Erik Lehnsherr warns him not to get attached. Porcelain breaks. But as the world shifts around them, Charles and Erik begin to build something fragile and beautiful-a strange little family on the edge of a war they never asked for. And maybe... porcelain isn't as fragile as it seems.

Charles Xavier was never meant to be a father, but when the CIA entrusts him with a fragile, frightened little girl named Charlotte, he swears to protect her. Small and quiet, with storm-grey eyes that hide a world of fear, Charlotte clings to Charles as her only safe harbour. In a world too cruel to understand her, he is her shelter, her constant. But fragility is not freedom. As the years pass after Cuba, their bond grows suffocating. Charlotte needs him, and Charles needs to be needed. She doesn't leave him like the others did. She cannot. She will not. She is his constant, his reason, his refuge. But safety is fragile-like glass, it can crack. When Erik Lehnsherr unfortunately returns, he finds a terrified child, too afraid to look him in the eye, too devoted to Charles to question the world he has built around her. Charlotte has become a ghost, hidden in the shadow of a man who cannot bear to lose her. And Erik? Erik intends to shatter the glass.

Faye Scamander was never dangerous. She was the girl who handed out biscuits like blessings, chatted with portraits, rescued injured creatures, and left wildflowers on desks simply because it felt kind. And somehow, Draco Malfoy noticed her anyway. Draco had been raised in a castle of cold rules and colder expectations. Faye had grown up in a cottage overflowing with warmth and wonder. He had been taught that softness was weakness. She had been raised to believe that softness saved people. They should have stayed worlds apart. Instead, they kept colliding-his armour against her gentleness, his silence against her small-magic courage. And somewhere between a flower she gave him, a biscuit he pretended not to want, and the moments they lingered without meaning to- everything shifted. Because some spells were loud and destructive. But the ones that changed a life? They were always the small things no one saw coming
