    Summary

    “Don’t move anything out of place, Ronald,” Inference said crossly. Not only was he strict with his work, but he also was with his belongings.

    “Of Ness,” was the reply he received, followed by a cheeky smile. There it was again, that aching familiar feeling.

    Summary

    "May I have this dance, detective?" The actor offers his hand with a deep bow, gleam bright within his eye.

    Despite himself, Inference shakes his head, biting back the smile that finally threatens to crawl up the edges of his lips as he takes a puff from his pipe. "You're ridiculous," he says, the fondness of his tone betraying the halfhearted bite of his words.

    It’s admiration, Norton rationalizes. Nothing more than that; nothing unusual.

    Summary

    “I don’t think you quite understand,” The cigarette between Mole’s lips was pulled back, tapped off the edge, leaving smoke and ash in its wake. His eyes, golden and malicious, held a predatory glint that sent most challengers running with their tails between their legs.

    “This isn’t a game of money, my friend.

    “What we trade here, in this ring, are our very lives.” A smile creeped its way onto his lips. Sharp, animalistic teeth lined his grin. “I hope you can understand.”

    Summary

    He closes his eyes in resignation and it is with no little amount of surprise that he feels the hands being lifted from his throat, legs quickly being retreated from his torso. When he opens his eyes, he is met with the same stormy blue eyes – now horrified as the person looks at him.
    “What have they done to you?”

    =============

    When Norton Campbell deserts the Fire Nation army and finds himself with a bounty over his head, help comes from the most unexpected place - a small and fierce airbender who lost his home, trying to find the closure he needs. Living in a all-out war is not easy.

    Summary

    “Scared? What if your dance partner is a lady? Or even worse, daughter of the host? Surely you don’t intend to embarrass yourself by saying you don’t know how to lead,” Norton remembered to put on the phonograph in the corner of the studio, winding the device up until the record started to play,  Tchaikovsky… the actor didn’t remember owning this record. Kroto must have been in the studio before him. He’d have to remind her to stop leaving her belongings all over the theatre even if she was the new prima donna.

    Summary

    “So,” Naib says, pushing a bit of his food around on his plate, “You’ve got a house now.”

    Norton snorts, “Something like that.”

    “It’s a nice house,” Naib continues, fingers twitching against silverware, “Rather large. But nice.”

    “Thanks,” Norton stares at him, raises his fork to point at him in a way that feels far less threatening and far more accusatory. His tone is so incredibly dry, and gaze so incredibly blank, and then he adds, “Was a lot nicer before you covered it in my blood.”

    And all Naib ducks his head into his hand and groan, “Campbell-”

    “You know, I think that’s going to stain.”

    He grabs his hood and quietly yanks it over his eyes.

    Of all the people, it had to be Norton fucking Campbell.

    Summary

    "So, what're you planning on doing?”

    "What? Me taking an off week means something has to have happened?"

    Truth gives him a Look. Inference scowls.

    "Okay, fine. Ronald invited me to the theatre whenever I got back. I assume you're the one who left the letter on my desk?"

    "Oh, yes!" Truth clapped her hands. "The one with the strange mask! He was very memorable, yes." Inference tries not to blanch at the knowledge that Ronald just wears his stage mask everywhere – metaphorically and physically, apparently. She leans forward on her elbows, head propped in her hands. "Is it a date?"

    Inference sputters. "A date?" No way. Truth was definitely more of a romantic than him, so of course she'd ask that, but –

    But…

    "It definitely is not. Just a meeting between two friends." Inference declares with finality.

    Summary

    “Cheshire?”

    The Cheshire Cat is still in his humanoid form, lounging in midair as if he was lying on a sofa, one hand holding his head. He waves one paw in the air and the crisp crack of magic fills the room. The package in front of Norton shines momentarily before dispersing into blue particles. The particles reform into about six small, blue cats who all take off through the shop door, going straight through it with their incorporeal form.

    Norton sighs. “That’s the last of the orders for today.”

    “About time.” Norton watches as Cheshire’s entire body stretches out once, and then quickly shrinks in on itself, turning him into his cat form.

    He floats down towards Norton and winds himself around his neck, a bit like a well-fitting scarf.

     

     

    OR

    Just Norton running his magical store with the help of his familiar, the Cheshire Cat.
