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!)

This chapter may be my favorite yet, writing-wise. You've got a lot of different threads here, and they all fit together and reinforce each other. Tension is building in the war just as it is in the relationship. Lots of different glimpses of foreshadowing, like Sirius being overconfident in his duelling, or Sirius and Tonks warning Remus not to put things off with the future so uncertain, or Remus flat-out admitting he can't promise not to change his mind again.

Love Tonks's memory of the kiss in the entrance hall -- and the way they end this chapter, knowing that love will be difficult, but their friendship is important. *sniff*

(Good luck with all you've got on your plate for the holidays and moving and all of that! Very glad you're thinking about rt_morelove. :) )

Wow, thank you! I'm really pleased to hear that, especially because I do sometimes wonder if this chapter makes for one too many ups-and-downs in an already ups-and-downs-filled relationship... It's something I might do differently if I were to write this story now, but ah well!

(And yes, being ridiculous as I am, last night instead of getting enough sleep, I stayed up and wrote a piece for rt_morelove. Heh.)
