Lupin Tonks fanfiction by Lyra Lupin
https://www.fanfiction.net/u/158041/Lyra-Lupin
Lyra Lupin is the first author who made me realize the sacred nature of sex. Lyra has shown the purity of love between Lupin and Tonks even when they themselves are yet to realize it. They feel it anyway and do act on it too, but the material world has left a deep impression on their minds. They still don't know that their souls are one and they are just the male and the female counterparts of each other. So, with a lot of self-doubt on both halves, they do join anyway and find themselves unable to separate.
When Rowling thinks of Lupin as someone who is like an HIV patient or something, it shows the utter lack of understanding on Rowling's behalf. She does not understand why people love and what love it, why Tonks loves Lupin is beyond her comprehension. But, she finds her enigma interesting and it adds to the mystery of Harry Potter and makes it seem real so she includes them. Rowling does not know what to do with these borrowed characters so she does not show their romance or love. Love is too much for Rowling to handle, she does not understand what it is, so she decides that they are better gotten rid of so that she need not discuss of what happened to them in the future. Rowling could have a lot of freedom to stick to her shallow and unreal characters like Harry and Hermione now and the real ones can easily be forgotten.
The only thing that I do not like about Lyra Lupin is she kills off Sirius mirroring Rowling. It is wrong and it did not happen because Rowling admits that getting rid of Sirius was what the plot demanded. But, Rowling has borrowed her characters from those places which is too real life to do her bidding, so no, Sirius lived after the battle and maybe became an auror or something, I believe. Again, Lupin and Tonks bonding over the death of their Dogstar friend makes the couple's affection look temporary and shallow. Sirius pushing them together but unable to do much to break Lupin's resolve would add more substance to Lupin-Tonks pairing. It is what happened, I think. Sirius the womanizer failing to understand why Moony acted the way, Sirius unable to understand what love truly is and how Moony loves Tonks beyond Sirius's comprehension. Sirius being horrible to Lupin and Lupin being defensive and the two men duelling for what each believe would be the young woman's happiness makes more sense to me.
Every fanfiction writer has presented Lupin-Tonks in their own way. All of them are correct, Lupin-Tonk's real relationship is a superposition of all these things. It is not possible to focus on all the aspects of the couple in a single genre or fanfiction so all the different fanfic writers have played their parts very well to explain to me what they are like. Again, Lyra Lupin has kept humor at bay. She has stressed on the sacred part of their relationship and shows it in stark contrast to Western culture. She has even shown that the relationship was based on the ancient Indian knowledge of souls. Lupin has been shown to be too Protestant when it came to just sex, sex, and unbridled sex that is associated with every werewolf. Lyra Lupin has shown that he possesses the soul power to control the monster within which many others find difficult to contain even if they are humans and not werewolves. Lyra has shown Lupin to be better than other men, every other man in this world, a man worthy of every woman's reverence and worship. He has no doubt, shown his Dora, the path to love which is true and eternal even when he has refused to be in a relationship with her, and she in return has gradually accepted it. Her love is making him whole and his love is making her worthy. Lyra stresses that between Lupin and Tonks, there is no concept of separation, no concept of me and you, no space no time, and hence relationship is not required to cement them together. Relationship, on the other hand, makes Lupin accept himself the way he is and get rid of misery when she embraces what he hates with an equal fervour as she embraces parts of him he is so proud of. Relationsihp makes Tonks secure and sure of herself that if she can be worth him then she is a worthy witch, a perfect woman.
I never had a mother, aunt, grandmother, or even an elder sister who could tell me what love is and why sex is not dirty. Lyra Lupin has fulfilled this role in my personal life and now I know that between lovers, sex is sacred so I am blessed to have discovered her page. And, here are her fanfics about my favorite werewolf-metamorphmagus couple who I wish I could call my parents.
