counting the stars

AU: Tonks survives the Battle, but Remus does not. Once upon a lifetime, her eyes could have told a million stories of love. Now they only counted stars. To her, every star was one day she had without Remus, a life not lived, a love not loved, and a tear that stained her pillow. But long after she stops painting his dead body and having the same nightmare, she learns to move on.
