I was tempted to write you a TTTW fic for your birthday, but my one idea didn't seem very birthdayish, and anyway I was more in an R/T mood, and when I sat down to mull over birthdayish R/T plots, this was the first bunny that popped into my mind. I thought you might be pleased with it, and I'm thrilled that you liked it so much! I really wanted it to be right for you, and to include all those crazy ideas we talked about, as well as a few surprises. (The Dursleys surprised me, lol.)

Speaking as someone who's never been drunk, I'm absolutely ecstatic that you think I've managed to write a convincing drunken progression! I wasn't sure what to do except resort to physical comedy and mixing up words! Seems like that was the right choice. One of the things I always loved most about the Shell Cottage scene was that Remus trips over the threshold and is almost Tonks-like through the scene. He needs to have babies more often. ;)

And of course I'm very happy you found Remus endearing; I have to think part of Tonks envies that she doesn't get to be out there with him, getting smashed and saying inane things on the public airwaves. But then again, she gets to nurse her baby, and she must be glad Remus is running around on his own because he's so happy, for once. ;)

Thank you so much, dear; I loved every second of writing this for you, and I can't ask for a better comment than you'll be reading it again. :D
