Fantasy Fest Fic!
At last!
Only 34 days late.
I claim obsessive thorough research, and there will be a post of extra geekage and photos when I can get to it.
Title: The Lightkeeper
Author: islandsmoke
Pairing: Remus/Severus, past Remus/Sirius, Remus/OMC
Rating: PG
Word Count: ~21,000
Fest/Challenge: Fantasy Fest 2010
Prompt/Summary: Remus is a lighthouse keeper, Snape's boat encounters a storm. Stranded together, UST, AU/AR.
Warnings: Non-magical AU, with huge amounts of geekage. Mentions of past abuse and death of loved ones. Strong angst. While there are chickens, there are no fluffy bunnies.
A/N: The setting is fictional although some of the events are not. I tried to be as historically accurate as possible, and am using extensive research as an excuse for being so inexcusably late. I thought of including a bibliography, but it just might be longer than the fic, so I settled for a few Story Notes at the end.
Now with Art! The fabulous fabledtruant created the illustration "Trim" (of Lupin's haircut) as a Snupin Santa gift for me. It is in part three.
Thank you for the wonderful prompt, Mystery Prompter, and I hope you enjoy the story, and huge thanks to hogwartshoney and aunty_marion for beta help and so much more. All errors, historical and otherwise, are mine.
