Adorable! I love how he he stops to ponder and savor flirtation. That's just so downright Remus-y. :D

=D Thank you! I have to agree, I doubt he's used to being flirted with all that much (and why ever not? silly women) so having someone young and pretty do so probably stops him in his tracks every time!

The banter between them is great, and I love the idea that his middle name being John is to pacify the grandparents :)

I have to admit, I would have been baffled if I were you with your prompt - I've never even heard of a Christmas fair ;)

Oh, I admit, I had to google them first, then found LOADS. I narrowed it down to one in Hyde Park famous for having the largest ice-skating rink in London. Had I more time? I SO would've had to have written that part!

Thanks so much for reading it, the banter kind of flowed and little ideas just kept popping up, like Tonks wanting a normalish name and, of course, Remus' middle one.

Excellent flirtyness! That has to be one of my favorite things about your fic, but I also like the idea of a Christmas fair:D

I LOVE fic where they're either still realizing they like each other, or have just gotten together. That adjustment period must've been so amusing to watch, so I love that you enjoyed it!

And...I admit, I kind of want to go to a Christmas Fair now!

I really like OotP!Remus and Tonks, and these two were really fun. I loved that Remus adores Christmas, it's really original and it really works! I also liked the little anecdote about 'John' and Voldemort's bunny. You make me wish it was still Christmas!

Oh, I could write Christmas fic all year long, honestly. It's such a perfect time of year for love and family and friends and guh, I'm a sap. Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Aw, I love the thought of them learning bits about each other on a date. Nice job with the Christmas fair prompt! Only I fear for Tonks on the ice, hehe.

Aw, thank you! I was, admittedly, pretty worried for Tonks' safety. Knowing Remus, he'll secretly charm the skates to stay up or something, crazy man. :)
