Title: A Change for the Good, for nepenth
From: Your Secret Snupin Santa
Summary: Severus is an intelligent, ambitious young man, but with the… ‘help’ of a friend he undergoes a radical sex change that revolutions his whole life.
Rated: Coal and Switches (NC17)
Warnings: Gender-bender (girl!Severus), completely AU, a teeny tiny bit of angst and fluff here and there.
Author notes: Merry Snupin Christmas, Nepenth! I decided to go with your first prompt, but I’ve never written gender-bender before and it probably shows. I had so much fun working at this fic, though… I hope I made a good enough job including everything you asked for! Big thanks go to my beta, the best of them all!! Ten points go to the people who get the anime/manga reference :P

| Compromising Times, for wolfiefics |
[09 Dec 2009|09:15am] |
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

So the v-gift snowflakes being free was a glitch, not a nice show of holiday generosity by LJ. Huh. Color me unsurprised.
In other news, I've graded around 40 papers in 3 days. I have 4 final papers, 3 late papers, and a batch of journals from my lit course remaining. Then I get a mini-break until the final exam material starts coming in. Huzzah!
I went to the dentist this morning, and all was well; no cavities or other oral issues. Huzzah again!
I stopped at Michael's (a chain craft store in the US) afterward and picked up some double-pointed needles and a three pack of cookie decorating stuff in green, red, and white, so I think that means I've committed myself to making either gingerbread cookies or sugar cookies once I'm on break.
Okay, back to work! I won't get finished unless I keep plodding along.

| Story: Flight of the Marauder, for kirasha |
[08 Dec 2009|09:19am] |
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!

[08 Dec 2009|12:14am] |
I had the most lovely surprise in my in-box today. Several thoughtful and generous friends sent me some virtual gifts. I can't tell you how touched I was by that. And how very surprised.
Know that I think of you all often. Nearly daily, truth be told. I still write stories in my head; I just can't seem to get them down on paper – how sad is that. One day, soon, I'll give you all a more detailed update, one that better chronicles my ups and down of the last year. It’s been…interesting.
Happy holidays to all.
With love,
TTT

| Story: You Only Live Twice, for karasu-hime |
[07 Dec 2009|06:45pm] |
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!

I made Spiced Tea over the weekend, and today, I took a break from grading long enough to put together some Peanut-butter Pumpkin bread, which is warm out of the oven and goes perfectly with spiced tea. My world is a little bit better now.

I think it's very nice that Livejournal is offering a free virtual gift, and I've even sent a couple of snowflakes myself. I'm also amused that snowflake mania appears to have taken over my flist, but I'm still not tempted to enable virtual gifts for my journal. Sorry about that!
Meanwhile, I've been pushing exceptionally hard to finish grading the last set of papers for my comp classes so I can have a tiny respite before final exam material starts coming in later this week, and if I see one more comma error, I may well scream.

| Story: The Space Between, for rudika |
[07 Dec 2009|10:10am] |
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 ^_^

[06 Dec 2009|09:33am] |
This summer my husband, knowing my hatred for all things Twilight (sparkly vampires? SRSLY???) bought me a shirt that says "...And then Buffy staked Edward. The End." And then today I found this linked by annakas on LJ: Buffy vs. Twilight.
YES!!!!
(No intended disrespect of anyone who likes Twilight... Everyone likes/hates different things, so to each their own. :)

Rated: Coal and Switches (NC17)

If I hadn't tried chocolate-covered bacon at the state fair and really liked it, I would have been dubious about this article and the accompanying recipes, but tonight, I made the chocolate chip and bacon cookies, and I really like them! You don't taste bacon per se, just a nice saltiness that complements the sweetness of the cookie; I like this combination, and I'm probably going to try some of the other recipes sooner or later.
"Bacon Gets Its Just Desserts", with recipes for
Chocolate-Bacon-Peanut Bark
Maple-Apple-Bacon Cake With Maple Glaze
Chocolate Chip-Bacon-Pecan Cookies (thin and thick variations)
Peanut Butter-Maple Bacon Fudge
