Author's Notes: For
green_amber who asked for "any pairing--Rebuilding/recovering from the war", spanking, biting, alcohol, faraway locations, extreme weather, banter, a touch of humour, and Spunky! Not!Dead Tonks, all of which are in here in some way or another. There is fluff, angst and bittersweetness, as well as a hopeful ending. If the story makes you cry at any point, I pray it's for the right reasons! I really hope you enjoy this.
I tried to stick pretty close to canon whenever possible through the end of
Deathly Hallows, other than the Tragic Death of Nymphadora Tonks, of course. I suspect my version of how Patronus messages work is not quite canon, but it was the only way to make certain plot elements work, so please forgive me. I'm also aware that Cedric Diggory probably wasn't a reserve Seeker in his first year at school, but it was nice to name-check him all the same.
Many thanks to my entire support team who kept me going when I was ready to just give up and delete the entire thing, and to the
hp_springsmut mods who were more than patient with me. I do hope it was worth the wait.
