... Love my favourite werewolf as well as a certain candyfloss-haired, eccentric wizard...
The Draco/Astoria/Lucius banner was a gift to me by the one and only star_girl, and the Nagini and Severus Tale one by the lovely apisa_b
The truly unique and rare gem Juniperus made the wonderful & inspirational The Twists of Fate banner, the One Riddle More, The Verboten One and 10th Anniversary one--I am so honoured! The one and only hexgirl made the wonderful Hermione & Xeno banner for me: all of you wonderful ladies, thank you!
Reviews for The Liable Choice
Such powerful imagery. I really felt for Remus, alone in the Ministry, his fate being decided for him by bureaucrats and a heartless law. I don't know what Luna was already doing there, but he wound up making the perfect choice for the next stage of his life. Thanks for sharing this!

Luna might actually be a good choice under those circumstances. I can just hear her saying "it'll be fun!"

, thank you so much for reading and reviewing! Yes, in this odd scenario, Luna's quirkiness could maybe handle it; she's such a love and special energy. Thanks again!
You did a superb job with the prompt. I think Luna and Lupin are ideally suited. Thanks for writing this.

Oh

, thank you so much for reading & reviewing! More importantly, thank you for your wonderful prompt which allowed inspiration for this pair (sorry it wasn't a 'real drabble', as it became something longer/different); so glad I did your prompt justice - thanks again for feedback!
Wonderful story with a great pairing, I loved it!

Oh, yes. Luna would handle Lupin's Lycanthropie well, just taking it her strides, wouldn't she. And she is one of those people that would be able to be a good stepmom. And I also, think that Remus would have chosen for his son rather than himself. Very nicely done.

, thank you so much for reading and leaving a review! I really appreciate your lovely, specific feedback - yes, Luna is such a special energy, if anyone could handle Remus and Teddy's situation, she could. Thanks again!
Luna is a very apt partner for Remus. :)

, thank you so much for reading and reviewing! In this odd scenario, Luna possibly could help Remus, in her own special ways - she's such a special energy. Thanks again for the feedback!
I like your gentle Luna, your sad and afraid Remus. You make it believable that they could find happines together eventually.

Oh
Response from nagandsev (Author of The Liable Choice)
, thank you so much for reading & reviewing! So glad Luna and Remus come across believable in this odd scenario; yes, it'd be nice to think they could experience some happiness with time. Thanks again for the affirmation!
Beautifully written as always. You made a broken and damaged Lupin seem a perfect match for Luna and her gentle eccentricities. A lovely picture of a quirky, but happy little family. More one-shots from you please, this was excellent.

, thank you for so much for reading and your lovely, affirmative review! It was my first attempt at a drabble (which turned into something else; I'd cut a thousand words from it and couldn't anymore; I'm so 'wordy' in my long stories, I'd hope this attempt would help me depict the essence of things moreso and develop better 'editing' skills, anyway...) Glad you enjoyed this scenario of Lupin & Luna & Teddy. Thanks again!
Mmmm... I love the way this unfolds. I don't know if you were limited in the length, but the part with Luna could easily be longer if you liked. I think it would be quite enjoyable.

, thank you so much for reading and reviewing! There was a word limit of 500 to 1000 words (my first version was around 2500), and as this is my first attempt at drabbles ever, I was confused on how much liberty one can take on a SND prompt, wanted to respect it (when does it technically become a one-shot, etc); this became something else, but I just couldn't cut/edit it more, without losing what became Remus & Luna & Teddy's story. Thank you so much for the feedback and affirmation - really appreciate it!
It looks like Luna gentle love will help Remus through his pain, and they make such a lovely family

, thank you so much for reading and reviewing! Yes, for such an extreme life of different pain, Luna's gentle nature and special perceptions could help poor Remus as no other, perhaps, in this scenario, as well as little Teddy. Thanks again for the affirmation!
Luna would be a wonderful match in that scenario. Quirky enough to handle the differences, mellow enough to accept Tonks' place in Remus's heart, and clever enough to eventually win him over.....Very well written. Captures Remus's pain and Luna's gentle nature beautifully.

, thank you so much for reading and reviewing! I really appreciate your detailed feedback; there was a word limit, so I'm glad enough of her came across to be effective - she's such a special presence; absolutely agree with you - she could help balance Remus' life/be a wonderful match. Thanks again for the affirmation!
A poignantly touching story, with the added bonus of a happy ending! I love Luna, and I'm glad that she had the opportunity to shine (so to speak) here with Remus. Thanks for sharing this with us!

Indigo_rose, thank you so much for reading and reviewing! The was the first time attempting to portray Luna - I also love Luna, and was timid about depicting her - there was a word limit to the prompt, so I'm glad enough of her came across to be effective. Again, thanks for the affirmation!
