I really liked the banter with Bill at the start, and Tonks' poem is very sweet--just the sort of thing I could see her writing.

And the bit about Hestia/Moody is really funny! :D

Lovely little ficlet.

Thank you so very much! I'm really glad you liked the poem, and I had so much fun writing the scene with Remus and Bill. Glad you got a chuckle out of Hestia/Moody. I've got this thing about what he does with that x-ray vision... ;)

"This poem is crap,
But I'm telling you true,
Your eyes are my charm
When I'm feeling blue."

LOL! I enjoyed this a lot, and you've made Bill, who is usually so nondescript, quite sexy in it as well. Great interaction between the two of them!

Thank you so much! I'm especially pleased you like my take on Bill. I want to like him, because I adore Fleur, but we just don't see much interesting about him -- except we know he's supposed to be really cool. So I had fun trying to capture that side, and somehow it helped to have him playing off Remus, who we've seen be very cool. ;)

Though it isn't necessarily the image central to the fic, I love picturing Remus and Tonks sitting on a park bench in the middle of the city, expressing their affection with poetry and touching.

So very sweet.

Well done!

[mrstater]

Thank you very much! I was hoping the flashback scene wouldn't get lost in the shuffle, and I'm really glad you liked the image because that quiet part was my favorite as well.

Hestia and Moody?!

Now that is one scary thought. ;)

I love Remus's happy memory, of Tonks making a happy memory for him. And the line, "I shall certainly conjure a Patronus by thinking about you thinking about my eyes to conjure a Patronus.", totally made sense to me, lol. :)

Wonderful use of the prompt.

[mrstater]

You know me and my thing for scary pairings. ;)

Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm really glad you liked my take on the prompt. For some reason it took my mind immediately to cheesy poetry, and I'm glad you liked how that worked into Remus' happy memory.

Thank you! I had a lot of fun with the Bill and Remus parts, so I'm glad you enjoyed it, too.
