| Tis the fest season, and I've been reading all of snapelyholidays (which is also the only fest I wrote for this year), and most of snarry_holidays (one of my favorite Snarry fests), and picking up others here and there. My gift was posted this past week--a bonus of fic and art. Title: A Holiday With Old FriendsArtist/Author: IT'S A MYSTERY! Pairing: Snape/Lupin There are no warnings to speak of, and you can read the summary in the header. I really did ask for Snape/Lupin. One of the things I love about this fest is that Snape's always there, and that's the most important thing. It's interesting to read him in pairings I wouldn't usually tackle, and like the snarry_games, I'm finding the exposure to new things a pleasurable one. The ficlet before this art sets the stage. It's Christmas, and Snape can't bear to stay in Spinner's End, so he's alone in another place. Lupin seeks him out, and they have a history, it's clear. But what's so poignant is how shut in and brittle Snape is, while Lupin is almost pitifully in character here. He knows what would be the right thing to do, but it's others who make his choices for him. The art that accompanies the ficlet complements it so well. A great hooked nose, a glimpse of intimacy, then finally a pathetic cameo of what Snape would never show anyone. So far as fest gifts go, I'm thrilled with this one! For reals! There's one fic I want to rec from snarry_holidays. Mostly because it's one that's stayed in my head; I even dreamed about it. Title: In the BeginningAuthor: HAAAA Pairing: Snarry Rating: PG-15 Warnings: See the header, nothing noteworthy. Summary: Harry finds Snape de-aged after the war. Ever see the movie 'Memento'? God, I hated that movie, mostly because the folding back in time, moving in reverse chronological order confused me. Time travel and deaging fics do that to me a bit, but this story (a deaged Snape) challenged me, but I kept my head on straight. The author does this clever thing with her story segments, terming them as the 'possible' beginning. Moving backwards in time for a while, you see how they started out, but then the present, starting with Snape's death, turns up a BIG surprise, and then the agonizing search for an answer, a way to re-educate, find something that was, but now appears lost. Hmmm, I just reread what I wrote, and I'm not sure I'm doing the fic justice. There's beautiful writing, raw honest and awkward emotion, and at the end, I scrolled right to the top and put it in my memories. | |

| I ended my last with: We are totally misjudging Lily based on the “The Prince’s Tale.” Because these were never meant to be Severus’s memories of Lily.
They’re his memories of what went wrong between them.I want to clarify this last point. And then I’ll be done, really, for quite a while. ( Most of us ) | |
