This brings tears to my eyes. I think parts 1-6 are canon worthy, and I like how the daughter views her mother through the different stages of her life. I wish that 7 had really, truly happened.
That was just beautiful. I'm sitting here in tears.
What a lovely ending. I really liked this story. It's so true of what every young girl growing up feels about her Mother, but I imagine it would also be harder in a wizarding family, with its traditions and with such an unusual name!
Ugh. I'm bawling. Mother/daughter relationships are so fraught with emotions and you nailed every one of them. As a mother to a daughter and a daughter to a mother there was nothing I could do after this but choke up. Bravo.
That was good - much better than the run of the mill Tonks/Remus [and not much Remus. One of the best about the Black family, then.
absolutely amazing. very touching and sweet.
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
Oh Seren, that last bit brought tears to my eyes! That's saying something, as I am a bit hard-hearted. I loved this, going through all the stages in a woman's live an exploring the critical relationship she has with her mother. Just beautiful. You brought up a point that I had never, ever considered before (perhaps I'm a bit dense) but I never thought that the name of Black would have carried quite a stigma after Bellatrix and Sirius went to prison as Death Eaters. To think that the poor thing was ashamed of being a Black! How sad! I love how she finally came to accept and understand all the things in her life that her mother had bequested upon her--a name, a family, a circumstance. Well-done!
Wow! This is the only story of its type I've seen. It doesn't try to get too deep and complicated, but the imagery is still strong and the story well written. Tonks is without doubt my favourite character, and it's nice to see a canon-faithful portrayal of her.
Yay! More stories about Tonks! I love Tonks, and this was lovely. This was a good expansion on her back ground. I liked learning about her time at Hogwarts. Your pace was even. And I think you accurately described the phases of adoration, anger and acceptence that girls typically go through with their mothers. Please, feel free to write more stories about Tonks.
