You always make me feel so lonely!

But that's a good thing really!!! It's such a moving story that I can't help it. Your way of working them together is fabulous. It seems a very plausible way for them to get together before seperating....again. Oh tear, but alls right in the end. Love your fic!

I understand what you mean about the lonely thing, and I take it as a compliment. I'm so pleased you feel with the characters. Thanks so much for reading and commenting -- it really is encouraging to hear from fellow fans that my ideas are plausible in relation to canon.

And yes -- no matter what we do to them in fic, all is right in the end. :)

"Couples part all the time, and lycanthropy is rarely the cause."
Great line:)
I like how you avoided the whole too old, too dangerous too, etc lines that a lot of fics use. You let Tonks reason their relationship out basically w/o the lycanthropy involved for most of it. Refreshing!

Aw, that's my personal favorite line, so I'm really pleased it stood out to you.

It's difficult, in writing yet another fill-in-the-blanks saga, to do it in an original way. I don't think I've completely avoided the cliches, but it is really good to know you feel at least this piece wasn't the same old tune.

As always, I truly appreciate you reading and taking the time to offer feedback. :)

I love this series! Once again, you have woven in little things from the book to keep it grounded, but you are definitely venturing out into fresh Remus/Tonks ideas. It's positively delicious to see the slowly simmering relationship.

What a lovely review! Thank you so much for your encouraging words. One of my fears is not doing anything original for this couple, so it's really good to know this seems fresh to you. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and review, and I hope you like my upcoming additions to Transfigured Hearts.

You know... I have only recently started properly shipping tonks/remus. I always loved Tonks because her hair colour changes almost as often as mine, and she was easy to relate to. Remus/Tonks however always struck me as JK's way of giving something good to Remus whom from she had taken so much.

Now, with your fic especially, I see something far more special between the two. It's not just Remus needing Tonks, it seems Tonks needs Remus just as much. It's wonderful when one story suddenly makes everything make more sense. Thank you :)

First off, your icon is the cutest ever. Very much like the image of Tonks in my head. ;)

Second, thank you so much for your very lovely review. I write fanfic for fun and for my own imaginitive outlet. I love to share my fics, but to have my stories cause someone to see the characters in a new light is such a compliment. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and comment.

Happy shippping! :)
