Prompt(s):
1. I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like
He was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know, don't seem to care
What your heart is for
No I don't know him anymore
Torn—Natalie Imbruglia

Summary: Panic on Remus's part forces the newly married couple to contemplate their future.

Notes: A few.

1. This fic goes partially in-hand with my fic from last year, which was Ted's perspective of Remus and Tonks's relationship. http://rt-morelove.livejournal.com/19194.html


2. Although this fic does follow Pottermore canon for the most part, I have maintained my own version of how Remus and Tonks met, which is that they were flatmates during GoF. It always seemed to me that they knew each other pretty well by the time we met them in OoTP.


3. This was a hard story for me to write. It tackles literally the only thing I strongly disliked about Deathly Hallows. But I enjoyed exploring Remus's rationale and Tonks's reaction, and I hope I've done them both justice.
