"It's all we've got, she thinks sadly, it's all I have. She wonders why she was so desperate, why she craved the love of a man who desired a man. Stars burn in her eyes and shame spills on her cheeks but she kisses Remus, and loves him feverishly." Five times Tonks falls in love with Remus (as she believes he loves another) and one time he falls in love with her. RLNT, past RLSB.

Every day, Tonks, being her usual inexorable, hope-for-the-best self, every day she tries to smooth out the world but it is crumpled and crinkled, and the part where Remus sits, it is torn. Remus and Tonks, throughout the books.
