Ingress is terribly excited about the prospect of visiting Mal's world. Truth be told, Tom wouldn't mind a holiday, and he definitely would like to go once more when not in dire danger. His actions helped keep a beam from breaking, after all, and destroying that part of the future ( Read more... )

It's been rather tense in the House of Arch of late. Tom and Door are passionate people who also both happen to be stubborn and prideful. When they fight, they tend to simmer, explode, and then make up with much tenderness, so it's just a matter of time before this blows over ( Read more... )

Sometimes Tom lapses in good judgment. Full of the holiday spirit, he is lapsing quite a lot at the moment.

Tom steps through the Milliways painting, bringing his guest with him ( Read more... )

The school room in the House of Arch is a simple place. It was a classroom in a school destroyed in the Blitz. Tom found it, and chose it in particular, since it reminded him of the tall-ceilings and wooden wainscoating of his own classrooms at the orphanage. The walls have been painted a bright yellow which brightens the former white plaster up ( Read more... )

With morning's arrival, and time for the Skele-Gro to repair the damage done, Tom enters Draco's room to check on him ( Read more... )
