    Summary

    Reed let out a laugh. “So that was genuine, back there? You’re stuck doing everything I say?”
    Connor slowly shut his eyes.
    "No, this will be good for you! It'll be character building," Reed laughed, "Not a word of this to the old man."
    ~

However, something changes and Connor finds himself compelled to obey everything Reed tells him to do. With Reed finally getting his petty revenge on Connor for merely existing, Connor tries to make Hank aware of the nightmare he's stuck in.

    Hank doesn't believe in second chances. Not in regards to life, the death of his son was proof of that. But then Connor comes barreling into his life. And changes everything.

     

    Or.

    Hank gets a second chance at being a father.
    Connor gets the chance to understand what it means to be a son for the first time, and what it means to be a part of a family.
    A real family.

    Summary

    Ballister had long given up on his childhood dream of becoming a knight and was content with being the beloved "library uncle" in his community.

    Sure, there were a few times where he'd had to fight off a few scoundrels who were after a poor soul looking for refuge in his library, and yeah he'd done his fair share of reporting small and sometimes big time crimes to the knights.

    Only none of those times involved the direct descendant of Gloreth.

    Or the person he rescued gushing about Ballister's own fighting prowess.

    It was just filing a report, he wouldn't see the golden armored knight again....would he?

    Summary

    With their Queen deceased, no heirs, their Director terminated, three-quarters of their holy protectors retired, and their walls gone, the kingdom had called upon the scion of Gloreth to lead the way.

    -

    “The Director lied to you, Ambrosius. She used you and she hurt you. None of that is your fault. Why can’t you see that?”

    Ballister reached out his hand, freezing when Ambrosius recoiled.

    “I guess I’m just not as forgiving as you are, Bal.”
