Great picture of grief. I love the way you added a dimension to Tonks behavior in OOTP for me. She cared for Sirius, but his death brings home to her that whatever Remus may feel for her he loved Sirius and is mourning him. She loves Remus no matter what his feelings for Sirius, and she can't even feel jealous, just sad. Nicely done.

The last line is so true of grief. Remus is perfect in his dignity.
