Summary: After the war, life goes on - perhaps not as it once did, but if they've survived Voldemort, Severus Snape and Remus Lupin will find some way to keep body and soul together...even if it means working together.

Why you chose this piece: I really don't remember how I first stumbled across this particular fic, since it's been about three years since it was written. However, I've kept it bookmarked because it's simply one of those wonderfully humorous, romantic and smutty comedies that I keep coming back to when I feel like I need a bit of a smile.

Set in what would now be considered an Altered Reality (Post War, accurate up to HBP), the story picks up with Severus on "parole" and Remus helping the Weasley Twins create products for their store. When Remus gets the idea for a sex toy, however, he asks Severus to help with the development and proposes they start their own business making magical sex toys. It switches focus between Severus and Remus, letting their separate stories dovetail into one single story. They aren't an established pair to start with, and so we get to see how they go from being reluctant (on Sev's part) business partners to lovers.

What I absolutely love about this story is its humor, which is witty and raunchy and just plain fun. ...oh, and the sex. Since this is a story about the creation and testing of various sex toys, there are lots and LOTS of very well written sex scenes. Chazpure blends steamy smut and humor extremely well, and her characterization isn't to be sniffed at either! Her Severus and Remus are so very believable and real, that you end up laughing with them and genuinely hoping they wind up together in a relationship in the end.

I recommend this to anyone who loves witty humor, the ribald romantic comedy, and the steamy smexins.

A Musical Cocktail

Okay, so because I happen to notice things like birthdays, and find that they really do make the best excuse to do nice things, this would be my fun way of killing two birds with one stone. ellid's birthday was a few days ago, and often we enjoy popping out drabbles and whatnot as gifts, but I figured that it might be cool to do this instead. Since our new challenge for the month is recs, that's what I thought I would do. Comments and cheers would certainly be appreciated just as much a couple drabbles.

And as great as my idea was, I realized too late that this will be two in one day for this popular girl. XD

Title: On the Dynamic of an Asteroid
Author: ellid
Rating: NC-17
Summary: The last Death Eater has a cunning plan. Remus and Severus must travel to the past to stop her.

Why this fic?
Why not? It smooshes two fandoms that I adore together. I'm a Sherlock nutter, and I really enjoy the fandom. So slapping Snape and Remus on top was enough to make me squee for several minutes before being able to read it. ^_^

This is part of the Motherless Child series, but it's not completely necessary that you read that first. Remus is once again just trying to help and it looks like Severus is now along for the ride. And just to give you an idea of what to expect here's my "random" excerpt that I picked simply because ellid really is the best reporter for the Daily Prophet that we've got. XD

And of course the mission of our wonderful new challenge is to comment and pass on the word. So, yay! ^_^ Happy (belated) Birthday, ellid and happy reading.

Title:The Chemical Wedding of Albrecht Grindelwald
Gaining Access: Accessible to all
Author: ellid
Length/Word Count: Six chapters, 27993 words
Rating: R
Pairings: Lupin/Snape

Summary: December, 1938. As Christmas approaches, Heidelberg, home of the Student Prince, prepares to host a great celebration. All is in readiness for the wedding of the Führer's favorite, Albrecht Grindelwald, as he prepares to take a young and beautiful bride: the castle, the guests, the spells that will ensure a long and fruitful marriage.

Only two men know why Grindelwald is to marry here, and marry now: Remus Lupin and Severus Snape. Why have they come from the future to disrupt the greatest moment of the Wizarding Reich?

Why you chose this piece: This was Ellid's contribution to the Snupin Big Bang, and I have to say she did fabulously. This is an Altered Reality fic that isn't in any way compatable with THAT book. You know the one I'm talking about. It's a prequel to her "Motherless Child" series, which can be found on Moonshadow, however it isn't necessary to have read the series to understand or enjoy it.

I woud consider this a historical or era fic. Remus and Snape go back in time to Nazi Germany, and Ellid obviously did her homework. She not only accurately portrays the setting, she does an exquisite job of merging both the historical information and the Potterverse. As well, I found the slight mystery regarding Severus' connection to the Third Reich engaging and ultimately satisfying in the end. It was so deftly done, I wasn't quite sure if he had already come back in time before or what was going on!

I love her use of magic and alchemy, and I found her premise extremely unique and creative. You become involved in the story and the danger of the situation Remus and Snape find themselves in. It's engaging and wonderful.

I would reccommend this story to anyone who enjoys a good story, and especially likes historical settings.
