In which Sophie breaks many hearts in the process of planning a party by ToolaLoola

Summary
Alternate world where Sophie never turned old, and the flamboyant Wizard Howl has been galavanting around Market Chipping for some years now. The young ladies are no longer afraid of him, but Sophie at least is very wary, especially since every time he's around trouble is not far behind (sometimes taking the form of the witch of the waste.)
Still, she has grown somewhat fond of the wizard, but she knows more than to listen to his flowery words. She has more sense than that.
But when Sophie bites off more than she can chew by agreeing to plan the Market Chipping Winter Solstice Ball, and becomes quite by accident (by way of magic) the most wanted lady in town, Howl becomes more trouble than he's ever been before!
(Also known as: Howl has a longtime crush on Sophie, but hasn't given up being a flirt! But starts to panic once Sophie becomes super popular! Now he's trying desperately to either foil the other men's plans, or woo Sophie! And of course Sophie doesn't believe a word he says lololol)
NOTES: Howl is closer to Sophie's age in this version. Currently, Sophie is 23, and Howl is 25

Summary
"Sophie," Howl said nervously, "Are you alright? You're being very quiet. It's unsettling."
Sophie bit her lip. "I'm alright. It's just- I don't really know how to talk to you when we aren't arguing." Howl gave a snort of laughter. "No, really, Howl," She turned to face him. "It doesn't seem a promising start for- for-"
"Happily ever after?" Howl's eyes, not at all like glass marbles, held hers. "I wouldn't worry about that. I'm sure you'll be able to think of something new for us to argue about, once you apply yourself to the task."
"That's not what I-"
"Besides," Howl continued smoothly, tucking a red-gold curl behind her ear, "Talking is overrated."In which there is a lot of fluff. And bickering.

Summary
She feels like he’s peeling every layer of her being, one by one by one. And when he gets to her bones, he’ll find something she’ll never be able to run away from.
“…you,” the stranger says, his hands flexing into fists. Unclenching again. “You are…”
Gideon holds her breath. She doesn’t know why she thinks so, but it seems to her that Harrow does as well.
The corner of the man’s lips twitches up in a smile.
“You’re the spitting image of your mother.”
---
Or: what if Pyrrha rescued Gideon from the Ninth as a child?
