This is so sexy and sweet!

Yay! Thank you so much!

*flail* OMG, this was the perfect thing to wake up to! Thank you so much!

I love the whole thing to bits, but clueless-in-the-kitchen Tonks is part of my personal canon and Bill being able to save the day? *swoon*

I adored it all, but this part just made me squee:

Blushing Tonks was one of his favorite sights in the entire world. His amazing fiancée was a seasoned Auror, held her own in bar fights and vicious duels, and swore with such colorful and foul language that she made Mundungus Fletcher look like a priest. So the sight of a pretty, demure-seeming blush was deliciously incongruous and it gave him a swirl of cocky male pride in his chest whenever he could elicit it.

THANK YOU!!! :D

*grins crazy huge* I'm so happy you like it! I'd never really written either of these characters, but the idea of Tonks trying to make a flaming pudding and having it go utterly wrong just popped into my head straight away when I saw your prompt. That's one of my favorite bits you quoted there and I was thrilled to see you pick that out! You're so welcome-- I'm glad you liked it!

[ragdoll]

Absolutely loved it! I would never have guessed you'd not written them before. It felt very organic and natural and, well, Bonk-ish. :) So even more kudos for nailing them so perfectly!

It really made my day today. So thank you again! ♥

oh dear poor Tonks, at least she has some *cough* comfort

[katmarajade]

Oh, you made me giggle! Yes, indeed! :D Thanks, bb.

[thimble_kiss]

Aww, that was so fun and sweet! :) They were both so in character. I loved the part that ragdoll quoted, too, and, Tonks being short and picking furniture too small for his long legs, and, well, all of it! ♥

*grins* I'm glad you like it! As a short girl myself, I can imagine that were I dating a very tall guy he would be mildly exasperated with my set up. hehe! And it's so good to hear I got their characterizations right, as it was my first time really writing either of them as main characters. Thank you!

Oh man that is so Tonks! The burning things, the attempting to do domestic things, the sexy wink. Love it.

[katmarajade]

YAY! I'm so glad people like her in this! I don't write a lot of Tonks, so it's always fun to work on new characters.
