Title: Match Against the Darkness

Rating & Warnings: PG, references to a canon characters’ deaths, grief, and drinking.

Word Count: 2240 words

Prompt(s): #5, a moment of weakness

Summary: Tonks and Remus die in 2015, not 1998, but it's still because of prejudice and Dark magic.

Notes: This story is a sad AU of my death-denial AU (I don't know what my mind is doing either). So since the Lupin family has grown larger in this universe, I thought I'd give you, their names and birthdays for prosperity. They are as follows:

Ted Remus Lupin ('Teddy'), born April 1, 1998. (Age 17).

Hope Celeste Lupin, born November 3, 2000. (Age 15)

Lyall Alastor Lupin born November 3, 2000. (Age 15)

Orion Sirius Lupin ('Orry') born September 15, 2004. (Age 11)

Prompt(s):

#2 Almost

#24 ‘“This is....not the moment to discuss it,” said Lupin, avoiding everybody’s eyes as he looked around distractedly. “Dumbledore is dead....”

‘“Dumbledore would have been happier than anybody to think that there was a little more love in the world,” said Professor McGonagall curtly...’

―J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Summary: End of HBP. Tonks realizes that sometimes you need to give up even when you know you're right. When that happens, it's up to Remus to pick up the pieces.

Title: End of Illusion
Rating & Warnings: PG; none
Word Count: 2454
Prompt(s): #34, ‘You sort of start thinking anything's possible if you've got enough nerve.’ ―J.K. Rowling, and #18, Bathrobe
Summary: Tonks is in love, and she feels like an unstoppable force. But she has no idea what she's up against. Set during OotP.
Notes: This is not the fic it was once intended to be. Perhaps I'll write that one another time and make different use of the bathrobe! Meanwhile, it's been great to see so many posts here from friends old and new. Thanks to everyone who has taken part. ♥

Fic: Survival Value

Author: shimotsuki
Title: Survival Value
Rating & Warnings: PG / no warnings
Word Count: 1590 words
Prompt(s): #17, ‘Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.’ —C.S Lewis; and #44, Masquerade
Summary: Remus spends Hallowe’en with Greyback’s pack, and makes a few discoveries in spite of himself.
Notes: This is the kernel of one of the two remaining chapters I still need to flesh out for the HBP part of Kaleidoscope. (It's getting there!) Matthias Malkin is an OC who appears elsewhere in that series, but this story stands alone.

Also: What a wonderful event this has been! It's great to see so many participants, old and new. Lots more Remus/Tonks love in the world now. :)
