lupin big bang self-pimpage
well, my lupin big bang story is up here. it's actually been up for a few days, but my artist had real life difficulties, and i was holding off mentioning it here in hopes that she would get the art in. but as that seems quite unlikely at the moment, here it is. it's the kingpin (i.e., lupin/shacklebolt) story i started a long time ago, though snape insisted on a larger role than i had initially anticipated.
summary: Hearing reports of possible Death Eater activities in the New Forest, Dumbledore sends a team to investigate: Lupin, Shacklebolt, and Snape, who is none to happy about having to accompany the pair-especially now that he knows the two are, indeed, a couple.
warning (which i'm hoping will actually act as an enticement for some of you): Story contains mild violence and graphic slash of all kinds, as well as threesome, wanking, voyeurism, and possible exhibitionism.
it's called The Werewolf, the Auror, and the Potions Master.
teaser under the cut.
The Order meeting ended and, after finally extracting himself from Dumbledore's clutches, Severus Snape stepped into the Black family library to look for a particular volume he remembered having seen. As he searched the shelves near the door, he heard a peculiar muffled sound coming from a dark, secluded alcove near the window.
He wondered which of the younger denizens of the house had chosen that spot for a snog. He also wondered why they hadn't just gone to their room, given that all of the adults had been busy with the meeting. That fact suggested whoever it was, they weren't particularly bright, so Snape ruled out the Granger girl. Probably Potter and the Weasley girl. He was preparing to roust them out when he noticed that the back turned towards him was rather bulkier than Potter's-and in fact, bulkier than any of the Weasley boys. Wait-Is that-Shacklebolt! Shacklebolt snogging-whom? Just then, whoever it was pushed Shacklebolt against the wall, so Snape caught a side view of the pair. It only took him a second to recognize it was Remus Lupin who pressed Shacklebolt up against the wall, hands groping over his body before catching and holding his wrists.
it is the longest thing i've ever written. one of my favorite things about it is that, although it's the lupin big bang, i rather contrarily decided to tell the story from everyone else's pov except for lupin's. tee hee. oh, and karelia told me she thinks it's the best thing i've written. *preens*
thanks to everyone who listened to me freak out about it and who offered support and hand-holding. i really appreciate it, and i could not have done it without you all. *hugs*
