Brain Flotsam V2.007

This is actually not so much a report as a Yay! Photos! post, with occasional commentary. That link goes to my Flickr set, which will in turn sometimes sync up to the Azkatraz Flickr Pool.
Here's my Mug Shot:

I've forgotten the LJ usernames of half the people I met already, but if anybody wants to pop in and remind me, feel free!

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.

So I was working on editing the good bits of my nanowrimo experiment, adding some new chapters to round out the plot, and thinking I could put it on decafest because the main line of story does take place Ten Years After.
But I can't bring myself to let Snape and Lupin stay dead.  :P
They're alive and raising Teddy together and being involved in all kinds of things with the future of the Wizarding World in my AU, and I like it!
The Malfoys also make a good showing.
I have my biases, I suppose.  ;)
So I may not post it to decafest, but at least the fest has made me open the file again. There's some good stuff in there, including a couple of sections that could totally be one-shots.
Maybe I will post them now!

This is something of an experiment, so maybe my readers can let me know if it's worth pursuing further.

Title: The Wolf and the Spy
Author: zephre
Rated:  PG this part
Word Count: 2,947
Prompt: 100 quills Table 50.2: Chains
Characters this part:  Remus, Severus, Luna
Pairings in series overall: Remus/Severus, Luna/Harry, Salazar/Helga
Summary:  Captured during a full moon while in possession of vital information for the rebels and for Hogwarts, Remus finds himself ransomed by taciturn potioner Severus of Snape, whose loyalties are in question. Together with a gifted former slave and an impetuous young lord, they must make their way north through Wessex, Mercia, and Northumbria, unto Alba and the sanctuary of the new and fragile Wizarding Alliance centered at Hogwarts castle.
Warnings:  So very, very Alternate Reality. Will feature slash and het!
Notes: This story and its associated series (The "Beginnings" series) take the characters of our familiar books and place them in the 11th century, the time of the Norman Conquest in Britain (and the Founding of Hogwarts). Yes, the Founders are all involved, too.
I have changed just about everybody's surname to be more reflective of what they would have been called in period, but have tried to maintain them as recognizable figures.
According to the calendar I have chosen to use, the Hare Moon is in May.

So... worth it to figure out more of where it's going?

I've started writing Norman Conquest/Founders' Era Snupin.

I need so much help. ;)

from my notes:

Remus had been in contact with a difficult and taciturn spy, one with whom he also feels a tie of destiny. the spy is called Severus of Snape, a Yorkshire potioner who was a disciple of Slytherin and now infiltrates the Norman forces on behalf of the newly-founded Hogwarts alliance. not many in Britain are aware of his dual role; he does not himself suspect that Remus knows.
but Remus is a disciple of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, and Hufflepuff herself knows many of Slytherin's secrets. there is tension among the Founders, as the Norman conquest rolls over England, but they hold fast to each other in the face of a stronger enemy. Hogwarts, they are determined, shall outlast the Conquest.
