Reiji: “I did not plan on answering you, but if it means you will stop pestering me, then yes. I did know an Emilia.”

@reverdies (thank you!)

Fantine did not speak to this woman as often as she would like to. She had to share this attic space as best she could without drawing more attention to herself then she already hasd. It's ironic she should return to her place of birth and be received as an outsider, but snide comments are quickly resolved by replying she was born on these same streets these men and women roamed.

These cobbles and stone whispered her name, beckoned her home— how else would that man have known what to name her?

Ninon. At least they had learned each others names; well, nickname in Ninon's case, but Fantine didn't particularly care for explanations. The less they know about one another the better. It's safer that way.

Fantine had just returned from the scrivener, the letter (a little crumpled now) had been hurriedly placed beneath a pillow as she heard Ninon approach. She greeted her as blasé as she could despite thoughts being pulled toward Cosette and the ever increasing cost of her board. It would be fine. The factory paid well enough and she could work on other projects alongside... It would work out— it had to.

Ninon's comment drew Fantine abruptly from thoughts, a unconcealable panic dusting her features. What letters? Had she found those from the Thénardiers and burned them?!

"What letters?" she blurted, the fingernails of the hand rested against her pillow digging into fabric.

Please, let her be wrong. There were times Fantine thought of doing the same, but they were the only proof of Cosette's existence beyond memory alone.

hc + cooking 

Will is actually a GREAT cook, that is, if he can ever set aside enough time to actually do so? tbh, cooking a full meal for himself is not very high on his priority list when he considers all he ‘has to do’ each day, so he orders a lot of takeout or goes out to eat. 

hc + nickname

The only two nicknames Will’s ever really had stick are Will (which he prefers to William) and ‘Archer.’ His coworkers at his old firm knew him primarily as Archer and since Will’s so proud to be an Archer, he is totally ok with being called by it. 

hc + soft spot

Will has a huge soft spot for his family. As a kid, he wanted a ‘normal’ family so much that when the Archer’s adopted him, he was THRILLED. Since then, he’s had a soft spot for pretty much everyone in the family, but especially his mother. Now that he’s back in Homestead, Will spends just as much time with his mother; doing odd jobs around the house, driving her places, etc., as anything else. All that being said, Will just has a soft spot for families in general. 

hc + memories
