Christine and Raoul, after, helping each other to heal. Second person POV

The longest night of their lives - keeping Quincey alive after he's wounded in the final confrontation with the Count

The account that Mrs Harker wrote of the final encounter with Dracula left out some important details. Doctor John Seward understands OR Mina gave a highly-edited accounted of Quincey's death. There are things that Jack will never forget. (Jack Seward/Quincey Morris/Arthur Holmwood)

Night time is the worst

New Year's in Grimmauld Place

Remus doesn't sleep that night. Or the next.

If he'd known it would be the last time . . .

Sirius loved storms. Until Azkaban

It takes a long time for things to even begin to normalise between them.

Remus wishes that Sirius could have known Teddy.

His thoughts on Before don't matter now, no matter how many of them manage to possess his mind.

She knows that she can never own his heart.

His mind is a conglomeration of feelings

He doesn't speak, doesn't release any of the words building like a knot inside his chest, the tenderness and longing and, yes, love, of one sort or another.

Tonight is the night that it ends. Forces have been rallied. The slayers may think they're in the right, but it's the vampires who protect this city from so much other danger. (Sequel to The Change.)

The scotch is rich, smooth on John's tongue but biting as he swallows each sip. The sitting room seems soft, almost faded, a blur on the inconsequential details that he's so familiar with. Except for Sherlock, but Sherlock has always been far more than could possibly be explained.

(post-Pervasive Quietness, pre-The Agonising Calm Following A Battle) But surely he's still alive. Surely he'll pull through, no matter how bad he looked in the ambulance. (Wouldn't be the first time that he did the impossible.)

He strongly suspects that he's not going to survive this year, and frankly he doesn't feel bad about that.

A good fight for his life would be wonderful now, would ease some of the tension that seems to have been hanging over them the last few days.

Gus' thoughts as his death approaches.
