Summary
"So," Martin takes a sip from his mug, the same sunflower one from the night before. "You're a human, then?"
Jon nods. "Once. It's... Complicated." Jon grabs his thimble and takes a sip. Chamomile. Better than peppermint he thinks, but still not his favorite.
"It's a curse. Pretty bad one, too." He sets the thimble down. "Not painful, necessarily, not like lots of curses. But... Inconvenient. And it doesn't seem to be leaving me anytime soon."
"I could help you." Martin offers, and when Jon looks up at him, he seems just as surprised by the offer as Jon does.
"I mean, well... I'm an apothecary. I could try to heal you, if you'd let me." Martin explains, staring down at his tea.
_________Jon is the victim of an odd curse, and the kind apothecary who saved his life offers to heal him and let him stay in his cottage. How could Jon possibly say no?

Summary
Everyone’s favorite (fake) cockney accented delivery men have left a package for the Archivist. It seems to be a harmless music box, but why is there a bird in the Archives?

Summary
Martin, the prince of the Blackwood Kingdom, is arranged to be married to Peter Lukas of the Tundras to forge a stronger alliance between the two kingdoms. Unwilling to go through with the marriage, Martin flees the kingdom and, when hiding from the royal guard in a cottage he believes is abandoned, meets Jon, a witch who lives in that cottage and has no interest in harboring a runaway prince. But with the guard combing the woods day and night, Martin has no choice but to stay with Jon until the danger has passed and he is free to move on. Jon reluctantly agrees to let him stay, under the condition that Martin will leave as soon as it is safe for him to do so—as well as help out with the housework. With no other options, Martin agrees.
Neither of them expects to fall in love.

Summary
Jon picks up a book to pass time while "observing" his coworkers' homes. It's just a harmless book on British Shorthair cats with some cute pictures. Surely there could be nothing sinister about such a book.
