Summary
Why, you will ask yourself, does your professor leave his book on his desk during his lessons? Why then, does he keep it open, why does he invite you to look at it, why is he so careless? Doesn't he know that only the wizard who works alone will succeed? Doesn't he know that solitude mitigates risks? Doesn't he know that that's the thing about wizards? Eventually there is only one left.
Professor Widogast, his wizard's spellbook, and the many lessons he learned from his friends.

Summary
Essek watches the snowflakes dance through the air with lazy elegance; they land delicately and settle on his cloak, white blotting out the dark, one flake at a time. He should get up. If he stays like this much longer, he will be buried, and no one will ever find his body.

Summary
There is a gravity that has pulled them together many times. It pulled Caleb’s lips to Essek’s forehead, and Essek’s hands to Caleb’s arms when a tower collapsed upon him. It pulled Caleb to Eiselcross, now, to be at Essek’s side as his life as the Shadowhand dies.
Now, it could pull them together into Aeor.
(Two wizards venture into Aeor - and find that something has woken in the dead city's depths. Something dangerous. Something that will force them to decide what their pasts mean to them, and what they mean to each other.)

Reports of my safety have been greatly exaggerated by ghosttopiary

Summary
Something sharp and cold burrows between his shoulder blades and settles along his spine. The Shadowhand straightens his back, spits the blood from his mouth and steels himself for the second betrayal of the only friendship he’s ever had. The lie coats his tongue like quicksilver – it tastes a little like grief, and a little like victory.
»Hello Jester. My apologies, I could not contact you earlier. Sudden circumstances disallowed me the visit at last minute, but I am quite hale.«

Summary
Professor Dynamo didn't expect much when he was nominated as godfather to Arin Fairfax, something he saw as an honorary role with no expectations. But throughout the years he finds himself fond of the young Fairfax heir, especially with their kind heart and limitless curiosity (similar to his own). Convinced that maybe being an upstanding figure for this kid probably wouldn't be a bad thing, they set up an exchange of letters.
When Arin died, Dynamo was devastated, until one rainy night he recieved a letter in particularly familiar handwriting (with a strange, froggy messenger).Bookmarked by tapiocaflower

Summary
If he had to describe himself, Flambae would need three words, and three words alone:
Hot, strong, heroic. Two of these were objective.
If he had to tell the truth?
Chad exists in pieces. Most of them not good. But trying their best not to be worse.
They certainly wouldn’t be good enough for Mecha Man.
Which makes every news outlet in Torrance deciding he and Robert must be fucking all that more confusing.
Or,
Everyone in Torrance thinks Flambae and Mecha Man are dating. Robert has no issues with that.

Summary
There is a heavy silence that hangs between the two. Both parties have better things to do than engage further in this strange scene, yet both are also too stubborn to be the one to pull away. To break the intensity, to try and salvage what is usually a decently amicable professional relationship. So they hang in suspension, and time ticks on as it always does. Inching closer and closer.
For a moment, when he sees movement and feels warmth against him, he assumes Burakh has merely brushed past him at a brisk pace. Perhaps trying to jostle him on purpose as he storms off to his other duties for the day.
That theory dissipates into dust when Burakh is caressing him, and soft full lips are flush against his.

Summary
He should have realized sooner. He was a doctor – there was no excuse.
Yet, standing in front of the tarnished mirror that topped his dresser, excuses were all he could think of. He had returned to the capital a shell-shocked shadow of the man who had left, a skeletal parody sizes too small for his own clothes. Of course he had been sick and ravenous in turns. Of course he had been fatigued, of course he had been gaining back weight. And the hormonal injections that instructed his body meant menstruation was no reliable indicator of anything, a near non-presence in his life for years.
He’d had no reason to suspect, except for that one reckless night with Artemy Burakh, back when the future had felt like a bad cheque to write.

Summary
Daniil had made every reasonable effort to avoid that outcome.
He had left the capital as soon after the full moon as he could reasonably arrange it. He had fully intended to return, with or without Simon Kain, long before that lunar affliction waxed again.
But every plan had been derailed, every train delayed, and the last one absent altogether. By the time he had arrived in the town on the Gorkhon river, the gibbous moon had already been staring down at him like an eye startled wide by his intrusion. Still opening at the slow-seeming pace of celestial surprise, inexorably towards the night when its round and brilliant stare would burn away his mind.

Bookmarker's Notes
Artemy had watched a two-legged Dankovsky eat his bread with enough care to avoid dropping a single crumb on the mud-tracked town hall floor. It seemed his wolf-self didn’t care for those niceties either – gristle twisted and tore, blood spattered as he bolted down his meal.
。。。
It was all about warmth, his grip and mouth and the earth and the wolf said with every sinew. All about warmth and blood and love.

Summary
“She likes you, Daniil. Sticky, too.” Artemy spoke tenderly.
"I'm here, that’s all I am.” Daniil answered back when he was able to compose himself. "Should I leave, they would adapt to it easily and find a new passing interest... or fill in the vacancy in with another presence." He kept his words ambiguous; he knew that in the core of the concept, there wasn't a mystery, he would stay until they told him it was time to go... and there many ways to tell him to go. He was always listening for them. There was a sweetness and bitterness to the new experience, timidly coming in slowly in his life, and knew it can be torn from him. He didn't know if it would be a mercy or a tragedy if it was. He still didn't know if it was a welcomed distraction, or if it was a distraction at all.
-------------------------------
Daniil learns fatherhood can be sweet, sour, or a mixture all at once.

LARPing can be a fun, social, silly, and addictive hobby. And luckily for the other players at Helen's monthly fantasy game, Dell Conagher's been granted the reigns to write plot this month, culminating in a direct confrontation between the goblinoids and fae populations in and around the fantasy town of Teufort, dragging the town's residents (the game's player characters) into the middle!
