couple of typos that i fixed here:
OR if there ever had been.
THERE was the sound of a rickety window opening and shutting behind her, and then, silence.
She was up before he got the chance to respond, walking quickly out of the pub and into the street, where a spotty teenage boy was clutching his stomach and LEANING over the curb.
You don’t talk, and it’s not like we were ever BARING our souls to each other, but you used to tell me things.
It was A familiar gesture.

i know contemplation is a good word, and this is probably just because you had a fic named that, but you use it in every story. don't know if that's a problem or not, just an observation... could get annoying.

and having said all that we'll get to the important stuff. this is good. it ended well. it's depressed, which i think is the mood you were aiming for; you conveyed a lot with a few words, and you did a lot indirectly, which is always good. however (there's always one of those, isn't there?), the pacing isn't as good as some of your other things. it gets slow in obvious places, meaning that even if there's a line that seems important, due to aesthetic value or for the sake of the story or for whatever reason, there's some stuff that could get cut. for instance, part two. it ends beautifully. it's very important. but all that other stuff, the people, it doesn't feel so much like tonks is watching them, or it's affecting her, they're just there. it's part of the background that you're making foreground, i would say unnecessarily.
remus is great. it starts well. i think it could be at least as good as your other ones if you just make a few small changes, that sort of taint the whole piece. and it's quite different - all your stories are - which is fabulous. contemplation seems sort of colourful, whereas this one is more about sounds, if you know what i mean. you describe different things, and that's awesome. but this one you over-described just a tad.
anyway, i'm just being finiky here, if you're done with it it's nothing to be ashamed of by any stretch, it's really good. i just feel like you have the potential to do better.

Hmm, is it weird that the second time I've read this that I think it's actually alot more optimistic than I originally thought? I mean, at first, Remus doesn't seem to love Tonks, but near the end, it seems his love's just suppressed...Maybe that was supposed to be obvious...Anyways, I think it's better for him to love her and hide it than to not love her at all, right? Well, I just have to add that you are a really eloquent author and I would love to have more stories!

You really are a superb writer. Absolutely brilliant. Best fanfiction I've read all year. Better than most books I've read this year, actually. Brilliant.

I loved this! So well-written, and it seemed very real. I can almost hear the background noise and smell the heartbreak, hah. Nice work!

Briilant. Beautiful. Heartbreaking.

What to say? BEAUTIFUL! Abso**inglutely.

No one writes these complete fall out pieces, but you managed it and it was perfect. These characters are so real. Cheers to you.

peace,

Bittersweet, depressing, but I always love your writing! So cheers! = )

He. I love your writing, you capture them both so well. I adore the guy that ranted about her teakettle! Seems like they're always doing stuff like that in flats etc. Nosy neighbors. :D

That was wonderful - please write more soon.

This was so beautiful (as always) and so sad. Poor Tonks :(

Thanks for sharing. Can't wait for another.

gorgeous. absolutely gorgeous.

Good gracious, that was dark. Very good, but quite depressing.

beautiful, somber piece. one shot or can i hope for more?

That was extremely well-written and terribly depressing! LOL! It had a very heavy cloud over it, of the fear that something special was on the verge of happening and it was fading away. And both of them felt they had the power to stop the fading and were just watching it disappear, hearts tied behind their backs, so to speak.

Beautiful and haunting. Thank you for writing and for posting!

Wow, that's a bit darker than your other stories but I liked it nonetheless. I hope you come out with more soon. LunasStar
