Lukewarm

Title: Lukewarm
Author: Juxian
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Lupin/Snape
Warning: R, slash, school
Length: Short
Status: Completed

Remus Lupin finds out that his accommodations in Hogwarts go with a bonus

Work Text:

I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish you were either cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going to spit you out of my mouth.


At AO3

There's not much smut in there - it's more like a character study into how Snupin might work. Neither of them is sprouting a new head or drowning in love for the other. The relationship is practical and not very intimate on emotional grounds. Yet, it functions. And in the end, Lupin cannot but see Snape in a different light. Not a bright, pink lovely one, but it's less bleak than before, more emotionally entangling.

There are two sequels but I think they are not on par with Lukewarm - not bad, but not on par.
