Be the Light in My Lantern, chapter 14

BE THE LIGHT IN MY LANTERN

Summary: In which Remus and Tonks fight battles, arrest criminals, befriend werewolves, overcome inner demons and, despite it all, find themselves a happy ending. A love story, and a story of the Order years. (At long last, my Remus/Tonks epic, which has been years in the making!)

*sniff* Oh, Remus, if you could only get your wish! Well, with the war ending, that is. ;)

This chapter really shows the stark contrast between the highs of developing love and the lows of war. It's no wonder Remus's emotions are all over the place. I love the glimpse we get of Tonks as seasoned Auror -- and it's sweet that Remus misses her when she's busy, and even goes so far as to admit that to himself. It's sad that Remus wants to keep their relationship secret, but it does seem like something he might do, possibly out of a wish for privacy, or (more likely) out of some misguided idea that even among the Order, it would be bad for Tonks if the others knew she was seeing him.

Loved Arthur's moment, and Remus realizing that people don't often take the time to ask him what he things.

Arthur! Molly and Arthur! Somehow I keep writing them as close friends to the main characters in various stories, and I fall in love with them more each time I do. They're such good people, and such good friends.

Oh, Remus, if you could only get your wish! Well, with the war ending, that is. ;)

Oh, man, I know. Writing Remus and Tonks really is an exercise in masochism sometimes, isn't it?
