That was so fun. I really loved the image of Tonks spinning in the rain. Their non-date banter was just delicious and I liked how it showed the undercurrent of their real feelings.

I think this:
“On the first non-date? What kind of werewolf do you think I am?”
was my favourite line :) I love how jokey Remus is and him being able to joke about the W word just shows how comfortable he feels with her and their friendship.

Aww, thank you! :D It was a lot of fun to write, and I can't help but love putting a little playful spirit into fics about these two.

Yes! That's exactly what I was going for! I really wanted to show how close they'd grown, how natural it was for them to progress a little further in their relationship.

Thanks so much for the comment!

I loved Remus' and Tonks' flirty banter--very well done! The image of Tonks spinning in the rain was very fun. I thought your Remus and Tonks were perfectly in character. Wonderful ending to an excellent story! :D

Thanks very much! I'm glad they were in character; it's a little tricky for me to write them sometimes.

The spinning in the rain bit was probably my favorite part, actually.

Thanks again!

Oh, this is a lot of fun! This is just how I can imagine something starting between these two, Remus getting all Marauderishly caught up in the banter and then spontaneously going for it. And what great dialogue it is -- I literally LOLed at the line about Remus showing more leg. LOL

And the non-kissing in the rain was lovely, too.

Well done!

Thank you so much!

Yes, that's how I see it, too. I think at first she might not pay too much attention, but then he'll do something - yes, very Marauderish - to spark her interest.

This was a lot of fun to write, so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks again!

I love me some fluff! I t makes me happy to get to see their happy moments. But you have to have a little Remus insecurities! I love that he looks at her shoes and thinks "She's probably worn these on real dates." Priceless! Thanks for posting!

[an_ardent_rain]

Aww, thank you! :)

Hee. Yes, I really prefer writing the happy/nice moments for these two. I'm glad you liked the shoe bit; I have a problem with prompts sometimes, so I tried really hard to actually incorporate this one into it.

Anyway, thanks again for the comment!

Love, love, love. This story put a smile on my face that even the eye doctor looming today can't destroy. Well done, you. :) :)

[an_ardent_rain]

Thank you! I do enjoy sharing smiles, hee. This was a lot of fun to write, so I'm glad it's fun to read, too! :)

Thanks again for the comment.
