I have a couple of Snupin fics to rec today, an older story that I had the pleasure to come back to, and a WIP crossover fic that was recently completed...
Title: The Plague of the Heart
Pairing: Snape/Lupin
Rating: The story is unrated, but I'd consider it to be PG; there is romance but no explicit sex.
Author: Draconn Malfoy
Summary: Somebody has to marry Lupin, but Snape refuses.
Someone on![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif)
lupin_snape was looking for "fics in which either Severus or Remus are dying...and they go/turn to the other for comfort/help," and I recalled this one from the Master and Wolf fest. A new wizarding law decrees that a werewolf must be married to a witch or wizard stronger than him/herself or be executed. The only person eligible to marry Lupin and save his life is Snape--who is already dying of a supposedly fatal and incurable disease, so he won't be much help to Lupin. Snape initially refuses to marry Lupin, but eventually they decide to get married anyway and make the most of what remains of their lives.
I say "supposedly" incurable, because despite the seemingly depressing scenario, it does have a happy ending and is a very moving and touching story--a nice comfort read.

Title: Turnabout Prince, Parts 1-4
Author: Rosy
Rating: PG13
Pairing(s)/character(s): Snupin, with a hint of Phoenix/Miles if you squint a little
Summary: It's been years since they've moved to Los Angeles, and now Severus has been accused of murder. Remus goes to the only man he thinks has a chance in hell of proving his lover innocent. But even Phoenix Wright himself may have a hard time with this turnabout.
Disclaimer: *ahem* Severus Snape, Remus Lupin, and any mentions of Potterdom canonical characters are property of J.K. Rowling and Warner Brothers. Phoenix Wright and the cast of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney are property of Capcom and Nintendo. I make no claims of ownership and am not making any profit by their use.
Warnings: AU, crossover with Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney aka Big Gay Lawyers.
Notes: As with Cowboy!Snupin this is entirely Dizilla's fault. She always gives me the best crack. Set Post War (obviously AU, since they are both alive and well in the City of Angels), and after "Turnabout Goodbyes", the technical last chapter of the first game. I am fiddling with PW canon a smidge... but you'll only notice it if you've played both Ace Attorney and Justice for All. This is a WIP. You do not need to have played the PW games to enjoy the fic. ^_^
(Note: I copied the header info from Part 1, but the story is now complete and no longer a WIP. geri_chan)

This is a wonderful mystery story and post-war AU in which Severus and Remus have moved to L.A. Remus is working as a children's author, and Severus is a photographer, and both have achieved a great deal of success in their fields, under pseudonyms. Severus is accused of murdering a rival photographer, and defense attorney Phoenix Wright is hired to defend him. It soon becomes apparent that Severus is being framed and that magic was involved in the murder, but who set him up?
As a fan of both mystery novels and Snupin, I found this a suspenseful whodunnit with a clever and satsifying resolution at the end. The relationship between Severus and Remus is also well done: the story opens with the two of them already an established couple, and the love that they have for each other is apparent, but Snape is still Snape with his trademark snark. It helps to have played the Phoenix Wright video game or to have read the manga, but it's not necessary. The author explains the characters and circumstances well enough that the story is still understandable and enjoyable even if you aren't familiar with the Phoenix Wright universe. I read the first chapter myself without any knowledge of the game, and I was intrigued enough by the characters to go out and buy the the manga (two volumes have been published in the US by Del Rey).
