A drive-by art rec and a ficlet
Apr. 9th, 2012 05:37 pmWhen we were in Canterbury last year, we had lots of fun with hairpins.
No, nothing too kinky.
Just that I had to pin up our Minerva's black bun, and then, at the end of the ball,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
queen_of_snapes had to take all the pins out of cranky__crocus's spectacular long hair. And Queenie mentioned how the undoing Minerva's bun, hair tumbling over naked shoulders, whole thing being very sexy and, above all, easy (such a well-known fandom trope) couldn't be realistic at all, since the whole process was full of anxiety on the part of the unpinner and yelps on the part of the bun-owner.
Well,shadowycat made a drawing of the very moment. You'll find it here.
At the time, I even wrote a little ficlet about the hairpin thing. I never posted it, butshadowycat's lovely drawing reminded me of it so much, I decided to let you have a peek at it after all.
In the ficlet (I'm giving you the hairpin part of it) Rolanda, Minerva, and Poppy have a late-night drinking session with lots of gossip and stories. (No, you'll never get the full tale.)
At some point someone asks Minerva why she never does anything truly elaborate with her hair, and she says she always uses a simple binding spell. The girls feel there's more to it than that, and, with lavish amounts of liquor, bribe her into telling.
