Hee, I'm cooking my first proper fic since the  rt_challenge April ficathon. It's an angtsy break-up, going to the wolves kind of fic. So, I'm considering including a wee bit o smuttiness. An emotionally charged 'last time' scenario. Since my flist contains some avid RT writers/readers I thought I would pose the question: does that seem realistic to you? 

I've always had this half-formed idea that the break-up wasn't absolute in the beginning (there is of course,  no doubt in my mind that they did have a relationship in OotP). That it was, in the first instance, a protective measure for the duration of Remus's stint with the wolves and that perhaps his refusal to reinstate the relationship was the result of some serious self-loathing that was the product of his time with the wolves. Anyway that is the basis of this particular ficcy, thoughts any one?

If I were on my feet I'd be falling over on them by now I'm so tired, but I'll attempt to coherently reply to your points:) (I added you to my AIM buddies list, you are the only one, I only downloaded it as an experiment for work)

Oh yes, the break up issue holds the basis for endless amounts of R/T true love sweetness. I think we can assume that they broke up because he loves her too much; she counters that with her love and the persistence that that breeds. We can do so much with them and it's so much fun.

Yes, basically it is founded on the premise that if he looks into her eyes, he will be drawn in because he loves her so and they can never lose the intimate connection they have to one another.

The werewolf mission must shake Remus to his very soul, it is against everything that we have seen him to stand for and the xmas scene at The Burrow shows us the only instance of bitterness towards his condition so far.

I'm talking about xmas in so far as she couldn't face her parents then, I have some fairly well formed ideas about her relationship with Ted and Andromeda that is perhaps the subject of another discussion. I can't imagine that she'd go and stay with them in the wake of the breakup/separation with Remus. Yes I think she probably did live in Hogsmead, although with the gift of Apparition, geography hardly matters;) *insert envy here*

The GoF line has bothered me too. The reason I don't think he rented is because I don't think he'd have the funds to perpetuate a tenancy agreement! I have to think that he has an ancestral home, one that he could not bear to part with for money. I don’t mean to imply that the home is palatial or grand or anything, just that he’d keep it for loyalties sake.

Mysteries indeed, I once again assert my wish/plea for a complementary novel about the adult characters in the books.
