Hero's Manual: Chapter 15
A/N: A very domestic chapter where Vicky and Quasi actually – gasp – get along together and work quite well as a team. Except for the vest buttons.

Hero's Manual: Chapter 14
A/N: A somewhat forced chapter, especially getting the characters to work the carpet. Hero is becoming surprisingly adept at the hero-work. The carpet insisted on being somewhat sentient. I never knew that making Huzzah have glowing purple ectoplasm would be so useful. (He bears no relation to the green slime ghost from “Ghostbusters”.) Oh, and everyone wants tea, what of it? Tea makes everything better. Just ask this thread and icon.

A/N: This was just for fun. Again, surprisingly tender moments. I had no idea when I wrote this why Hero screamed at the shadow puppet.

A/N: Huzzah was supposed to be prissy, like a peeved-off Good Omens Arizaphale. I’m a bit surprised by the magic-logic I came up with.

A/N: This was the first thing I wrote after “The Dark Closet” many, many months later. Things hadn’t been going well, which is why there’re a few moments of comfort and actual fear. Short moments, because humour is good.

A/N: Mycroft is Sherlock Holmes’s brother (coincidently, also Thursday Next’s uncle, in Jasper Fforde’s series), and Pike was a vampire in the movie-version of BtVS, (though I first got that name from Buffyworld’s actor list for their Season 8). This chapter ended on a darker note (if you take it seriously) that I’d originally intended. I couldn’t help myself from paraphrasing ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ultra_lilac, quoted in metaquotes as saying: “People should never be baked into pies, you monster! The pastry overpowers the delicate bouquet of flavours in human flesh!” Gwen’s shout of “campfire” comes to you thanks to Listener who noted the rhyme in one of her poems. *pimps*

A/N: The game of Risk comes to you thanks to evadne_noel’s Once Upon a Freakin' Time series which revolves around the Death Eaters (HP fandom). In one chapter, Voldemort makes Harry play Risk to decide who will rule the wizarding world. There’s a bunny cartoon that works on the same idea, linked to on the comments section for one of her stories.

A/N: Clyde exists because in 2002 I heard a song by Raymond Stevens called “Ahab the Arab”. It’s a very funny song with ridiculous details. And a camel named Clyde. Somewhat further influenced by TPratchett's "You Bastard" camel.

A/N: This chapter was written after the dungeon ones, and was done much less freely than most of my chapters, because I had a certain information and exchanges I had to put in. This made the chapter too long, so now I have four tea/confrontation chapters, not that I’m complaining.

A/N: One of the first scenes written, actually. Plain silly stuff. And yes, Vicky’s propositions are what you think they are. He was channeling Sidious from the Sith Academy.
