Wow...

I'm all a bit jelly-like and fingers are going everywhere so forgive me if this makes little sense.

I absolutely love this. I love how you write Molly and her interest in Remus and Tonks' blossoming relationship. It's so much more romantic because Molly knows what true love is and wants it for the people she loves in her extended family.

Remus is completely dishy, and I'm a real sucker for him having complete faith in Tonks to do something outside her comfort zone, and this is very nicely done.

I think what I love the most about this is how you've made is so very sexy without actually writing the physical stuff. The details of Remus' stubble and her dishevelled locks work so well here to draw a complete picture, and the slightly dazed feeling of just discovering something so new, so exciting as the beginning of love is done so well, and that feeling of wanting to keep it secret, because it's the first thing you shared and it's only for you is palpable.

A lovely, lovely fic. One I will be re-reading many times. :) Sigh.

Can't tell you how thrilled I am you like it so much. It was very fortuitous that I ended up with the 'Dance' prompt as I don't need much of an excuse to get them on that floor.

I'm glad you like Molly, as well. Before I met Mr Gilpin, people in happy relationships were very keen to matchmake for me, and it quite frequently drove me mad and I was quite sure I wouldn't do it to anyone else. Yet, when you're happy, you do want everyone to feel what you do, and I find it very touching in the books that she obviously hasn't had an easy life with Arthur but she's absolutely determined to get R/T together! All of which is a very long-winded way of saying that she was ideal as both the person to quiz Tonks and empathize with her. Though some things you just like to hug to yourself for a bit. ;)

Most of all, I'm chuffed you think it's sexy. The stubble line was originally what a rather unexciting drabble ended on, and I liked the idea of what that was saying without actually writing what had happened. Besides, you'd all have seen a snog coming a mile off!

Thanks so much for such a lovely review. You know I appreciate it.
