It’s my birthday!!!!! I haven’t been on here for very long but it still means so much to me to have so many supportive people on this site. Thank you all for being so amazing
me: I have escaped the "all my favorite characters die" trap; for all of mine are either immortal and/or always escaping death (loki), already dead when we first read them (regulus), are tortured smartass geniuses (kaz brekker/patrick jane) or just straight up didn't die (teresa lisbon/inej ghafa/mark watney). I have emerged victorious in an arena many have yet to survive.

Adorning my gryphon shelf is a beautiful sculpture of Brevin from Eyrie, made by Wolf Berry Crafts and a gift from Andi Privitere (aka Soft Paws #1 Fan) back when the series first launched.
She's looking down on me now while I do edits, making sure the plot isn't too mean to Lei, her youngest child...

Prosecutor: The prosecution calls Detective Andy Bellum.
Prosecutor: Detective Bellum, can you describe to me the conversation you had with the defendant when he was arrested?
Andy: He told me all my accusations were rubbish and incorrect. He said that Harleigh was "talking a load of crap. As usual", which raised questions about whether he had had contact with Harleigh - any contact he had was kept secret from her parents, which is an odd thing to do. He said Harleigh had called him a few times but he denied telling her lies about her birth family or asking her to hold stolen goods for him. Then he got rather heated and said: "I didn't threaten any courier with a rock". Considering all we had said was the courier was threatened with a weapon, jumping to a rock as the weapon seemed a bit of a leap.
Prosecutor: Was this what caused you to charge the defendant?
Andy: Yes - combined with Harleigh's testimony. And then later the courier picked him out of a line up. It seems pretty conclusive to me.
Prosecutor: No further questions, your honour.
Judge: Does the defence wish to cross-examine?
Defence: Yes, your honour. Detective Bellum, did my client at any point confess to this crime?
Andy: You know he didn't. He asked for a lawyer after he let slip about the rock and then you wouldn't let him say anything.
Defence: Did you find any prints on the phones? Or find a rock at the scene with prints?
Andy: No. The rock was never recovered. There were no prints on the phones and the only ones on the box belonged to Harleigh, and her sister Keturah who retrieved the box from under her bed. But that doesn't mean-
Defence: Just answer the questions, please. It seems to me, detective, that your evidence is circumstantial at best - it rests on the testimony of an eight-year-old, an unlucky guess as to the weapon, and a courier picking a man from a line up after a year, when he only saw half of his face!
Prosecution: Objection! That's not a question.
Defence: Withdrawn. No further questions, your honour.
