Will one crazy night bring Remus and Tonks together, or will it end their chances of romance forever? PG-13
Transformations: After months of being not-quite-more-than-friends Remus and Tonks have finally become a couple. What more can stand in the way of their living happily ever after?

The Rookie: "Something has become obvious to her: the rules against Aurors becoming romantically involved with persons under investigation exist for a reason. They exist for this reason... And this whole time she was foolish enough to convince herself that she knew what she was doing." A GOF-era Remus/Tonks romance. PG
Drifting: “Being in love with Remus Lupin is nothing like what she expected…there are so many times when she has no idea what is going through his head.” Tonks struggles to make her relationship with Remus work, and befriends an outsider in the Order. An OotP-era sequel to "The Rookie."

Other Remus/Tonks:
Phoenix and Fascination: Nymphadora Tonks doesn’t know what to expect when she joins the Order of the Phoenix. What she finds is a long-lost cousin, a house full of new friends, an assignment to spy on the wizard she fears above all others, and a growing fascination with another Order member, the charming and mysterious Remus Lupin. Will her efforts to attract him succeed, or is her fascination one-sided? What is the mysterious secret he seems determined to keep? And will she ever come to terms with her own dark secret? PG-13

Fan Essays
The Unbreakable Vow, Pride, Trust, Cowardice and the Self-Interested Snape: My mostly (but not entirely) wrong pre-DH theory on Snape.
