Escape The Cold

by Bucket of Weird

Severus received a letter stating that his entry for SNAIL's Encyclopedia of Tested Potions is nominated for an award. He begrudgingly goes to SNAIL Con. in order to accept his award, but finds a familiar face. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Severus and Remus share a room at the Bewildered Burrow. In the warmth they rekindle old memories, as well as new ones. (Snape/Lupin*Lemon*)

AN: Good afternoon, everyone. I had this story in my head for awhile, so I needed to write it down to get it out of my head finally. You'll have to forgive any inaccuracies. It's been a long time since I've read the books. Other than that, please enjoy.

*Trigger warnings*: use of wandless magic and lemons.
