The Lupin/Snape Lurve Community

The Easy Way or the Hard Way, for Midlagedfangirl

From: Phantaz_magoria

Summary: Remus survived the war, but Tonks didn't. When his mother-in-law refuses to give Teddy back, attempting to take advantage of some bizarre custody laws to keep her grandson indefinitely, Remus' life seems on the verge of ruin... that is until Severus Snape, who he also thought thought to be dead, shows up on his doorstep with his own family in tow. Romance ensues.

Rated: Holiday Spice (R)

Word count: 20,921

Warnings: A few swear words here and there. Mentions of previous relationships between Remus/Tonks and Severus/Unknown Female.

Author Notes: Happy SnuSa Midi! I hope you enjoy the Snapelet as much as I enjoyed trying to figure him out. I have no personal acquaintances of that age, so I was asking for advice left and right. Speaking of advice, a thousand thank you's to my wonderful wonderful betas ___, and ___ and most particularly to the ever patient Lore and Nim and every single one of the Elves for making Snusa happen this year!

The Boy Who Cried Wolf, for Tambrathegreat

From: Garonne

Summary: During one of the Order meetings, before things fell all to hell, Lupin makes a discovery about Snape and his very real nightmare of a life. Lupin decides to give him some comfort. Snape decides to put Lupin through the paces to get what he wants.

Rated: Holiday Spice (R)

Word count: 3063

Warnings: Quite dark and angsty at first, but not unremittingly so.

Author Notes: Many to thanks to my great beta, who shall remain anonymous for the moment.

Changes, for Jazzy2may

From: Alafaye

Summary: Severus had no wish to ever see his father again. Unfortunately, his father is dying and wants to see Severus.

Rated: Gingerbread & Cocoa (PG)

Word count: 5046

Characters: Severus' father, Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall

Warnings: Mentions of physical and verbal abuse. Character death (not Snape or Lupin)

Two Hearts Divided, for Zephre

From: Islandsmoke

Summary: When Snape acted on his fantasies, he never thought he and the wolf would bond. That in itself wasn't so bad, but the wolf happened to come with one Remus Lupin.

Rated: Coal and Switches (NC17)

Word count: 23,471

Warnings: Bestiality, dubious sexual consent (Oh, and Tonks never happened.)

Author Notes: Zephre, I hope you like this. My first idea was to combine two of your prompts, but the story took on a life of its own and wouldn't be denied. You can still see the prompts, if you squint, but I hope there is enough bestiality involved to make up for any lack of actual… content.

Huge props, as always, to my beta, who reads bestiality from between her fingers. Any remaining errors are mine.

The Same Deep Water as You, for Chibitoaster

From: Shrinknviolet

Summary: Lupin finds Snape bitten and dying on the floor of the Shrieking Shack following the events of Deathly Hallows. He bites him to save his life and later wonders if he’s given him a life worth living.

Rated: Gingersnaps (PG13)

Word count: 8778

Characters: Severus Snape, Remus Lupin, Teddy Lupin, Harry Potter, Professor McGonagall, Tonks

Author's Notes: A big thanks to my beta whom I bombarded with ponderings such as “would Snape do this?” every 500 words or so. I hope this fic lives up to everything Chibitoaster wanted and expected---with enough Teddy, snarky Snape, and patient Lupin to go around. Merry Christmas, I hope you love it!

The Amazing Marauders, for Ellid

From: Stasia

Summary: One of them has a big secret and it ends up affecting everything they hold dear.

Rated: Gingerbread & Cocoa (PG)

Word count: 10,754

Author's Notes: This was fun to write, and I hope you like it. I'm not sure it's exactly what you were thinking of when you wrote the prompt, but, well, once I started with the idea, it took off. My only regret is that I couldn't put more of what was in my head into the story. There's ... so much more. Beta Readers: Redacted

A Stocking Full of Snupin, for Smallbrownfrog

From: Myene01

Summary: Thirteen to Twenty-nine icons, depending on how you count.

Rated: Gingerbread & Cocoa (PG)

Characters: Chocolate, wolfs, and small brown frogs

Warning: Small Brown Frog voyeurism

Notes: Art from shadowycat, karasu_hime, aleoninc, general domain, unknown artists, and bit of original photomanip.

