That was sad, yet hopeful. 

And that's another pairing I like very much. Their history is so sad, so filled with lost chances. And Charlie won't never get another one. And he must live with it.

so sad and sweet and poignant.  you have got me hooked on this pairing in two short little stories.  too bad there is no happy ending.  any chance you will write something totally AU with them?  i'll read it if you ever do.  here's some shiny stars to tempt you.  : )

A lovely yet nonetheless bittersweet and heartwrenching story about the path not taken, lost opportunities, and the regrets of hindsight.  Admittedly, we don't see much of Charlie in the books so it's not easy to get a good feel of his character -- but I think you've pegged Tonks very well. It was obvious from her first appearance in OotP that she must have been a tomboy when she was a little girl, yet it becomes just as obvious as time goes on that her heart is rather more sensitive than one might guess from her somewhat happy-go-lucky gamine persona. 

There are too few stories about the other Weasley children (apart from Ginny and Ron) - and you helped to correct this problem. Thank you for a bitter-sweet story that made my day (at least part of it).

This is so sweet and sad.  poor Charlie, let us hope he doesn't turn into another Snape, eh? his love married to someone else and then killed in the war.  If Snape had had a family like the Weasleys that watched out for him.....But I don't think Charlie will become so anti-social as Snape did.  Thanks for a bittersweet tale.

That was sad and sweet

Well-written with pathos. Any more?
