Ever stopped to think about the characters, forced to do all those horrendous fanfics?
Consider the Characters
Chapter 4 - Too Far
Remus ran his hands down Tonks' sides to rest on her waist.
"Hey," she giggled "that tickles."
He smiled, the turned his head at the sound of approaching wings.
An owl flew in the doorway and held its leg out to Tonks. Her face fell as she took the scroll, and the owl zoomed back out of the room.
Remus frowned concernedly and told Tonks softly
"You need to stop worrying about the scripts."
"I don't want to open it."
He leant his forehead against hers.
"Whatever they write, whatever we have to do, at the end of it we'll still be together. We're canon Tonks, no one can change that." Remus kissed her nose then stepped back. "Open it."
Shakily, Tonks slit open the scroll, unrolled it and read. She paled and a low
"No…" escaped her.
"What is it?" She held the scroll out to him and he took it. His eyes moved down the page, his face darkening angrily, and when he reached the end Remus scrunched the parchment into a ball.
"They can't do this." He pulled his wand out and made a slashing movement with it in the air. "Author!"
A teenage girl appeared in the room. Glancing around, she asked innocently
"What's the matter?"
"This!" Remus strode up to her brandished Tonks' script. "You can't make her do this! I've had to sit back and watch you pair Tonks with all manner of people; Charlie, Sirius, Harry, Bill, Ginny, Snape, Mundungus, Hestia, Mad-eye, Minerva, various Mary-Sues and OCs…But this is too far." He shook the script in the author's face. "You can't submit this fic. It's sick!"
"But…" the author began.
"No!" Tonks, who was watching this encounter nervously, couldn't help thinking how handsome Remus looked when angry.
"I don't care what you think," he yelled at the author "No matter how good a story it would make, I will not let you submit this story!"
The author scowled mutinously at the lycanthrope, then disappeared in a cloud of pure fanon.
"Thank you!" Tonks cried, running over and wrapping her arms around Remus. "I just couldn't bear to do that fic!" she sobbed into his shoulder.
"I know, I know," Remus replied soothingly, stroking her hair,
"I've been paired with loads of different people before," Tonks continued tearfully, "but that's the worst. How could they? Aberforth's goat, how could they?"
OK, so much for not writing anymore. I have much more important stuff to do than this (coursework, bleurk), but I just enjoy it so much :-)
Remus/Tonks is one of my favourite ships, in case you couldn't tell...
I don't like this chapter as much as the first 3, so review and tell me what you think. Suggest ideas, and they might just get used...
