This is one of my favourite fics in the Advent. You handle angst incredibly well. It's very sad, it grabs straight for the heart-strings and pulls like anything, but it's not depressing. It's lovely, actually. I think out of all the stories written, this one most effectively conveys real emotion. And humour. :)

“I’ve met Grawp a few times, now. Hagrid introduced me as Nymphadora.” She pauses to crinkle her nose in distaste. “Grawp can’t pronounce it so he calls me Nimmie.”

Remus and Tonks weren't the only ones laughing.

She starts walking deeper into the forest and Remus is helpless to do anything but follow her. He remembers the last time he was here, almost three years ago, when he had the title ‘professor.’ Naked, standing behind a tree, wondering if anyone would bring him a change of clothes or if he should try to conjure a robe using wandless magic. It felt like hours before Minerva McGonagall appeared, with clothes, looking at him and not bothering to hide the disappointment in her eyes.

That paragraph is heart-breaking and really set the tone for the rest of the fic. You did such a good job with this.

Oh thank you for mentioning the humor! I love mixing in a funny line here or there in a serious piece. I try very hard not to hit people over the head with the angst. :)

I'm so glad you enjoyed this piece! And thank you so much for your comments, especially about emotion. I really appreicate it!
