Title: A kiss is not just a kiss:

Summary: Just a little snap shot of a post-HPB, mid war Remus and Tonks.

Kissing is sometimes enough. I love that you can understand that and know instinctively when all I need is the affirmation of your love with the gift of a kiss. Whilst other men wouldn’t be content to simply pass an evening and a night away with the exchange of lazy lips and gliding tongues, you seem to know that sometimes it is all that we need. We both know that sexual passion isn’t something that’s lacking between us but the intimacy of simple exploration is one of the most beautiful things about our relationship. The steady, slow and relaxed pace of undemanding demonstrative affection fosters a level of trust and understanding that would seem unfathomable to me if I were not a part of it.

 

On these nights, when your gentle, undemanding lips seek mine and I am at home within your embrace, I can forget what we’re fighting and lose myself to the pleasure that you bring me. Gentle probing is my undoing night after night, whether it leads to love making or not, it’s never anything less than a soulful experience.

 

The deep and profound sense of love that I feel for you has become a part of me, even more surely than my own body which is forever changing by the light of day but reverts each night only for you.

 

Your eyes demand my attention, it’s not a conscious demand but a part of our deeper connection. We connect and communicate through visual exploration as much as through words, kisses or physical joining. It grounds me, amazes me that I should be so fortunate as to have found one of life’s true wonders.

 

I know in my heart that we need to fight this war that we seem to be so central to, and that we have all the more strength for facing it head on - together. But in these quiet nights, when nothing exists but the pleasure we bring to one another, I can’t help but harbour the thought of how lovely it would be if we could simply run away and spend the rest of our lives just kissing.

Aww, that's beautiful. It's short but a great insight into Tonks's mind and why she loves Remus. The knowledge that they can just spend all their time kissing is wonderful and relaxing to her, and that's very understandable.

*claps*

Thank you. I really just felt like writing something tonight and this was the result:) A 20 minute fic.

I've been wanting to explore for a while the idea that couples can find security with each other physically without the need for everything; just accept the 'smaller' gifts but see them as larger in the long run.

Very nice, sweets

You don't have to spend the whole time in bed with someone you love. The best times are when you both are just home together, watching tv or something.

Well done :)

Thank you:) and I agree, sometimes it's just about simple and beautiful intimacy, and that doesn't require sex.

oh, that's beautiful :)

and yay for fanfic as therapy!

Thank you:)

I can't tell you how much lighter I feel, not only for the therapy of having written it but for the appreciative comments, so big hugs for you. Fandom really does salve my sanity.

"...how lovely it would be if we could just run away and spend the rest of our lives just kissing."

I wish that for them too. :)

*sigh* I wish I could run away, kissing for the rest of my life! lol.

Your prose is so lovely. This piece carried me away with the dreamy feeling of kissing...

I can’t help but harbour the thought of how lovely it would be if we could just run away and spend the rest of our lives just kissing.

This made me smile because it's as if you read my mind about a line from the revised Lovesbane (which just won't stop growing).


R/T fic's been in short supply the past few days, and this was a nice little morsel before the challenge. Thanks!

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. Just something that has been brewing the last few days that decided to bubble to the surface tonight.

I'm so looking forward to the new Lovesbane. I love that it keeps growing, even if it does take you longer to write it:)

There has been a lack of new R/T lately, a growing trend I fear. I spent my spare time over the weekend trawling the net for old stuff.

Well, I'm sorry frustrations were sort of the inspiration, but I am glad you opted for making something positive of them and channelling those energies into pretty ficcies. :)

I spent my spare time over the weekend trawling the net for old stuff.

I reread a bunch of LB. The mark of good fic, I think, is when the swoony parts never stop making the tummy do Wronski feints. And LB's fics seem to get better the more I read them.

Thanks. :) But goodness, I hope it works right. I HOPE it'll be ready by Wednesday. The whole thing's written, but just not right yet -- the breakup itself is just...tricky. But the last chapter's just Fare Thee Well with a bit of tweaking. ANyway, I'm sure that's more than you wanted to know, lol, I'm rambly...

[godricgal.livejournal.com]

Rather than frustrations being the inspiration, it was the need to relax that was the impetus for me sitting down to write it.

I always read LB when I'm lacking in other fic. I'm quite sure I'm responsible for a good proportion of her hit stats over on FFN! I don't think I could ever tire of them.

I imagine it's tearing your heart out to break them up after 'We Interrupt This Broadcast'. I'm not sure I could be so cruel;) I'd be hankering after the AU route I'm sure
!

It's more making Remus' reasoning make sense without letting him be fully honest with Tonks that's the problem. Hard to strike the balance of noble and chicken. ;)
