This is really perfect for Valentine's Day. I love how it starts out playful, with him narked that she's played such an inventive trick on him, and then turns sexy at the end - it really encapsualted Remus and Tonks together for me.

And really, if Remus is going to exact revenge like that, I think Tonks is going to be playing a lot more tricks on him in th future ;).

Thank you! Short as it was, I did find it difficult to include the transition from semi-narked!Remus to playful!Remus, so thanks for commenting on that.

And we've always known Tonks is a lucky, lucky girl, right? ;)

I like this - ladybracknell above me pretty much took the words out of my mouth, but I'll add that I like how Remus was mostly annoyed because Snape saw. It shows that even he has a bit of a suppressed grudge. (Not that I blame him in the least!)

Thanks, Amy. I don't normally write a direct conflict between Remus and Snape, but it does seem like Remus'd feel a certain amount of extra humiliation for Snape being witness to something like that.

Have to agree this is a perfect Valentine's Day read. Fun, flirty and then sexy in equal measure, and my only wish is that I'd really love to read the scene where Remus is totally embarrassed in front of Snape and Co., lol.

Really enjoyed this a lot, it's very well done. :)

When this idea first came I was all back hand against the forehead and 'however am I going to tell this tale in less that 1000 words' thinking that I'd have to do the whole thing, and there is a fair bit of back story. But the Good-You-Know-Who helped me, and you can blame her for the lack of the Snape scene. ;)

Thank you, I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed it.

Very inventive way to use the prompt, and somehow it makes total karmic sense that Remus would be seized up with laughter in repayment for using Tonks' first name. Great hex. :) I loved how the fic slowly transformed from silly to sexy. Nice work!

Thanks for mentioning the transition, it did give me a bit of a headache, so I'm glad it worked for you.

Thank you for your comments!
