Prompts 10, 11, 18: Out of Reach

Aug 28, 2007 21:46

It’s the morning after Bill and Fleur’s wedding and I wake up feeling happy, which is odd because the world has gone to hell around me, Scrimgeour’s dead, Death Eaters have taken over the Ministry, Harry, Ron and Hermione have vanished to who knows where, the Death Eaters questioned the rest of us for hours and my parents have been tortured, but I ( Read more... )

You're thinking of The Ramones' "I Don't Want To Live This Life Anymore" =)

Fantastic job. You've got both Tonks and Remus spot on.

I too noticed that Remus referred to her as 'Tonks' at GP with Harry, as if he's trying to detach himself from 'Dora'. Stupidly silly man! And when Teddy's born he calls her 'Dora' to everyone =)

Well done!

Yeah, I probably am, it was probably on the radio as I was writing and got stuck in my head! Thanks for that!

And thanks for your kind words, I was really nervous about posting as I never have before. I've really enjoyed all your fics for the ficathon so I'm glad you enjoyed mine :)

This put a sad face on my...well, face. I bet if Harry knew exactly what went down in his situation, he would've been the one to hex Remus first, and ask questions later.

Yeah he would, wouldn't he! Remus needed someone to do that! I kind of got the feeling from chapter 11 that Remus wasn't thinking clearly and hadn't considered the effect on Tonks of his leaving again, that and the prompts inspired this.

Thanks for your comments.

I think it's great girl! Way to go, I didn't want to stop reading. Keep it up!

Awww sweetie, thanks for reading! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Well done, hon! I always knew you had a hidden writing talent. ;) Poor Tonks! I felt so bad for her! You did an excellent job of conveying emotions, and Rem and Tonks both seemed just like canon.

The only thing I noticed that didn't really fit with canon was that when Harry sees Remus and Tonks at his birthday party, they are together then... anyway, other than that, superb! Great job - I hope you'll write more someday!!

Thanks sweetie! Glad you enjoyed it, I was soo nervous to post it! Hopefully I will post some more at some point :)

I thought Harry's birthday was before the wedding? I dunno I haven't re-read DH yet (can't bring myself too!) so I did take a few liberties with the time frame for artistic purposes! Like Harry comments on her looking "radiant" but I 'm not sure whether that was at his party or at the wedding, either way that would be before this fic, anyway *shrugs*

I'm glad you liked it and thanks for your faith in me! *hugs*

Wow, that was intense and really painful!

Reading it, felt like an emotional ride on the rollercoaster, the emotion changed from happiness over confusion to pain, you managed to write that so well, enjoyed reading it!

Those are the feelings I was hoping to get across, so I'm glad it worked! I'm pleased you enjoyed it and thanks for your comments :)
