    Summary

    They say if you put a frog in a pot of water, and slowly turn up the heat, it won't try to escape. Even as it boils to death.
    A shame White Hat never heard this saying. Maybe he would have noticed he was boiling if he had.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This is not fanfiction. This is what fanfiction aspires to be in the best of worlds.

    Summary

    It occurs to him that making deals with strange elves you find in mirrors is not a particularly wise thing to do, but then, Callum has never been very wise. What he has always been, is kind, and when he thinks of what it must be like to be trapped in a mirror, secreted away in a dusty tower with nothing but other dusty forgotten things for company, he thinks it must be very lonely.

    All the Elf wants is someone to talk to. Is it so wrong of him to reach out?

    (And perhaps, it's true, that curiousity killed the cat - but if satisfaction can bring it back, then Callum is going to find out firsthand)

    Summary

    Peter cut in with his hands raised, placating, “We’re here because –”

    “You’re in mortal danger,” Noir said.

    “-we have something to...tell…you – okay well, I was going to be a little less blunt about it, but I suppose that’s-”

    “The truth!” Ham said with vigor.

    (Miles doesn't know who or what Venom is, but according to his friends he's about to find out.)
