A oneshot of a scene that I always considered to be missing from the book. Takes place immediately after the battle against the Tualaghi and after the Arulean captives are released.

When Will returns to Araleun from Skandia, he is not the same boy he was when he left, and Halt can see it plain as day. Halt longs for his old apprentice back, and knows it will take time and care before his apprentice will smile again. Hurt/comfort and light whump.

A quick oneshot where the former wardmates have what was meant to be a relaxing dinner together at Jenny's restaurant. But of course, something goes awry.

Gilan is completely, and most definitely sick. At first Halt thinks he is just exhausted. But when his apprentice begins to show symptoms of a worse sickness, what will Halt do? Will Halt and Crowley be able to cope with the sick boy? What's actually wrong with Gilan?

What would have happened if Will didn't hit the Kalkara in the 1st Book? How would that have changed book 2? WARNING: This story has a lot of Will hurt, so this is not for the faint-hearted! Please read and review this story. Currently on hold until further notice. KEEP CALM AND TRUST THE CLOAK! - potato out

Missing scene to the Burning Bridge.

Set directly after the Battle for Skandia, this is a continuation of what happens after King Duncan's banquet. Princess Cassandra/Evanlyn is upset with Will that he declined the offer to become a Royal Scout and Gilan is still harboring guilt that he abandoned Will in Celtica.

Will's time as a slave in Skandia has changed him and he finds it impossible to escape the memories and shadows of his past. A series of musings/short stories about how Skandia has affected him.

Both falling roof tiles and Kalkara's claws leave scars, and sometimes, chronic pain. The difference lies in the family that surrounds Halt in the aftermath of each incident. A gift for @littlekaracan on AO3 - one of my best and dearest friends. Merry Christmas!

Title Says All! If you've read this summary, and then read the title, then you can continue at your own risk. Otherwise, HALT!

Just a series of very short one-shots inspired my new kitten and the fact that I think Halt is a cat person!

Halt disappeared. For almost two years he was gone, kidnapped. Just recently, the rangers executed a mission to bring him home and free other prisoners. When he came back to Redmount, Will wasn't the same. Nothing was the same.

Set pre-canon when Halt is still living in Dun Kilty and Ferris isn't completely evil yet. Noticing that Halt is suffocating under the pressures of being Crown Prince, Caitlyn suggests going on a hunting trip.

Will copes with what happened in Skandia once he returns home. Lots of fluff! Halt/Pauline, Will/Alyss, and Will & Halt Parental! Rated T to be safe.
