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.

Oh, if I knew you had recommended it, I would've read the story much, much earlier. And it's fabulous! I avoided it, at first, because I doubted a random threesome like that could work.

But it did.

Oh, it certainly did.

My only problem: it was all too short. Not just the story in general, but a lot of the scenes. I'd love to see a reworked version with a tad more detail. I'll have to comment about that on the story itself, though.

Isn't it remarkable how it all worked out like that?

It is remarkable, and very lucky. And I love Eddie Izzard, too.
