Sequel to: Scars, and the non-Snupin story Ash's Wand

Summary: Set in October of the school year following the end of Scars. This story came about after I bought a pumpkin latte at the local coffee shop, and I started wondering if the wizarding world would welcome the equivalent of Starbucks.

I can now reveal the super-sekrit project I've been working on--a birthday gift for lupin_snape mod lore! I didn't dare breathe a word because it was supposed to be a surprise, and I didn't want to be the one to give it away. ;) You can go read the fic and find lots of other great stories and art on the special birthday comm talesoflore!

Title: A Snupin Birthday in Japan
Rating: PG
Pairing: Snape/Lupin
Word count: ~7,550
Disclaimer: No money is being made off this story; consider it a little wish fulfillment on my part.
Summary: On Teddy's seventh birthday, Remus reflects on the past and how he, Severus, and Teddy came to live in Japan.

Author's note: This story borrows the OC Kamiyama from my Always series, but this is a stand-alone story and not part of the series.

Appropriately, the inspiration for this story came from Lore's wonderful Snupin ficlet Thaw. I planned for this to be a short little ficlet about Snupin-with-Teddy and sushi, but me being me, of course it spun off into something much longer! ^_^

I had already planned to write this story before portus_envy (also unofficially terminus_envy, and soon to be hpcon_envy) was created, but in honor of the comm, I threw in references to Lupin attending an anime convention, and Snape a Potions symposium! ^_^

Title: Watching Videos

Word count: ~7240
Disclaimer: No money is being made off this story; consider it a little wish fulfillment on my part.
Warning: AU; part of my Always series, but you don't need to have read the other stories to follow this chapter.
Sequel to: Fathers' Day (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3) and Vanilla.

Summary: The further adventures of Snape and Lupin at the love hotel. (More silliness than smut!)

Special thanks to: myene_01, who not only suggested the title of the video, but came up with the porn names for most of the characters as well! ^_^ I wasn't quite as creative, so the silly but non-smutty names are mine.

Author's note 1: For readers who are unfamiliar with the previous stories or the Japanese concept of love hotels, they are places where rooms are rented out, hourly or for the night, specifically as a place for couples to go and have sex.

Sorry to spam my friends who are also on snapedom and lupin_snape, but I wanted to make sure that my fanfiction list here is complete. I've posted my second Summer Fest entry over at Snapedom:

Title: The Werewolf Jamboree
Pairings: Snape/Lupin
Rating: PG
Word count: 6,540 (not counting afterword)
Disclaimer: No money is being made off this story; consider it a little wish fulfillment on my part.

Summary: Written for Snapedom's Summer Fest exchange, and based on the_bitter_word's art, The Annual Werewolf Jamboree and Bake-Off. Snape and Lupin are invited to the Werewolf Jamboree and Bake-Off.

Author's notes: This is a stand-alone fic, and not part of my Always series. Takes place post-war, using some canon elements, although I've twisted them around to suit my needs. For the purposes of this story, it is assumed that the werewolves transform into a hybrid wolf-humanoid form during the full moon, rather than a normal wolf.

The story can be found here on Snapedom, or at my personal LJ.

Title: Snupin Meme
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Snape/Lupin
Word count: 611
Disclaimer: No money is being made off this story; consider it a little wish fulfillment on my part.

Summary: Inspired by this meme by dacian_goddess on the Portus Envy LJ; prompt: Severus can't get somebody's clothes off fast enough (or vice versa).

I've posted my entry for Summer Fest over at snapedom:

Title: The Return of the Slytherins
Pairings: Gen, but with a few slashy hints if you look at it the right way.
Rating: PG-13
Word count: ~19,420 total
Disclaimer: No money is being made off this story; consider it a little wish fulfillment on my part.

Summary: Written for Snapedom's Summer Fest exchange, and based on the_bitter_word's art, Severus Crossing the Hogwarts Lake. Snape survives Nagini's attack, and returns to fight in the battle at Hogwarts--and is surprised when his Slytherins want to join him.

Author's note: For readers of my Snupin stories, the Theodore and Blaise here are based on the canon version of the characters, not the the Theo and Blaise from the Always series, although I did borrow the character of Serafina Avery to help round out the Slytherins. Hope that doesn't confuse anyone.

The snapedom entries can be found here: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

And I have also cross-posted to my LiveJournal: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

Technically, it's gen, but I've tagged it as "snupin" since it has slashy hints, and I plan to write an outright Snupin sequel in the future.

