Probationary Constable Peter Grant met me for the first time when I walked up to him by the portico of the Actors' Church on a freezing winter night and said, "Hello. What are you up to?" However, I first met Detective Sergeant Peter Grant when he jogged up to my doorstep on a mild autumn afternoon and said, "There you are, sir. It is you, isn't it?"

Summary
"I don't want you to hurt yourself," Beau admits, and he doesn't have a response to give her. Hurt has been tangled up with everything Astrid and Eadwulf are to him for so long by now that it would be impossible to untangle it from the threads that bind them together. He has already hurt himself. He will continue to do so, because they are Astrid and Wulf and the hurt he finds in them is familiar and feels like home.
He knows Beau is well aware this will never be simple.
or: beau, knowing everything she does after hearing caleb, astrid, and wulf's stories, can't ignore what she sees growing again in front of her

Summary
Except for a select few, mages within the empire are treated like little more than a commodity for the politicians. Few of the common folk ever encounter a mage, as their skills are solely employed by the crown and rogues are ruthlessly hunted and killed. With peace being brokered with their Xhorhasian enemies, the Empire decides to gift their prized Archmage to the Mighty Nine as a sign of their commitment to making the peace last.
OR
Caleb needs all the hugs and Trent will get what’s coming to him.

Summary
Brevity has never been his strong suit, and the lies on Caleb's tongue melt like ash in water.
He would chase them if he could. Calloused hands delving into icy water.
But every syllable that slithers from between his teeth is too fast and too sharp for him to reach.
The truth shackles him to the ground and all Caleb can do is wait it out.
(A truth spell has taken hold of Caleb Widogast, and it goes as horribly as you'd expect from such a scenario.)Series

Summary
The man in ragged clothes with a worn face and sad eyes had no name. He was no one. Nothing. It was safer that way. No one notices a man with no name, with dirt on his face and rubbed into his clothes beyond repair. A nameless person is just a passing shadow, and that’s all he wanted to be.
Until he was Caleb.

“You were the best captain any man could have wished for,” he said, quietly because their faces were so close together. Laurence could feel the air disturbed between them by his words. “But I am not your friend because you are a fine captain or a good aviator.”
“A friend?” Laurence asked, wetting his lips, unable to look away from Granby’s eyes.
