Fic Rec and Plot Bunny
Jun. 9th, 2007 08:15 pmNormally I don't read adultery fics, but I got completely hooked on The Blue Door by ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
snegurochka_lee. The summary reads: "There is no situation, no opportunity, no sudden, aching desire that a werewolf can't control. Any man who says otherwise is just a man looking for an excuse." In it, Snape and Lupin are an established couple, but Lupin puts their relationship in jeopardy when he has an affair with Bill Weasley. He loves Snape, but his wolf feels irresistibly drawn towards Bill's and vice versa...only maybe things aren't quite what they seem, and I'll spoil the story if I give away any more information. I'd recommend this to any Snupin fan, and don't be put off by the adultery warning. It'll put you through the emotional wringer, but it'll be well worth it. No one is completely bad or good in this story; the characters are complex and well-developed, and the ending is satisfying without unrealistically tying up all the loose ends in a neat bow for a happy ending. What is great about this story is that there are no easy, black and white answers, and it really makes you think--judging by the pages and pages of commentary from the readers. ^_^
Now, I mention this story partly to plug a great fic--I'd say it's one of the best Snupin stories I've ever read, and I never thought I'd say that about a story where Lupin cheats on Snape! But also because it inspired a naggingly persistent plot bunny that I'm not quite sure what to do with. Read on if you're interested, although it's a rather long summary...
