Can't disagree here Honestly, that thought crossed my mind too. But if you ask him now, he would say no to kids.

❤️ Dust and the witches... For the Watermill Coven he's basically part of the "family", but they also see him as prestige object - a point which makes them "better" than the Castle Coven (the other one located in Quincefield). But Dust - or rather the MID - sometimes needs backup too. And let's be honest: there was 100% one witch or another who tried to get to him. Their kids could have been phenomenal... Yes, yes and yes. Easy: a boyfriend 🤷‍♂️ Happy next chapter 😘

~The Cursebreaker~ Vee brought me up to date while Warren first organized coffee and then we sipped it and discussed. There were a lot of question marks, but admittedly I wasn't surprised. Police work was not a child's puzzle. I eventually took the empty cups back to the break room and washed them out, and when I returned, Officer Lopez was escorting Maggie Moon to the office. Maggie Moon, representing the Watermill Coven, was dressed as so often in a pantsuit, today i

Enough to have him taken away by force after the second incident and placed in/sold to Harlaney House. I'm not sure whether he will tell in this story, I should probably put a note in my notes for that or at least check whether it would fit, cause Remy and Flavius will have a not so nice talk about the Sinclair-situation later on. (In the mentioned story Flavius is once more a side character and does tell about said connection.) Partially yes. Remy will later on tell a "public" version of events and to Marc the whole truth. One of the many ugly stories of his life... *ominous voice*

In this society, women are encouraged to have children early on and many of them. They have a good support system, including early day-care for children. Flavius' mother had her own father as strongest/closest support and wasn't prepared to take care of her son after her father died. He was thirteen, there would have been options like job-preparing classes and the like, she could have simply sold him, but she was too deep engrossed in her own life. We will hear more about Remy's dream, triggered by seeing Gabrielle Sinclair. She and the case of Leona Asquith were mentioned already in Dante's story and the topic will come up again, and we will hear was Remy knows. (Not to mention this is the connecting point to the timeline-wise next story in this universe.)

"Remy?" Remy turned and saw Marc standing in the kitchen doorway. The other slave nodded toward the hallway, and since Remy could spare a moment, he followed him. "Hey..." the greeting, along with the lowered gaze, seemed almost ridiculously shy. "I'm going to finish up a few little things and then... and then go to bed." The last words were barely audible. "Okay." Remy smiled weakly and nodded, but before he could say more, Marc murmured: "Can I grab one of your books?"

@centexhairysub There are a lot of questionmarks, let's hope we can clear some up soon. As for the parents: maybe they didn't want to say more in front of the other? They could well try to hide something from the other. Didn't appear to be the deep-in-love-honeymoon-stage for them... Next chapter we meet some witches with Dust and I promise you the one or the other "spicy" thing...

~The Lawyer~ After only a few months, I still didn't really know my way around Quincefield, but Grandpa had said at lunch the Bells lived in a good neighborhood. However, looking at the wild mix of freshly renovated and shabby facades of the tall apartment buildings in this street, I couldn't agree with him. The house where the Bells had their apartment was a dreary beige, but the balconies facing the street were decorated with a brightly colored mosaic pattern. The buildi

@centexhairysub I can't say I disagree. You are absolutely right on those worries.

The annoying sound of the mixer faded, but in Dante's ears it continued to hum. "-and as we do every time at the end of the year, we have summarized all the changes that will take effect on 1st Gianna 30-72 on our website. Yesterday we already talked about the price increases in public transportation, today we're dealing with the changes for all the museums in the country. As stated some time ago-" "Great Mother, do we seriously have to listen to these pseudo-political discussions?" TJ

Of course the twist could be she simply shows up "oh I heard you're looking for me, why's that?" Depending on how long the talkings with the parents will be, Dust will join in already in the second chapter, otherwise in the third.

~The Detective~ A satisfied smile crept onto my lips as I closed the case file, stuck a “Case Closed” post-it note on it, and set it aside to take to Staff Sergeant Winter later. Harry wiped the notes from that very case off the whiteboard, his movements almost meditative, as if he wanted to put away the mental file at the same time. At least until we had to testify about the case in court. The thought made my smile disappear. “What about our statements for the Peterson case?

Kate Bell got reported missing. While Violet and Dust try to find the young witch, Nathan gets hired by the parents to "control the narrative". The Bell family is old politic - and full of drama, scandal and more? Or is something brewing within the secretive coven? Well, that the non-existent bell in the old Monk Tower starts ringing surely looks like a bad omen...

