I was looking through all the old documents I have on my computer, trying to avoid doing any real work, and I found a whole bunch of half-written fics that I'd completely forgotten about! With some of them I can't even remember where the stories were going, but this is one that just needed tweaking a little bit before posting.

Oh wow, I loved this! I'm not much for Remus/Tonks at all, but I adored your Andromeda, her hopes for Ted, her memories of Sirius. And Remus proving how much he loves Tonks - very powerful. Lovely little story.

Great story! And I think the title works well. (I can never come up with titles I like, either.) I loved how we heard Andromeda's inner monologue, and the change she went through as she accepted Remus.

"This werewolf who, Andromeda realised as she cleaned up the mess she’d made with a wave of her wand, was as unlike Fenrir Greyback as Dora was Bellatrix."

Awesome line! :D

Isn't it great to come across old fic? Some of it so old that you're no longer invested, and finally willing to polish and post? :)

Great job with your Andromeda. I think my favorite bit was actually the very first paragraph -- I could understand Andromeda's pride in taking control over the family meals, able to contrive for *them* to come out right, even when everything else is falling apart.

Though I have to say I was struck by a darker, less likeable side to Andromeda too -- reprimanding Tonks as if she were seven, remembering that it was "embarrassing" to take her out in public when she was a teenager with uncontrollable morphs -- rough! Mind you, I actually think it works to make her a complex character, but I'm not sure you intended for those parts to come across like that.

Nice foreshadowing with the pig snout. And my heart broke a little for Andromeda, always waiting for Ted to come home. :(
