Summary
"What beast?" Albert eventually questioned his coworkers, feeling a long-buried passion stirring within his heart again.
Albert was handed over the newspaper, eyes wide in the face of a sketch of a massive creature spotted lurking the open plains within West Elizabeth. It looked like some form of wolf, though far larger and the illustration emphasized the glowing eyes of the creature.
An ardent reflection of one of mother nature’s most finest and merciless killers, untamed even as the wild lands surrounding it become smothered by humanity’s overreaching palm. The newspaper column was calling for local trappers to hunt it down - apparently it was ‘disturbing’ local livestock and farmers. Though to Albert, it appeared to be the most fascinating animal he’d ever laid eyes on. The true pinnacle of everything he’d ever wanted to capture in a photograph - the true and utter beauty that came from a creature so primal. A photograph of such a monster…
Or, Albert Mason goes on a wild goosechase for a certain predator. Unaware it's closer than he thinks.

Summary
"Arthur had learned this dance over the past decade. It was much more delicate than the ugly tumble it took to start a fight. Finding out if someone was itching for violence was simple, the signs often plain and in the open. It was expected of men to have the urge sometimes, as if they had a build-in affinity towards bloodied knuckles and bruised skin.
But the other dance was more complicated. It worked through small gestures, lingering gazes, fleeting touches. It had taken Arthur years to learn the intricacies of it.
He had also learned the prize for any misstep."
A look at Arthur's life, 1877-1898.

Summary
Lucius Malfoy wanted his son refined.
Durmstrang gave him opinions, a spine and, Merlin help us, a personality.
After a very public Hippogriff mishap and a Lucius-grade meltdown, Draco Malfoy is promptly shipped off to Durmstrang. The idea is to toughen him up, straighten him out, and remind him who he’s meant to be.
Instead, Draco starts asking questions. Making unlikely friends. Catching feelings he can't quite name. Worst of all? He begins to change and not in the ways his father intended.

With the Nords expelled, Resdayn celebrates its new freedom. In the midst of the celebrations, Nerevar gives Voryn his first order as not-yet-king - an order that is given in secret and startles Voryn with its oddly affectionate nature.
But it must be nothing other than a sign of their deepening friendship, which is set to deepen further with the tasks set ahead of them. There's a wedding to plan, a House to run, and a country to lead - one that is never entirely at peace.
