Smoke Show

Fic: ~The Guest~ R
Title: The Guest
Author: smoke
Pairing: Snape/Lupin
Rating: R – for fleeting darkish content
Summary: Not all who live alone are lonely, and not all with friends are not.

Author's Notes: Please Read! This story has been brewing for a long time, and the holidays, and several of the fine stories I've read, finally brought it on. I did not realize, however, until my beta hit me over the head with a large brick, how close it was to

jedirita's lovely Methods of Suicide. On rereading her story, I was appalled at the number of parallels I had unconsciously written in to my story. This story is not meant to be disrespectful of

jedirita's story or anyone else's. I enjoyed her story immensely; this is simply a different take on similar circumstances from one who lives alone, and doesn't have a Christmas tree.

Thanks to

snegurochka_lee for beating all the commas into submission, rearranging my odd sentence structure, and hitting me with said brick.
