Spring Renewal

Title: The Answer Was Love

Summary: "This isn’t magic — it’s logic — a puzzle. A lot of the greatest wizards haven’t got an ounce of logic; they’d be stuck in here forever." What if Remus, who has being trying and failing to befriend Severus for several years, learned of Severus’ affinity for logic puzzles? What if after befriending him, he fell in love and decided that maybe the only way to Severus’ heart was through his brain?

Timeline: Post war, both lived, the Tonks train wreak never happened and thus no Teddy.

Pairings: Friendship and eventual Snape/Lupin Pre-slash so far, but it might eventually become full blown slash. Background Harry/Hermione.

Disclaimer: If you think any of these characters are mine please tell me what world you live in so I can move there posthaste! Also all of the puzzles in this story are real and actual logic puzzles that I have solved in various computer games with the obvious exception of the Rubik’s cube which I played in reality. None of the puzzles mentioned hereafter are my intellectual property and at the end I will give credit where credit is due for each in order of appearance.

Rating: pg-13 this part for some swearing? Nothing too scary, promise! :D

Warnings/kinks: none yet unless mind games, both literal and metaphorical, count. Sneaky Remus, sneaky Severus, courtship, drama. Also I switch POV between the boys; hopefully it will be simple to tell whose head you’re in. This is a WIP, but I have most of the beginning and about half of the end done, I just need to do the middle and the very end. I suspect I will post a section a month without any real breaks as I've quite the backlog. :)

AN 1: This installment features a brief foray into the perspective of Harry because Remus needed a wake up call too! :D

AN 2: The first week of next month is finals week for me so I might not manage to post part 12 during that first week because finals tend to eat my brain. DON'T PANIC! I am far too stubborn to abandon this story now and I will post it asap! :D
