Another timely and wonderful chapter. I wish there were more fanfics involving this coupling. Love to read these chapers.
Author's Response: Thank you! Feel free to Email me if you want links to my favorite Lupin/Tonks stories. There are a few great ones out there.
Awww... Finally ;-) Still, I want more! I really like your characterisation. Your Tonks is a lot more mature than most Tonks' are in fandom, which is a nice change. Also, I like that this chapter is almost entirely out of Remus perspective, I believe the previous ones where a litte more from Tonks' POV. Looking forward to the next update!
Author's Response: Thank you! Just because Tonks can relate to and entertain teenagers, doesn't mean she isn't a grown up. Glad you're liking it.
I'm soooooo glad Tonks isn't going to act all depressed (anymore) and heartbroken over Remus rejection and finally starts giving him a run for his money. He really doesn't stand a chance. (Chuckles )
Author's Response: She is just what Remus needed, isn't she? Thanks!
Ugh, I can't believe more people are reviewing. I love this freakin' story!
Author's Response: Glad you like it!
So good I must review each tasty chapter.
Author's Response: I am so pathetically grateful!
Addicting!!!!
Author's Response: Goodie! Thanks for letting me know!
Just the kind of fic I was craving for. You've helped my R/T fix. Nice.
Author's Response: Happy to feed your addiction. Thanks for the review!
Awww! I just love Tonks, she's so kickass. And her lovingly tormenting Remus is both entertaining and fun to read. I hope he wises up real soon. Great update.
Author's Response: Yes, a man who refuses to give in to his baser urges. A rare find, and he must be tortured for it. Thanks!
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
Author's Response: *Blushes* Thanks!
*Rubbing hands together* Oooh, getting good now! Love the idea of Remus and Andromeda meeting. Maybe spending time with her will make him miss Tonks more. I even hope *crosses fingers* that Tonks can catch them together and give Renmus heck. Great story!
Author's Response: Andromeda wasn't really supposed to be a large character. But I had so much fun with her, grilling her daughter, that I thought she deserved a shot at Lupin, too. I think she is going to have a great scene in chapter 16, in bed with Ted. ;-)
Just had to review since no one had...love the story and have reread it a million times. Keep it up.
Author's Response: This was honestly the first chapter I imagined, even before HBP. I wanted to see a blunt, humorous conversation between these five characters with a little UST betweeen Lupin and Tonks. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Gotta love Molly and Moody for their tough advice. Each conversion Tonks and Remus had was exceptionally well written. I love this story more with each chapter.
Author's Response: I love Molly and Moody too. They seemed to write themselves. Thank you for sticking with me!
Wonderful chapter. I love the interaction between your characters. I can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thank you!I enjoyed making them squirm with all the personal questions! Plus I love Molly and Moody, and wanted to see how different they would be interacting with adults. Thanks for the review.
Ouch, that was a heartbreaking scene! Poor Tonks...and Remus, since it's obvious how much they love one another. Stubborn man! I love the writing and the angst. Great story.
Author's Response: Thank you for your continuing reviews! I enjoyed expanding on the 'too old, too dangerous, too poor' mantra.
Hi, I just found this. Great work and characterizations thus far. Looking forward to the next chapter! I just hate it when Remus tries to rationalize why he shouldn't be loved...*sighs*
Author's Response: All the more reason for us to love him, because he thinks he doesn't deserve it!
Thank you for the review!
Sheesh! That's it, I'm packing up my army boots and shipping them to Tonks so she can plant one up Remus' bum. talk about the king of hard headedness. (if that's actually a word?) you must be doing a great job with this story - I feel Tonk's frustration so well I'm near tears myself.
Author's Response: He is stubborn isn't he? There's Nothing harder to budge than a man who thinks he's right, is there?
Fortunately, they have a few exploitable weaknesses, don't they?
Thanks for the review! I am very flattered that I got you to feel Tonks' pain.
Evil cliffhanger! *curses* ;-)
Author's Response: You think that is bad, just wait until you read the last chapter I wrote. ;-).
But, there will be some lightness and humor coming up in the next chapter. I should have it up in a day or so.
Chapters two and three are just as good as the first. This is great! Keep going!
Author's Response: Thank you for continuing to review! I am up to twelve chapters, so keep checking in as I am still fine-tuning them.
Hi! I've waited for a long time for somebody to write a story that explores this relationship and I am happy that someone finally wrote it! Very good work, I hope you have a fast beta ;-)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I have read a lot of good Remus/Tonks since the book came out. Glad you liked my version!
Hmm, very good, you've definitely captured my attention. What not to like about Remus and Tonks.
Author's Response: I hope this next chapter keeps your attention then! Thanks for the review!
Excellent beginning. Very good character development. I like what you did with Mad Eye.
Author's Response: Thank you! I actually will explore Moody a little in this story, including a little personal history, and his relationship with Remus. I hope you will like it.
I like your beginning. your characters seem true and your story quite touching. keep up the good work
Author's Response: Thank you!! I think it is a rather slow start but things pick up quite a bit in the next two chapters

I did really like it. Please do not let us wait too long for the next chapter!
Author's Response: Thank you! Glad you like it. I will post soon.
Wow! Very interesting beginning! Tonks and Remus both appear very much in character. Can't wait for more :)
Author's Response: Yay! My first review! Thanks so much! Nine more chapters are coming soon, they just need to be beta'ed
