Summary
With a number of problems to deal with already, a new (and intriguing) addition to his parish is the last thing the Comte de Reynaud needs - and the foreign chocolaterie owner, who is rumoured to be atheistic, unmarried and strikingly beautiful, will be more trouble than he can possibly imagine.
Long fic, short chapters, a little bit of hurt and a lot of comfort.
2024 update: I originally wrote this fic over a very short period of time. Having now gone over and (hopefully) improved the overall work and added a lot of material, especially to the early chapters, as well as completing the epilogue, I'm happy to consider it finally finished.- Language:

Summary
I may be ice: as frigid and deceptively fragile as frost at dawn—an apt crown for aphelion of the tantalising warmth that has ever tempted but never thawed me. Yet I’m also summer: mesmerising menace masked by mirth, debauched bearer of every earthly delight, purveyor of such luminescence that I rival Sol, although I’m damned myself to gloom that only a half–denizen of the Void can know.
He may be fire: as fervid and dazzlingly ferocious as wildfire at zenith, subjugated to the furious tempest that rages within him, mercilessly as surf ravages scar, demanding immolation on a protean pyre—for whom does he burn tonight? Yet he’s also winter: winsome woe of reckoning, scourge to the sublime and dread of the decadent, although all he covets in these worlds are the halcyon days he’s due.
We are both creatures of contradictions. It’s why we understand one another. But it’s not lost on me that ice and fire cannot mingle without the frailer’s demise, that summer and winter never meet anywhere but the Ice. We tried for temperance.
We failed.

Summary
"There aren't many Jedi left, are there? For those who know what to look for, you are impossible to mistake, dear boy."
He wasn't an Inquisitor. He wasn't Vader. Were there more Yoda and Ben hadn't known about? Given what they'd kept from him about his parentage, what else had they concealed?
"I'm not a Jedi," he said truthfully. He'd abandoned the training. "I don't know what a Jedi should be."

Summary
He had read her diary, her most private thoughts, her most horrible doubts, her most intimate secrets. Not content with the worst of intrusions, he had also written in it. Written with her ink, on her paper that had served her since Laura came back. He knew what she dreamt of, what she feared, her disgusting bouts of jealousy… And had still called her a sublime creature, magnificent Marian, a person of similar sensibility. Still, he wanted to deposit his homage at her feet.
Fosco gets the opportunity to "deposit his homage at her feet" (this is what the kids call it these days)
