Author's Notes: Doing the research for this was fun. It would have been more fun if I hadn't been in such a hurry, but at least I was able to build on some previous knowledge, and now know more, which is always good.

Just so the title doesn't bug you – in the 18th century Birmingham toymakers made "toys" (duh). "Birmingham toys" were not dolls or trains or spinning tops, but small more-or-less useful objects, including anything for which the patterns used changed frequently: boxes, buttons, buckles, bracelets, seals (most of what we now call jewelery), clocks, watches, specialised tools, and you-name-its.

I hope the plot I stitched together holds up. I chose this prompt from karasu_hime's list: Snape/Tonks: Tonks wants Snape. Have at it! I believe I managed to include a good number of her smut preferences.

Thanks to my beta reader B, my pre-beta reader R, and to the mods for their patience, no doubt finger-tapping and head-desking, but they never shared that with me.
