Summary
He truly had not meant for her to know, had assumed it would have been easier on them all to simply disappear, morning fog off the waves with the breaking of a new dawn. After all, Judith would find herself in far more trouble if Julien stayed by her side, and he had duties across the ocean whose importance tugged at him with an urgency that had far superseded his affections for one woman and her as-yet-unborn son.

Summary
Pursing his lips, Julien steadily picked his way toward a foyer-esque room, if only to attempt—perhaps in vain—to regain his bearings, but as he walked, he became distinctly aware of the whisper-faint echo of bootheels on the boards. He pressed on, but his fingers danced across the handle of his knife, now, just in case.

Summary
Even here, roasting dinner over a meager blaze and melting like a midnight candle in his woolen coat, the heat was a touch of reassurance, careful hands cradling his face. It was most agreeable to share the company of an individual of similar mind.

Summary
Hello all, thank you for being here! What this is is... a mess, for the most part, but it's actually a compilation of excerpts of my half-finished fics! Whether they were lost due to jumping hyperfixations or school sucking the soul out of me, these fics were abandoned for some reason or another. They span multiple fandoms, tropes, lengths, and moods, and are only slightly edited. All of them will be trimmed more than what actually exists, because I want to give it a somewhat appropriate end point.
Tags and fandoms will be added with each new posting! Hope y'all enjoy the ride.
Oh, and please feel free to yell at me in the comments if you want any more of them. I'm very susceptible to peer pressure.
