Dec. 9th, 2006 04:41 amOh my heavens, I just read the most beautiful and wonderful fic over at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
lupin_snape. Wish I could tell you who wrote it, but it is part of the Snupin Santa exchange and we won't know that until January. But my dears, if you like O'Brien or Forester, seafaring adventures, Jane Austen, Napoleonic sagas, or any combination of the preceding, RUN, do not walk, to Stand Still.*
Non-magical Napoleonic Britan AU, 25k words, R rating, no warnings.
Remus Lupin is the sickly younger son of a gentleman; Severus Snape is the village bastard. A chance encounter brings them to share books, and despite the plaguing of Severus by many so-called gentleman (namely Potter, Black, and Pettigrew), Remus and Severus manage to form a close friendship. After a serious encounter nearly costs Severus his life, village curate Dumbledore secures a commission for Severus in Her Majesty's Navy, while Remus is left behind to suffer the ins and outs of daily polite society.
Trust me, there is no excuse not to read and like this fic. Even if you don't like slash--you can squint and read it as a very close friendship if you skim a couple of scenes. Go read this fic.
* oh, haha, that was an unintentional joke. Now I am singing U2's "Running to Stand Still".
