escape yourself and gravity

Title: Delineation of a Duellist
Setting: 1980 through an alternate timeline of 1991
Pairing(s): Remus/Sirius, Remus/Severus, eventual Sirius/Remus/Severus
Rating: NC17
WC: overall ~34,400; this part ~9,700
Thanks: Eternal thanks to my dear, wonderful betas lore, aunty_marion, thesnapelyone, jenw118.
Disclaimers: The scene with Harry choosing a wand includes liberal use of text from PS. The scene where Remus describes the shop to Severus is inspired by a scene from Susan Cooper's book The Dark Is Rising. This entire fic was very much inspired by Ellen Kushner's deeply moving and well-written Swordspoint and The Privilege of the Sword.
Notes: This is not a WIP - it is complete and will be entirely posted within the next three days (who knows, I may yet post the rest of it tonight. I'm into instant gratification.)


Summary: When a wizard's honour is challenged, it is grounds for a duel. To win, one hires the best duellist--and everyone knows Remus Lupin is the best. He's never lost. But in order to win the most important duel of his life, he must learn how to lose...


Part One

Never done meta before, so this probably doesn't qualify.  But I'm writing about the writing of Weight of Memory, and you shouldn't read this before you've read the Epilogue, which I am just about to is posted here on lupin_snape.


The Weight of Memory: A Fest Request that got out of hand

( This is the crazy and pretentious or nerdy (not sure which) meta/authors notes I wrote about Weight of Memory.  If you want to read and/or review.  LOL )

Title: The Weight of Memory – Chapter Seven
Author: innerslytherin
Rating: Hard R for graphic violence
Warnings: language
Pairings: SS/RL
Summary: One is a murderer, the other is a spy. But when dire circumstances force them to turn to each other, can Remus and Severus overcome their history enough to work together?
Notes: For electromoon -- Post-HBP: S is bitter towards R because of his role in what the Marauders did. (S also has repressed feelings for R). R is in danger, S must help him, R earns S's forgiveness - some hurt/care (S as carer) a plus!  Many thanks as always to my lovely betas astraea36 and thesnapelyone and _lore.  Any mistakes are my own.


Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 7


This chapter has heavy angst and fairly graphic violence.  ^_^
