Summary
In the end, it was nothing but a coincidence, but a coincidence that would change the course of their lives as a family, even if Sergeant Fred Thursday did not know it then. At first, the call had not sounded like much.
And then, he found them.
A woman – Constance Morse, he assumed – lying on the floor; he knew from one look at her face that all hope was lost.
Which would mean that he ought to leave and call it in, but –
There was a boy, sitting by her, holding her hand. He was looking at Fred with eyes much too big and too knowing.

Summary
“What is it that you’re always writing, Peter? Seems you’re in here more and more nowadays.”
Peter’s hand stilled, leaving a dark ball of ink on the page. “Just letters. For Oxford.”
It wasn’t a lie, not really, because Hope didn’t need to know that he never sent the letters. And anyway, the only reason he never sent them was because they were never finished.

Peter spent half a decade trying and failing to compose a letter back to Morse, to thank him for that generous and utterly undeserved gift all those years ago. In the end, what brought him back was something he thought was buried for good.

Summary
Joanie had declared that it was too hot to do anything but lie around, but that was boring. And it wasn’t as if she was doing that – she’d just much rather be on her own than play with Sammy, which was unfair.

Summary
Jakes drew himself up to his full height and took a threatening step forward, one hand clutching the cigarette too tightly, and the other resting on his cutlass. If anything, this only spurred the brat on further.
"Go ahead" Morse said, gesturing at the weapon, "Let's see how well that works out for you".
He took a deep breath, tried to block out unhelpful thoughts of stormy sea eyes, and forced himself to remain somewhat calm.
"The second we reach land, you're off my ship!"
"The second we see land, I’ll swim!"Or, the one where everyone's a pirate.

Summary
It was Win who suggested it, of course. Fred himself never would have – later, he would be rather ashamed of it, but old habits died hard, and he and simply never thought of it; and furthermore, he was sure that Morse hadn’t either, although that really was far from a point in his favor, since if there was a way to make things complicated, Morse was sure to find it…

Summary
Joan, from the moment she had first entered kindergarten, had had so many friends that Fred had by now, when she had just started school, given up trying to remember them all.
Even so, she had been mentioning one more often than others.
Morse, she said he was called, and that he didn’t want to tell her his first name. That was just a reasonable precaution, really – especially since not even Fred could defend their own against certain accusations. They still did not trust strange Fae immediately, and they were Fae – so all in all, quite the clever boy. He had just moved here with his father, stepmother and baby sister and liked books and, for some reason, classical music. -

Summary
A fire alarm at the school, they said. Nothing serious – it never was, since the end of the war – but they had to pick up the children regardless.
As if Endeavour couldn’t find his own way home. He did it usually, and sometimes he even stayed out rather later, but really, it was best – so he wouldn’t disturb Gwen and Baby Joycie.
Well, he should know by now how to look after himself, so there was no reason to worry; still, he made his way to the school immediately only to be met by a rather confused teacher – what was her name again? Endeavour liked her, or so he thought, he hadn’t mentioned school in a while…
“Oh, Mr. Morse, I didn’t know – Endeavour accompanied his cousin home, as he does most days, so I thought – ”
“We don’t have any cousins” he interrupted her, all kinds of suspicions darting through his mind. One never knew – one heard a lot of stuff these days –
“Yes, Mrs. Thursday came to pick up her and DS Thursday’s daughter – what is her name again? – and of course she took Endeavour with then, you know they are as thick as thieves, let me just – “ -

Summary
The trouble, Captain Endeavor Thursday reflected was not that he had any qualms when it came to celebrating his birthday – no, those had all been done away with when he had gotten his family back; no, the trouble was that once again, those who had magic were subject to certain rules while those without magic were not.