Something that always seems to come strong in my stories (or at especially in this univers) is duty. Duty and Family. And out of this sense, Alice would go with him, before others - like her mother - start to put pressure on her. Matthew loves her, since many years, and neglected his duty towards his family because of this. Sarah wants mostly her best friend/old crush to be happy and does not care that much if marrying him would make Alice happy. Love is traditionally not an important thing in this society, not even here in the north, were traditions are a bit different. But you are right, the probability that both Alice and Matthew end up happy in this is not exactly high...

She loved the winter. The air, the light, the sounds - everything was different, more beautiful, clearer. Sebastian seemed to feel it, too, because after a little crying fit, he was now quite calm, sucking peacefully on his pacifier and gurgling softly now and then. Or, quite pragmatically, maybe it was simply the fact that she was carrying him around in a wrap. The snow crunched under her boots, the wood of the porch creaked, and while she was still knocking the snow off her shoes, the doo

Do we need to repeat the part about the bees and the flowers? Because we have two bees here... Though actually, the mix of dragon and unicorn could either be incredibly good or terrifying. Like, a unicorn covered in scales spitting fireballs? Or a huge fluffy dragon with an impressive mane?

Finley has the will to be honest, communicating is just not his forte. Emmett on the other hands needs to be more open and trusting and listening to his feelings. I have honestly not thought that much about how interspecies breeding works in this world. But, do we need to think about it? Those are two boys and I absolute hate mpreg, so that's not an option.

A doorless passageway led from the large main room into a kind of hallway with four doors leading off it. One of them—the first on the left—was slightly open, so I took a look inside first. Sure enough, it was the bathroom. The first things that caught my eye were the toilet, sink, and shower tray in dark pine green. The fixtures shimmered in a golden hue, and I was briefly confused because even the shower seemed to be covered in wood, until I realized it was simply wood-effect tiles. Sin

You mean like the Horners selling the farm? That will come up in a way later as well...

That plus giving in to the pressure of some other people. (Though more on that one later...) Whether she could save the farm with her earnings from writing? Doubtful, honestly. Alice is not one to put herself in the middle of attention, definitely not. The position within the family she has right now is perfect: no one cares what she does, because she is neither heir nor spare. On the other hand, of course, this puts her in the perfect position to be "married off", which is somewhat expected of her to follow through with. But she doesn't want to be matriarch. Maggie became the Horner Matriarch, because there is no other woman, but normally the first requirement to be one is to be a mother, best of a daughter. So if Alice and Matthew marry, Maggie will stay matriarch till the two have a kid. And even than she could fight giving up the position if it's a boy, because Alice is not a born Horner.

Alice slid out of bed and shivered. From a doctor's point of view, the cool temperatures in the house might be ideal for sleeping, but it was too cold to live comfortably. She slipped on thick socks over the pair she was already wearing, pulled on a sweater over the heavy flanell pajamas and shivered again. At the door, she paused briefly and looked back at the bed - Maggie was asleep, breathing deeply and calmly - before stepping out into the hallway. The house was dark and quiet, asleep like

everyone stay clear of the blast radius... ❤️

There are a lot of things Dante never had the chance/opportunity or reason to think about. Some of which become "important" now, some maybe later. But given the situation, yes, he should think about some stuff. Puberty is never linear and his special development will definitley not be linear either. I especially love this second sentence of yours, so true and important. Dante is a slave and and there is at least for me a big question mark behind the "does Frank fully understand the "master"/slave situation". And given how he said a while back Dante reminds him of his lost brother... I am not sure if there is someone around, who could give Henry in this overall situation fully what he needs. Dante is emotionally close to him, he's a safe person, but he doesn't have answers. And the people who would have answers are not close enough to ask those kind of questions... My notes are not exactly precise for that period to be honest (frustrating, how could I), but it should be 10 or 11 days between sex in Denser's Port and the last scene with Frank now. (The next chapter would be the 30th of December, Sarah's birthday.)

Either Dante and Frank were late or the work slaves were early, or both, because as they left the house for the afternoon shift, a discussion sounded behind them moments later. "You can't leave that stuff standing around dirty," he heard Kellen say. "Sorry about having to take care of the stupid horses since TJ's too good to do it," Liam grumbled, half drowned out by Sawyer's protest, "It's not the horses' fault." "Why don't you shut up, Sawyer, that would help all of us," To
