There are many different universes, and in this one a raindrop falls a second before it was supposed to. The outcome is quite surprising, as no one expected for the change in this particular universe to have such a surprising outcome. Very AU.

AU. Eighteen-year-old James Potter is faced with an immensely challenging task. Harder than jinxing Snivellus with his eyes closed? Yep. Harder than keeping a werewolf under control? Pretty much. Harder than winning Lily Evans? We-ell, maybe. What he has to do? Raise his new daughter, Aurelia, with the help of his new wife Lily and the rest of the Marauders. This'll be pretty hard.

Remus Lupin had no intention of falling in love with anyone, let alone a witch with a full life that he could easily destroy. Nymphadora Tonks was still reeling from a heartbreak that she'd never seen coming, and hid her sorrows behind a mask of jokes and happiness. But when she rips her coat sleeve and falls into his arms, something happens that neither of them originally wanted.

Her eyes never see him, Tonks's eyes, the ones that sparkle with mischief and magic. If he was another man he would long for her, but he loves her far too much for that. For oh yes, he loves her, loves her with a passion that consumes him at times, but he knows she will not feel the same. Werewolf, werewolf, werewolf. Always overlooked, always on the sidelines, always alone.
