Characters: Snape/Lupin
Remus' eyes widened in shock. "You aren't serious!"
Severus scowled. "I don't see a problem with it. I thought you'd like the idea."
"You did? Why in the world..." He couldn't continue. "I'm... speechless."
"Fine. I'll never suggest it again."
A sigh escaped Remus. "Honestly, Severus, why you would think that I would like to go celibate for our anniversary?"
"You dolt, I said go celebrate for our anniversary!" Severus glared at him. Remus wasted no time wrapping both arms around him.
"Well, in that case, I'm game," Remus growled, nuzzling Severus' neck.
Severus smirked. "I thought you might be."

"To everything there is a season," Severus murmured, staring at the crypt. Remus looked at him, startled.
"The Bible, Severus?"
Dark eyes glittered. "Did you think me incapable of faith? I couldn't have survived the war without it."
Remus nodded and inclined his head at the white marble which housed Albus Dumbledore's body. "So... is it now time to mourn? Or time to dance?"
"I don't dance," came the reply. "But... perhaps a celebration is in order. Somehow, I don't think the old man would mind."
"Neither do I," replied Remus, reaching out to take Severus' hand. "Neither do I."

The drink had an umbrella. A pink umbrella. Somehow, sipping a girly drink on a sunny beach on Corfu was the last place Remus had expected to encounter Severus Snape.
"Fancy meeting you here," he said, dropping down to sit on the sand at Severus' feet. And very attractive feet they were. So was the body revealed by the deep green swimsuit.
"The war is over, Lupin. I'm celebrating." Sunglasses slipped down a nose as pink as his umbrella.
"By getting sunburned?"
"No, by looking for you." Severus smirked. "Care to celebrate with me?"
Remus grinned; surprisingly, he did.

The Ministry costume gala to celebrate the end of the war was a great success, but Remus felt apart from them, unable to forget how dear the price of victory.
A dark form crossed the floor toward him, the crowds parting and falling silent in his wake. Severus had disdained a costume, but Remus felt his heart lighten as Severus stopped, holding out a hand to him.
"No mask?" he asked, laying his hand lightly on top of Severus'.
"No more masks, not ever." Then Severus kissed him in front of the entire crowd, and Remus knew he meant it.

Challenge: #50 - Celebration
Characters: Remus, Albus
"Why so glum, dear boy?"
Remus looked up at Albus' benignly smiling portrait, giving a wistful smile and a shrug. "I shouldn't be, I know. Here I am, a werewolf, a war hero, Headmaster of Hogwarts. Voldemort is dead, I have a home and a job and friends..."
"But it isn't enough."
The statement was firm, and Remus sighed and nodded. "No, it isn't. For all the good, I wonder..."
"Severus is living in Surrey. He loves you. Always has."
Startled, Remus stared at Albus, and then he grinned. For the first time, he felt he had something to really celebrate.

Severus scowled at the moving swirls of purple icing on the top of the cake, and then he turned his glare at the balloons floating around the room, cycling through a rainbow of eyeball-searing colors. Cheerful music played far too loudly for his taste, making him want to scream.
A hand slipped into his, and Remus' voice murmured in his ear. "Thank you, Severus. He'll love it."
He was about to respond tartly when Albus' ghost appeared, clapping his hands and beaming with delight. Severus totally missed the loving look in Remus' eyes, watching Albus enjoy his 200th birthday party.

Remus exited the small cubicle, and Severus immediately rose from the waiting-room seat.
"It's done?" Severus asked.
Remus nodded, smiling beatifically. "It hurt like hell, but... it was worth it."
Remus held up his arm, displaying the pale skin of his wrist, bare of the tattooed registration number that had adorned it, marking him as a Dark creature. A legacy of the war, of ignorance and fear, now gone forever.
"This calls for a celebration," Severus said, as Remus pulled him into his arms.
"I am celebrating," Remus replied, and he kissed Severus, their first kiss both as free men.

When Severus arrived home, he found a candlelight dinner awaiting him. The fine china was set out, and all his favorite dishes had been prepared. He froze, his mind racing. Had he forgotten an anniversary? No, that was in October. Remus' birthday? No, that was in March.
"What's the occasion?" he asked as Remus sauntered toward him, wearing only a silk dressing gown.
"No occasion," Remus purred, winding his arms around Severus and drawing him into a kiss. "I thought just loving you and being loved in return was cause enough for celebration."
Severus held him close. "So it is."
