    Summary

    The morning Tim runs out of things to give, he can feel in his chest. It’s a hollowness; a feeling that if someone rapped their fist against his ribcage, he would ring like a drum. It’s a lightness; the same lightness he felt in that hot, sandy desert in Iraq when he thought he was going to die. Sometimes, everything going wrong is a comfort; at least when you hit rock bottom you know you’re done falling.

    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.
