  • A Series of Firsts

    The first time Andromeda Black met Ted Tonks, it was because some sandy-haired Hufflepuff boy sat himself down next to her at a Quidditch match. The romance of Andromeda and Ted, in a series of vignettes.

  • Feels Like Home

    Sitting together on her dilapidated sofa over a cup of cocoa seemed like such a cosy, homey sort of thing to do. And Harry, to Hermione, always felt like home.

  • Lupercalia

    For some reason, Remus doesn't seem keen on the idea of running around the city naked, sacrificing a goat, or lashing anyone with a whip made of animal hide. Luckily, there are other ways to celebrate Lupercalia.

  • What I Have Taken Long Before

    Twelve years is a great deal left unsaid. "Lie low at Lupin's" is only the very beginning. (Part of a series with "Skellig, Azkaban, Albion, Éire" and "Cast Your Soul to the Sea," but also stands alone.)

  • Easter Sun

    Even when everything's falling apart, sometimes a chat with an old friend can bring a little sunlight back into the world. (Takes place at the very beginning of Easter break of Deathly Hallows.)

  • Hold Tight and Almost Believe

    Hope Lupin adjusts to her family's new reality.

  • Cast Your Soul to the Sea

    On a boat leaving England, Remus is not as alone as he thinks. (A sequel, of sorts, to "Skellig, Azkaban, Albion, Éire.")

  • Skellig, Azkaban, Albion, Éire

    Sirius sometimes thought the ceaseless crash of the waves was the only thing that kept him sane. / Remus found himself drawn to the far-flung edges, the places where the world seemed to drop into the sea.

  • That Great Unseen Good Man

    Teddy has questions. Harry has some of the answers.

  • A Conversation That's Not About Veela

    Harry and Professor Lupin talk about women, and other things. During Christmas of HBP. (A gen story, but with very strong hints of Remus/Tonks and Harry/Ginny.)

  • Oh the rising of the sun and the running of the deer

    The Marauders act out a cheery favourite carol. (Christmas 1980.) A drabble (yes, it's precisely 100 words if you don't count the interspersed lyrics!) inspired by author by night's prompt of "Christmas Carol: The Holly and the Ivy" at the rt morelove Stocking Filler Exchange, but then the story insisted on being about the Marauders instead.

  • Ron Weasley Proves Himself Wrong

    Written for the Stocking Filler Exchange at rt morelove, for gilpin25's prompt: "Listen, no bloke in his right mind's going to fancy Tonks when Fleur's around." (Ron, HBP, Ch.5) Squint at the timeline with me here: Imagine there's a time at the start of HPB after Fleur arrives at the Burrow, but before Tonks gets too depressed to change her appearance… Also, hey, my first drabble!

  • Lionheart

    Tonks finds an old favourite book; Remus hasn't heard of it.

  • Forget this Tapestry

    "It's really very strange being back here, after all this time," Andromeda says. She's peering closely, quite clinically, at the spot on the tapestry where her own name was blasted off nearly a quarter of a century ago. (Part 4 of La Ronde Noire)

  • Two Brothers Down a Dark Alley Sometime in 1979

    Regulus' hand tightened on his wand. "I mean no harm," he repeated. "I highly doubt that," Sirius said, but his hand relaxed fractionally. "What do you want, then, Reg?" (Part 3 of La Ronde Noire)

  • Tea, No Sympathy

    Regulus keeps coming to tea at Narcissa's home to rant and rave about how Sirius is a traitor to the family. But they've all known that for ages, haven't they? (Part 2 of La Ronde Noire)

  • The Landlord's Other Daughter (remix of The Chimes at Midnight)

    There were two kinds of goodbyes, Narcissa thought. This was not the one she had wanted to say tonight. (Part 1 of La Ronde Noire)

  • Yahrzeit

    On 31 October, 1997, Remus and Tonks light candles.

  • Never Too Late to Say Thank You

    Andromeda Tonks expected nothing more than a quiet afternoon, while Harry took Teddy out for the day. Instead, a young man named Dean Thomas turned up at her door.

  • Saying Yes

    At 17, Andromeda Black thought being in love was everything. At 57, Andromeda Tonks knew better. Yet the first time Kingsley Shacklebolt asked her out, she surprised herself by saying yes.
