The Lupin/Snape Lurve Community

Note from Santa: One last submission hint - There's a surprising lack of drabbles & drawables this year, which good, because mmm fleshed-out pieces, but also a little sad because it means less of you are taking the semi-easy shot to be in the last Snupin Santa. Santa will be back on Sunday to check his inbox. Will you be in it? ^_^

Notes: This was inspired by Lupin_Snape Letters to Lupin challenge of 2010. It was such a good idea, and since Snupin Santa is ever so happy with the gift of fic... Well, I couldn't help myself from dusting off this idea and polishing it up for this year. Beta by the lovely KittyLeFish, who delivered a speedy and high-quality beta effort, even in this packed fest fic season. As always, any perceived mistakes are mine alone.
