FIC & ART: Play Me Like A Love Song

Title: Play Me Like A Love Song Pairing: Minerva McGonagall/Wilhelmina (“Will”) Grubbly-Plank Rating: Explicit Warnings/Content Notes: Lesbian Character, Queer Themes, LGBTQ Themes, LGBTQ Character, Canon Character Death, Character Death, HIV/AIDS, Queer Awakening, Stone Butch, Coming Out, Families of Choice, Drag King, Self-Discovery, First Time, Female Friendship, Bars and Pubs, Drinking, Implied/Referenced Sexual Harassment, Sexism, Misogyny, Name-Calling, Slurs, Activism, Politics, Gay Rights, War, Time Skips, Grief/Mourning, Romance, Humor, Falling In Love. More extensive content notes on AO3. Please heed all tags. Summary: Minerva McGonagall doesn’t believe in love at first sight, which is why her instant attraction to drag king Wilhelmina (“Will”) Grubbly-Plank is so unexpected. War tears apart the wizarding world and as one battle ends Minerva and Will must fight once more, this time for the lives of their friends on Little Compton Street. A love story spanning five decades defined by music, laughter and tears, in which love is not always easy, but it’s always worth fighting for. Word Count: 67,000 Author’s Notes: This story is part of my Little Compton Street universe but is completely standalone, no prior knowledge of the ‘verse required. Thank you so much to my wonderful beta and brilliant friend @gracerene for dealing with my endless questions, to Shify, Silv and Le for the laughs and some much needed cheerleading, to the brilliant fest mods Violet and Frnkly for their endless patience and for putting on a terrific fest. A huge thank you to the artists dearest @impasse-trash and @owlpostart for creating such thoughtful, inspiring pieces and for all the hard work and enthusiasm for this project. I so hope you enjoy the final results and feel the story does justice to your beautiful work. It was such a pleasure collaborating with you both, thank you to infinity for immediately 'getting’ what I was trying to accomplish with this fic. Happiest of Pride months to every WLW out there. I hope most of all that this story makes anyone that reads it feel hopeful, happy and full of pride for those battles fought and those still to fight. Finally, @silveredsound, this is a belated birthday gift for you which I think I have managed to keep a surprise! This enormous fic grew out of a little seedling you planted in a tumblr ask long ago and continued to be inspired by conversations we have had over time about the 80s in particular and I ended up writing you a whole novel. Thank you for supporting my love for this rarest of pairs. Artists’ Mediums/Notes:  @impasse-trash notes: Thank you Violet and frnklymrshnkly for your amazing organization skills, for your gentleness, your understanding during the process (despite lateness, bad englishness…and probably many other things that ends with -ness). Especially, I want to thank you for pairing me with not one, but two amazing creators. I had the most wonderful time during the WLW Big Bang 2019, felt inspired all along! Thank you Writ, for the strong, beautiful, complex universe you created and allowed us to explore. Thank you for the already so carefully thought summary you crafted for us, your flexibility and quality of our every exchanges during the Big Bang, and the way you’re able to make two characters so vivid and strong. Your words touched me deeply, immediately suggested multiple pictures and…I wish there was more time, more pictures to make for it, I already miss it. It’s been important - and it’s been a blast. And…hello Reader who is passing by! My advice for you would be: take as much time reading as possible. Min and Will’s story is worth it. I hope you’ll love it as much as I already do. Also I hope the pictures do your mental images justice and that you’ll enjoy them <3. Thank you for your time and attention. @owlpostart notes: Tonnes of thanks to the Mods for running WLW Big Bang and being their usual kind and brilliant selves, and to Writcraft and Bergatroll for being two such awesome collaborators. Writ, working with you has been a pleasure in so many ways and I’m so grateful I got the chance to. Thank you for entrusting us with your Will and Min and letting us play and dream in the rich world you created, it’s been a wonderful experience.

Draco the wandmaker (Draco + any crafty profession = ❤️ ) I had some difficulties with this pic and went off it v v hard - but this evening I took a look and it’s grown on me!! This version is actually an earlier draft of my final submission for Erised 2018 - I’d decided Harry was all anatomically wrong and redrew him, but on reflection I much prefer this version!!!

Dear lovely person (or people!!) who nominated me in the drarry awards, thank you so much!!! I thought it was a certain friend but they’ve denied it, so to whoever it was, I’m so grateful, a bit awed, and a little embarrassed to tell the truth. <333 I have very complicated thoughts and feelings towards that comic but to know someone thought about it and remembered it is incredibly warming, so thank you <3

[owlpostart]

I was very specifically thinking about Draco in The Vanishing Department by @dictacontrion while drawing this. Starched collars, heavy robes and fastidiously polished buttons. All very very pleasing things.

[owlpostart]

I saw Tennessee Williams’ Summer and Smoke at the theatre last night and have been thinking about Alma and Johnny ever since. Or more specifically, Alma, as I hated Johnny. I didn’t find much to support or feel thrilled by in their relationship, (and was SO surprised by my friend who thought it was all terribly romantic!!!) was constantly worried for Alma, dreading her tragic end - which never really came, (though some might have interpreted it that way.) Maybe I’m just not a romantic? Actually, leaving for a wild night at the moonlight casino with a travelling salesman, getting closure from your heartbreak and not ending up married to an abuser is def def a happy ending. Well, Patsy Ferran was  i n c r e d i b l e  as Alma, (the whole show was incredible,) and though I don’t ship them, and though I find this moment from the program i’ve been drawing as very sinister and not romantic AT ALL, here’s some inky fanart!!

[owlpostart]

( @silveredglass I’m answering this here!!) Thank you for the asks Silv lovely!! These are really great ones <3<3<3

1 - Do I prefer traditional drawing or digital?

Traditional defs. While I’m excited by the possibilities of digital painting I’m not practised enough for it to feel as easy and intuitive as drawing traditionally, and as drawing is a language, a way of recording and communicating to others what’s around you or what you want to say, the easier it is to get what’s in your brain and on to the page the better.

18 - What are you currently trying to improve on? Gosh, hard!! I’m trying to find an illustration style that feels natural and real and interesting to me. I’m finding it so difficult! I’ve spent most of my life (and as u know, in my job,) trying to make art that looks like the thing, or an interpretation of something that exists... And it’s been a huge change over these past couple of years, since I started getting into fanart, of trying to invent a thing that stands on its own for its own sake. So yeah, i’m trying to improve my way of doing this... to find a way of approaching things/drawing style that isn’t too heavily influenced by other artists or photos, that is my own and that I feel proud of.

29 - How do you usually start on a big piece? Sooo lots of sketches! And when that doesn’t work lots of posing in selfies, or getting other people to pose, or trawling google images. Then I work on the composition in small thumbnails if there’s a background, and work out the final shapes of the figures, then I lightly sketch it all out in pencil, then maybe watercolour pencil if it’s going to be in watercolour, and then I start building up the painting gradually (and rub out the pencil as soon as I have the first layer of thin paint on,)

Thanks again love!!!!! <3
