Summary
Ron shuddered. “Whatever you say, mate.” But he couldn’t shake the jittery feeling of spiders crawling over his skin. “So if not spiders,” he asked, eager to change the subject, “what are you afraid of?”
Harry snorted, as if the answer were obvious. “Voldemort killed my parents, Ron.”
“He doesn’t count,” Ron protested, pointedly avoiding using the name. It still made him uncomfortable how Harry could speak the name so easily. “Everyone’s scared of him. I mean little things. Like heights, snakes, that kind of thing.”
Harry was quiet for a while. So long that Ron assumed he was ignoring his question. Which was fine. It was quite personal, after all.
“I suppose…I suppose I don’t like small spaces. Y’know, being trapped.”OR
Small moments in the series where Ron realizes just how bad Harry’s home life is with the Dursleys.

Summary
Kaz leaned back in his chair and set the notebook down. He looked at Wylan with renewed interest, like he was a lock that Kaz had to take apart. “Bad fathers exist everywhere in Ketterdam. Just because he didn’t kiss you goodnight doesn’t mean he wants you dead.”
Wylan bristled indignantly. “It’s the truth.”
“Even Van Eck cares about his legacy.”
“I’m not his legacy.” The words came out harder than Wylan intended. He was shocked by the force of them. They tasted bitter, like a poison he was drawing out of his body. And now that the truth was so close to the surface, he had to keep going. “I’ll never be. I’m useless to him. Because—, because—, because I can’t read.”
OR
The moment in SoC where Wylan tells Kaz he can't be his insurance, because we don't have enough Wylan POV in SoC. Set on the Ferolind after the Ice Court.

Summary
“I’m sorry about my father.”
Inej remembered her reunion with the others just a few hours ago. Amid the hugs from Jesper and kisses from Nina, the smile from Matthias, Wylan had remained separate. He hung back, further from the group than even Kaz, a dark cloud of shame settling across his hunched shoulders. A frightened dog, scared to approach.
“What did he do to you?”
Inej repeated the lie she told Kaz. “He did not hurt me.”OR
Set during Crooked Kingdom, after Inej gets rescued from Jan van Eck. Wylan apologizes for his father.

Summary
It was stupid. Merlin had faced countless dangers in his short time with Arthur. He’d faced enchantresses. He’d faced evil knights with magic shields. He marched alongside Arthur on every dangerous adventure, equipped with nothing more than the clothes on his back and his magic. He’d been burned, beaten, threatened, starved, and pelted with rotten fruit. He survived every single day in Uther’s anti-magical regime, every day risking discovery and death.
So why couldn’t he drink one stupid goblet of wine?Or:
Merlin has anxiety, and Arthur is there for him.
