It probably doesn't sound that good to say I'm glad you felt sorry for Charlie while rooting for R/T - but that is what I was hoping for. There's such little canon info about him, but he strikes me as the Weasley that goes his own way and quietly does his own very dangerous thing, while Ron speaks of him with affection and admiration. And the slightly out-of-place loner also seemed to fit with JKR saying he never married, which I was a little sad about as she seemed keen on marrying everyone else off, lol.
I liked the idea of Charlie and Tonks being good friends from their schooldays, being drawn together by not quite conforming to the norm. And the irony of her now being so attractive to him because he's come home and is seeking the reassurance of old memories, and because she's matured into the young woman that has attracted Remus...
In version one of this (before I suddenly realised I was supposed to be writing Charlie, not R/T), Remus and Tonks did get to fight their duel and the noble prat did have to finally stop all that defence. ;) I'd quite like to write that sometime when jumbles etc. don't get in the way!
Many thanks for such lovely comments - it's much appreciated. :)
