bronze_ribbonsGotta crash through more work before I fall over, but you shouldn't wait for a proper rec before treating yourself to these:
"Handel with Care" - Snape/Lupin, NC17, 12K - anon
http://community.livejournal.com/lupin_snape/923870.html
Author's summary: After the War, Remus finds that Severus is serving a most unusual probation.
My prompt: "Snape and Lupin somehow becom[ing] involved with(in) one of Handel's operas. Bonus points for snide remarks about the 'Hallelujah Chorus' and/or Hanoverian royalty."
Written for me! Fabulously detailed and sly and knowing, and there are all manner of deft little touches (Religio Medici, babe!Millicent, Snupin-McGonagall friendship, to name just a few) that suggest the author is either on my friendslist and/or is a really astute observer (granted, there's a lot of overlap between the two *g*), because this story is so mine. *more happy flailing*
Title: Salix Narcissa

Y'all can't blame me for this one, which is too bad, because I'd like to be -- it's splendid and tender and surprising and it isn't crack. Honest. Here's the opening paragraph:
"Storm Break" - Snape/Lupin, PG13, 5K - anon
http://community.livejournal.com/lupin_snape/922386.html
Summary: Severus find a chance for happiness at precisely the worst possible time.
Snape and Lupin from OotP on: difficult, proud, intense, and irresistibly drawn to possibilities they insist on resisting -- rendered with skill and knowingness and glimmers of sardonic humor:

"Had enough of our latest operatic star?" A voice he hadn't heard since term ended jerked him out of his reverie. "Don't worry, Lupin. You aren't the only one who thinks he sounds like a thestral with colic."

Y'all can't blame me for this one, which is too bad, because I'd like to be -- it's splendid and tender and surprising and it isn't crack. Honest. Here's the opening paragraph:
The Whomping Willow liked Hermione, against all odds. She wasn't the type to playfully toss ribbons into its branches, as Lily Evans had done, or to slip in and out at night like Remus, and later Gideon and Fabian. Instead she tended to lay quietly in the grass, far enough away that the willow didn't feel tempted to reach for her, but close enough that it could feel the soft, cool vibrations of her voice when she spoke.

Snape and Lupin from OotP on: difficult, proud, intense, and irresistibly drawn to possibilities they insist on resisting -- rendered with skill and knowingness and glimmers of sardonic humor:
"Greyback may be the most vicious werewolf in Britain," Lupin scolded. "But he also gossips more than a fishwife on wash day. According to him, you've fallen out of favor; someone has been assigned a task they are almost guaranteed to fail; and if they do, you stand to be punished as well. After months living with the packs, I'm not so naïve as to think that punishment will be a slap on the wrist with an admonishment to do better next time. So, tell me where I should have stopped worrying?"
