Summary
Because as I look down at my words, I peer down at them until my ears begin to droop down. My eyes begin to flutter close in soft blinks until the image of the words begins to blur before me.
The context of my words have always spelled out ruin. I knew this as soon as I could grasp what the inked words meant.
Fighting the darkness that seeps into the corners of my eyes, I see the words from my soulmate that will inevitably crush me.
Look at how my tears ricochet
It’s the last thing I see before the darkness takes me.

Summary
Johnny tied the bandage off, tight enough that it won’t slip but not tight enough to lose circulation. “I’ll strike a deal with you Sir Parker. I am a very forgiving man so I won’t report this to your king, if you tell me what exactly it is you are doing and allow me to assist you as well.”
“What do you gain from helping me?” Peter asked, eyes piercing through Johnny, face hardened as if prepared for war.
Johnny simply smiles because there wasn’t much to it, “Whether it is my kingdom or not, I do not wish for any to suffer. If your mission is to alleviate that pain then that is a noble cause I can get behind.”
Bit by bit tension eased out of Peter, his gaze cast to the side, Johnny ached to catch it again. “Right.” He said, resigned. “I’ve learnt to recognize when I’ve been cornered.”
Johnny’s smile transitions into a much more playful and sly one. “That’s the makings of a bad politician. If your heart is still beating then you can still argue.”
There’s a quiet up turn to Peter’s lips, “Maybe if you’re a prince.”

Johnny's a foreign prince staying in a foreign kingdom, Peter's a knight with a little more to him that meets the eye.

Summary
"No, no, no, NOOO!!!" he whispered, a desperate, frantic sound. "Please, no."
His eyes scanned the floor. A glint of gold caught his attention, a bright spot against the gloom. There, lying on the stone, was his time turner. He practically threw himself at it, his hands trembling. The Time-Turner, a delicate, ornate thing with the words "Don't break this, Scorpius" engraved on the side, was shattered. The intricate hourglass was cracked, its sand spilled out onto the floor like a trail of liquid gold. The chain was snapped in two. It was worthless. And with it, now he is stuck in an unknown time.
Every choice has a price, and every move is a gamble. Can Scorpius outwit destiny, or will time come calling for its debt? Join him as he juggles parenting his own father, playing matchmaker for his parents, and trying to tiptoe through history without causing a tidal wave. After all, not every battle is fought with wands; some are won on the chessboard.
