Title: Indentured Servant, for serpenscript

From: Your Secret Snupin Santa

Summary: The wizarding world has no parole system, and this leaves Severus Snape only two choices: Life in Azkaban, or an Indenture Contract.

Rated: Coal and Switches (NC17)

Warnings: Dark!Remus, bit of a slave fic, semi non-con, abuse. Bad cockney accents.

A/N: The indenture contract is almost word for word a replica of one from 1773. So no, it’s not full of typos…it’s historical! And for Severus’ outfit during the indenture, think long sleeve scrubs.

My prompt was: “5. Cliché again! Slave!fic, post HBP: The Ministry binds Snape to Remus as a slave, permanently. He must wear a slave collar, belled anklets & restrictive slave bracelets, & brew wolfsbane. Lastly, they add a clause preventing him from coming without his Master's touch/permission. But the brewer's semen is required for wolvesbane! I'd like to see angry, vengeful Remus taking advantage of/humiliating Snape, then slowly falling for him as the truth about DD's death comes out.”

Title: A Tutor for Teddy, for rip-von-christ

From: Your Secret Snupin Santa

Summary: Remus hires Teddy a tutor, but it's Remus who ends up learning a thing or two.

Rated: Holiday Spice (R)

Prompt: Post DH AU - Remus lives and is a single father. Teddy is reaching the age where he's ready for a tutor, but Remus is still only marginally employed and is largely surviving on his widower's pension from the Aurors. He advertises for a tutor and finds the perfect candidate - who turns out to be a disguised Severus. Smut a plus! ;)

Notes: Happy Christmas, Omni! I hope this satisfies on all levels! Many thanks also to my betas L, A and the letter D!

Title: A Sirius Wish, for sweetmelodykiss

From: Your Secret Snupin Santa, in thanks for pinch hitting

Summary: Beware the help of the gods, for they never make anything easy, as Sirius, Severus, and Remus discover.

Rated: Holiday Spice (R)

Notes: I have completely ignored almost everything from the end of the Order of the Phoenix on when dealing with Severus, Remus and Sirius for the sake of my sanity (and my plotline!) As much as I adore the little tyke, alas, poor Teddy, thou shall not exist. :( But otherwise, yay for the living! Oh and I don't speak or read Italian. Babelfish is to blame for anything I've done wrong! - some angst but not over the top, a dab of frottage and a happy ending. Oh yeah, and some David Bowie. I'm no Conan Doyle and alas, I'm not a David Bowie fan so forgive me the mad use of "China Doll". This started with an image and kind of snowballed from there, as they sometimes do. Thanks to my roommate for the title, as mine was lame. Merry Christmas and a very happy 2010.

HISTORICAL FOOTNOTE TO PROVE I'M NOT MAKING STUFF UP: "On these [the Indian] mountains there live men with the head of a dog, whose clothing is the skin of wild beasts. They speak no language, but bark like dogs, and in this manner make themselves understood by each other. Their teeth are larger than those of dogs, their nails like those of these animals, but longer and rounder. They inhabit the mountains as far as the river Indos. Their complexion is swarthy. They are extremely just, like the rest of the Indians with whom they associate. They understand the Indian language but are unable to converse, only barking or making signs with their hands and fingers by way of reply, like the deaf and dumb. They are called by the Indians Kalystrii, in Greek Kynocephaloi (dog-headed)." - Ctesias, Indica Fragment (summary from Photius, Myriobiblon 72) (trans. Freese) (Greek historian Circa 4th B.C.)

There is a marvelous fic on snapelyholidays:

A Way Out
Summary: Severus is in hiding after the end of the War. Remus has found him. Perhaps.
PG; 3200 words; no warnings - though I might suggest you not read with a beverage in hand.

Snape and Lupin are trapped together, and must - of course - find a way out. The characterizations are excellent, with Snape being especially perfect.

...he was using his company manners. Death eater company manners at that - speak softly, say nothing that pokes your companion's sore spots, and always check for poison.

Funny and wise, with an open ending that let's you imagine anything you want.
