Note: For [livejournal.com profile] snupin100 challenge #21, feathers, and [livejournal.com profile] lupin100 challenge #62, fortitude.


When Lupin wakes he finds that he has shredded his pillow, biting and clawing as if there had been a full moon. The feathers have burst from the case. They stick to his face and neck, damp with sweat, tickling like the ends of lanky hair falling onto his skin.

He races to the bathroom to wash them off, yet the feeling lingers, as if the man from his dream had come to his bed and touched him very differently. But that never happened. Snape is a murderer. There is no waking from this nightmare; it can only be endured.

Challenge: #7, "You want me to put that where?"
Note: Sequel to this one, by request of [livejournal.com profile] duestar.


"You liar, Snivellus!" the painting shouted. "Moony would never!"

"I've lived in your house for three years, Black," Snape gloated. "Lupin says he's happier than he's ever been. He still loves to have that scar on his lip nibbled. He makes those moaning noises if..."

"Shut up! I don't believe you!"

Sixteen-year-old Sirius, immortalized in this unfinished formal portrait, sounded just like Severus remembered. "Why do you think you're in a basement closet?" he demanded. "Remus put you here because I asked nicely."

"You must have hexed him!"

The boy looked so forlorn that Snape almost felt sorry for him.

Challenge: #7, "You want me to put that where?"


"You want me to put that where?"

The look Severus gave his lover suggested that he had gone mad. "On the mantel, over the fireplace," repeated Remus, cocking his head. "What's wrong? You don't want other people to see it?"

"I don't want to see it!" The vehemence in Severus' voice made Remus blink. "It may evoke pleasant memories for you, but it's humiliating for me. I refuse to be forced to look at that in my own parlor."

"All right," Remus conceded after a moment. "I'll put Sirius' photo somewhere more private."

"I'd prefer in the fireplace," Snape muttered.

Challenge: #6, from bad to worse.


He shouldn't have kissed Lupin at the party. But they'd both been drunk, and even Lupin didn't blame him.

Then he shouldn't have let Lupin kiss him in the library when they both were sober. But, after all, it was only a kiss.

He certainly should not have gone to Lupin's room, where kissing led to hands in inappropriate places and very messy clothes. But afterward they both pretended it was just kissing.

And he really shouldn't have let Lupin kiss him on his bed, where things proceeded quite inevitably. But it wasn't as if he could stop the wolf.

Challenge: #5, Caught


"Feeling better, Severus?"

"Not entirely. Why am I in your bed?"

"I suppose it's because you talk in your sleep."

"I do not."

"Don't worry, you didn't divulge any Death-Eater secrets."

"I have no secrets not already known to the Headmaster."

"That must be why he put me in charge of your convalescence."

"Lupin..."

"Yes? Oh. I suppose you want to know what you said. Mostly my name, and 'please'..."

"You took advantage of me during my infirmity?"

"Not 'took advantage'! You were begging."

"And you capitulated? You said I was asleep!"

"Hah! So you do talk in your sleep!"

Valentines

I tried to write a Valentine drabble for this challenge, and it ran away with me -- instead it's a dozen drabbles, 1200 words, so I left it in my journal instead of here: Valentine. I also remembered that I had, in fact, written a Snupin Valentine drabble more than a year ago, so I may as well repost it:


Title: Be Mine
Author" [livejournal.com profile] cruisedirector

Challenge: Valentine's Day. Originally written for the wizarding photos challenge at [livejournal.com profile] hp100.


When he opens the Valentine, Remus knows that Severus has not meant to be cruel but adoring in the awkward manner of a lovestruck loner. He also suspects that Severus did not intend for Remus to identify him as the sender, for Severus does not know of Remus' preternaturally strong sense of smell.

Nor could Severus have guessed at the pain Remus would feel from the image on the card, a magically created photo of himself waving under a romantic moon, with "Dreaming Of You" printed across the bottom. Remus hopes that the quiet boy never witnesses the true nightmare.

Note: This is probably cheating for the challenge as it hooks into a series I wrote, but it insisted upon being written anyway, so I figured I'd post it. The series is here and is quite NC17.

"You're smiling, Lupin."

"Has the Ministry passed an edict against smiling?"

"I merely wondered why, since you were looking at me."

"Oh. I suppose I was."

"Well? What's so amusing?"

"I was thinking...hemlock."

"'Hemlock.'"

"That's right. Hemlock, Severus."

"I see."

"Do you?"

"I suppose I should have said 'I hear.' Or 'I understand.'"

"Do you promise?"

"I do."

"But do you concur?"

"...hemlock."

"As in, stop?"

"As in, hemlock."

"Are you only repeating it because I said it?"

"When have I ever repeated anything just because you said it?"

"An excellent point, love. That is, hemlock."

"You're still smiling."

Challenge: #1, secrets.


After class, Potter approaches, looking nervous.

"It's about Sirius. And Lupin. Were they...?" An awkward clasping gesture. "They were, weren't they."

So the brat's finally figured out his godfather was a poof. Snape doesn't pretend not to understand. "Why ask me? Obviously you've already guessed."

"I was wondering whether you were, um, jealous." Snape stares. "I know you hated Sirius. And Lupin seems so miserable now, it scares me, and I thought..."

"Stay out of my business, Potter," hisses Snape. It isn't possible that the boy has read such thoughts, safe in the Pensieve.

But is it possible he's right?
