Summary
"Who is he?" she asked him, her tone accusatory as she didn't even bother to let G'raha explain himself.
And Foulques only laughed tiredly at the question… leaving G'raha wondering how he would answer.
Foulques had never been the first to jump to explain what their relationship was, leaving Celestaux with his kind eyes and easy smile to do the talking or letting G'raha ramble through an explanation that usually left people more confused… But now he had to put it to words, had to explain something to this woman since G'raha's words were clearly no good here.
"He's…" Foulques started, letting out a breath and slowly turning his head to look at G'raha.

Summary
"Your father, the other one, could you tell me about him?" G'raha asked quietly as he and Gwenette sat at the harbor in Sharlayan. G'raha had his back pressed up against one of the supply boxes that littered the docks while Gwen laid flat on her back, staring up at the clouds in the evening sky and looking like she was trying to make sense of them.
For a few moments, all that could be heard were the gulls above them and the tide rolling in and crashing against the harbor and G'raha wondered if Gwenette had heard him. Perhaps he'd spoken too quietly or worse hadn't even spoken the question that had been gnawing at him aloud.
But then Gwen let out a heavy sigh, one that almost made him feel guilty for asking, and turned her head to rest her cheek against the sun-warmed stone walkways to look over at him. "What do you want to know about him?" she asked quietly, looking both pained and grateful for something to talk about.

Summary
Artoirel was not insane.
If it was not his own illness to blame, the alternative was worse. A demon. A creature born of sin, undeniably, because nothing that walked in the light of Halone seethed the way this thing did.

Summary
The old Gelmorran final rights prayers played in his mind as he awaited his death – at least he had the time to beg the gods for forgiveness, to beg to end up among his ancestors. And gods, did he need to beg after everything he'd done wrong. He didn't want to die, he didn't want his time to be cut short, not when he still had so much he wanted to do.
But his spiraling train of thought was interrupted as a hand reached into his vision, forcing him to look up to the cliff’s ledge to see him, the same damned man that had bested him.

Summary
He didn't know when the conversation had turned to discussing amusing stories of their past, but the conversation had flowed so smoothly. Talking to her felt like talking to an old friend, one of the easiest things in the world. At first, he thought it'd be strange, talking to her when she had the face of the enemy they'd done everything to vanquish just months ago, but it was easier to separate this Sphene from the Endless Sphene than he thought. Perhaps it really was simply the fact that he could relate, he may have had the memories and face of the Exarch, but that was another man all together from himself.

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
James Bond was a code name. He'd been using it long enough that he'd begun to think of himself by the name. But he wasn't particularly attached to it. So when Q demanded to not use the name outside of work, as a condition of them dating, he agreed easily.
Just why Q had issued that requirement sparked his curiosity. But it would take time, and plenty of stubbornness, to find the answer. It would also reveal other surprising revelations regarding the Quartermaster's history.

Summary
It was Mrs. Figg who suspected first.
She noticed many things, sitting on her side of her fence with her cats chasing butterflies and nuzzling her ankles, Mundungus and the other watchers dropping by for tea now and then.
Mrs. Figg noticed that Petunia was a nosy bit of work with insecurities hanging from her every harsh angle. She noticed when Dudley learned the word MINE-- the whole neighborhood noticed that one. She noticed that Vernon glared at owls.
She noticed that when Petunia gave Harry a truly horrendous haircut one year, it grew back in at a normal rate. Harry was uneven and weird-looking for ages, hiding under beanies when he could.
When Mrs. Figg had Harry over for carefully miserable afternoons of babysitting, she noticed nothing moved that shouldn't. He didn't accidentally make flowers out of fallen leaves, or levitate anything during tantrums, or turn toys funny colors.
Mrs. Figg called up her mother, interrupting the wizarding bridge game she was winning against the nursing home staff, and asked her how she had known, decades back, that her youngest daughter was a squib.

Summary
Remus works for the Gryffindor Lions as a physical trainer, and has been half in love with Sirius Black, the Lions' heartthrob captain, for a while now, but he never expected Sirius to return the feelings. Read if you like cute nicknames, slow burn, and pining. Yep. That's it.
There's some nice OC's of mine in here, too, please don't take them, thanks!
(If you want to see more of this universe, check out 12 Days of Ficmas 2020 in my listed works. These characters also appear (in a very situations) in my work Relic Keel, along with some new OCs)
