“Remus, so often melancholy and lonely, was first amused, then impressed, then seriously smitten by the young witch.“ - Pottermore
Following a lovely message I wholeheartedly agree with, Jo’s phrasing goes right to my chest - and how wonderful it was to spend hours and hours just drawing this, having time for art again at last!
recasting the movies with age appropriate actors — couples edition lupin & tonks
tonks is 22 to lupin’s 35 when they first meet as members of the order
He had never fallen in love before. If it had happened in peacetime, Remus would have simply taken himself off to a new place and a new job, so that he did not have to endure the pain of watching Tonks fall in love with a handsome, young wizard in the Auror office, which was what he expected to happen.
At one point Tonks’ period syncs up with the full moon, so she and Remus just lie on opposite couches and kind of groan at each other.
They live on a diet of ice cream, chocolate, and a couple of crackers they found in the back of the pantry.

why everyone chooses to read this as ‘dead’ instead of ‘taking an inappropriate nap’ is beyond me (via doratonkslupin)
that was totally an inappropriate nap (via insecureghosts)
remember when Remus burst into Shell Cottage totally psyched because Tonks had the baby and the baby was AWESOME and his hair was already changing colors and then Remus made up with Harry and asked Harry to be Teddy’s godfather and then both Remus and his wife got killed a couple days after that?
“One of the most horrifying things about war is how it leaves children fatherless and motherless.” The most powerful way she could dramatize that idea, she says, was to kill a set of parents that were dear to readers. “I had no intention of killing [Lupin],” says Rowling. “But then it dawned on me he had to die.”
Tonks made a brave, public declaration of her feelings for Remus, who was forced to admit the strength of his love for her. In spite of continuing misgivings that he was acting selfishly, Remus married Tonks quietly in the north of Scotland, with witnesses taken from the local wizarding tavern. He continued to fear that the stigma attached to him would infect his wife and wished for no fanfare around their union; he swung constantly between elation that he was married to the woman of his dreams and terror of what he might have brought upon them both.
imagine Tonks and Lupin in bed, and he’s the little spoon and he turns round to kiss her only to find she’s metamorphasized her face into Snape’s and he screams and she laughs so hard she falls out the bed
