Your fics are the awesomest awesome of win!

Marauder AND R/T? Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!

btw: i think ur ljcut is broken

[chococoffeekiss]

Thank you! And thanks for letting me know my ljcut was messed up, I fixed it!
(those give me the most trouble!)

Squee! I'm honored to have been the inspiration (if even in a small way)! I have always thought That Tonks would have fit in quite well with the Marauders and could have given them all a run for their money! I think she could have done a lot for Remus's ego!

I think you really captured the Marauders "Voices", Love the rapid fire banter!

Grease having been the inspiration for Tonk's hair is hilarious.
I've seen several fics that have tried the time travel thing to get Tonks back to the MWPP era, but they all seemed implausible to me. this seems totally possible in the HP universe. Loved it! Thanks!

[chococoffeekiss]

Yay! I've always thought the same thing! :D And you're always good inspiration!

The Marauders are always fun to write, as I imagine they're the kind of guys that always have a joke running!

LOL, I was watching Grease and thinking about how many Frenchie jokes I got when I had pink hair! As for the time travel, it's hard to do right, I just hope it made sense.
So glad you like it!

This was just what I needed tonight. Such a fun read -- but poignant, too -- if only!

I love the contrast between the younger and older Remus, with the younger one being so spontaneous (and even wearing cool sneakers, hee!). It's adorable to see Remus ask Tonks back to his place right away -- but also kind of heartbreaking, to see just how much his difficult life has beaten him down by the time she really finds him.

Please tell me Tonks is going to let him in on the secret someday? ;) Not now, of course, but once they're together. I just can't stand to have him thinking there was a girl who promised to find him again and never did...

Now I will head off to bed grinning at the thought of the Marauders -- even Peter, because I like him before he went bad -- being fans of Grease. (Love this backstory for Remus liking Tonks's pink hair, too.)

[chococoffeekiss]

Yay! I'm glad you liked it (and I'm glad I can count on you to read MWPP, as they'e so much fun to write!)

I love the contrast between the younger and older Remus, with the younger one being so spontaneous (and even wearing cool sneakers, hee!).

I imagine that as a younger guy, before all hell broke loose, he probably wasn't as reluctant and cautious as he is in the later books. I don't think someone could spend so much time with James and Sirius and be so...serious.:D And the sneakers were inspired by meeting Teddy Lupin in the Subway Sandwich store, who was wearing black Chucks. XD

Please tell me Tonks is going to let him in on the secret someday? ;) Not now, of course, but once they're together. I just can't stand to have him thinking there was a girl who promised to find him again and never did...

LOL, after the third or so glass of firewhiskey she might have let something slip... ;)

Thanks so much for reading, and thanks for your review! It definitely made my afternoon!

AWWWWWWW!!!! ...that's really all I can say now. I had something I wanted to say, but I lost it...oh! I loved imagining Remus getting stoned and eating everything XD And making out in a random hallway. Totally cute.

[chococoffeekiss]

LOL! Teenage boys are fun to write...I spend too much time around them, obviously, everything MWPP do in the fic is something I can picture my friends or brothers doing. But, y'know, without the magic. o.O

Somehow I can just see the Marauders sitting in a circle, like on That 70's Show, getting baked and talking about girls, or motorbikes, or Quidditch or whatever. :D

Thanks for reading, love!

I meant to read this yesterday and ran out of time. So I'm reading it NOW. 8D

She didn’t know whether Lupin was intentionally stringing her along, or if he was simply as confused as she was, but her money was on the second.
...pretty much the summary of them, as far as I'm concerned. XD

Remus asked in a worried voice, and flicked the glowing stub of a cigarette in the gutter.
YES. PLZ. PLZ PLZ PLZZZZ. *___*

“Oh, dammit…oh, fuck fuckity fuck.” = win XD

“He was dropped on his head as a child.” “Intentionally.” “And repeatedly.”
There are not words for the amazingness. XD

clever, brash James Potter would be dead in two years, Sirius would be thrown in Azkaban to have his vibrant soul slowly siphoned away, Peter Pettigrew would turn traitor, selling his friends out for protection they seemed more than able to give him, and Remus-Remus would be utterly alone.
ajklfdjsk. Gorgeous.

“Au contraire, mon frère,” = MOAR WIN

Damn it, Lancelot -- I mean, Remus -- why not a little bit of peril??

“Eighteen,” he said, reluctantly. “But it’

Yup, I concur. >D

*grins*
You see, Sirius tries a bit too hard to be a badass, what with the motorcycle, and being rude to the Slytherins, but Remus comes by badassness naturally.

Damn it, Lancelot -- I mean, Remus -- why not a little bit of peril??

Yeah, so far you're the only person that's got it. Yay for tierfal and her illimitable sense of humor! The fact that you like the jokes makes me wanna dance.

*dances*

“Eighteen,” he said, reluctantly. “But it’s okay if you’re older than me, it’s not a problem-“ “Yeah.” She smirked, stepping out the emergency exit door into the rainy alley. “You remember that.”

I think you'll agree with me, thatt had to be done. XD

I LOVE YOU!

It's like how parents try to be cool and only end up being uncool because they're trying. XD

WHAT? Nobody for Monty Python???? That's honestly one of the funniest lines in the film...! XD
