    Summary

    The room is too bright.

    It’s quaint, in a nauseating sort of way. Polished floors glint from the gleaming honeycomb chandeliers overhead, make him squint. A few vases sprinkled here and there, filling the room with a sickeningly sweet scent – even a waffle-cone headrest framing the silken sheets of a neatly-tucked bed. Outside, the golden sun gleams, the gentle rays of light spilling past curtains that waver in the afternoon breeze.

    It's meant to be beautiful. Luxurious. Welcoming.

    With one sweep of his cane, Shadow Milk tears it apart.

    Summary

    “It all started with a glance.

    One glance thrown her way even before she realised that a story had already begun evolving around her.

    Before she realised her world was soon to be swept into a whirlpool of colours she had never seen before.”

    This is not a typical fic; it does not read like a continuous story.
    This is a set of memories meant to tell a story.

    I think of this as an experience. The drawings are not just complimentary - they are a part of the story. There are details hidden in the text as well as the art.
    The scenes are short, but the art says the words I don’t write.

    And to add to the experience - There is a song chosen for each chapter.

    (I recommend putting the song on repeat so it just plays one song per chapter)

    She considers. Jesper preens. Kaz threatens.

    Summary

    I'm sure given your position you already know about the advent of the General Data Protection Regulation next year, wrote Peter Lukas, to Elias Bouchard. However, the Lukas family wishes to be crystal clear that our continued investment is contingent upon the Institute taking its responsibilities with regards to privacy and confidentiality seriously.

    The Magnus Institute hires a Data Protection Officer. He sets about diligently booking in meetings, writing policy documents, and training all the staff in the importance of confidentiality. Now if only he could get hold of the Head Archivist, who seems to have vanished again...

    (Jon is only trying to save the world, but apparently some people think he should still be doing his day job.)
