Friday Fic Rec: On the Dynamics of an Asteroid
There was a discussion on this thread about Holmes/Watson fic, so I thought a Snupin fic with a bit of unrequited Holmes/Watson would be a good rec for today.
Title: On the Dynamics of an Asteroid
Author: Ellid
Pairing: Snape/Lupin, Holmes/Watson (unrequited)
Rating: R
Summary: The last Death Eater has a cunning plan. Remus and Severus must travel to the past to stop her.
Warning: Torture, some rather disgusting obstetrical/alchemical details
Archived at: Moonshadow. They request that people link only to the warning on the home page since it contains explicit fics, but the story can easily be found by an author or title search.
It's a post-war, non DH-compliant fic in which Snape and Lupin are an established couple and must go back in time to track down a Death Eater who escaped from prison and stole a Time Turner. She intends to seek out Moriarty to enlist his help in casting a powerful spell that will essentially resurrect the Dark Lord. Naturally, Holmes gets entangled in all this. There's a really lovely and poignant scene near the end where Holmes deduces that Snape and Lupin are lovers, and when Snape asks how he knew, Holmes replies, "Sugaring another man's tea to perfection is rather too obvious." I love that line. ^_^
It's part of a Snupin series, but you don't need to have read the other stories to be able to follow this one.
