Title: Miles To Go Before We Sleep, Parts Four through Eleven
Fandom: Criminal Minds
Pairing: Morgan/Reid
Rating: up to NC-17 for the entire fic
Summary: After Reid goes off the rails in Texas, Morgan decides Reid needs a friend to support him through whatever he's going through.

Starting immediately after "Elephant's Memory" and running beyond the end of "Lo-fi", this is a multi-chaptered, non-WIP fic.
Word count: parts 1-11, ~93,000; overall, ~130K
Spoilers: Entire series - specifically Profiler, Profiled, The Big Game/Revelations, Elephant's Memory, In Heat, Tabula Rasa, and Lo-Fi
Warnings: Overall: UST, references to past sexual abuse, drug use/references to past drug use

Summary: Blinded in the final battle and stripped of his wand, Severus finds himself locked in a cell after the dust settles, feeling hopeless and no better than a Muggle.

Title: Old Times' Sake
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Snape/Lupin (Lupin/Tonks in the background)
Disclaimer: I don't own them, I just get them dirty.
Summary: When Remus turns to Severus for his potion even after everything Severus has done, Remus isn't sure what he trusts, or wants, Severus to do more - help him or kill him. He just never expected Severus would ask for the payment he does.
Warnings: adultery, dub-con, wall!sex, rimming, prostitution (in a sense), questionable lubrication ;), a little breathplay, suicidal thoughts (Merry Christmas! ;))
Author's notes: Written for snegurochka_lee for Merry_smutmas 2007. DH compliant.

( Wolfsbane, when brewed improperly, could kill. )

Title: Even Ground
Author: severity_softly
Pairing: Lupin/Snape
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Mwpp era (underage sex), blackmail!sex, dub-con (in the interest of full disclosure, it starts as non-con), first time, dark!Remus, pretty much pwp
Word Count: 2300
Notes: Originally written for Daliy Deviant's abandoned prompt month, October '07. Lots of thanks to enigmalea and florahart for that!

( Severus had already known, of course, before he'd headed down that darkened tunnel under the Whomping Willow, what he would find inside )

Title: Gratitude Bestows Reverence
Pairing: Snape/Lupin
Theme/kink: AU
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 3,400ish
Warnings/kinks: AU, mpreg, genderfuck, love!sex/reverent!sex, mild angst
Summary: Severus was not generally one to feel ashamed of the things he couldn't help, but they hadn't had sex since they had discovered Severus was pregnant, twenty one weeks ago. It had been like a marathon of abstinence, considering they normally couldn't keep their hands off each other.
Notes: Beta'd by enigmalea and kittehkat! Title from a quote by John Milton: "Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world." For hiddenfantasy, whose Remus I am beginning to believe I have a telepathic link to.


( It felt like ages ago that Remus had asked him, but Severus remembered it exactly - every hint of hesitation mixed with barely contained desire on Remus' face. )

This is just a snippet of a scene from an RP that I co-wrote with hiddenfantasy that I'm requesting art for for Snupin Santa. It's not the complete scene, and if you read, please be warned for Snape being drunken, disoriented to the point where he doesn't know where his wand is, suicidal, and even tearful at one point... though it's hopeful where I've cut it off. I had to edit and re-arrange for it to make better sense, but the POV may still be a bit wonky... Oh, and DH has made it post-war AU. This may not be the last RP snippet I put up for this purpose, but feel free to skip if you're not my SnuSa gifter.

Summary: It has been many years since the downfall of the Dark Lord. Severus and Remus have settled down to live their peaceful lives of solitude, until Minerva decides that it is time for them both to make a change.
Warnings: a little cracked, and this is an earlier fic of mine, so I see a bit of wonky POV too. :)
Notes: Written for the lupin_snape May '06 fantasy fest, for krissybl who wanted "Severus and Remus set up on a blind date via a dating service. Humor." Beta'd by thesnapelyone and cho_sa and brit picked by cordeliadelayne. Thanks guys!

Summary: Severus returns home from Hogwarts over the summer between his sixth and seventh year to find his mother quickly becoming a shell of her former self. She might be willing to forget herself, but he won't.

( Severus stepped inside his parent's home, looking around at the familiar cramped sitting room. He felt ill, claustrophobic, to be returning. )
