Remus manages to rob Tonks of her Christmas spirit, but helping her to get it back proves the catalyst for something a tad more lasting than a kiss under the mistletoe. RemusTonks romance through OOTP and HBP. Started before DH.
Such a sweet story! But now I‘m quite sad, thinking about what this couple will have to face after the events of this fanfic. And I now have a huge crush on Remus Lupin!
The story was completely finished in October of 2009, so my first read-through of it took about 2 years because that's how long it took for the author to finish writing it after I first started reading it. I no longer will read incomplete FanFictions because they're often put on permanent hiatus and it causes me far too much pain and frustration.
After this was finished though, it became an annual thing for me to read it around Christmas. There are also times that I end up reading it in the middle of the year, because I do what I want. Last month was one of these times.
I have read many Lupin and Tonks fanfictions, but this one surpasses all of them. In fact, this is my absolute favorite fanfiction of all time. And I say this knowing full well that there are at least three different instances where Tonks let out of breath she didn't know she was holding.
I don’t think this was bad, the characterization just didn’t work for me. It was interesting to see how much the way we see the characters changed tho (Sirius and Remus being 100% straight, the straightest of the straights was really weird to read).
