Title: Compromising Times, for wolfiefics

From: Your Secret Snupin Santa

Summary: I used wolfiefics' prompt number one – "A story featuring Remus, Severus and Sirius as a threesome. One of my favorite stories is McKay's The Thrill of Under Me You, so something similar to that line of 'reluctant love' would be cool." I hope you like it! And anonymous thanks to my betas without whom I would be lost.

Rated: Coal and Switches (NC17)

Warnings: Threesome, explicit slash sex of various types.

Pairing: Remus/Severus/Sirius

Word count: 7192

Takes the Cake, by Arionrhod and McKay is now complete!

Summary: A special competition on the highly successful cable show "Takes the Cake" pits two-time winner Severus Snape against equally successful Remus Lupin. As things heat up in the kitchen, will Remus be able to convince Severus that they share more than just a passion for baking?

Rated: R

Content: non-magical AU

Word count: 46638

Title: The Pain of His Company, for dizilla

From: Your Secret Snupin Santa

Summary: Cursed by Voldemort, Harry is doomed to see the one he loves the best die in lingering agony. Meanwhile, Snape is forced to obey orders given by Lupin, who is out of his mind with grief over the death of a friend.

Rated: Coal and Switches (NC17)

Disclaimer: The characters in this piece of fiction are the property of J. Rowling. The situations are the author's own.

Warnings: Humiliation, fellatio, rape, S&M.

Other pairing: Harry/Luna

Word count: 6293

Title: Flight of the Marauder, for kirasha

From: Your Secret Snupin Santa

Summary: A series of mysterious bank robberies leads Inspector Severus Snape of Scotland Yard into the midst of a band of thieves who are far more than what they appear. As Severus is drawn further into the dark secrets surrounding one of the Empire's most notable Peers - and the biggest proponent of the steam technology which powers it - he discovers himself caught up in a web of murder, lies, deception and greed, and facing an irresistible attraction that might be even more dangerous to his life than the criminals surrounding him.

Rated: Holiday Spice (R)

Warnings: Character death (not SS or RL)

Notes: This story would not have been what it is without the unfailing encouragement of M., or the phenomenal work of my beta, E., who kept me in line not only as far as spelling and grammar, but in points of Victorian society and law. Thank you both, I couldn't have done it without you!

Word count: 30361

Title: You Only Live Twice, for karasu-hime

From: Your Secret Snupin Santa

Summary: It's not often that a tired, worn-out werewolf gets a second chance at life. It's even rarer for a bitter, cynical professor to get a fresh start. What happens when they get their second chance at the same time?

Rated: Gingersnaps (PG13)

Note: AU as of "The Seven Potters" chapter in DH.

Prompt from Karasu Hime: "De-aged fic: Severus and Remus come back with the help of Hermione, however they come back in their 18 year old bodies. And boy is Remus horny! With his wolf hormones on the rampage, he tries every which way to get into uptight Severus pants. I'd like to read the different ways he tries, how he gets snubbed, obstacles, angst then the happy ending. No over the top fluff, please!" I hope this works!

Other pairing: Charlie/Tonks

Title: The Space Between, for rudika

From: Your Secret Snupin Santa

Summary: Prompt: AU/AR Remus is a college student majoring in Physical Anthropology. Snape is in the medical program, studying phlebotomy. They begin meeting in the cafeteria every Wednesday (the day when Remus' rowdy friends are usually in classes without him). But when the next semester comes around, Remus and Snape are in the same Anatomy class... along with Remus' annoying friends.

Rated: Gingerbread & Cocoa (PG)

Warnings: AU/AR, some not-so-nice language/attitudes on the part of Sirius and James (homophobia and gay bashing), SERIOUS Sirius bashing ^_^

A/N: Erm, the story is not 100% correct because the University that I chose does not offer the program that you wanted, but I wanted to stay true to the prompt. Remus and Severus are Americans in this story for purposes of plot and because all I am familiar with is American college culture. This story took me many places that I had no idea about. I hope that I have lived up to your original prompt well enough, while adding a little bit of me into it.

Betas: The wonderful D and B who came through at the last second when I needed them most. Thanks girls ^_^

Once again this year, I'm collecting Snupin Santa recs! Any story or art that is recced 3 times is eligible to be a Hot Rec in the Daily Snitch newsletter, which has a readership of around 550 on Insanejournal and a readership of over 4000 on Livejournal. I'll also be submitting recs to snapenews.

So if you've recced any Snupin Santa story or art, please drop me a comment here. I'll be keeping track of what's been recced how many times based on the comments I get, because unfortunately, there's no way I can scan every RL/SS shipper's journal looking for recs. If you want to see your favorites from this year's fest featured in the biggest HP fandom journal-based newsletters, you need to give me those recs!

I do need a URL that I can send to the newsletters to prove there are 3 different recs for any given story/art, so squee in email, IM, or the chatroom won't cut it.

I'll post a call for recs at least once a week throughout the fest.
