Summary
“You don’t erase damage,” Verso said; “you learn to work with it. Fill the cracks gently. Help it hold together again.”
////
Six months after the explosion at the lab, Gustave returns to work with an arm gone and a brain still far from healed. The university told him to take more time. His friends tried to pull him back into the world, but he’s learned how to turn them all away.
On his first day back, he meets Verso Dessendre; quiet, steady, with scars of his own and a beautiful streak of silver in his hair. A man who restores paintings for a living, yet struggles to restore himself.
As they grow closer, Gustave begins to wonder if Verso might be right.
Maybe some damage isn’t the end, but the start of something worth holding together.- Language:

Summary
Battered and broken beneath the shadow of the Crone, Istvan Toth had not expected to survive his perilous fall. More surprising still were the hands that pulled him from the grave and back into warmth, light and love. But who now is Toth, made lowly amongst men once more?

First fanfiction! Or at least the first one I ever posted. I'm not a great writer, and English is also my second language, so apologies for any mistakes.
yeah I don't like Jobst.Bookmarked by Wocky

Summary
When he complains of the pain to his mother, she does not reassure him, does not hug him. She opens her mouth to start speaking, but is cut off when it suddenly starts pouring outside. Frowning at the worsening weather, she gathers her bearings and quotes what is undoubtedly a passage from the Bible, “We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope. Take lesson from that, John. This will only make you a better Christian in the eyes of God.”
And John is afraid suddenly of what it means that he does not rejoice in his pain. That he hates it. Maybe he is weak, in the end.
