A/N: So, this is going to be a collection of drabbles (or headcanons or whatever you want to call them) that I've written and posted on my SOUE Facebook page. I've gotten some positive response to them so I figured I might as well post them here. They'll involve various characters and pairings (maybe, I tend to stick to Lemony/Beatrice. We'll see if that changes).
Title: Epitaph For My Heart
Character(s): Lemony Snicket

He knelt in front of the tombstone, oblivious to the rain pouring down on him.
Beatrice Amelia Baudelaire.
"Loving mother and wife"
Loving mother and wife. He scoffed. She was so much more than that. It couldn't be expressed in one line on a tombstone.
He knew he shouldn't be out in the open like this. Any one of his enemies could see him and kill him. Oftentimes, he thought about simply letting them find him. Beatrice was dead. What else did he have to live for?
Loving mother. His eyes scanned the tombstone. Two words. Two words that reminded him why he was still alive. Her children. He had done the math. Violet was his. But he would love and care for each of those children as though they were his own—once he found them.
He ran his fingers over those words, sighed, then stood up. After a quick scan of his surroundings, he was off. Off to the next safe location as he did his ongoing research on the Baudelaire orphans.
