Magnifico! Formidable! Oh Firenze! Bella! I could just smell, taste, feel this so perfectly. I was in Florence this past summer and *sigh* so beautiful! Boboli! The gelateria! I do hope Remus got the best kind which is cioccolato and yoghurt. If he ate that every day then he would gain the ten pounds I did quite quickly.
I enjoyed this very much and your ressurection of them both fit very well. I do like that Remus feels haunted by Tonks death and the guilt he feels. I also liked how you were sure to point out he loved Teddy very much. Him finding Snape was brilliant and the family recipe very good.
As my Italian is horrible and I knoew very few phrases (mostly curse words and related to food) I think when Snape saw Remus at the door he thought "Figlio di puttana!!!!"
