    Fic Search
    I'm looking for a fic that I read a while ago, it was very long and epic and dark, and involved an intricate plot to take over the Death Eaters. Draco was a slave, and so was Harry, and Lucius changed the Dark Mark into a tattoo entwined with thorny roses, taking over. It was so long and so lovely, and I think it might have been lost with the death of GJ, but I'm requesting in hope that I just forgot to favourite it.

    Can anyone help me out? I think it might have been written for a fest.

    If this sort of thing isn't allowed, feel free to delete.

    Owl post to Ginny Weasley, Celyn Cottage, Wales
    Dear Ginny,

    The picture is brilliant, thank you, and I'd love to have lunch with you this week. Free as a snitch these days, I can meet you anywhere, anytime.

    It's good to hear from you, little sister, really good.

    Love,
    Bill

    Dear Bill,

    I found this the other day and thought maybe you might like a copy. Maybe, if you'd like, we might have lunch sometime this week. If you're free. Or week after, if that works better.

    Just let me know.

    Happy birthday, big brother.

    Love,
    Ginny

    Title: Troth

    Author: [info]celandineb

    Excerpt:

    It wasn't a wizarding restaurant, nor even a particularly high-class Muggle establishment for that matter. Cheap and mediocre Italian was the cuisine on offer, but the place close by and perfectly adequate for the days when neither of them felt like cooking. Severus confessed to liking the tagliatelle alla bolognese, while Remus was fond of the bread basket placed on every table. The owner's son was the baker, and the bread was always hot, fresh, and delicious.

    Commentary: Bread. Good Italian bread with rosemary - how can you go wrong? And I would totally have Remus's response to Severus, having been fed this bread first. (Well, I would anyhow, but you know what I mean.

    Recipe Project: Cheese and Onion Pie
    Title: Breaking Bread Together

    Author: [info]celandineb

    Excerpt:

    Remus glanced down and realised that he had reached across the table and taken Severus's hand in his enthusiasm. It was warm and bony and he could feel the calluses on Severus's skin before he hastily let go, murmuring an apology. To cover his embarrassment, he took a sip of wine. Severus had already had a bottle open, and it was excellent.

    They changed conversational topics to the less sensitive one of Quidditch as they ate the main course, another dish that Remus had never had and that Severus called a quiche. It was a sort of an egg pie, with bacon and onions and cheese mixed into the egg, and seasoned with subtle herbs as well. Like the rest of the meal, the flavour was simply marvellous, so much so that Remus was unembarrassed about asking for a second slice. Accompanying the quiche were cooked tomatoes, their sweet acidity complementing its richness.

    Severus, not having taken an additional helping, finished eating first, and watched Remus as he ate his last few bites, again with that inscrutable expression on his face. Remus's breath quickened under the heated gaze, and when he laid down his knife and fork, aligning them neatly on his plate, he ran his tongue over his lips to see how Severus would react.

    Commentary: Again, not exactly what Severus cooked, but I don't make real quiches. *g* This onion pie has onions and cheese and tomatoes (although no bacon) so it's kind of a combination of the two dishes mentioned in the story.

    Recipe Project: Russian Potato Soup
    Title: Breaking Bread Together

    Author: [info]celandineb

    Excerpt:

    Remus stood uncertainly in the kitchen doorway, watching Severus bustle around. His movements were deft and sure and altogether he gave off a rather depressing air of competence. Well, he had been first in their class in Potions every year, doubtless earning an Outstanding N.E.W.T., and cooking wasn't perhaps so different from potion making, when you got down to it.

    He didn't like to interrupt Severus's concentration and so he stood silently as Severus worked.

    "You could carry these to the table now, if you would." Severus indicated the several bowls and dishes that were ready, and Remus gladly complied.

    "It all looks marvellous," he complimented Severus as they sat down.

    Severus flushed. "Thank you."

    They began with three oysters on the half shell each, something that Remus had never before eaten, but which to his surprise he found delicious. The starter was followed by a light yellow soup, potato, he thought, but with something else as well, and bits of what he guessed might be mushroom, woody and complex in flavour.

    "This never came out of a tin, did it?" Remus asked, although he was certain in his own mind as to the answer. "Is it difficult? Do you have a recipe?" Not that he himself was much of a cook, but for something like this, he would be willing to put in more effort.

    "My own invention," Severus muttered. "No recipe. Er. How is new your job going?"

    Commentary: The color of this soup is very much what I imagined the soup Severus makes in the fic to have looked like, although there are no mushrooms in this recipe and certainly no aphrodisiac herbs!

    Quickie Mod Post, lots of reminders!

    There is exactly one set of Snape/Lupin offerings in [info]hp_art_tales, and it's mine. Submissions close today (November 29).

    The first point has been awarded in Stuff the Stockings! Remember, you have to go back to the main post and leave a link if you've been advertising [info]snupin_santa for the contest. Don't forget, there are fabulous prizes at stake, including your own copy of Chocolate & Asphodel, v. 2. (While you're waiting for the exchange to start, you might consider perusing C&A2 and offering some comments to the contributors)

    The Recipe Challenge is drawing to a close. November 30 is the last day for posts on the community. After that, it will be up to [info]drusillas_rain's discretion if she'll accept e-mailed entries as she works on compiling the book.

