FIC: Twelve Nights, or You Will What? (ACT I of V)

Title: Twelve Nights, or You Will What?
Act: I
Author: Cedar
Summary: Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night", set in slashy post-war Potter AU.
Quote: They all felt shipwrecked. The war had been over for two years, but peace was proving to be just as challenging.
Characters/Pairings: Dramatis Personae is at the end of this post, because if you know Twelfth Night, this will give away surprise pairings, etc., but feel free to look if you want to know ahead of time.
I will say my OTP is Snape/Lupin (hint hint) and everyone is in love with Harry (of course). Um, this is very slashy.
Challenge: written for the shakes_that_fic fest
Rated: R for the finished fic, PG for this Act
Warnings: AU, but canon-compliant to HBP (in other words, lots of people dead in DH are alive here, and vice versa), discussion of off-screen character deaths, slash, lots of booze (it's Shakespeare, people)
A/N: Thank you to the fabulous dizilla for being a wonderful, thoughtful beta and to the magnficence that is blpaintchart for the brit-pick and beta and general encouragement, and for noticing that I had accidentally tortured Remus by jabbing him with silver, poor wolf.
I will be getting the next four Acts up ASAP.
