Do you know, I was just thinking about this fic a day or so before the birthdays, wondering if you still planned on having a go at it and here it is. And I'm so glad that you have because it's a really wonderful read, subtly putting such a different spin on the course of events.

In the first scene, I thought you blended the angst with a peaceful sort of joy in their silent partnership as they endure what they have to to reach their goal, which seems like quite a trick to me. It might be hard, but at least their doing it together and can even find a moment for mischief to arise.

I loved the description of their first meeting, the things that Remus remembered most and his sense of something having shifted. Your Tonks is always so refreshingly forthright, which probably strips away a lot of wasted time in hand-wringing. ;) Point is, though, it really sets her on an even footing with him because she can step up to the plate and fight her corner, and his, and her logic really is iron tight - poor Remus didn't stand a chance!

Really loved this, and I'm looking forward very much to the next part, but I order you not to worry about it and take as much time as you need! x
