Tonks sleeps with 3-4 blankets wrapped around her ever since the 10-Days, because it’s what she did as a child to ward off the boogie man and it provides a small feeling of safety.

Remus hears through a drunk Sirius, who hears from Mad-Eye who told Sirius to lay off the boyfriend questions.

Remus felt guilty for knowing, Sirius felt guilty for telling Remus and Mad-Eye felt guilty about the entire situation playing out like it did.

After the 10-Days, there was a few weeks of Mad-Eye being cautious and easier with training, and nicer in general. Then he taught her even more non-magic fighting techniques. ‘Just in case’.

Remus is cautious when he starts feeling feelings for her. Because they’re both broken, and he doesn’t want to ruin her.

Tonks is cautious around Remus. Because he’s broken, and he probably wouldn’t want someone else who was broken. 

He hurts her anyway, when he pushes her away. And he feels horrible.

The first time they spend a night together, they just lay there, talking. It’s the first night(out of 10) Tonks is without a single blanket. 

The second is their wedding night. The third is Mad-Eye’s death, when she found Remus’ arms more comforting than her shell. The fourth is the day he returns. The fifth is Christmas Eve. The sixth is the day her father dies. The seventh is mid-April(the night was interrupted by her going into labor and neither slept past that point). The eighth was the night after Teddy’s birth. The ninth was the day after Teddy’s first full moon(only a few days after his birth), when Remus was most comfortable with the two of them with him. The tenth was the night she got no sleep at all, the night she died.

They find out, together, that they’re not broken after all- just a little cracked at the edges.  

When she gets pregnant, she’s scared to tell him, because he had a rough full moon just a day before. 

He raises his voice by accident when he begins voicing his fears. She flinches and he immediately freezes up at the fact his wife can be scared of him.

Ted was ready to threaten any man she brought home. But the second he met Remus, he relaxed. This was a good man, a man Ted could trust with his little girl. 

Ted takes this back when Remus leaves.

Ted takes back his take-back when Remus returns.(but still threatens Remus).
