Wow, I got both fic and art! Thanks for the Yule theme, and the Snupin!
So melancholy, but still, Lupin sought Snape out and I love that they still have something together, even though Snape is clearly bitter and ugly and afraid to give even the slightest sign that he needs or wants anything. I especially like that last panel, because it shows us what he shows no one else. Lupin knows, though. :) but as I turn to go I swear that I catch an aborted glance in my direction. I like my Snape's with big noses, so your portrayal of 'it' and Lupin's remark about the 'great hollows of his nose' make me happy. :)
Thank you so much, mystery artist/author--I love them both!
