Rated: Holiday Spice (R)

Snape is a travel/food writer sent on a big assignment to a thought-to-be-safe exotic land with capable, knowledgeable, kick-ass assistant Remus. Whether they know each other or not up to whether you choose magic or non-magic AU. Snape's mouth gets him into trouble and it's his Guy Friday, Remus, to the rescue. Smexy action-adventure."

Title: What's Written in Blood, for hiddenfantasy

Warnings: a little blood

Summary: I have an alternate version (shaded differently) that I ended up not liking as much, but you're welcome to have after reveals are up. I think I spent more time on this piece than any fest so far, and I tried a whole bunch of new things, so I hope you like it, I was really proud of it. May it brighten your holiday season!

Rated: Gingersnaps (PG13)/mildly NWS

Prompt used: ART: Remus and Severus standing in the kitchen of Spinner's End. Remus and Severus have their shirts open/off, exposing their chests. Both have cuts on their index fingers. There are red runes on Severus' chest and Severus is holding Remus' gaze as Severus draws the same runes on Remus' chest, over his heart.

Notes: The two runes I ended up going with were, Ingwaz for family love, and Eihwaz for defense, protection.

Turning to photography as a creative outlet during a valiant fight with breast cancer at age 34, renaissance10 survived and set up a photo contest to help raise funds for the Lavender Trust, a nonprofit that provides information and support to younger women with breast cancer. In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.

Please remember that McKay has been taking a long break from the snupin_prophet. If you spot Snape/Lupin content elsewhere, including other exchanges, yes, but in general as well, if you don't link it here, the bulk of the Snupin fans won't see it. That said...
