Somehow missed this in my inbox before, Dan. But I saw it just now and have read it and enjoyed it very much. There be power in the words by Grimbauld, and it's a moving moment at the end. A really moving moment, especially with the pacing of the lines.
“I learned from someone a long time ago that you need strength to win a war, but courage to keep the peace. This is the courage I ask from you now. Let me stop the suffering.” <--love this!
That’s so kind of you and I’m really glad you liked it 🙂
I guess I’m just trying to build a fully rounded character who is a great warrior but has no love of war. Next time things should be a bit lighter though. He’s still getting involved in all kinds of scrapes but at least he might get some romance in his life as well 😁

A bit of Shylock (Merchant of Venice) coming through here in this bit, at least I was reminded of it. "Do they not bleed like we do?"
Thanks Alexander. I’ll take that as you comparing me to Shakespeare so that’ll do 😁
Exactly that. :) Hope you're having a great Sunday!
Over in Sicily at the moment so having a great weekend 👍🏼
Hope you’re having a good one too, Alexander 🙂
Awesome! Enjoy the vacay! Hope to watch some Shogun later. Tinkering with WED post atm.
Thanks Alexander 😃
Good luck with your post. Looking forward to it 👍🏼
I wrote the first part of the next Grimbauld story this morning at 5am waiting for everyone else to wake up 😴🙄😁
Ah, the quiet time. Excellent going! I am still in the research phase. Pen to paper later. Thanks!
“flapping, clucking wastrels…” 😂
Glad you liked that line, Daniel 😁
