Poor Tonks. :( I think you've done a great job here of getting into her head in HBP, showing us the mixture of sadness and anger that must accompany her depression, in addition to her not being able to stop loving Remus or worrying over him. You used the Good King Wenceslas lyrics effectively to bring her around to only wanting the best for him. Great work!
Thank you for commenting :-) This is only the second piece of fanfic I've written so it means a lot to me, especially coming from you, one of my favorite Remus/Tonks authors.
Poor, poor Tonks. This was so sad! But, well done on the writing, it was very well written. I would suggest breaking it up a bit with more dialogue but other than that, well done!
I don't think you had the easiest lyrics to work with here and you've used them really well showing how Tonks' initial shock and depression is now also moving towards anger and frustration with Remus by Christmas time. It's a nice nod to the Tonks who we see later trying to shake some sense into him in the Hospital Wing scene in HBP. I also liked the glimmer of hope you gave her and us at the end - she might be angry and frustrated, but his safety is the most important thing to her and it doesn't even enter her head to give up on him for a second. Which strikes me as very Tonks-like.
Some nice descriptions as well; particularly how you do feel distanced and so alone when others appear to be celebrating and happy all around you.
Very well done; I think you did a good, thoughtful job with this. :)
I really liked the way you captured Tonks' melencholy here, that sense that her thoughts are always making a connection between her and Remus, what he might be doing, where he is, so that even though they're not together, they're not truly apart, either. I really loved the ending and its note of hopefullness about the prospect of change, too :).
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to comment :-) It's only my second fic, and first that I've posted here so I had no idea what people would think.
