There are so many Snupin Santa entries that I haven't been able to keep with all of them, but here a few favorites of the ones I've read that I'd like to share with the group:

Rating: work safe
Summary: Characters: Remus Lupin as the noble knight cursed to pace the darkness as a wolf, Harry Potter as his faithful young friend, and Severus Snape as his true love cursed to remain a Falcon in the light of day.
This is a nice play on the "Ladyhawke" movie (of which I'm a big fan), with Remus as the knight character and Severus as the falcon. The art is lovely and impressively detailed, especially the falcon's feathers.
Title: I ask for so little/As the world falls down forreal_life_rosy
Author: Anonymous
Rating: work safe
Genre: crossover
Prompt: Snupin meets Labyrinth. Snape as the Goblin King, including Jareth's hair, pants, and boots.
Another movie theme, this time based on the "Labyrinth" movie, another of my favorites. The art and colors are simply gorgeous.

Fic:
Title: Wedding Bell Blues for
arionrhod Author: Anonymous
Rated: PG
Warnings: extreme snark and a bridezilla.
Pairing: Remus/Tonks
Summary: A best man has many duties. Including keeping the groom from making the mistake of his life.
Word count: 8826
This was absolutely hilarious, a slightly AU fic with Remus and Tonks about to be married, and Tonks turning into the bridezilla from hell. Severus is determined to save Remus from himself, with a little help from Hermione, and narrates the story with a typically snarky sense of humor. One of the story's high points: a Remus who grows a spine.
Title: Found Next Door for
cordeliadelayne Author: Anonymous
Rated: NC17
Summary: Happy Holidays. I hope this pleases! Thanks to ms for the beta!! Based on the prompt here: AU. Kingsley and Snape share a flat. It's completely platonic but Remus, their next door neighbour is jealous. Kingsley finds this hilarious and decides to flirt shamelessly with Snape whenever Remus is around. Then he realises Snape is interested in Remus and decides to get them together.
Word count: 4756
Another hilarious fic, a great mixture of humor and romance. I loved mischievous Kingsley deliberately giving Remus the wrong impression about his and Severus's relationship! I don't want to give away too much of the story, but I was practically rolling on the floor with laughter during one scene where Severus is having Remus move a potted tree around as an excuse to ogle his arse. ;-)
Title: How to Save a Life for
nimrod_9 Author: Anonymous
Rated: R
Summary: The war has given a second chance to many, but Severus doesn’t seem to care. Will Remus be able to help him regain his will to live?
Warnings: None, except maybe a bit of sappyness and OOCness. Oh, and this story is DH compliant up to the end, excluding Snape and Remus’ death.
Author notes: Merry Christmas, Nimrod! I hope you like the prompt I choose, and what I made of it. We all should thank my anonymous betas for the amazing job they did, this fanfic wouldn’t have been half as good without their help! Special thanks to D. For suggesting the title, to S. for sharing the Teddy-love and to A. who’s the best!
Word count: ~18,000
A much more serious story than the previous two, this was really beautiful and moving. This is what I felt cheated of in canon--Harry having to face the living Snape instead of dealing with a conveniently dead martyr. I loved how he did his best to help Snape, even if he felt a bit overwhelmed, and how fiercely protective he was of Snape even with Remus. And Remus has gained a lot of strength, and is determined to not to let Severus down this time. I loved Teddy, who was adorable without being insipidly cute, and how he helped Severus to heal. The secondary pairing of Harry and Draco is nicely and humorously done, too. As an added bonus, I really love the song by The Fray that the title is taken from.
Btw, I've linked to the Snupin Santa posts on
![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small}
lupin_snape instead of directly to the stories or art, because the mods asked us not to link in "unprotected" places due to an influx of spam on the Snupin Santa archive. I'm not quite sure what qualifies as "unprotected," so just to be on the safe side, I've linked indirectly to the lupin_snape links.
