Drabblefic #4: Remus/Tonks, "Motivational Speeches"

Aug 05, 2008 00:11

Author's Note: For mrstater, who wanted Remus/Tonks and underwear. I also had the option of including Teddy - he's around somewhere. ;) Only 797 words this time, and rated PG-13. Never tried anything like this before...

Oh this is incredibly cute!

I love their banter about her pregnancy, and the list of things you can get during pregnacy, resembles my reasons against it for the time being ;)

Thank you very much - really glad you liked it!

It is a bit off-putting when you see the list of things, isn't it? And I thought of several others I didn't put down for fear of this ending up the first ever 11,000 word drabble, lol. On the other hand, you could be like my friend, who felt marvellous throughout the nine months, looked it too, and then promptly had another baby straight afterwards and felt awful the whole time. Luck of the draw?! Or perhaps you need to be a Metamorphmagus... ;)

Oh this is fab! R/T in all there sarky, witty glory. I have too many favourite lines to quote them all and I chuckled and smiled all the way through.

I love that underneath all the humour, this was a really sweet and telling relationship moment.

Love it! :)

Thanks very much!:D I'd never written a dialogue-only fic before, and it's so quick when you get to miss out all the "he said, she saids" etc. I'm glad you enjoyed it as it was fun to write, though I just hoped everyone could 'see' the scene as I did and that the dialogue was saying enough. Still can't believe my first ever DH fic is a deranged and hormonal Lupin family moment, lol.

Ha! Ha! I love this! Remus is sweet! You have their personalities nailed. I never really thought about how Tonks would feel being pregnant, but this gives me a lovely insight. Thanks for the great fic and write more! :)

Thanks very much! Glad to hear you enjoyed it, and I solemnly swear to write more!:D

Very well done. Dialogue fics can be very difficult to pull off, but when you do it often equates to great characterisation, which you've definitely managed here. Kudos.

I love your characterisation of Remus. Pfft, what a sweetie, what a charmer. That's what I love about him. ;D

Apologies for taking so long to reply to your kind comments - can I blame Christmas madness (or just madness?;)) and everyone in the family deciding to be ill at the same time? Fortunately they do seem to be recovering as one as well!

Am so pleased you like this as I'd never attempted a dialogue fic before, and I did wonder if it would quite read and come across as I hoped it would. And I'm thrilled you think this Remus here has charm: that's why I love him too.

Thank you.:D
