First of all...EEEEEEE!*spazzy fangirl happy dance* Ohh my gosh do you KNOW how BRILLIANT that was? Ahhh, I'm so happy now, I'm grinning like an idiot!:D Ad giggling...actually giggling - and speaking of giggling, I loved that bit about 'Nymphadora Tonka didn't giggle' hahaha:D. so Tonks! Lol!:D :D. Ahhh this was so utterly and absolutely in all ways BEAUTIFUL! And since I think it is easily one of the most awesome and stupendous things I've ever read, and because it's the last chapter and you totally deserve it, I read through it a second time already so that I can tell you ALL my favorite moments and quotes. Yeah, there's a lot of them! Haha:D …
You had me grinning right off the bat with: "I told you I'd catch you." - so cute!:D
The bit about what was still bothering her was so good - because it was totally and completely understandable, and also definitely something that she would be feeling, so it was realistic, and believable. And of course it gave way to that beautiful kiss!*sappy fangirl grin* :D That whole bit there where he kissed her...Ahhh! I love it! He was so sooo sweet!;') ❤
I love how you write Tonks (have I mentioned that? Haha:D) - she's so human, so realistic, I love it! When he doesn't kiss her, she mistakenly assumes that he was just saying those things to make her feel better. Which is so what any of us girls would do in that situation! And Remus! Oh I would say I swooned except I really have no idea what that means! Rotfl!:D
But WOW! I loved what he said: "That's not what I meant, Dora, I swear." He said, voice containing a note of desperation. "I mean - I just meant I don't want you to rush into this because you're feeling vulnerable. What-what I mean to say is, I'll still want to be with you tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that. I want you to be ready."
Yeah, that's what made me start to cry! He's so sweet, even of it was just because he was convinced she couldn't really feel that way about him!
And then of course...Remus HAD to do his doubting bit - but you did it so well! He was so kind...blind, but very kind!(Remus was so cute with the "What're you doing?" haha:D) But my heart went out to him when he said: "It's just - I don't want you to, sometime in the future, regret this. I don't want you to, later, regret me.". It was so utterly Remus of him! Or of you, shall I say!:D You did spectacularly!
And Tonks made me laugh out loud with the: "I'm not doing this because I have some half-assed, purely physical crush on you."
Brilliant, but so up front and Tonks-ish!'
And I loved that she was open and honest with him about why she needed to kiss him. And his reaction was of course, heart melting! ;')
I believe I finally ended up crying right around "Of course you will." So. Sweet!
And the kiss! Ahh...it was PERFECT! So gentle, sweet, loving. It was perfect! That's really the best word for it, perfect!:D ❤
And the bit with her hair! I absolutely adored that!:'D
When she tells him she loves him, (I do too, so I totally get her point! Hahaha:D) that whole bit is so so lovely!
And Remus Lupin is speechless! Haha:D That was so sweet though, I loved it! It was so like him, that was a fantastic idea on your part!
And of course Sirius was right - he always seems to be! Hahaha:D I actually have a bit in mine where he tells her so! Lol! (yes, it's hard to explain, but you shall see:))
And Tonks's response made me grin!:
"As in completely, utterly, madly, in love with you, yeah."
And when he says, finally getting it, "You love me." I was grinning (scratch that - I was beaming too! Heehee:D❤) AND crying at the same time!;'D That was probably my favorite moment!❤
And Molly's Patronus! I. Love. It! You have Molly Weasley down to a T! I have always wondered what her Patronus was, and that seems perfect!
Can I use that? Hahaha:D :D
And the bit where she wants him to stay, but feels embarrassed because she thinks she's being 'needy' is so sweet! I absolutely adore Remus through the rest of this!:D
I love how Remus sees that there's something wrong, he's so attuned to her - it's so sweet!:')
This bit here made me smile a TON!:D
'Remus returned her embrace gently, murmuring, "It'll be okay."
"I know." Tonks surprised herself by saying. "I've got you."
And also, a very close second for my favorite moment would be awarded to the bit where he comforts her after her nightmare. (which you wrote very tastefully, might I add! I'm not scandalized in the slightest! Hahaha:D. And it was so very like a dream too - starts out normal like it could be real, then abruptly turns awful and nightmarish! You did a brilliant job with that!) - because he's so sweet there!;').
And when she tells him what her nightmare was, I was crying there too, especially when he said: "I could never be disgusted by you."
And also: "It wasn't." Remus said, still holding her. "It never will be."
And how, when she asks him to, he stays with her and just holds her...Ahh! I am having a SIRIUS (haha:D) fangirl moment here! Heehee:D *fangirl happy dances like I just ate out Honeydukes)
And the end was utterly, totally, and completely brilliant! I loved how, while it was realistic, because she knew she'd still have hard things to work through, she was at peace with him, and none of it mattered.
So so completely beautiful!❤❤❤❤
You have done such a wonderful, lovely job with this story, and I believe it shall be my great pleasure to re-read it quite often! Heehee:D With tissues, of course! :D
I sure am going to miss those Wednesday updates though - I had a really rotten day, and this cheered me right up! As did you mentioning me in your thank-yous! ;') ❤. I'm glad I could help, but as I've said, it really is my pleasure!:D I hope you write more soon, I shall be eagerly waiting!:D
Wonderful job with this, I really really love it!❤❤❤

