Love In The Asylum

Title: Illusions of Love
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Remus/Sirius, Remus/Tonks
Rating: M (ish)
Spoilers: brief spoiler for Deathly Hallows, if you're one of the three people who hasn't read it yet
Disclaimer: Trust me - if I owned HP, the 6th book would never have happened, and the 7th book might have made sense.
Warnings: non-graphic sex, adult language, passive-aggressive!Remus
Summary: In retrospect, it had been a bad idea. Tonks should have known better than to think there'd ever be a time Sirius didn't stand between them.
Notes: Okay, so it's not the most original idea in the world - I've heard the theory batted around all the place pretty much ever since Book 6 came out. But not that many people seem to write it, so I decided to give it a swing. And really, this is the only way I can rationalize Remus/Tonks, especially since Remus never seems to be very happy with her. Hannah wasn't sure about passive-aggressive!Remus, but I think it fits what we saw of him in the last two books - the way he just tries to ignore Tonks' crush, the way he tries to run off with the Golden Trio when Tonks is pregnant, etc. This is not a guy who likes to face his demons.
