Thank you so much for reviewing, I was sure I wasn't going to get any reveiws to this one given yesterday's glut of wonderfull posts and the fact that most people have gone into hiding! :)
I'm glad you liked the pace. I very much wanted to create a quiet, intimate, fairly relaxed atmosphere, so I'm pleased it came across something like that.
suddenly a great deal of progress has been made
My intention was for them to come out of this conversation significantly strenghened as a couple, although it happened to a much greater degree than I had originally envisioned when I came to write it. not just in their declaration at the end but in other ways too.
Really liked this bit: That was partly what last year had been about, he now realised, fear, and his method of coping with it. If he denied himself everything, pushed everyone away, then he had nothing to lose. He’d been selfish, he thought, though his intent had been to be selfless.
Thank you. I think the fear was both that he could lose her because of the war and that even if they got together, she would one day reject him. I think Remus very much works on the principle 'reject others before they can reject you', hence resigning rather than waiting to see if he'd be sacked.
I'm glad the dialogue sounded good. It's not something I tend to consider as one of my strengths, and yet I've had more than one comment about it, so I guess I must be doing something right!
