It was so much fun to play with Sirius and James as teenagers. I was going to include more, but that might have pushed it to an R. ;)

Whenever I sit and think about the metamorphmagus thing, I always wonder if Tonks is asked constantly to change to please her lovers. And what her reaction would be. So it was kind of different to play with that from the opposite side. :D

Thank you for the review!

Even horny, teenage Remus is a softy. =) Love the slice-of-life into the boys' minds and unfortunate habits! If you ever lose a plot bunny again, a follow-up this when Tonks is a bit older than 3 would always be welcome.

What scares me the most is that looking at dirty magazines is probably not the worst thing the Marauders did as teenagers. :D

Oooh, now that would be interesting. Haha, now I have a million plot bunnies swarming through my head. XD

This was a - probably disturbingly - accurate foray into the minds of teenage schoolboys. I really liked what you did with it, though, with James and Sirius egging each other on, Peter pretending he's in on it, and Remus trying to rise above it. And of course with us all sitting there thinking about exactly where Remus will find a girl like that, knowing that he's probably not the kind of person who would ever treat Tonks like that.

It'd be really great if you could find the time at some point to do a follow-up, where Sirius and Remus sit down and have the 'do you remember that time when...' discussion.

That would be great, lol. "Hey, Moony, do you remember that time we were looking at a men's magazine-" "Which time?" :D

I have so many plot bunnies now, when before I had none. :) And I loved the idea of Peter just going along with everything, and pretending he gets the joke. :D

Thank you for the wonderful review!

Oh, I enjoyed this one so much. Ya know, I'd just been thinking about what other jobs Tonks might be suited for with her abilities, and somehow posing for a "men's magazine" hadn't even crossed my mind. Wonder if it pays better than being an Auror?

Wonder if it pays better than being an Auror?

Now that would be something interesting to look into. It probably does, lol. :D

Thank you for the lovely review. :)

Four things spring to mind after reading this immensely enjoyable fic:

A) Thank goodness I was never a 13 year old boy.

B) Such an inspired (and well executed) idea for a Marauder's fic...Wizarding men's magazines... not to be crass, but with this thought in mind, it's surprising the boys ever left the dormitory!

C) The dynamics between the 4 are spot on. Very well done.

D) I second the suggestion for the follow up- can you imagine the look on Remus' face when Sirius reminds him of the conversation? Priceless.

Oh, I know! LOL

B)it's surprising the boys ever left the dormitory!

Now *that* is something I don't want to think about. :| lol

C) The dynamics between the 4 are spot on. Very well done.

*grins sheepishly* Thank you!

D) I second the suggestion for the follow up- can you imagine the look on Remus' face when Sirius reminds him of the conversation? Priceless.

See, now I have plot bunnies for two seperate sequels running around in my head. :D

Thank you for the lovely review! :)
