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?

I have a hard time with goodbye sex where Remus is concerned. It's hardly ever pulled off without him looking like a complete and utter jerk instead of a noble prat. It's not a prudish thing on my part, but something about him just screams that with Tonks, he wouldn't go there if he couldn't commit fully to her.

That said, I think it CAN work, especially if he's not thinking it has to be a total break; I've just yet to see Remus be really normal about it in a fic, if that makes sense.

But in regard to Remus breaking up with her in appearance as a protective measure -- the main concern is timeline. Two weeks pass between pink Tonks at King's Cross and brown Tonks at the Burrow. Would she have lost the morphing ability completely if Remus hadn't completely broken it off? Otherwise, that's not an unbelievable idea by any means.

I hope this doesn't sound like I'm trashing your ideas. Completely the opposite. It's just an area I've found quite tricky to write, and this is as much me talking through my own fic dilemmas as much as about yours. And I'm excited at the prospect of a new fic from you!

It sounds very believable, and I can't wait for you to write it!!!

Ohhh, this fic sounds delightfully emotional. I can't wait to read it! Sorry, the decent suggestion-portion of my brain has shut down.
