Hello! I am here for a birthday review! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

 

So this is great. I love love love Tonks! In such few words you've written this lovely slice of life piece. I really enjoyed getting an insight into what it's like being a junior Auror, especially on her first assignment as a fully qualified one! You captured the first-day-on-the-job jitters perfectly, and also how, unfortunately, things can go oh so wrong no matter how hard you try.

 

And that love story tho. I must admit that I am not a huge fan of such big age gaps between a couple. I am trying to push my boundaries and challenge myself to read out of my comfort zone, and this was actually delightful. It's not a ship I've ever really considered, but here, you've crafted the story so well that I can see the dynamic working. Excellent job!

 

Thanks so much for this little gem of a story, and happy birthday once again *hugs*

Huh. What an interesting pairing. What I really liked about this story is that it didn't give anything away. Yeah, I knew the observation wasn't going to go well because she was nervous and mentioned a new partner and that was it. But i seriously thought someone was going to come in and attack her then she would be able to redeem herself. In a way I think she did. I like that she questioned her profession and what she should be doing and then in an instant her instincts kicked in. She's not graceful but she knows what to do and how to go about it. Hell, I would never notice if my shoes were in the wrong place or not. Half the time I can't find them because I throw them wherever. Then that ending. I was surprised to say the least. I feel like I can see it but it's faint. Brief. 

Author's Response:

hi :)

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

I initially wrote this story as a gift to Rose, who, for whatever reason, likes this pairing. It was kind of hard to get into it, but once I got started, I enjoyed writing it a lot. I love tonks and she's always been one of the coolet characters to play with. I think she's a strong character with lots of attributes that are very defined, but she still leaves a lot of room to find a different storyline.

I can never find my shoes either.

I know, the scenario is not very likely, but I can see her with him sometimes.

Thanks for stopping by
