    Summary

    It happened quietly, like a soft fall of rain. His left leg folded under him, and then the right, until he was kneeling on the York street with his hands ground into the cobbles, clinging to the thought that John Segundus might somehow feel it and understand that Childermass had meant to come home.

    In which Childermass is, contrary to popular belief, not dead - but also very far from safe.

    Summary

    The aim of this anthology is to discuss the care and handling of magical collections–outlining both suitable ways of caring for and conserving them, but also describing those difficulties that arise in relation to their magical qualities. Each chapter discusses a separate topic and difficulty, often relating to a specific case study or phenomena.

    Two extracts from the anthology The Care of Magical Objects (1997) by Harald Bäcker, focusing on the conservation and collection care of magical objects, as well as extracts from Misters Strange and Norrell's annoyance with being perceived as historical relics and not magicians.

    Summary

    After he and Strange escape from the Pillar of Darkness, Norrell has nowhere to go. Segundus offers him a room and Starecross. As so often happens in these sorts of situations, things get rather complicated. A fill for a kink meme prompt requesting postcanon Childermass/Norrell/Segundus.
