.

Happy birthday, Remus Lupin, you sly, old wolf! Severus will take care of your wishes, I'm sure. ~_^

Remus' Birthday is the challenge of the month! Feel free to post any old thing related to Remus' birthday through March.

Also, our beloved azure_rosa is back in town, and she's holding a Drabble Night in chat tonight at 5 pm Western/8 pm EST.

If you aren't familiar with Drabble Night, it's when we get together in chat, issue a prompt, work for 10 minutes and then share the results. Artists and observers are more than welcome, too! If you aren't up for tonight, Rosa will run the same times this Friday, the 13th!

Have you spotted other Snape/Lupin work elsewhere? Feel free to either share it on the community or link it here and I'll share it on a future mod post!

HAPPY FRIGGIN' SPRING, ALL! ♥!

Title: Equal and Opposite Reaction
Author: bonfoi
Rating: R
Pairing(s): Remus Lupin/Severus Snape; Luna Lovegood/Harry Potter
Summary: For decades, Albus Dumbledore manoeuvred Severus Snape into situations where he was bullied, blackmailed, and bemused into darkness. He bided his time, setting up Severus for a dark and deadly fall, but he forgot how strong Severus' survival instinct was...and he failed to realize that Severus was not unprotected by the greatest magic of all.

Title: The Last Supper
Author: alisanne
Word Count: 100 x 6
Rating: PG
Challenge: Written for snupin100's prompt #500: The Last Supper.
Characters: Severus Snape/Remus Lupin.
Beta(s): sevfan and emynn.
Authors Notes: I'm not sure why I decided that angst was the proper send off for this community, but this is how the prompt spoke to me. *shrugs* Be warned, this is written in second person and there is major canon character death here, although, if you're at all familiar with my writing, you'll know it's not violent.
This is dedicated to cordeliadelayne, under whose captaincy, this community enjoyed a long and fun run. ♥

Read The Last Supper on LJ/IJ/DW.

snupin100 announced its 500th challenge, which is also the last challenge. The community will remain open to drawables and drabbles, which will still need to be exactly 100 words.

Snupin100 was started by sapphiretragedy, and the utterly enchanting cordeliadelayne took over the community at challenge #20 (omg!). Please be sure to give Cordeliadelayne your thanks for a long-term job well done!

The current challenge, The Last Supper, technically ends on Tuesday, and there's been no entries yet. Who's going to write or draw one last time for Snupin100 with me? If you need an example of drawables, check out Maporan_Gata's recent posts.

*****
The 2015 Severus Snape Fest posted its masterlist. There are two pieces of interest, art by Shadowycat and fiction by Bonfoi. Thanks for carrying the Snape/Lupin torch outside the community, ladies!

Unearthed: Spell Caster - by demicoeur. This is a commission piece, so look, comment if you can, but don't touch. ~_^

Monthly challenge: Oh, come on, it's February. Love or not love, you choose! We have a tag for it, which I've used on this post. If you produce something along those lines this month, feel free to use the tag!

Remember, creators don't like to work in a vacuum. Encourage their work by leaving comments and recommending what you like to others, wherever you can.

*****
I'm going to work on some community housekeeping. If you have any questions or needs, please let me know. Otherwise, have a terrific VD, no matter how you celebrate (or not celebrate) it!

And now we come to the end of Snupin Santa at the end of Severus' birthday. Feel free to continue celebrating Severus for the rest of the month and we'll find our new community normal for challenges next month.

As always, there are icons for all of you to use now and in the future. There are both Snape/Lupin icons and Snape/Lupin holiday icons as well as the full-sized art donated by Shadowycat. I'd like to think that "Snupin Santa" is a term that could be used every holiday season, even if the exchange/fest is officially at rest.

Next comes copious thank-yous! My extreme adoration and appreciation go out to the following:
Shadowycat for the icon art, reminder posts, beta support, and moral support throughout Snupin Santa.
Starduchess for formatting, the master list below, and moral support, too!
McKay for starting Snupin Santa and allowing us to continue it when she stepped away.
All the creators who came out this year!
All the readers who left comments on works, especially (shout-outs!) Alisanne and Shaded_paradox, who commented on almost every piece.
Everyone who had something to do with any Snupin Santa, ever. 10 years is amazing for any community celebration, and you all leave behind a stunningly terrific legacy.
If you feel I've forgotten you in these thanks, obviously, I have, and you should poke me, because I will be properly horrified and will make sure to shout you out in a future post. But mostly, poke so you can enjoy my distraught flailing.