I had a great time making these icons! I used the following prompts:
1) icons that don't use the movie actors. They could be drawn/painted. Or they could use photo images connected to the pair (for example a vial of potion, a dungeon wall, a wolf, worn or patched cloth, a moon). Or they could be pure text. It would be nice if at least two icons showed SS and RL separately. If they are drawn I prefer an ugly or almost ugly canon Snape.
7) Art: a comic showing how a small brown frog somehow hops through both their lives (cute or silly is fine for this, so is serious). Please don't kill the frog! (A million possibilities: frog as unnoticed spectator, frog as Teddy's familiar that gets into Snape's luggage, frog that SS wants for a potion, frog that sings outdoors at night & wakes up our two so they separately get out of bed in their pjs to hunt it down and meet....etc...etc).

I've been working on your number 6 prompt, but by the deadline I didn't feel it was up to snuff. Hopefully I'll get it done after the holidays!

The Werewolf and His Lover, for Marauderswolf

From: Smallbrownfrog

Summary: Many years ago there was a ghost and a portrait who fell in love.

Rated: Gingersnaps (PG13)

Word count: 5072

Characters: Narrator and unnamed girl

Warnings: Angst

Author's Notes: Thank you to the people who looked over my writing. You both improved it. Marauderswolf, I wish you the best of holidays.

Love Nouveau, for Awickedmemory

From: Chibitoaster

Summary: The essence of Snupin with a nod to Alphonse Mucha.

Rated: Gingersnaps (PG13)

Notes: It's difficult to combine styles. Instead of drawing in the exact style of Mucha, I decided to use Mucha as an inspiration.

Hello!

I hope everyone is enjoying the fest as much as I am, and is rec'ing any and all fics that you especially enjoy.

Obviously, I wasn't clear in my earlier posts about rec collection as to what I need. In order for a fic or piece of art or comic to make the Hot Rec list on the Daily Snitch, that item must "have been recced at least 3 times in public (not friends-locked and/or filtered) posts (not comments) around LiveJournal, InsaneJournal, or Dreamwidth". There must also be a reason for the rec. A good header to use would be:

Title:
Pairing:
Rating:
Summary:
Reason I'm rec'ing this fic:

According to the Snitch, "Mentions in any fandom newsletter or links to stories/artworks without an explanation why they're being recommended do not count as recs."

Once you have rec'd the fic on your journal or in a news letter, please post a link to the rec in the comments of the Original Collection Post.

Sorry for any confusion, this is my first time at this.

Rec On!

How to Bargain with Severus Snape, for Dani_Meows

From: Awickedmemory

Summary: Remus wants Severus to try something new tonight.

Rated: Gingerbread & Cocoa (PG)

Warnings: There's shirtlessness and a bed. Also, a bit of Jonathan Swift.

Notes: Fluff fluff fuff - because really, they've had enough angst for one lifetime. Happy holidays, Dani!

All in the Past, for Imera

From: Wolfiefics

Summary: Remus moves into Grimmauld Place, Severus gets nosy about Remus' past but finds he doesn't like what he discovers. He barges into Grimmauld Place and finds the past and present colliding, some pleasantly, some not so much.

Rated: Holiday Spice (R)

Word count: 10,864

Author's Notes: Used two of Imera's prompts -
-->Fic: Severus visits Grimmauld place 12 late one night, and meets both Sirius and Remus. Little does he know that that night Sirius will be submitting to him. (Threesome, D/s if you want)
-->Fic: After Lily is hurt by Severus, and goes to James, Remus decides to find Severus and comfort him, after all, he knows how it is to be an outcast.

I read the second prompt wrong and it didn't occur to me until after I was almost finished with the story that perhaps an "immediately following Lily going to James" was more what Imera was wanting. I took a more circuitous route but the end result was the same. Hopefully, Imera (and the Santa Elves) will forgive the slight detour. However, I think I can qualify on the first one! I do beg forgiveness on any Brit-isms I screwed up. I tried! Happy Holidays, whichever one you celebrate, Imera!

Warnings: Angst, threesome (Sirius/Severus/Remus), flashbacks

Hi there!

Just a reminder to all that if you rec one of the fabulous stories on the Snupin Santa Exchange, please leave a comment on the Rec Collection post so that when there are three for any fic, I can forward them to the Daily Snitch.

Hope everyone is enjoying the fest as much as I am!

