When Remus died, Tonks never thought she'd recover. They were all set to get married, but before they could have their shotgun wedding during the height of the war, Fenrir came after her fiancée, prematurely ending his life.
Despite the hardships she was sure she'd face marrying a werewolf that was so much older than her, Tonks loved Remus and was ready to make the sacrifices necessary to be with him.
Her dreams for forever went up in smoke when he breathed his last breath, though.
Miraculously, Tonks survived the war, but she always felt unsettled. She no longer had Remus' calming presence to ground her and suffered for it.
Somehow, she managed to fall in love again and everyone was surprised when Percy and Tonks got married in a quiet ceremony.
They didn't seem compatible on paper, but Percy was able to ground her in a way only Remus had in the past and Tonks was able to help Percy have some fun and not take everything so seriously.
They'd spend quiet evenings on the couch, just holding one another. Percy's lips would touch Tonks' neck, and he'd delight in her little shivers of pleasure. Tonks' hands would hold Percy's arm, which was secure around her waist, and she would vow to never let him go.
All in all, she was completely content in the life she fell into. She'd never forget about Remus, but she knew Percy was the man she was meant to be with now that Remus was gone.
