Thanks for the kind words and the encouragement -- you've just made my lunch break. :)

I'm glad you think the angle I'm taking with Andromeda, that she's not all that different from Remus in some ways, seems to work. I think she's a really interesting character. (And I much prefer an AU future for her as well, poor thing! But I digress.) I'll be very much looking forward to seeing what ideas you have for Andromeda.

I'm rather hoping Remus letting his guard down for once, and Andromeda showing her vulnerability, also for once, might lead to some kind of understanding...

*whistles innocently* ;)

And the title relates to something I've been planning to do with this fic since well before DH, and now what we know of Ted's fate makes it a little more poignant, so I'm looking forward to writing that scene, heh.
