Summary
The Stranger hesitates, and does something Hob would not have believed possible. He stammers. “I- I do not remember. I came to and was being pursued.”
Hob notices the older man approaching, but is shocked as his voice rings out, addressing them both, “My dear boy, I am so glad we have found you.” He observes the situation warily; the only reaction from his friend is subtle, the smallest recoil.
“Who exactly are you?” Hob asks the man.
“Why, I’m Paul McGuire, and I can’t thank you enough,” the man looks at Hob’s ID badge, “Dr. Gadling, for finding my nephew.”
Hob’s eyes narrow, as he flatly asks, “Your nephew?”
***
Hob’s life is forever changed when his Stranger literally stumbles back into his life, amnestic and hunted, and he must use the skills gathered over an immortal life to evade their pursuers. They soon realize that bits of memory are coming back to Hob’s Stranger, through the power of literature. They are slower, however, to recognize that the most important story to explore may be their own.
A love letter to books, libraries, and the stories that make us, and allow us to change for the better.

Summary
“Hello, Sirius.”
The voice is quiet, barely audible over the shriek of another inmate begging for the patronus to come nearer to them and give them the same respite from the Dementor's horrors, but Sirius hears it. He knows it. The rough accent, cracked and broken resonates deeper inside of him than his own voice would. The sound of it makes him feel as though he can draw breath for the first time in what feels like forever. The voice is relief and warmth and heartbreak all wrapped together.
.
What would happen if desperate for closure, Remus paid a visit to Azkaban to seek answers to his questions? What if finding those answers sooner changed everything?

Summary
The identical gold wedding bands were worn every day by his parents, and they may have been a little dull with age, but it was nothing a little polishing couldn’t fix. The memory of being told time and again that one day the rings would be for himself and whoever he chose to spend his life with whenever he wanted them.
Took you long enough, Bucky thought to himself.
