OMG so cute! Especially the 'look at this pile of old clothes' part.

Haven't got anything much more coherant than that I'm afraid - too overcome by cuteness. :)

Oh, thank you for my AU birthday fluff! What a lovely look at life in the Lupin family. And it was made all the sweeter for Tonks lingering anxiety about the war. I especially liked the bit about Tonks getting nervous when Teddy wandered off - I imagine they've kept him very close indeed, given the battle and what almost happened. (Are you paying attention, JKR? Almost happened.)

Aww, a family moment! The idea of Remus as a dad just melts my heart, and his interaction with Teddy here is exactly the way I'd picture him. And it does seem very realistic for Tonks to have a certain sense of guilt after the battle (there wasn't necessarily a right decision for her to have made that night, but still). Not to mention the ordinary mother's regret when her child starts to grow up!

Just what I needed on a Sunday night faced with going back to work tomorrow! Thanks for the AU goodness! It made me all warm and fuzzy!

I think R/T deserve all the happy fluff they can get, so I was delighted to see this! The interaction between Remus and Teddy, and then Tonks and Teddy - aww when he gives her the flower - is lovely. I liked how Tonks is still so aware of what she, and they, could all have lost and therefore appreciates it even more.
