I really liked that. It was interesting how the stages of grief skipped around in time. I also liked the subtle way you worked the prompt in. Good job!

Thanks! At one point I was beginning to despair that the prompt would make an appearance at all, but it snuck in there at the last minute.

Liked it too! Good use of the prompt, it was very Tonks!

Thank you. In spite of the fact that most of my fic up to this point has been R/T, I always worry when I write Tonks that I'll be unable to find her voice.

Wow, this is so great! I love your use of the prompt =].

Thanks. I was a bit worried people would get confused and start looking for a prompt on the five stages of grief. But I managed to sneak some Cummings in there at the end.

That punch-line for the win!!!

This is beautiful, and it so absolutely makes sense... Especially the way he was ALONE for most of his grief - but he's there for hers. How gentle he is, despite the fact that his own thoughts are akimbo... Aaah. lovely!

the punch line came to me at the very last minute, as I was getting ready to post. Tonks definitely wanted to get in the last word.

I really like how you took the different stages of grief and related them to Tonks' feelings. Well done!