As we pause today to give you all a chance to catch up on your reading and commenting, I have a personal request.
Usually, I manage to make some recs toward the end of the exchange. This year, because I'm organizing Snupin Santa, tradition will keep me from making recs during December. I'd love to see a reader who hadn't planned on reccing to go ahead and rec to take up my slack. Kind of like a vote exchange, right? ^_^ If you're willing to take this on, the reccing posts are here, just choose your platform: Livejournal, InsaneJournal, and Dreamwidth

I've only linked the web site links here, but don't forget that you can also comment on the journal posts for these works. Just check out the community on any one of the three journals we're using to post Snupin Santa!

Severus Snape and the Orders of the Phoenix, for Bonfoi

From: Ellid

Summary: Severus lost his dearest friend when Lily stepped in front of Tom Riddle's wand. He cannot stand by and let her child be raised by abusive Muggles, and if that means remaking the past to change the future, so be it.

Rated: Coal and Switches (NC17)

Word count: 10,094

Author's Notes: This is for Bonfoi, who requested, "Alternate Universe, Time Travel, Romance, Adventure, Post-First Voldemort War (Severus doesn't become a professor at Hogwarts). Trying to find a way to save Lily, Severus stumbles over Remus Lupin in the depths of an ancient Roman burial in Sussex. There, they duel over their past slights and awaken an ancient portal. Both of them fall, or run, through it during the heat of the moment and find themselves in the past. But whose past? Why is Aberforth Dumbledore passing them messages from "The Phoenix"? How were they ever going to get back? Rating: R to NC17." I hope I managed to get enough of these in, and that this makes your holidays merry and bright!

Warnings: Slight fudging of canon chronology, time travel and oblique references to another fandom that basically showed up and insisted on being included despite my best intentions.

Cho Cho, for Osmalic

From: Imera

Summary: Christmas morning with the family.

Santa was a little tired last night, so there will be two gifts today to make up for only one yesterday. Remember, one gift post on Saturday and Sunday will be a catch-up day - please write more comments and recs. We want you to make some noise, and let us know you're out there!


Ripples Of Kindness, for Nimrod_9

From: Unbroken_halo

Summary: Remus takes a stray into his home for the holidays.

Rated: Gingersnaps (PG13)

Word count: 4461

Author's Notes: Happy Snupin Santa, Nim, I hope you enjoy this. My betas shall remain nameless until the proper time; however, the assistance is greatly appreciated.

Warnings: Hurt/comfort, small bit of angst but a hopeful ending

A Romance in Reverse, for Alafaye

From: Azure_rosa

Summary: Severus goes on vacation, hoping for a little peace and quiet (is it him or are the brats getting worse and worse??) and finds Remus staying at the same hotel. When they get snowed in, conversation flows like wine and Severus wakes in the morning, thinking it couldn't have been more than a one-night-stand. But throughout the year, Remus sends letters and little gifts and Severus begins to hope. An invitation arrives in December for a rendezvous at the same hotel.

Rated: Holiday Spice (R)

Word count: 12,330

Author's Notes: Since Rowling never saw fit to tell us much about Curse-Breakers I pretty much made them the magic version of Archaeologists. The limited information about Remus' work I either pulled out of my own experiences on a dig or I made up out of whole cloth. I hope you find the story enjoyable. Many thanks to my betas, you know who you are, this wouldn't be anywhere near as good without your help!

Warnings: Pretty tame throughout, mentions of injuries from a severe fall, not explicit.

Rated: Coal and Switches (NC17)

Warnings: Prostitution, dub-con, violence, werewolf sex, bestiality, knotting

Word count: 13,416

Disclaimer: This is a work of fanfiction set in the Harry Potter universe – all recognisable characters and settings are the property of J. K. Rowling and her associates. No copyright infringement is intended. No profit is made from this work.

Author's Notes: Dear Serpenscript, I apologise profusely if this story is not to your liking. I actually took two of your prompts and molded them together. I really hope you don't mind.

1) Prostitute!Snape. He’s taught himself to be unfeeling and caustic; his ‘clients’ seek him out for novelty, humiliation, or revenge - except one, Remus is always kind. His kindness makes the casual cruelty of others seem even more so, but Sev craves those times when he’s treated like an equal, when society sees him as sub-human.(Similar theme to One Gold Galleon)

2) Post-war. Severus is reduced to whoring himself. When Remus approaches him wanting to try an extreme kink, Severus is desperate/hungry/cold enough to agree. Fisting? Werewolf sex? Impregnating Severus with his child? Heavy/extreme S&M?
