I read the beginning and I thought- this isn't that odd!

Then- oh. Lol.

Seriously though, everyone needs crack. We have enough R/T angst to last anyone forever lying around- you need fairy godmother crack.

*Snorts*

Thank you. =D

Yeah, I just.... didn't feel like writing angst. XD But it was fun, and I'm glad it amused you. =)

What a nice reprieve from all the Christmas angst stories, which I'm guilty of writing myself. Very creative. And who wouldn't want a kiss from Remus the Wolf King?

[eltea]

Thank you. =) It was a lot of fun to write. =D

Aw, this is so cute! What a fun, whimsical holiday read. I really enjoyed it. Remus is sexy even as a Wolf King. ;)

[eltea]

Thank you. =) It was fun to make all the stuff up, and I'm really glad you liked it. =D

What a great, original idea. I loved Molly as the fairy godmother who feeds people and dresses them warmly, hee. And the dream(?) was fantastic as an allegory of the relationship between Tonks and Remus, especially the way he was there to quietly help her on her journey without taking any credit for it, and the way that kissing him was how she would be able to find her way home. I could almost hear the pieces falling into place in her mind when she saw Remus there in the library. And for all the lighthearted fun in this piece, the last few lines made me blink a little harder. :)

You've got really lovely language all throughout, too. The tomato/lava paragraph at the beginning is fantastic, covering the whole span from vivid imagery to perfectly pitched snide humor. I also really liked the gathering twilight stains the white snow a quiet blue, and dawn-colored sandstone.

Thank you. =D One of my favorite parts was figuring out who everybody would be in the fantasy world. I actually hadn't planned the ending bit that way at all, but when I reached it, that was just what seemed to work best.

I'm glad you liked the tomato sauce lava; I love strange figurative language. XD I also had a little too much fun describing the places she was flying over - I always tend to invent involved settings and scenery for my stories. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. =)

Oh, this was really inventive, and I loved the whimsical tone, how fantasy and reality are blended together, each reflected in the other. Something about Remus and Tonks always feels a bit fairytale-esque to me, and here I thought you put that to great use. I love the idea of Remus being the wolf king, not some down-and-out. Great stuff :D.

Thank you. =) I was actually a little worried that it'd seem strange to have such a disgression into fantasy bookended by more everyday, mundane sections, so I'm really glad you liked it. I really enjoyed making up all the fairytale stuff. =D
