[Kaleidoscope drabble] Unnamed fic, under construction

As much fun as I've been having with Chalion and Vorkosigan fics and all lately, I really do think of my Remus/Tonks series Kaleidoscope as my main fic project -- and yet it's been ages since I've managed an update. This summer I've been poking away at a major expansion and rewrite of "Blindsided," which was one of the earliest R/T drabbles I'd written, but it's going horribly...I keep rewriting and rewriting and I just can't make it work. (I need to have Remus grieving for Sirius and worrying about Greyback and falling for Tonks all at the same time, and he will not cooperate, darn him.)

So, partly inspired by katyscarlett76's posting her bittersweet Tonks drabble today, I thought I would shake off the jinx by making myself sit down and get started on an entirely different piece of the series, and post the first scene as a drabble. This installment doesn't even have a title yet, but the idea has been in my head for a couple of years, and I've known all along it would be from Arthur's POV -- Molly's had her say, and now it's his turn!
