  1. At this point, Will is arguably the second most powerful man in Parliament, and amongst the most powerful men in the country. For our American cousins, Will is the equivalent of The House Minority Leader.
  2. M-Mister Peter, sir... (Poor Yani's going to get more than a Pumpkin Spice Latte)
  3. The corridors of Centre Block in the Ottawa Parliament buildings hummed with the frantic, highly caffeinated, deeply neurotic energy that always preceded Question Time. The air inside the historic, Gothic Revival structure was thick with the scent of old floor wax, damp wool overcoats, and the sharp tang of freshly printed briefing dossiers. Staffers in tailored, dark suits rushed past one another with armfuls of thick binders, their voices echoing off the carved limestone arches and vaulted, ha

    Turtugo met a similar fate in Breaking Bad.

    I was in a Telenovela mood.
  6. Luca's sister is getting married. The music is playing. The champagne is flowing. Everything is perfect—until Luca spots him across the ballroom. The man who stole his youth. The man who broke him and threw him away. Now Marco is back, playing the charming family friend, his dark eyes promising destruction. Luca can't leave. He can't tell anyone. And Marco knows it. Trapped in a nightmare of silk and flowers, Luca must survive the night without shattering—or destroying his sister's perfect day. But some predators don't know when to leave.
  7. The needle of the DJ’s turntable hit the vinyl with a sharp, heavy scratch, unleashing a blast of vintage brass and a driving, relentless bassline that vibrated through the floorboards of the grand ballroom. The sudden burst of music was meant to signal the transition from polite dinner conversation to the raucous, celebratory heart of the wedding reception, but to Luca, it sounded like a warning siren. He stood near the edge of the sprawling dance floor, a tall, impossibly thin figure swal
  8. They're both muppets... but they got there. Just needed that idiot Taine to get out of the way. "Seriously, screw that guy!" Pip popping a mushroom fritter and smirking.
  9. Yani probably has coffee minions by now... and a volcano lair.
  10. To the divine, untarnished mind of Angelo the Cherub, the universe was meant to be a place of absolute, crystalline order. Heaven operated on a system of concentric spheres, harmonious choirs, and unfathomably complex bureaucratic hierarchies that ensured every falling sparrow and shifting constellation was properly documented and filed. From the moment he had manifested in the celestial realms, Angelo had been taught that to be good was to be quiet, to be still, and to be perfectly, undeniably
  11. Now to find where they are hiding.
  12. He was another of the oneshot characters that just took on a life of his own. Andrew needed someone to handle the technical side of things, and given his actions in Recourse where he saved Andrew's life, he sort of earned it. So I needed to show how he went from where he ended in that book, to where we find him (shuffling around the residence in Canada House wearing bunny slippers and completely comfortable in Will's space as part of the family) Still need to get him a long term partner, poor guy has the WORST track record for dating in my books. (Next to Jimmy from Tales of course )
  13. The Fairmont Royal York Hotel was a towering, limestone monument to old-world opulence, sitting like a fortress directly across from Union Station on Front Street. Built in the late 1920s, its imposing, chateau-style architecture was a stark contrast to the modern glass-and-steel skyscrapers that dominated the rest of the Toronto skyline. It was a place of sweeping staircases, hand-painted ceilings, and deep, labyrinthine corridors. It was also a place with entirely too many cameras.

    Ignis likes this story. I know it isn't Thursday, but here's a short anyway
  16. The Prince and the Sorcerer The highest tower of the dread fortress of Mór-Ríoghain was currently a disaster of crushed taffeta, spilled lavender perfume, and unbridled entitlement. Princess Geneviève, a young woman whose diamond-encrusted tiara sat slightly askew from the sheer, exhausting effort of being put out, was directing a harried goblin servant with the imperiousness of a military general commanding a siege. “No, no, the emerald traveling cloak, you absolute imbecil
  17. A spoiled princess, a dragon with zero patience, and a sorcerer who just wants to read his gardening books in peace—it's a classic fairy tale setup. Until a handsome knight storms the tower, ready to fight for true love. The princess has her bags packed, the dragon is rolling his eyes, and absolutely no one is prepared for what happens next.

    Weel first you start by putting on a David Bowie record. Then you let the codpiece hypnotize you... focus on the codpiece, be one with the codpiece, let it guide your actions:
  20. The Jeep Willys was a vintage, open-air model, painted a bright, aggressively cheerful shade of canary yellow. It had likely been intended for wealthy tourists to rent for scenic, wind-in-your-hair drives along the coastal cliffs. Instead, it was currently rolling down the resort's service paths at exactly four miles per hour, serving as the mobile command center for the most highly structured, ruthlessly efficient supernatural labor dispute in recorded history. Matt sat in the drive
  21. There we go, just finished this book today. 20 chapters in total. I am already formulating one set in 1996, 2008, 2012 and 2026 (multiple time points. Focusing on Peter and Tommy the two adoptees of the family and their very specific relationship to the Carter family.) The working title is CARTER'S WARD
