[Kaleidoscope update] Catching Hold

[shimotsuki]

For once in my life, I actually finished a story for an event at metamorfic_moon before the clock was counting down the final seconds to the deadline. Imagine!

This was a Kaleidoscope installment I've been wanting to do for a while (not that I forced my Meta prompt to fit it, or anything ;P ) -- it's about Tonks's first visit to 12GP after Sirius's death and how she and Remus are dealing with mourning, and it's kind of a sequel to Friends. It's set right before Blindsided/Unattainable, so Remus hasn't had his epiphany about Tonks yet, but he's getting awfully close. And this was one of the scenes I absolutely had to plot out so that someday I'll finally be able to finish my version of the post-hospital-wing scene.

• Catching Hold (2536 words | PG/mild profanity, reference to character death)
  Remus finds an unexpected way to help Tonks deal with Sirius’s death. She can’t help wondering whether it means that Sirius was right about Remus’s feelings for her.
  
  ( Tonks very narrowly avoided tripping over the troll’s foot umbrella stand... )
