( Believe In You )

At a party in mid-December 2005(...if I recall correctly, via Justacat drawing our attention to one of queenbamfie's posts), we had occasion to view the "Gayest Tattoo Ever." I probably wouldn't have given the tattoo much more thought after that night if it hadn't been for Cordelia V saying, "You know, someone should write a story based on this tattoo for me where Snape and Lupin are turned into mermen and maybe one of them is pregnant, and..." - "Wait...you want MerPreg?!!" I asked, horror-stricken. - "My birthday's coming up soon, you know," she said hopefully.

The concept? Definitely crackfic. The story itself? I leave it to you to judge. (Oh, and thanks to Meri who had promised to beta, except then *I* ran out of time. In other words, none of this is her fault.)
