Notes: Beta work done by the lovely bonfoi. Oh! And because I'm curious to see if anyone will catch the allusion made by the title of the fic (not the chapter title, but "The Castle Gate"), I'm going to make this offer... The first person to accurately state what the title is from and why it relates to this fic will get a reward! I will draw you (almost) anything you want. =D

Now on to the fic...

Part 1

-----------------
( Fairytale time is over. Now for the simple truth of things. )

Part 3

This is the Masterlist for the Dark Side of Snape/Lupin challenge! Entries are divided by category – story or art – and are listed in the order they were posted.

If you posted your story in parts and didn't link them, I strongly urge you to do so because the Masterlist only links to the first part of all multi-part stories, and readers might have difficulty locating subsequent parts if you don't provide links.

If there are any errors or omissions, please leave a comment, and I wil fix it right away. And if you missed the deadline, you don't necessarily need to abandon the project! If you finish your prompt in the future, leave me a link here and I'll add it to the list.

(All entries should now be tagged, too, so if you'd rather browse that way, check out the Darkfic fest 08 tag on IJ, the Darkfic fest 08 tag on LJ, or the Darkfic fest 08 tag at bymoonlight. They each have slightly different content, since not everyone crossposted, but I think I caught everyone's submission at each journal. Leave me a comment here if I missed yours!)

Still looking for more dark Snupin? Go back and browse through the 2007 Masterlist as well!

Thanks to everyone who participated, and to the lupin_snape mods for letting me use their sandbox for the month! Check back in next year, everyone – hopefully we can do it all again. :)

Note: Some authors and artists locked their entries. If you can't access them, be sure you have followed the rules to become a member of this community.

Author: Jules Noctambule
Pairings: RL/SB; RL/SS (implied)
Rating: R
Warnings: None I can really think of, actually -- someone correct me if I'm wrong!
Notes: Short and probably not as dark as should be expected.

Word count: ~105,000
Link to all chapters, if you prefer chaptered: here.
Notes: The story wouldn't have looked quite as nice, had it not been for the strict envinyatar15 and the faithful red_day_dawning who used their precious time to look the chapters over and remove my most glaring errors. Thanks, both of you.
Summary: Severus Snape returns to a post-war wizarding world without the Dark Lord. No matter the Dark Lord died, his followers still won the battle and the power to rule. In this new world, former Order members are forced to get by as best they can - those who haven't escaped - even if the occupation is not to their liking. Some have even become quite successful and sought after - like the infamous Remus Lupin. The question is: will this new world order make it impossible for love to develop and grow between two such different wizards as a Death Eater spy and a paid man, a werewolf whore?

Title: Interview with the Devil
Author: snegurochka_lee
Characters: Snape/Lupin, Tonks
Rating: NC-17
Word count: ~7,600
Warnings: Infidelity, non-con and some resulting trauma, DH-compliant marriages, pregnancies and deaths
Summary: Three souls in hell. If they have an hour to talk about anything they'd like, they will end up putting their worst sins on the table in less than ten minutes. It's human nature, after all, and the finest form of punishment.
Notes: Written for the 2008 Dark Side fest, woo! Based very loosely on a prompt cordelia_v mentioned many months ago, but she probably won't recognise it after the wringer I've put it through. That is to say, this really isn't her fault. Many thanks to summerborn, florahart and islandsmoke for the super helpful beta work.
Soundtrack: A selection of angry Fiona Apple: On the Bound | Limp | Get Gone | I Know.

Summary: Long time waiting.
Author's Notes: I felt I should do something serious for the Dark Side fest, having already destroyed one prompt with a very dodgy moustache. (also, check out me using the form for once!)
Interpret at will.

Summary: Post-war AU – the discovery of unexpected images in Severus's Foe-glass leads to dire and strange consequences…
Author's notes: Written for the lupin_snape '08 Dark Side Challenge, with the prompt "Foe-glass". This was the second prompt I received from snegurochka_lee, the fest's guest-mod, after I'd already written the two earlier fics to the first prompt, "ghost". Thanks!
Thanks to the LiveJournal communities: little_details and latin for their extensive help creating this surprisingly challenging spell-name. (And I, in my ignorance, thought it would be so simple – just translate "Mirror of Dangers", no? NO.)

Aspectus Infestorum

Challenge: Dark Side of Lupin/Snape
Summary: After barely being saved at the end of the battle, Severus finds himself at the mercy of the Ministry and its 're-education' program for people like him.
Disclaimer: Severus Snape and his friends and colleagues were not created by me.
A/N: Written for the Dark Side challenge, to the prompt "Resurrection Stone." This is actually the second fic I wrote for the prompt, because the first one needs work that I'm not doing a very good job of managing right now. It may or may not come clear before the end of the month; if it does, I'll post it, too. Thanks to vimeslady and leni_jess for beta and reassurance.

Challenge: Dark side of snupin ’08
Disclaimer: JK Rowling and Warner Bros own all characters and settings depicted here. No money is being made from this story.
Notes: Thanks to snegurochka_lee for organising the second Dark Side of snupin challenge. I swear this story did come about from the prompts you gave me, though in the end neither the Marauder’s Map nor Hagrid’s Hut made it. *g*

Rating: PG-13
Highlight for Warnings: *canon character deaths, zombies, obscure magic, general weirdness*
Word Count: 1,168
Summary: What is dead should stay dead.

Notes: This possibly takes the cake of all the odd fics I've written yet. In answer to lupin_snape's May Challenge: the Dark Side of Lupin/Snape, though I'm not using the prompt I was given. Inspired by HIM's "Resurrection"; I've been meaning to write this fic since maybe '05, though I didn't anticipate it would be quite like this. Beta'd by the lovely zebraspots05, who made this hopefully readable. (Are you scared yet of reading? :P)

We're at the halfway point in May already (!), so I wanted to check in again with our Dark Side of Snape/Lupin fest writers, artists and readers/viewers/commenters!

We've had a great group of entries already posted, and I'm sure the rest of you are hard at work on your submissions. Remember that this is the May Challenge for this community, so we'll be moving on to a different challenge in June. There aren't any "late" penalties here, but I'll post the Masterlist in early June, and you'll want to be on it! I hope everyone is still geared up to finish writing/drawing by the end of the month.

Readers/viewers, I hope you're enjoying the fest as well! Remember we've got a handy tag for all the entries, if you'd like to scroll around to see what you've missed. Click on the prompt: darkfic fest '08 tag, and that will take you to all the entries posted.

If you saw something you enjoyed, go ahead and leave a few words of feedback for the creator! Not all of the themes this month will be everyone's cuppa, we know, but if you do enjoy a piece go ahead and let the creator know. I know they'd love to hear from you. :)

Lastly, the sign-up post is still open, if you need a new prompt or further inspiration.

Let me know if you have any issues or questions! And let the Dark Side be with you... mwahahaha. :)
