Discussion: Wartime Harry and Draco

[pink_mint]

I made a post to accio_hd_fics the other day asking if anyone could think of stories or art depicting WWI or WWII. I couldn't think of any, but I was hoping I was wrong.

Many thanks to roma_fics because she remebered a piece she thought was great, and oh, wow, do I agree. It features Harry and Draco, amongst several other characters, in a trench.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR (or) Steady On, Soldier

The drawing is intense and cool and very well done. It's the kind of thing I was looking and hoping for. And what really delighted me about the piece is that it's a magical AU. I think it's so special.

But sadly this is the only thing that came up. I'm surprised this is the case, especially since the Harry Potter series had a first Wizarding War and lead up to the second Wizarding war. It seems like it would have been done extensively and become almost a cliché.

Why hasn't it been done? This is an unmarked territory for Harry and Draco. I'm craving more stories and art like this, and I'm inspired to add to it. I think I have my prompt idea for my hd_holidays sign-up! Distress and romance during a wartime fall and winter - my heart flutters just thinking about it! :-D

Draykonis did a commission of h/d at a bar in wwii uniform (at least it looks that way to me), which, like all of her stuff, is INCREDIBLE: http://unassumingpumpkin.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d27ubol

There are also some adorable as/s stories and pictures from the "as/s through the ages" fest. One set in late twenties Germany (http://community.livejournal.com/the_ass_fest/88804.html#cutid1), one during the blitz (http://community.livejournal.com/the_ass_fest/88545.html#cutid1), and one during wwii, where Scorpius is sent to England for protection and lives with the Potters (http://community.livejournal.com/the_ass_fest/86719.html#cutid1). All are very good.

There really should be more though! Please, draw us some!!! I know I've been craving a Dumbledore/Grindlewald 20s to wwi novel for AGES!

Yes! That piece by Draykonis is so cool it acts like an AC unit. HAHA.

I'm excited to take a look at these AS/S stories and illustrations! You know, now that I look at that gorgeous illustration by ghot from Between Two Worlds, I remember seeing it before - but I didn't read the story! And the other two I haven't seen at all. Yay! Thank you for all the recs, honey!!

I will draw some, I promise. :-D And I like the sound of that Dumbledore/Grindlewald novel!
