This is for last week's challenge at [livejournal.com profile] snupin100. I wrote it on the train this morning because I didn't notice that the challenge had changed as of yesterday. Enjoy.



Title: Wedding Reception
Word Count: 100


“Don’t be such an arse, Severus. I am not scared.”

Snape smirked; he’d won already.

“Alright, is this a dare? What will you do if I follow through?”

“I don’t promise anything, Lupin. You must act to preserve your self-respect or not at all.”

“Manipulative bastard,” Remus smiled grimly. He tapped his glass with a teaspoon, and the revelers quieted.

“A toast,” he said, without clearing his throat. “To Harry and Ginny: may you be as well-suited to one another as Severus and I are. Congratulations!”

Two hundred pairs of widened eyes stared back over the rim of his wineglass.

That Snape knows just what to say to get his way, doesn't he? ;)

Hee! I really like the pacing and details of this one.

You could always cross-post to [livejournal.com profile] lupin_snape...

I just want you to know that Brits apparently consider "alright" acceptable usage. I haven't used it until now, but I really wanted it to be 100 words. I am WEAK.

I am doing a lot of drabbles these days!

Alright is classic Britspeak; your Britpicker speaks!

I just looked up its history. Hmmm. Apparently it's quite a new word. I see it around a lot, though, especially in popular culture in the UK. Londoners go, "Alwight, love?" when they're trying to chat you up. Yuk!

Oh, yeah, the drabble. "Well-suited"? They'll be murdering each other within a year. Ha ha! Lovely fic. Yup, cross-post.

Thank you for backing me up! Of course i got the idea from you.

Of course they are totally well-suited to each other. Severus knows how to play Remus like a fiddle, and Remus apparently likes it!

I think this one works well with the one that starts with Severus saying he's not scared. Then you understand who they are to each other.

Yes - why not stick them on [livejournal.com profile] lupin_snape together?

*still not convinced about the whole Snupin thing but enjoying them very much nonetheless*

Remus and Severus have interlocking issues, let's just say!

Oh, lovely! That last line -!

Where would you think Lupin should come out of the closet and confess his love for Snape? At Harry's wedding to Ginny, of course!

Now that was the ultimate wedding speech!

It was a nice thing to wish them, as clearly Remus and Severus are well-suited!

That Severus really is a manipulative bastard, isn't he?

Ha! Great one.

Mwahahaha! That was too funny. :D I love what one can do with 100 words...

Are you also doing drabbles? They are really seductive, aren't they? I am getting a lot out of having a 100 word writing assignment on the train every morning!

I've done a couple, then I did one fic with 7 (or was it 8?) 100 word sections. I'd do more, but I can barely keep up with the fic I have to write! Maybe after the first of the year... They are definately fun to write. :D
