BE THE LIGHT IN MY LANTERN

Summary: In which Remus and Tonks fight battles, arrest criminals, befriend werewolves, overcome inner demons and, despite it all, find themselves a happy ending. A love story, and a story of the Order years. (At long last, my Remus/Tonks epic, which has been years in the making!)

BE THE LIGHT IN MY LANTERN

Summary: In which Remus and Tonks fight battles, arrest criminals, befriend werewolves, overcome inner demons and, despite it all, find themselves a happy ending. A love story, and a story of the Order years. (At long last, my Remus/Tonks epic, which has been years in the making!)

Notes: Yes, I've changed the title of the story – to "Be the Light in My Lantern" from the old working title "The Beginning of Something." The new title is from a song by Josh Ritter, "Lantern." Josh is one of my all-time favorite songwriters, and this is a song of his that I also sometimes play/perform; it's an anthem of hope and love even in dark times.

( Already There )

Hello there, LJ friends! Yesterday was my birthday, and I found – to my amusement, though perhaps not my surprise – that what I wanted most was the chance to write myself a one-shot. (I've been making myself hold back on the one-shots for a while, so I can focus on my long fic.) Here it is! This is unbetaed and was written fairly quickly, so I'd be honestly interested to hear any feedback about what does and doesn't work.

EASTER SUN

Summary: Even when everything's falling apart, sometimes a chat with an old friend can bring a little sunlight back into the world.

Characters: Ginny, Tonks

Words: ~2,800

Notes: I’ve wanted for a while to write a scene between Ginny and Tonks, but it took a bit to find a spot in the timeline that worked – I wanted it to be during Deathly Hallows, at a time when they could plausibly run into each other, but before the end-game events of the book started going down. As soon as I had the timeline pinned down, the rest of the conversation fell into place! This takes place at the very beginning of Easter break of DH.

RON WEASLEY PROVES HIMSELF WRONG

Summary: 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)

Characters: Tonks, Ron and Fleur

Words: 100 exactly

Notes: Dear reader, you’re going to have to squint at the timeline a bit with me here. Let’s imagine there’s a time at the start of HPB that’s after Fleur arrives at the Burrow and Ron says the bit above, but before Tonks gets too depressed to change her appearance, even though we know that’s not exactly the order in which things happened…

Also, hey, I wrote my first drabble!
