FIC REC: The Way We Live Now by kabeyk

[amanuensis1]

So, yeah, while I like the idea of Snape/Lupin in theory, I'm not usually one to seek out fic for it. I get this Truffaut-esque sense of quietness with the pairing, which is not how I usually want my smut. (It's the Eddie Izzard "I've been arranging matches," "I think I'd...better go," "Yes, I think you better had," narrative, when I'm looking for his "Alla time in here with the f**king matches! You f**k my wife? You f**k my wife?" "I AM your wife!" sort of porn.)

Apparently all that's needed is to throw Draco into the mix. I'm overwhelmed by kabeyk's fabulously literate The Way We Live Now, Remus/Severus/Draco, which never stops being snarkily delicious and funny and hot as all-get-out. It's a relatively short piece, posted on pornish_pixies, and there's affectionate-when-he's-sneering!Snape and don't-doubt-he's-the-Alpha!Remus and sarcastic-even-when-he's-scared!Draco. Go have a look.

I swear to God I laughed SO HARD when I read this. Because it's true, and the truth is often funny. :)

("A Room With a View OF HELL!!!")

Thanks for the rec, am off to read right this second!

(Pssst. You wanna know what's really funny? Seeing Amy act this out in a seven foot square space.)

As Cardinal Richlieu would say, "Oui, I did that thing."

(I can Brit-ref all night, watch me!)

Oh, god, I'd forgotten that "Room with a View of HELL!" line *giggles fit to bust*
