A/N 1: Many, many thanks to kindness of the
hp_darkarts's mods for the opportunity to dabble in the dark sandbox, and the extension so that this story could find its feet and come to fruition. To my sister, EmJay, for her editing and corrections, even if slash makes her break out in hives. To every Snupin lover out there who has given me encouragement and huzzahs—thank you one and all and a Blessed Yule to everyone!
A/N 2: Usually I write a long piece for
lupin_snape’s Snupin Santa Fest, but, this past year, I got an opportunity to play on the darker side of the Potterverse street. It was fun being anonymous, darker—even though I only went steely grey and not darkest black—and then bringing it back to pale, silvery grey. Any mistakes are mine and mine alone—I tweaked and nudged at EmJay's fine work all because my muses decided that I had to. To one and all, I hope you all had a great Christmas Holiday and are on the road to a bright and imaginative 2014!