Here are a couple of the side stories I've been promising, companion pieces to "Fathers' Day" and "Scars". The first is a Snupin, and the other features Tsubasa and his parents. Since Snape and Lupin don't appear in the second piece but it's still part of the Always series, I'm posting them together so that I can promote this on lupin_snape without violating the community rules.

Title: Vanilla
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Snape/Lupin
Word count: 977
Disclaimer: No money is being made off this story; consider it a little wish fulfillment on my part.
Warning: AU; introduced several OCs and made a major departure from canon by the end of the Book 5 timeline. (And Snape is a pureblood, since the series was started pre-Book 6.)
Sequel to: Fathers' Day (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3)

Summary: This is just a little side story I wrote to go along with Fathers' Day. I've run across a lot of stories where Snape and Lupin experiment with cross-dressing, BDSM, sex toys, etc. and there's nothing at all wrong with that, but it made me think that my tastes are rather vanilla in comparison. And somehow that turned into a plot bunny! ^_^

Sequel to: Scars

Summary: A missing scene from Scars, shortly before Ash and Tsubasa's wedding takes place. When I wrote the scene where Reiko and Tsubasa first saw the robe in the Gladrags shop window, I intended for him to buy it and give it to her later, but I completely forgot about it until after the story was completed. So here is the scene that should have been in the story!

Summary: This was written for Family Fest on lupin_snape. Next on the Father's Day agenda is a boat ride and picnic, but once again, things do not go according to plan.

Author's notes: For those not familiar with the series, Snape and Lupin adopted two orphaned sons of Death Eaters after the war ended. Snape adopted Theodore Nott as his legal heir, and Dylan Rosier, son of Evan, is their foster son.

And much thanks to: red_day_dawning, bonfoi, jbfrancis2000, shipchan, and persevero for giving me some excellent plot bunnies to work with when I had writer's block!

Author's Notes: Not canon-compliant; assumes that all the main characters survived the war, and the details aren't really necessary for this story. I threw in a wink-wink nudge-nudge reference to a character from my Always series, but the story can stand on its own. 

Summary: Remus is depressed that his birthday happens to fall on the night of the full moon.

Part 1
Part 2

Hey everybody, go check out the awesome artwork that </a></strong></a>karasu_hime made for me for the Trading Places challenge! One piece is the full moon scene from Summer Vacation, where Lupin and the Japanese werewolves and kitsune (fox-spirits) change into their animal forms while Snape watches. The boy is Naoki, an OC, the grandson of Snape's Japanese host, and he looks so cute here that I want to write a new story centered around him, although he was just a minor character that I never really intended to bring back again. I love how his face looks a little foxish, since he's half-kitsune, although he can't change into a fox-shape like the other members of his family. He and Snape were feeling just a little bit left out in the beginning of this scene, being the only two humans watching all the canines frolic. ^_^ Love the cute little black wolf/fox cub, Miyako, too!

The second piece is a collage of scenes from my Always series--mostly from the first story "Always," from which the series takes its name; Summer Vacation is the second story in the series. It's so great, it's like seeing an overview of the history of their relationship! And in the bottom right corner are the two little wolf-figurines that Miyako made for them in Summer Vacation--they're supposed to represent Snape and Lupin, of course, and they have the red cord tying them together. (If you haven't read the story, it's in reference to a Japanese legend that people destined to be lovers are bound together by a red cord--this theme also shows up in the anime series Kimagure Orange Road, which is where I first heard of it.)

Even if you haven't read my stories, you should still go check out the pictures just to appreciate the beautiful artwork that Karasu did--I'm sure any Snupin fan will enjoy them. And as an added bonus, you get to see Snape in a kimono in the first piece!

If you're interested, my stories can be found here, on my website (scroll down to the middle of the page for the Always series), or on the Moonshadow archive by author ("Geri"), title, or series.

Ack! The deadline for the Trading Places challenge was yesterday, and I haven't finished my second piece yet, so I'll post the first two chapters, and I'll get the rest up as soon as possible. I blame it all on Sirius, who insisted on hogging the spotlight and made the story longer than I had planned! ;-)

Author's notes: Originally, this was going to be a stand-alone story, but I decided instead to make it a "missing scene" from Scars, a long story in my ongoing Always series, since I never covered Valentine's Day in that story. However, I've written it so that you don't need to have read Scars in order to follow it. All you need to know is that Lupin and Snape are in an established relationship, and are living together post-war at Hogwarts.

Summary: Written for the Valentine's Day party at </a></strong></a>snapedom; prompt: chocolate. Remus prepares a special Valentine's treat for Severus, but things go awry...

Snape is reluctantly willing to share Lupin with Tonks, but when Lupin threatens to leave him, Snape decides to use a magical heirloom to bind Lupin to him forever.
