Snapelyholidays Rec
Just finished reading this, and had to run over here and rec it while I let my brain come up with a fitting comment.
But omg, y'all, you will love this fic!
Author: is borrowing Harry's invisibility cloak Title: A Carol Sung Off-Key. Characters: Snape/Lupin Rating: NC-17, adult Content Info: *wall!sex, frottage, masturbation, somewhat unintended voyeurism, snark, silliness, Dickens is spinning in his grave* Summary: Seven months after the end of the war, Severus is as much of a miserable, disagreeable misanthrope as ever. Then Lupin arrives bearing a message. Said message is absurd, not to mention unoriginal. Also, Lupin makes a terrible Jacob Marley. Word count: ~13,900
Why you should read this: "As I said, I came to talk to you. Well, to convey a message, really."
"Then convey it and get out."
Finally Lupin began to sound annoyed. "Fine. You will soon be visited by three spirits."
"You have got to be joking."
"Afraid not." Lupin smirked. He was awful at it, in Severus' opinion.
Not quite believing that Lupin could possibly mean what it sounded like he meant, Severus said, "Please tell me the season is coincidental and that these will not be the spirits of holidays past, present, or future?"
"Right in one!" Lupin was just a little too gleeful.
Severus scowled. "You make a wretched Jacob Marley, Lupin."
"How so?"
"We never had so much as even the slightest pretense of friendship, we were colleagues by only the loosest definition thereof, and you were certainly never wealthy."
"Really." Lupin gave Severus a cynical look. "You would have preferred Bellatrix Lestrange, perhaps?"
Suppressing a shudder, Severus shot back, "Aren't you at least supposed to be dragging chains or something?"
I had a wealth of quotes to use, but didn't want to spoil anyone. :D This fic is amazing, and filled with all kinds of snarky banter and pure heart. Love it!
