You had me worried for a minute with the summary there, because I was afraid Remus was dead and that was that. So glad I was wrong!
Okay, so first of all, I'm obviously here for Remus/Sirius, but I have to say that I really liked the way you wrote Tonks/Emmeline. I love how they work so quickly together to protect Teddy and to deal with whatever/whomever is out there, and I love Tonks's annoyance at her mother giving Teddy chocolate, and I love the way you've written Teddy--every bit of dialogue from him was perfect and adorable. I love, love, love that Sirius lives with them and that he cooks and he's worried for a minute that Tonks might want Remus back. Remus's initial reaction, thinking everyone else must be dead too, was poignant and believable. And I love that Snape made a brief appearance in Remus's memory:
For awhile Severus Snape had stalked along beside him. Neither of them had spoken, but it had been almost comfortable, walking in shared silence. Then, though the road did not divide, Severus had gradually moved aside, further and further away.
And the last little bit made me sigh in contentment, when Remus finally accepts that he's home, and that finally he and Sirius
had the rest of their lives, which he could now count in years, rather than weeks or days.

Really lovely story.
