Quick thought

You know, JKR was really, really, really, really cruel to Remus this round.

I mean, really.

Did she really think about what she was making him do in this book?

I've started writing it for the Remus/Sirius --> Remus/Tonks fic I'm working on, and WOW. All I can say is, after putting him through this, if Tonks makes him happy, good. The poor guy needs SOMETHING- even if it's a crappy hospital scene and a hand holding.

Seriously- and I say this as the highest compliment, as pfrsue can attest to- JKR is a psychotic bitch.

Eek! I'm inspiring people! :) Yeah, except for this one, and maybe one other (explanation in a second), no more Tonks fic from me. At least, no more HBP Tonks fic.

The other one I keep getting in mind... well, I'm a country fan, and there's this song called "Homewrecker." There's lyrics in it that go "you can take it somewhere else or we can take it outside." It's so tempting to write Sirius and Tonks during OotP, with Remus utterly oblivious.

And yeah- the story of the Marauders is really, really depressing. Which is why I should start buying stock in Kleenex before I finish Accidentally In Love!

Sirius/Tonks?

Aren't they... cousins? Also, with Tonks being away from this particular family, she wouldn't really feel anything towards Sirius (I just don't understand the pairing) and they never shared any page time during OoTP. I'd buy the Remus/Tonks over Sirius/Tonks to be honest. Apart from Remus and Harry, no-one seemed to pay Sirius much attention.

Oh, no, no, no! :) Sorry- that didn't come across clearly. Sirius and Tonks, as in Tonks flirting with Remus and Sirius's reaction to it, not Sirius/Tonks! But what I was thinking was something where Tonks is trying to flirt with Remus, and Sirius getting very jealous and annoyed because he's in a relationship with Remus. And doing the whole thing from Sirius's point of view, where he's polite to Tonks in public, but behind the scenes, watch out, because he's ticked. Plus that elegant brand of sarcastic cutting down that he could do at the dinner table and only a few people would really catch on.... (but is so hard to write.) And of course, Remus being utterly oblivious to them sniping at each other, because they're both hiding it from him.

Yeah, Tonks/Sirius is just... ew.

Oh that would be fun

It really would. But it would take a deft hand to write though, and I could see Remus being really clueless, because well... he's with Sirius (that's just my bias speaking, don't mind me).
