Summary
"So, my school is doing a presentation thing for Mother's Day. With dancing and cards and stuff. I was voted to make the starting and ending speech," he smiled shyly, still not looking at Buck.
"Wow, that must be special. How do you feel about it?" he asked, hoping against hope it's the right thing to say.
"It's good that they chose me. But it feels a bit weird, since my mom isn't going to be there to see it," he grimaced, and Buck was glad the kid wasn't looking, because he's sure his sad expression wouldn't be easily hidden. What to say to this boy who's experienced such loss at this young age?
"I'm sure she'll be watching, from wherever she is," he answered, and Chris nodded.
"I know, I know. But that's not my point," he gestured, suddenly agitated, then looked at Buck. "It feels unfair to have Dad go, since he gets all the Family Day and Father's Day cards and gifts and everything. So I want to know if you'd go. You know, to be my mom."

Summary
"Yeah, I never learned. Left home too early, and my mother didn't know either. You're the first to point it out, though," he added.
"I would like to think I know you quite well now, and I did notice," Stede replied, wanting to know what in Heaven would elicit such a furiously startled expression from his friend, but not being brave enough to ask. It was not the goal of this interaction, anyway. "I meant to mention it because I can teach you, if you'd like. Like we've been teaching each other fine things and pirate things."
"You'd do that?" Ed smiled, that excited smile he would give his co-captain, like he wouldn’t believe his luck.
For you? Anything, Stede thought. "Of course! We can start tomorrow if you'd like!" he said instead.Stede offers to teach Ed how to read and write. Despite all the words they learn, there are many left unsaid.

Summary
“Miss Knotwise, your assignment in Chronurgy magic and the inherent scrambling of timelines is back at your desk, properly graded. I would very much enjoy having some tea over it later, when you don’t seem quite so busy,” he eyed the closed books and rolled up scrolls of parchment around them. Sofia grinned.
“I’d love to do that, Professor Widogast! Maybe after the Feast, when I’m not so caught up on this project?” she asked, and he nodded. Narr knew that other people would be very much suspicious of his friend if she said something like that to them, but Professor Essek wasn’t prone to imagine people were doing something nice for him. Even after years and years of teaching and receiving various gifts from his students, he always had that surprised look of awe and pleasure every time they gave him something. Maybe that’s why giving him presents was so good.A bright young student at the Widogasts' Whistling Towers decided to give her Professors a Winter's Crest gift.
