Of course, I had to save the Remus/Tonks fic till last - especially when I saw the title! I don't know if this is the one you were working on when on the train, but I'll never tire of R/T get together fics as they're always my favourites, especially during OotP. It seems to me that they're at their happiest when we see them in canon and, despite what's happened to Arthur, they are here as well. You've probably worked out by now that I'm a sucker for a good dance scene (Remus was looking not unlike Pasha at one point in my vivid imagination;)), and the humour of "Don't call me Nymphadora" leading to Remus calling her Dora seemed very characteristic of both. As did the sweetness of their mutual declarations coming straight after such danger and fear.

Please share this at metamorfic_moon and elsewhere if you want to, it would be lovely to see some last R/T Christmas stories going up there once more. And thank you so much again for ALL the work and thought. I couldn't have had nicer gifts and shall add them all to my Memories. :)

It was actually the one I was working on the train, nothing like R/T to get me through a boring train journey!

(Remus was looking not unlike Pasha at one point in my vivid imagination;)),
NGL that was totally my inspiration in that scene, lol!

Thanks, I'm really pleased you liked your gifts and especially this one :)

YAy! Thank you for posting. I am SO not ready to say goodbye to these two, and I'm glad to see some others are too! Lovely little Christmas gift!

[katyscarlett76]

Me either! R/T Forever!

Thanks, I'm pleased you liked it!

This is sweet, and I think it's one of my very favorites of all your R/T stories. I love the way you've written the scenes so vividly, putting the reader right there to see what the characters see and peek into their thoughts.

Tonks's knee-jerk reaction to "Nymphadora" made me laugh! But luckily, it made Remus laugh, too. ;)

It would be so wonderful if you did post this at metamorfic_moon, hint hint. ;)

Thanks so much :) I'm really pleased you liked it!

My Christmas was sorely lacking without R/T, so thank you very much. :) I loved that you got a balance of the seriousness of their relationship and the fun aspect, and I really like the image of them dancing for hours in front of the fire, with all this emotion in their slow steady movements. Thank you for writing this. <3

This is beautiful! I loved Tonks' excuse for Arthur's being at the Ministry--brilliant! And the entire dance scene was fabulous! I loved Sirius' running around with mistletoe, and the Weasley twins . . . but the R/T moment was the best, of course! :) Thank you for an excellent story! :D
