Secret Santa Baby, for a_belladonna
Rated: R
Summary: Hogwarts has a Secret Santa exchange and Remus coaxes Severus out of his 'bah humbug' blues by fulfilling his Christmas wish.
Word count: ~7600
A/N: I am ignoring continuity pretty much. Too depressing for such a cheerful scenario. The only I'm taking from canon are the people. Otherwise, let's just say we're making this alternate reality in which things got shuffled around chronologically a bit. My apologies to my Snupin Santa recipient. She stated no nicknames, but I think she'll forgive this slight aberration on Severus' name. Also, the final scene should fit slightly one of her artworks! (Though without the Hello Kitty wall hanging. LOL!)
Disclaimer: If I owned them, I wouldn't have killed them. Thus I ignore canon and cheerfully do as I please. Isn't fandom wonderful? The song was originally done by Marilyn Monroe but more recently done by Madonna (though even that's been sometime ago). If anyone is not familiar with it, I'm certain I can find a copy somewhere.

The Mastery of Passions, for valis2
Rated: NC17
Summary: Severus thinks he might rather have died under Voldemort's wand than be sentenced to recover surrounded by Dark magic and Gryffindors.
Word count: ~17,000
Notes: A gift for Valis2, who wanted Remus and Severus with a little bit of Sirius at Grimmauld Place. Set during OotP. Hope it pleases you. Merry Christmas!

Special thanks to my beta, She-Who-Shall-Remain-Nameless-for-now, for all her help with penmanship, summaries and nicknames!