    Be sure to read over McKay's "Coming Soon" post for Snupin_Santa. There's lots of good information there, especially if you plan on participating in Stuff the Stockings.

    There are some new holiday icons here from [info]whitestar, but artists, we're still looking for more. In fact, Whitestar has offered to add her iconing touch to any art I can send her, so consider submitting some art soon if you want to see it receive the delux icon treatment. ~_^

    If you're involved in the Print Calendar project, your art is due December 15, don't forget in all the holiday madness!

    Speaking of calendars, I'm going to go ahead and remind you to switch to December's desktop calendar now. The art is by the very fun, very talented [info]tripperfunster, and it should be very useful in such a busy month!



    Finally, I want to thank all of the members here for being such great, generous participants in the community. There's been lots of searches and requests lately, and I'm seeing many new and different members speaking up to help out or volunteer. I'll never stop saying this - you are the reason this community continues to be a warm and friendly place for Lupin/Snape fans, and you're each wonderful and invaluable. Thank you all!

    LJ-only users, please forgive me for not making a post with LJ links, but I promise you that all the posts linked here have a LJ equivalent post. I'm just super-rushed because company is on my doorstep!

    [info]snupin_santa in less than two days! EEEE!

    Uh-oh.

    My requestee for [info] sga_santa requested a rarepair which I couldn't resist.

    And it's ending up with a totally different rarepair in the final scene. Shit.

    Any volunteers for a beta? I've been chopping at this fic rather ruthlessly trying to solve quite a few problems.

    November Blogging: day 29
    I've finally updated Takes the Cake with another chapter! Between grading, other work stuff, Snupin Santa, and preparing for the memorial service, I've had little free time in which I haven't felt totally exhausted and brain-dead, so the editing process on this story has ground to a screeching halt. I've been working on it as I can, though, so it shouldn't be too much longer before the remainder is up.

    Before anyone can pipe up to complain about posting WsIP in the first place:

    1) the story isn't a WIP; it's complete. It just hasn't been edited.

    2) I thought I'd be finished long before now! Normally, I either edit and post our collaborations all at one go or I edit quickly and post as I finish editing, which takes a matter of days at the most with a steady stream of updates along the way. Because of RL, things didn't work out that way, which happens.

    All I can say is, it's not our usual pattern to string things out this long without regular updates, which I hope our readers realize.

    Anyway, must zoom. I've got to get dressed and run out the door, but I wanted to post right quick first since I'm not sure when I'll get home tonight, and I didn't want to break my November Blogging streak this close to the end!

    AO3 + writing
    So I've been a very busy bee the last few days.

    ~I helped [info]alisanne by tagging some of the [info]adventdrabbles from the last two years (which starts again on Tuesday--mark you calendars!! *\o/* ).

    ~I finished (FINALLY) my Kinky Kristmas fic for [info]daily_deviant (thanks to [info]jadzialove for her expert beta skills ♥)-will email that in tonight.

    ~I just uploaded a bunch of fic to AO3. I have to say AO3 is pretty shiny. I haven't tagged my fics properly yet. But I did put up my collection of last year's adventdrabbles for example.

    Here's my list of works I've added so far. It's really cool to see the variety of fic all in one place. From fluff and romance to chan dub-con incest or bestiality. *vbg*

    Update
    Takes the Cake by Arionrhod and McKay has been updated with another chapter. It's up to ~32,000 words. Non-magical AU, rated R.

    Note: I realize this story is being updated more slowly than our collaborations usually are. It is finished, but I'm the one who does the editing and posting of our collaborations, and I'm not withholding it on purpose to make people wait for more; I'm editing and updating as I can after being body-slammed by the usual end-of-semester grading madness plus an unexpected RL event that has eaten up what little free time I have at present.

    I promise I will get the remainder edited and posted as soon as I can. However, I'd appreciate understanding and patience, rather than pointed comments about withholding feedback/ratings/whatever because it isn't finished.

    Thanks very much!

    *waves* Last two days to get any and all writing done for NaNo. I don't know about you guys, but this year's bunch has been wonderful. I'm proud to be a member of this community, and I'm very proud of all of you who took up the challenge.

    It doesn't matter if you wrote 10,000 words or a 100,000. The fact of the matter is, that you wrote. So pat yourselves on the back, then drink some more coffee and limp across that finish line.

    Post is up.

    Looking for fiction
    May I ask if anyone has on file the story "Revelations" by Adrienne? It is the third part of her (unfinished) trilogy, "Perdition", "Redemption" and "Revelations", one of the best early Snupins I've ever read, in spite of the depressing themes it addresses (incest and child abuse). I thought I had saved it, but have recently discovered that in last year's computer crash, it has been lost.

    Challenge #310: "The Unwritten Pairing"
    (Remember: drabble posts now appear on livejournal and insanejournal and dreamwidth)

    Challenge #310: "The Unwritten Pairing" This week's challenge might be a bit of a stretch in that you're being asked to write a drabble focusing on Snape paired romantically and/or sexually (but not necessarily graphically) with a character with whom you've never paired him before. (Note: for the fight-to-the-death OTP folks in the community, feel free to tell your drabble from the perspective of the "delusional" imagination of the other party. *g*)
