Aw, it's so lovely to know this came at the right time! (There's a fic of yours I've had waiting for an end of the day treat, which I have to say is also very well timed. ;))

And it's even lovelier to know you liked this so much. :) The brains behind this little operation were very much gilpin25's, who wrote so convincingly as Remus that I really felt a bit antsy every time I checked my email, hoping for another letter from him! Very glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks the notes feel authentic. And so pleased you think Tonks' does, as well, although again I think that became very easy because of the great material gilpin25 provided for me to reply to. :)

I'm personally very thrilled you liked the drunken note! I had far, far too much fun coming up with that one, especially after I googled "posh London clubs" and found a real one with a swimming pool in it called The Aquarium (which is at the same address as The Grindylow Tank, should you ever be in London and looking for a club ;)) and the possibilities of wizarding swimming pools and Tonks in one were too much to resist!

One of the other funnest - but trickiest - things about this fic was the undercover plot! We were worried there might be holes so we tried to cover them up with as many jokes as possible, lol, but it's greatly relieving that you think his "mysterious work for the Order" is convincing both storyline-wise and for Remus' emotional arc. And of course it made it lots of fun with coming up with secret code names that were both funny and recognizable! I remembered reading on the Lexicon once that Dumbledore meant bumblebee, and that seemed like a lot more fun than referring to him as Uncle Albee or something, lol.

Definitely we're continuing on with this! You may just hear a bit about Mrs. C and her sticky toffee pudding. ;)

Thank you, again, so much for your lovely feedback. It always means a great deal - to both of us!