Oh my goodness! That was absolutely completely totally amazing! I wouldn't change a single thing! Sorry for not reviewing for so long but I kept seeing the emails for the new chapters in class and the forgetting to read them when I got home but today I finally managed to get caught up. I cannot believe that you aren't a published writer! Your skill is absolutely amazing. Maybe you'll be the next J. K. Rowling one day! I'm sad that the story is over but the ending was so perfect. Poor Tonks! And I don't know if I've mentioned this before but I love Tonk's reaction to the name Nymphadora. Even when she is in shock she can't help but correct him but when he says "I love you, Nymphadora" she doesn't care! Brilliant story, I can't wait for your next one!

Goodness! That was a really emotional story, absolutely loved everything about it. This has always been one of my favorite couples, they both are such strong characters, and so lovable. You nailed their personalities and gosh, it was just amazing.
On a totally random note, YOUR PEN NAME IS AMAZING! I love it! :)
Keep writing!

perfect ending! i love how Remus was like "...wait, what?" when she told him she loved him. it seems a very Remusy thing to do. I like how you ended it acknowledging the fact that she's not completely healed- that it'll take time. Very well written, amazing character development in both Tonks and Remus. =]

I am feeling much better about Remus now! It is perfectly understandable that he would be angry (I would be concerned if he wasn't) and I can also see how Tonks would misunderstand his reaction. I am glad he caught on fast and went to her! So sweet at the end! The range of motions you portrayed was good, even if it was fast. I can't wait to see the next chapter!

"She what?" Molly all but shrieked. Yeah, I'm with Molly.
Remus is becoming more certain with his actions in this chapter, more certain of what he needs to do. The ending, with Remus comforting Tonks, is so different from the last time he was at her flat.

Amazing chapter! I love how you're picturing his feelings, poor Remus, feeling he has failed, and it is even worse for him that she hadn't trusted him. And then, he becomes absolutely sweet, I've melted a thousand times on my chair! i was shaking while reading "I do", I am addicted to your story! Beautiful ending! You are an amazing writer for them two! please continue!

Oh I love this one very much! It's so adorable at the end and comforting Remus is absolutely the best thing ever! When he tells Tonks "I do" and that "nothin can change that, especially not this" it's just perfect. Especially the second one because I think that's exactly what she needed to hear. And the end...until you ask me not to...awww! I love the fluffier stuff and I can't wait for another chapter of it. But that's the last one? Nooo! I'm going to miss this so much! But I still can't wait for more...superb job! :)

I don't think Remus is an angry person by nature, either, but everyone has something of a temper, and in DH Harry thinks of Remus that he looked, "quite deranged", so in my not-so humble opinion, it seems that Remus's control can be broken.
Now, another thing, here, is that Harry has never seen Remus angry before, and you know that people get irritated or annoyed or upset on a fairly regular basis, but chances are that Remus hid this from Harry, because Harry was just a kid.
That said, I'll bet he gets annoyed or angry or upset just like anyone else; he's just better at hiding it than most people. And I think it's safe to bet that for Remus, he probably has to hit some sort of breaking point before he can't hide frustration or anger or fear.
In short, a good chapter. It was good to see things from Remus's POV. And in the end even Remus didn't have ALL the right things to say, which is perfect; just because someone loves us doesn't mean they always know what to say to make us feel better. But him just being there, well, I'll bet that helped a ton.
Looking forward to the last update. :)
Cheers,
Manna

Okay then, Remus, you're forgiven.
I think you've got them both down perfectly. Remus isn't normally angry, but how could not be when he finds out what happened to the woman he loves. Tonks isn't normally vulnerable but how could she not be in front of the man she loves after what she's been through, even if it is hard for her.
I'm glad comforting Remus is here and here to stay, Tonks needs him and it's so much more enjoyable to read.
I have mixed feelings about the next update on one hand I'm eager for more, but on the other hand I don't want this story to end!