I thought I'd have more to say, but after 10 years, I feel nothing but proud of what this community's members have accomplished. Next year, if someone wants to run a holiday event on the community, just let me know, and maybe we can even brainstorm archival support in some form. Until then, Lupin_Snape remains at your service for any and all Remus Lupin and Severus Snape needs.

If you find any broken links, let me know in reply here ASAP.
Big Love to all of you. And now one last....

Snupin Santa

Title: Ripples, Pangs
Author: mayachain
Relationships: Severus Snape (& Rubeus Hagrid, & Remus Lupin)
Genre: Gen at this point in their lives
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~550
Summary: The only good thing about all the commotion this accursed term was that Severus turning thirty-five had utterly disappeared into the background.
Notes: Part 28 of the birthday!verse.

January 9th, 1995

Santa dug deep into the bottom of his red bag and found one present that hadn't been delivered!


Title: Winter Kiss and Summer

Artist: Karasu_hime

Summary: First Kiss in the Snow and an intimate moment in Summer

Rated: Holiday Spice (R)

HP Era: 1960-1981: Marauders Era, 1998-onward: After the Second War

Genre: Romance

Warnings: None

Media: Tablet and Photoshop

Artist Note: Lupin/Snape has and still is my one true OTP; it is also the community that I was most active in! I enjoyed interacting with everyone that I have met through here and a few of you I still talk to!

Snupin Santa was always one of my favorite fests! I always felt that I was somehow benefiting from the many presents, even though some were clearly meant for others! One can always dream!

Snupin Santa notes: Again, it's still Epiphany in a small chunk of the world, so enjoy these last 4 official works of Snupin Santa 2014. There's a goodbye, Epiphany celebrating, and closure on a long-running universe. I decided to let Shadowycat have the last "word" because she's been a supporter of Lupin_Snape from the very beginning, and because, I think you'll agree, we couldn't end on a more perfect note.

I'll be back on Severus' Birthday (January 9) with one more post to the archive and a master list. Remember, if you do some reccing, please let me know with a link in reply to any Snupin Santa post on any lupin_snape community. I'll see them. I hope some of you will think of some drabbles and tributes to Severus on the 9th!


Title: Where I always feel at home

Artist: Shadowycat

Summary: Home is where the heart is.

Rated: Gingersnaps (PG13)

HP Era: War or Post-War

Genre: Established relationship

Warnings: None

Medium: Pencil on paper

Artist Note: Lupin/Snape has been my fandom home for the past several years, and I couldn't ask for a better one. The Snupin community has always been a wonderfully welcoming place to be, with some of the very nicest, kindest, and most creative people I know. It's been a huge pleasure to be a part of it. Year after year, the highlight of my participation in the community has been Snupin Santa.

It was one of the first big fests I ever took part in, and it's always been one of my very favorites. I'll miss it dearly, but I'm grateful to be able to be a part of it one final time. Thanks so much to everyone who's worked so hard to make this a great fest year after year, and extra special thanks to Lore for keeping the fest going for so long and for making Lupin/Snape and the Snupin community in general such a great place to spend time.

Rated: On the Nice List (G)

HP Era: 1998-onward: After the Second War

Genre: Alternate Reality, Romance

Warning: For general sappiness?

Artist Notes: I'm sad to hear that this is the last Snupin Santa. So were Snape and Lupin, so they thought of this... (Snape: "Lupin, you promised you wouldn't do that. I'm not a pillow.")

Title: New York, New York

Author: Ellid

Summary: It’s been thirteen years since the attack that changed Remus Lupin’s life. He’s happy now, with a husband, a son, and a good career as a writer and activist. There’s no reason for him to be so on edge at the thought of returning to New York, none at all...

Rating: Gingersnaps (PG13)

Genres: Alternate Reality, Drama/Angst, Romance

Era: 1998-onward: After the Second War

Word count: 1025

Content Warning: References to terrorism and PTSD

Notes: This is a sequel to New York Minute and the Motherless Child series, wherein Snape and Lupin become a couple in the wake of the 9/11 attacks and adopt a young werewolf. It seemed a fitting way to end Snupin Santa by bringing my main series about Remus and Severus full circle.
Happy holidays, one and all, and my eternal thanks to the moderators of this fest for doing such a splendid job over the years. I'll miss it.
Peace, Ellid

Kinda damn perfect, aren't they? So Severus!



Search for store talkingloves on Etsy if you gotta have. No link because I'm not trying to sell them to you, just wanting you to join me in basking in the perfection of Snupin gloves.

Feel free to add some candid captions to this photo. Did Remus give them to Severus or Severus to Remus? What would they say about the gloves if they were given them or saw them on the internet? Who knitted them? Etc.!

(Example: "Ha, ha, very funny, Severus. How did you get Pansy to knit them?" - Remus on his birthday)
