Title: Sacrificial Severus

Author: Bonfoi

Word count: 9798

Rating: Coal and Switches (NC17)

Era: 1998-onward: After the Second War

Warnings: No Tonks; Infidelity; Violence; Character Death; Sex Magic; Group Sex; Voyeurism; Ritualized Sex; Implied Vampirism; Dark!Fic Elements

Notes: Severus Snape is such an easy target for bad things to happen to, and having Remus be his saviour is a favourite motif of mine. Add pondering on Voldemort's demise and how it might have affected Severus, and the Wizarding World, and then watching the old Hammer film, "The Gorgon", and, on top of that, rereading some tales of Greek mythology, and this (long fic) idea was born. Or it could have been the energy drinks I had at three o'clock in the morning?! *grin* So, here's to all the folks who have came up with amalgamated ideas and fantastical scenarios late one night...Merry Christmas and Blessed Yule! Beta once again by Vinib a.k.a. Furrina, who proves that a great beta will read almost anything. As always any perceived mistakes are mine.

Rating: Coal and Switches (NC17)

HP Era: 1991-1998: Hogwarts Era

Genre: Action/Adventure, Mystery/Suspense, Romance

Word count: 6462

Author Notes: First, gratitude and hugs go to my lovely beta, Garonne, who took on this assignment at a moment’s notice and didn’t disappoint with her work. A heartfelt thank-you goes to the moderators, their helpers and everyone who works so hard every year during this busy season to make this fest happen — you’re my heroes! And to everyone, Happy Holidays! I hope you enjoy my humble offering.

Prompt: I got greedy with this one and decided to claim two prompts and combine them into one story: Story prompt #5, from Shadowycat. Set during POA. Severus spots Remus wandering the corridors late at night. Immediately suspicious, he pursues him to try to discover what he's up to. They get into an argument and somehow manage to trigger a hidden door which sends them somewhere deep within the castle where their magic seems useless to get them out, forcing them to work together… and Story prompt #15, from Hogwartshoney. There is something terrifying about the way Lupin prowls in the days before the full moon. Arousing too, Severus admits, but only to himself, desperately arousing. The moon affects humans and lycans in different ways, it's true, and even Muggles tend to be more erratic in their movements, more on edge. The moon's effect on Lupin is something quite different, and Severus shudders despite himself; despite having faced Dark Lords and monster snakes and the hatred of most of the known Wizarding world, this fear, this anticipation of almost-danger - this is something he can find nowhere else.
