    Summary

    Anthony J. Crowley, retired astrophysicist and author of exactly one (1) failed book, is having a terrible Tuesday. His community centre lecture, with an audience of sleeping retirees, a knitting circle, and a man named Jim, doesn't go to plan.

    ​Fortunately, Asa Fell, endlessly patient, is sitting in the front row. Asa knows exactly how to handle a tough crowd. More importantly, he knows exactly how to handle a highly strung, self-deprecating former academic who is currently spiraling into a scotch-fueled existential crisis.

    Summary

    Ever chivalrous, while tagging along on his best friends’ honeymoon, Sirius decides to cart himself off to northern Germany and offer them a few days of complete privacy. While away, though, late at night in a bar on the edge of Eutin, he hears of an old oak tree with a knothole for a letterbox. An old oak tree storied to bring soulmates together.

    And, well...six ill-considered glasses of wine later find Sirius face to face with the Bridegroom’s Oak, climbing its ladder to poke a tipsily-composed mess of a letter through the hole. Call it a whim. Call it a momentary lapse in judgement. Call it a drunken tale to be forgotten about come morning.

    And forget about it, he does.

    Or, at least, he does until six weeks on, back home in London, when he receives a letter in reply.

    Summary

    Winter in the National Health Service is not for the faint-hearted. And every November, Dr. Remus Lupin throws himself into it with all the enthusiasm of a person who is not chronically ill, and works overtime like he doesn't need to be careful with the body that his long-suffering husband, Dr. Sirius Black, loves so, so much.

    Or: Dr. Remus Lupin and his Terrible Coping Strategies vs. The Unshakeable Love of Dr. Sirius Black & Friends.
