Author's Note: It's fanfiction for a reason, so of course I don't own it. Arakawa-sensei/Square Enix/Bones/other important people do. No pairings.
Q is for Quiet
After a rather loud Christmas celebration at Gracia and Elicia's, small celebrations to bring in the New Year were had in each one's home.
The quiet was used for reminiscing on all the events of the past three hundred and sixty-four days, the good and the bad.
The good would be the birthdays and time spent with family and friends, getting new pets, finding the one you loved returned those feelings.
The bad would be the petty things, like forgetting the candles for a birthday party and being late to important meetings that would tamper with someone's reputation of sorts.
In the quiet before the New Year, a fire burned in all the homes keeping the people as warm as love did.
