Thanks for your input, I was sure I could rely on you:)
If I include the sex it will we totally in the sense that this is the last time for an indefinite period that they will be together. With Tonks vowing that she will wait for him and a promise on Remus's part that he will return to her when the whole sorry mess is over. I couldn't write it any other way.
The basis fic has been a long time in the brewing, it's just that tonight I sat down to start it and I suddenly wondered if I could pull off the whole story in a realistic manner. If I can't, then I'll pull the scene.
Timeline, yes, a problem indeed. And in between what you've mentioned we also know that Remus visited Tonks at The Burrow at some point during those couple of weeks, what did they talk about? Did Tonks attempt to change his mind or did they just have a quite chat? The fact that she doesn't want to see him after that 2 week period only serves to heighten the dilemma. I wonder if I could explain it by having her miss him so acutely that she decided it would be better for the both of them if they saw as little of each other as possible, in order to reduce the temptation or longing, a much, much lesser version of the 'out of sight, out of mind' philosophy. I think she would have lost her morphing abilities more or less immediately, I was planning on having it the first night that she goes home to an empty flat, since I've had him staying with her since Grimmauld Place was abandoned.
Not like trashing the ideas at all, this is why I posed the question. One of the reasons I haven't updated any of my WIPs is because I have decided that they seriously lack in the quality and realism department, I have no motivation to continue writing something that I deem to be a pile of junk. This fic is going to be my baby and I want to take every care to make sure that it is perfect before I release it to the masses. I may ask for your help again if you don't mind and if you ever want to talk through any fic writing problems yourself, you will always find me a willing participant.
