neville, G.

Beautiful scene where Pomona and Neville are working together in the greenhouse. Love the light in this piece and the plants and the beautifully detailed clothes (Neville's robes and tie), as well as their hair and the wrinkles on their faces. Clearly they both laugh and smile a lot. Oh! And there's a very playful vine, too. All in all, a delight!

Go forth, read/view, and comment! Comments are love. ♥
