buckle-berry was giving out prompts yesterday for Tonks drabbles and I asked for one.

divergent dreams draw you together

Late at night, after she's bandaged up wounds and forced food down raw throats, Tonks climbs into bed and stares at the ceiling, praying for a night of uninterrupted sleep without any dreams of burning flesh. Remus tosses and turns next to her, mumbling instructions and ingredients for various potions.

She wonders sometimes if he ever dreams about the future the way she does. She thinks she might like a cottage in the country where they can settle down and live without fear. She never asks him though, she can't.

They're losing a battle they were never meant to fight.

By the way, rabidfan and shoshannagold, I know I never did your drabbles from last month. I want to say you should get them today if only because I need to do something to make sure today isn't a complete waste (which it's shaping up to be).
