I've been waiting for this day!!! ::cackles::

Well, I know my friend thunderemerald is a big ol' Tonks/Lupin 'shipper and writes T/L fic. :)

[woodface]

Ooooooo! Thanks for the tip *g*

[woodface]

*snorts* It seems like everyone is watching me while I read this book.

OMG, so good! Although, I finished it now and I was sobbing. *clings*

As you already pointed out, this was indeed the other point :D

[woodface]

BUT OMG!!!!!! It's EXACTLY like in fanfic. And dude, can I just be proud I picked it up in OotP already?

[makesometime.livejournal.com]

I think you can be very proud! Most of the book relationships did seem very fanfic-ish but I was very happy with them so I'm not going to complain. A lot of fanfic is better than some of the books anyway.

*beams* I loved the ship in this book.

It's probably bad that I want to stick my tongue out at Siris/Remus slashers. *blushes*

Yay! I think it's so cool that you had it figured out way back in OotP :) I think it's awesome that he's her new patronus. I've been dying for you to get to this part. Every time you've said something like "it's too much to wish for" I've had to practically sit on my hands not to tell you not to worry :)

*giggles* I just never expected it. Remus/Sirius is so dominant in HP fandom while Tonks/Lupin had little support. I thought I was just reading what I wanted to read. I'm so excited that it's more than that!

I actually wonder if her patronus isn't a dog like Sirius. I know Harry thinks it's a wolf now, but still...

YAY! Knew you'd like that. I love that this 'ship is now canon. And Harry/Ginny, of course. :)

Out of curiosity, what parts of OotP made you think, "Hey, there's a Lupin/Tonks 'ship in there." I was thinking of rereading for clues, but I'm feeling a bit lazy at the moment. ;D

Hee...was dying not to spoil you. :D

[woodface]

*snickers* Thanks. I hope you flaunted it around for your sister.

Well, if it were a Sirius-Dog, that would be sweet, too, because they were long-lost cousins. And Snape would call either one of them weak, but now that I think about it, he may be more inclined to refer to Sirius as weak. It would kind of blow the minds of the Sirius/Lupin shippers, but it's kind of a sweet idea to think of Sirius being the guardian shipper of his last remaining friend and the only relative on his side.

Re: "a little more love in the world"

I just find it hard to believe that Tonks would be depressed only over Lupin's refusal to get involved with her. Sure, she'd be bummed and annoyed, but she's slipping so much that I'm pretty sure Sirius' death must play a part in it. Snape spoke of an event that must have really upset her in order to change her patronus, while I'm sure the thing with Lupin was distressing, I think Sirius death was more likely to have caused this.

Apparently Sirius/Lupin shippers already had their minds blown. The aftermath was not very pretty and Tonks is now going through the same sort of abuse Sam was going through in SG.

Re: "a little more love in the world"

[alliesings.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. I read someone else speculating that the theme of the book is "love makes you do strange things," but even with that, I think Tonks' loss of Sirius was a huge part of that. I think she does feel that survivor's guilt, and all everyone wants to do is pat her on the back and say "it isn't your fault, get over it." Poor Tonks.

[angst-angel.livejournal.com]

Well, she's STILL not to that part (she took three days to get through "The Secret Riddle," and right now she's just finished the cave part) so I'm still waiting for that. Bwah. :D
