HP Fic: A Hundred Tiny Threads, Old Times' Sake, and Even Ground

[severity_softly]

I was going through my tags and making sure the IJ and LJ tags matched and were as complete as possible, and found three fics that were never reposted here (two originally posted on IJ and one at the Snupin Santa archive). Oops. In the interest of completeness, I'm reposting now. *G*

Rating: NC-17
Pairings/Characters: Snape/Lupin, Minerva, Hermione, Bellatrix, minor omc
Summary: Blinded in the final battle and stripped of his wand, Severus finds himself locked in a cell after the dust settles, feeling hopeless and no better than a Muggle. After a seemingly endless wait, he is finally allowed his "freedom" from Ministry incarceration only by, once again, binding his life to another's... but at least Lupin is better than the alternatives.
Warnings/kinks: Highlight between stars to read: *Forced marriage, disability, H/C, first time, angst, romance*
Word count: 20,000-ish
Authors notes: Snupin Santa gift for lysa1. Post-war, canon to HBP (AU). Title comes from a quote by Simone Signoret: "Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years."

"Would you prefer a female... companion, or a male?"

"I'd prefer to be executed for my crimes."

Gah, I love Snape.
