Title: Blast from the Past, V
Challenge: Village People
Word Count: 100 apiece
Note: this is yet another Motherless Child drabble series, wherein Snape and Lupin have married and adopted a young werewolf. In this series Johnny is a teenager.


"You had to bring up Sid Vicious. You had to." Severus glared at Remus once Johnny had gotten his electronics charm to work and gone off to look up "disco" on Mugglepedia. "I've done my best to forget that I ever met him."

"I've done my best to forget that I ever went to a Village People concert," said Remus. He shuddered at the memory. "Where did he find that old scrapbook?"

Severus shook his head, expression softening. "At least he didn't find the sex toys. I'm not sure we'd ever live those down."

Remus winced. "Or the Victorian porn."

7:41 am - Fic post: The Tichborne Claimant, 6/?
I can't believe I missed two whole months. I am SO made of fail....

Title: The Tichborne Claimant, 6/?
Rating: R
Warnings for domestic abuse, anti-Semitism
Summary: Johnny Lupin-Snape is getting ready for his bar mitzvah, and the rabbi has asked him to look into his family. Little does he know what this means to his fathers.
Notes: This is a sequel to Motherless Child, wherein Snape and Lupin marry and adopt an orphaned werewolf. Johnny, their son, is about 12 in this story, and digging up family secrets that Severus would much prefer to have buried. I will post one installment each month between now and October 2011 in honor of the 10th anniversary of the 'ship.
For the curious, here is the source of the title.

Part One can be found here. Part Two can be found here. Part Three can be found here. Part Four can be found here. Part Five can be found here

Title: Life on His Own, I
Challenge: Snape after Hogwarts
Word Count: 100


"He's gone?" Severus stared at the neatly dressed solicitor. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that your father disappeared six month ago and has not been seen since." The solicitor, brow wrinkled in the best professional manner, peered at him over black-rimmed glasses. "Your cousins claimed not to have a telephone number or address for your school, which made it impossible to locate you."

Severus deliberately flattened his palms against his legs. Had Mum's protective spells on the house survived her? "What should I do now?"

"I've prepared documents giving you legal authority for the time being. If you'll sign?"

11:23 pm - Haiti is devastated. Help me help them.
Help Haiti is a fandom auction to benefit survivors of the horrific earthquake that destroyed Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and killed uncounted thousands of people. I have offered several items to the auction, including:

- a sterling silver, moonstone, and freshwater pearl pendant that I wish to go to a good home.

- a complete set of the legendary KRAITH Star Trek fanzines.

- a hand-knitted novelty scarf in your choice of colors.

- a 2000 word fic.

Please, go bid, whether on me or someone else. This is a tragedy beyond measure, and every dollar is needed.

Title: Since There's No Place To Go, IV
Challenges: dance [info]snape100, "Oh the weather outside is frightful…." [info]lupin100
Word Count: 100
Note: this the end of the de-aged Snape plot that began months ago. He's now an adult with most of his memories, and has reunited with Remus Lupin. They just need to find a place to be alone….


"Admit it." Severus raised himself on one elbow. The only light in the room was the pale, luminous gray of a fresh snowfall from the window. "You missed me."

"I did." Remus ran a hand through his lover's shining hair.

"You were jealous of poor Smithers, taking me to the dance." Severus, skin smooth and young and unscarred, leaned down for a kiss. "Don't deny it. I saw the way you looked at us."

"I felt like a monster. You were so young. I wanted to give you a chance to grow up."

Severus chuckled. "No worry on that account."

7:47 am - Fic announcement
Some of you may recall my attempts at finishing NaNoWriMo in 2005. I had had an idea for a "Snape and Lupin in Nazi Germany" fic, and actually wrote about 9,000 words before the story stalled completely. I am very pleased to announce that, due to the urging of my friend Karen, the patience of [info]_lore, and the beta work of [info]red_day_dawning, [info]knitprincess, and [info]neonsatire, that situation has been remedied.

*drum roll*

Presenting my contribution to the Snupin: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut project:


Title: The Chemical Wedding of Albrecht Grindelwald
Rating: R for Nazi medico-magical experiments
Pairing: Snape/Lupin pre-slash
Illustrators: [info]mayflo, [info]shadowycat, [info]zephre

Summary: December, 1938. As Christmas approaches, Heidelberg, home of the Student Prince, prepares to host a great celebration. All is in readiness for the wedding of the Führer's favorite, Albrecht Grindelwald, as he prepares to take a young and beautiful bride: the castle, the guests, the spells that will ensure a long and fruitful marriage.

Only two men know why Grindelwald is to marry here, and marry now: Remus Lupin and Severus Snape. Why have they come from the future to disrupt the greatest moment of the Wizarding Reich?

8:40 pm - My thanks to....
[info]skree_ratling, for writing a fic that I absolutely 100% love: Once Upon A War. Parts of it won't make sense if you're not familiar with the SCA, but it had me longing for Cooper's Lake by the end of the first paragraph.

And for those who haven't seen it...

Here's my exchange gift to [info]arionrhod, Wedding Bell Blues. If you don't like Bridezillas or extreme snark, don't click...;)

7:43 pm - Belated Christmas thanks
To the following kind and generous people:

To [info]harpnfiddle, for a beautiful little Teneriffe lace butterfly.

To Una and her mother, for a plush bathrobe that nearly makes me swoon every time I put it on.

To [info]helwen, for a curious and very effective little "lotion bar" that looks like soap and becomes shea butter hand lotion when rubbed between the palms.

To [info]arionrhod, for a lovely flower arrangement with balsam, juniper, and a snowglobe.

To the anonymous fandom writer who fulfilled my request better than I could have imagined.

To everyone who sent me a holiday card and brightened my living room with reminders of friendship.

To Todd and Barbara, for a wonderful book on the Middle Ages.

To [info]bronze_ribbons, for a curious, elegantly quirky little book on the little-known and fascinating aspects of travel in Italy.

To all my friends, here and out in the world, for being you. *hug*

Here are my art recs. So much good stuff!

And one more fic rec:

Five Times Lupin and Snape Should Not Have Had Sex at Order Headquarters (But Couldn't Help It). Very, very funny fic that mixes lust, Snupin, Extendable Ears, and virginal voyeurs.

7:24 am - Princess Bride meme

When you see this, post in your own journal with your favorite quote from The Princess Bride. Preferably not "As you wish" or the Inigo Montoya speech.


(after long description of Count Rugen's eyes bulging out and face going black after he has a coronary):

It was disgusting, unless you liked that sort of thing.

Inigo loved it.
