KINGSMAN SPIES LANDOSCAR!! honestly could put oscar in as harry (looks conservative and staid upon first impression but actually has an edge) & lando as the upstart newcomer who solves problems unconventionally but effectively nonetheless.
i passed a specialist shoe shop earlier today that specialises in leathers and i think there'd be something cool about cobbler oscar who keeps a very quiet shop. he's very reserved. has mainly old clients who he keeps in a handwritten notebook. he's carrying on a cobbler tradition of like 90 years and has trained with some impressive brits and everything. and at night he's the kingsman's service artillery specialist. he just pulls out rows and rows of stuff like Q and is like. "i'd suggest that one. you need a muffler in a place like king's cross station. easy cleanup."
and lando's some rich kid from millfield who has been thrust into the service because his dad sent him as a joke 'cus he's like, you're too coddled. you need to do it before you get your trust fund.
but it turns out that with the right focus and intention lando is actually a brilliant kingsman in the making. he definitely has an eggsy moment at training academy where he has to take out a bunch of trainers using only a ballpoint pen and a textbook or something. he's the only one who figures out that the ballpoint pen has different functions upon specific clicks. one of them is a nanorazor, and another is an incapacitating poison.
and lando, a little bruised, very tired, is about to go on his first mission. he's at oscar's shop, choosing shoes and trying not to glance at oscar and his still hands and his cool demeanour.
then lando is like, "wait. you designed the pen thing earlier didn't you? that was you." and oscar gets this glimmer of a smile and a single arched eyebrow that he presses back down, and is like: "yeah. did you like it?"

Severus & Lily + growing up in Cokeworth
from my series The Darkest Days on Ao3
They giggle. Lily hands him the can. He takes a swig, then looks mournfully down at the packet of crisps, which is substantially less heavy now. “Sorry, I ate most of them already.”
“That’s alright,” Lily says unconcernedly. “Wasn’t really hungry, anyway.”
They swing, and talk about Hogwarts, and how excited they are— regretfully, Sev swipes the bag of crisps with a sticky, salty finger, trying to collect every last flavourful crumb.

“One must always be careful of books, and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us."
"It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them."

From the upcoming chapter eleven of "little boy don't you cry, cause the child in you is still alive"
The fourteen-year-old and ninth grader Tyler Kennedy Strand who goes by Tk was riding high until he was not. His life turned upside down in the course of one short week. It was the 2010 Manhattan school districts homecoming week, everything was good great then it suddenly turned into a nightmare.
Now to get away from all the pain his dad is moving him to Austin, Texas. Owen is rebuilding 126 fire-station which recently suffered a great loss, most of the firefighters lost their lives.
Chapter Eleven:
Owen is a firefighter. He is calm and collected professional. He deals with kids getting in trouble all the time and daily. He can do this for Tk. His He is a good boy, always has been. His sweet kid who has a little bit of a temper but never strays too far. However, Tk has been a little accident prone since toddlerhood and has a talented of getting himself hurt and into dangerous situations without realizing. Owen and Gwyn and Enzo are used to the antics of their boy.
Before jumping to conclusions, he tries calling the cellphone of Tk.
He is only faced with the ring and then it goes to voicemail. “Hi. It is Tk Strand. I can not talk right now. Please leave a message after the beep and I call you back as soon as I can. And have a dope day, bye.”
Now Gwyn's name appears on his caller id. “Owen, the school called. Something happened and they can’t find him. I am worried sick. Please tell me he is with you, or that you know where he is. I tried calling him, but he won’t pick up.”
