I've been thinking about this pairing since 2x03 aired, but there are no actual spoilers in the pic.

I'm so behind... the next few posts are going to be holiday fest art reveals.

Title: Birthday Kiss
Giftee: midnight_birth
Artist: zephre
Rating: PG-13
Pairing(s)/character(s): Severus/Remus
Disclaimer: This is a not-for-profit fan work based on fictional characters in fictional situations.
Warnings: none
Summary: The door swung open and Remus couldn't help but reel back from Severus's furious expression. The latter's hair and clothed were disheveled, and he was covered in some kind of white powder and something red and sticky. Remus had seen the look a few times before, and it meant no good. Something had gone horribly wrong, he could just sense it.

Before Remus got as much as a "hello" out, he was pulled in and the door was slammed shut behind him.

"You don't usually come home so early," Severus growled, practically ripping Remus's coat off. He turned Remus around to face him and pressed their lips together. The kiss had potential to turn passionate, but it was over almost as soon as it began.

Title: A Dangerous Partnership
Artist: zephre
Fandom: Dragonsfire MOO (Dragonriders of Pern)
Rating: G

Summary: He's an orphaned Lord seeking revenge for his dead father; she's a very junior weyrwoman with a taste for danger. Together, they fight crime!
Disclaimer: the world of Pern belongs to Anne McCaffrey. We just dabble.
Notes: I've been teasing Lucius's player with this art for way too long now. Here it is at last!

Bonus art: Tickling, Lucius/Erika, PG-13. Because Lucius's player wanted something smexy. ;)

snarry_holidays reveals are up, so I can reveal (like it was a big surprise) that I made this:

Title: The Rock Collection
Artist: zephre
Media/Medium: Photoshop
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Snape/Harry
Warnings: none.
Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters herein are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. Not for profit fan artwork only.
Summary: Harry would have to send Eileen a thank-you gift for her courtship advice; he would never have thought to add this particular rock to Severus's collection on his own.
Artist's Notes: thesewarmstars asked for Snape to have a collecting habit that Harry could find out about. In addition to the actual crystal Harry adds to Snape's collection, he gives a Muggle sweet found in seaside towns, one that usually has the name of the town or resort written in sugar on the inside. This 'rock' has been doctored for Harry's particular purposes. ;) Since I like the idea of Harry and Severus's mum conspiring to make him happy, I'm thinking it's one of Severus's childhood favorites and she clued Harry in.

Prompt: Virgo (Aug. 23 -- Sept. 22) Overzealous emotions only get in the way of efficiency at a time when there's a need for objective analysis. Keep a cool head and you will succeed in penetrating a cloud of obfuscation that is causing something simple to seem complicated.

I tried to step way out of my usual style (and subject matter, LOL) for my call as an alternate for Round Two of the Games.
