Fic! Happiness Where I Can Find It

[lls_mutant]

I am no longer a post-doc. ::Sniff:: My boss even kind of choked up when he gave me a kiss on the forehead goodbye.

But anyway. Part 1 (probably of 2 or 3) of that R/S --> R/T fic is posted... here!. Happiness Where I Can Find It. I'm going to finish writing ASAP, because it's all sketched out and it's not THAT much longer. But the challenge deadline hit. :P

Why should you go read it? A few reasons.

1.) It's part of the hp_synergy challenge. Which means it has ART!!!! And the art is by the fabulous and talented andreanna. Even if R/T burns your eyeballs, click and scroll down to the last picture to check out her wonderful drawing of Molly.

2.) If you like R/S, there is much R/S. There is no way I would write something (except for that Remus/Alphard AU) where Remus wasn't involved with Sirius.

3.) If you like R/T, there is much R/T. Hey- it's canon. This is also not one of the "surprise! It's not really R/T!" or bashing Tonks fics.

4.) The romance is very non-graphic- it's really Remus centric.

Anyway, must go for a week. Enjoy!

I love this fic. I love most that there is no angsty internal about gender identity, because that's what I've been running into since HBP, and it never works. Remus has had a long time to suss out exactly what who he sleeps with has to do with who he is, but very little time to grieve -- you make this grief central to his actions, and it feels right. I was so thrilled to finally find that in a fic.

I also love the inclusion of the the duck:-) I've been reading and loving Accidentally in Love for a while, and that fight was one of my favorite parts. I've friended you -- I hope you don't mind, but you write beautifully and you are a Sorkin fan and these two combined to make friending inevitable. I'm not very much in fandom at the moment, so I certainly don't expect reciprocity, as my LJ is more boring than a very boring thing, but I wanted to drop in and say "hi, you rock" before grad school eats my brain again.

Regards,
CJ

Thanks! TOTALLY understand about grad school- I finished about 3 years ago and my brain is still recovering.

I'm glad you enjoyed it- and I'm really glad about the whole bit about gender identity. I totally agree with you. Remus is 37 at this point. I can see him having more conflicts about the things he mentions in canon- his age, his economic status, and his lycanthropy- or the fact that Tonks is related to Sirius or that he's moving on too quick or whatever- than the fact she's a woman. If he'd been with Sirius all that time, maybe. But there's 12 years without Sirius for him to figure it out!
