subject: Re: what the heck spell checkCoach Lasso,
I can assure you that my transfer has nothing to do with your club's relegation, nor is there anything that Richmond has done in error. Rather, I have spoken with my editors and we’ve agreed that this is the most appropriate course of action.
I wish you all the best in the season.

Summary
After the first shock, dying feels like the morning of a bad hangover: a slow re-assembly of sense as you figure out where you are, how you got here, and how to make the headache stop.
Somewhere on the Path, Eskel dies. Big shocker.
Slightly more surprising: post-mortem, he takes up work as a psychopomp. Old habit; work suits him.
More surprising still: he recognizes one of the spirits that he encounters on the job. Someone lingering in the ruins of Kaer Morhen, unable to pass on.
Once a witcher, always a witcher. The same goes for sons.

Summary
Argus' life was a largely thankless one (unless you counted the thanks of the paintings he maintained), working on keeping a thousand year old castle from falling down around the ears of students who didn't care. He had his cat, his work, his books, and a constant boil of self hatred and resentment to get him by.
And then a sixth year handed him a letter from her aunt, thanking him for acting as conservator of Hogwarts and calling him Dr. Filch. It was the first time he had been called Doctor since he started at the castle. He had little choice but to write back, after that.

Summary
The land where the School of the Crane has been based for centuries is awash with blood. Stefan knows that his students have to flee; he just didn't realize they would have to flee so fast.

"BJ keeps looking to Hawkeye, hoping he’ll get the message. He has to get the message, it’s spelled out so clear. Like lines in the sand. Like moving rocks in the middle of the night. Like words that mean something, if you look at them the right way."

Summary
Padme lives. She runs.
--
Leia is growing in fits and spurts, eating greedily and crying loudly. She stays in a sling on Padme’s chest when they move, Luke held snug in a sling around Obi Wan’s. Luke gets a whole head of thick brown hair while Leia’s is still patchy and bald, but he never matches his sister’s powerful lungs.
When Padme had been sitting in her high senatorial apartment on Corsucant, holding Anakin’s sweaty hand, she had never imagined she’d be murmuring desperately soothing noises to her fussy daughter while she shot around a corner at stormtroopers, while R2D2 meddles with a ship’s blast doors behind her.
Luke starts teething on a hot jungle planet where they hunker down for three weeks, sleeping in an abandoned old temple and catching the local wildlife for dinner. Leia takes her first steps in the belly of a Corellian freighter they’ve stowed away on. She wobbles between Padme’s outstretched hands and Obi Wan’s knees and boxes of smuggled luxuries. When she falls down, Obi Wan surges forward, heart in his throat, but Leia laughs.
