This was a very very good. Unfortunately I don't have much to add that hasn't already been said but just very good. The most convincing AU I've read. By that I mean if they weren't magical I can really imagine their life like this. With less murder of course XD

I also read the rs_games entry. I'm a little unsure why everyone sees Tonks as a really bad person. I mean yes, she is horrible in the sense that she gets in the way of what we want; Remus and Sirius together. Her behaviour before the incident was horrible but I assume it was only because she suspected Remus of being unfaithful or simply wasn't happy with him because he wasn't happy with her. To be quite honest she had a pretty natural reaction to finding out her husband was sleeping with someone else. Her stoning and disease etc comments were quite off but I'm not convinced she really meant those terrible things, but just that she was upset. Sirius was the 'bad human' here for attacking her.
Look at me, I don't even like Tonks and I adore the boys!

Idek I mean the whole idea of the fic is pretty horrible anyway isn't it!
The actual story was very very good though and the writing was brilliant and original. I very much loved James and Lily at the end.

I did enjoy reading it, and will save it to read again later :)

I'm really touched that you took the time to read the fic and comment, with such insight as well. Thank you very, very much! :)

I thought a lot about Tonks in DH while I was writing this, and how she must feel when Remus goes off and leaves her when she's pregnant, and tells Harry he shouldn't have married her... Even for diehard R/S fans, Remus's behaviour was inexcusable, IMO. I know in canon Tonks continues to worship R and probabaly wouldn't have been able to live without him, even for Teddy's sake, but that strikes me as totally screwed up. I think a real life Tonks would have reacted just as defensively as Tonks in the fic reacts to Remus's attitude towards her.

By that I mean if they weren't magical I can really imagine their life like this. With less murder of course

Lol! :D I can see what you mean...
