Secret Snupin Santa
Well, Secret Snupin Santa Exchange is over, and all the names and gifts are in the open!!! This has been the first time I have participated in an exchange like this, and I loved it.
kinky_kneazle was my particular Snupin Santa (thank you!!!), who wrote Why Didn't We...? for me; a very sad story, post HBP. I certainly requested drama-angst, and got a full cup for that. I requested a happy end, too… but it was not to be. *sniff* Beautiful story, anyway.
My gift was a picture for xochiquetzl, tittled The Winner Collects; based in one of her fics (of course, hot smutty Snupin NWS. Go check!).
I feared that I wouldn't be able to complete my task since I've been so busy, but I made it out quite early, and got posted in the first week of the running exchange. And… surprise-surprise, my art must be incredibly characteristic, because in the posterior guessing poll, it seems I was 100% correctly identified by those who voted on my work…! should I feel smug? ;D
And I confess... I've spend time reading the entries (not all of them, sadly), and some of the fics posted were simply wonderful. There were tons of marauder-era and post HBP (and post war) fics, and those two are my favorite timeframes for Snupin. So, here are my recs:
1. schemingreader wrote Intention for stasia
Marauder-era. Bits of Severus home-life, a very sweet if determined Remus Lupin. It had been time since I read a teenager Snupin so deliciously angsty, so well-written.
2. vaughn7272000 wrote The Absolutely True Adventures of a Kinky Werewolf (Or What a Potions Master Really Wears Under Those Robes) for shadowmouse86
Vaughn is a wonderful woman, and an marvellous writter. Of course she would write this jewel. The first sentence of the fic suffices: "Severus Snape wears knickers! Frilly, girly knickers!"
Hot and angsty, with a wonderful end.
3. musigneus wrote This Wild Rain for paraphobic
OMG. Post HBP; dark and bittersweet. It broke my heart, and almost brought tears to my eyes. Very, very sad, and incredibly powerful.
4. arionrhod wrote Time and Again for cruisedirector
Post-HBP. A very long story, containing one time paradox where our dour Potion Master is trapped. A truly brillian tale, where Snape's characterition is austoundingly perfect.
5. stasia wrote Light Breaking In for athenakt
Post HBP. Again a long story… Severus find that things are not as he expected them to be after the war is over. Very sweet, wonderfully written.
6. chazpure wrote Eyes of the Beholder for ellid
http://www.livejournal.com/community/lupin_snape/453176.html
This could be the previous fic companion piece. This time, is Remus who is recovering… with some aid. Very beautiful and pregnant story.
7. rexluscus wrote Wormwood for cs_whitewolf
Post HBP. One Snupin containing one Harry Potter, and I loved it! Maybe because this fic is… disturbing. Worth reading.
8. cruisedirector wrote The Tumid Courtship for meneathiel
Lupin woos Snape via balloon animal presents left anonymously. So funny and sweet… Snarky Snape this way.
9. snegurochka_lee wrote Match Point (Unforgiven) for rexluscus
Post HBP. Lupin pays Snape one final visit on the night of Snape's execution. This is darkfic, people. Powerful, complex, heartbreaking.
10. bicyclette wrote Lunacy for koboldkind
Post Prank fic, one of my favourites themes. Remus needs to talk to Severus… and Severus has his conditions. Angsty and hot.
And of course... Merry Christmas to you all!
