Still Life by The Treacle Tart (NC-17)
Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Snape/Lupin
Author Website: Story found on Fanfiction.net
Why this must be read:
A sudden interest in Muggle photography shows Snape how fully obsessed he is with Lupin.
For the most part, he was ready to call the entire experiment a failure, when at the bottom of the pile he came across one snapshot that caught his attention. Albus Dumbledore was speaking to Professor Sprout just outside Greenhouse Seven. At first, there seemed to nothing special about the image, but Snape found himself mesmerized by it nonetheless. It was the only time in his recollection that the headmaster truly looked his age. Snape could clearly distinguish the lines that cut into his face and the sad glint in his crystal blue eyes. He looked tired. Fragile. He was the strongest wizard in the world, and he looked like he would crumble into dust.
Were this a wizard's photograph, the Dumbledore in the picture would be waving and giving that calculated nod he always gave when he chose to acknowledge your existence. But Dumbledore could not hide in the Muggle photograph. This one moment was captured for eternity, revealing everything he would have otherwise veiled from the rest of the world, because the rest of the world could never see that he was just a man. A tired, fragile, old man.
