This is heartwrenching. Everything is so sweet and romantic in the beginning (and I love the fits of nostalgia overtaking the pregnant Tonks who is suddenly interested in family and lineage after a lifetime of rebellion) and yet, when this goes dark, it goes deep. Your description of Andromeda, out the door, and Tonks, sick on the floor are incredibly real and visceral. Tragedy done well.

Thank you.

This was beautiful and very sad. You handled it very well and it was very realistic. It's so sad how they came to decide to name the baby Teddy. It was really great, huge props to you.

This was really good, especially how you managed to switch genres. It went from sweet to romantic to sad, and the whole thing was handled very skillfully. I loved it.
