The Lupin/Snape Lurve Community

We're almost halfway through May now (gaaah, how did that happen?!), so don't forget that our theme this month is the Dark Side of Snape/Lupin challenge!

Any "dark" theme you can come up with is fair game, from murder and mayhem, to trickery, to betrayal, to horror, to slavery, to torture, to crime and punishment... anything you wish, really!

If you're feeling squeamish about the thought of introducing dark themes to our beloved pairing, don't forget that you certainly don't need to have the darkness split up our heroes, if you don't want to! We've had submissions to this challenge in the past that kept Snape and Lupin entirely devoted to each other... while inflicting a bit of harm on everyone else. *cackle*

But you also don't need to go full-out blood, guts, and gore to qualify. There are links from the sign-up post (below) to discussions we've had before about what constitutes "dark". Be imaginative! You can encompass a broad range of topics with this one.

The sign-up post and prompt generator is still open, if you need inspiration!

You can post your fic or art here at the comm (or on LJ or DW) whenever you're ready this month, and I'll compile a Masterlist on June 1.

Let's go Dark Side!

Title: Symbols of Rome
Author: Omni (aka rip_von_christ...ME)
Rating: PG
Pairing: Lupin/Snape
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, just the situation in which I'm placing them.
Warning: Another one written in the wee hours of the morning when I should be in bed, so there are probably many mistakes that I missed... I'll try to fix them later, but pointing them out will probably help that along.
Note: I hadn't intended to do anything to continue the short little fic Not a Wolf that had been done for Remus' birthday, but I felt like writing... So, instead of working on the next part of Maska Komodias or working on getting my Darkside challenge done, I do this. And it appears to have more to come. Yeah. -_-
