And, here's the Magic AU I promised! Again, I suggest checking the AO3 tags.

The signs exist for miles, some within arm's reach of the castle walls, but the actual house is on the outskirts of the castle city. Follow the elegantly lettered signs down through the main square and past the clustered housing developments and one can find themselves on the road to the witch's house.

Simply called the "house down the road' when giving directions, it's surrounded by a sprawling garden and backed by the forest. A river runs a short jog from the house and what looks to be a lifetime's supply of firewood is stacked up along the wall. It's a two level house, the main floor is home to a shop while the second floor contains two bedrooms and an office. The front windows are a conglomerate of stained glass shards in dark and light blue, green, yellow, purple, and dark pink.

A pretty wooden sign sits just outside the house, lettered in bright pink, with light blue designs around the edge it reads, "The Miracle Shop".

Inside is another story entirely. Neatly organized shelves hold brightly colored bags full of specialized concoctions, bubble glass bottles line table tops, while a seemingly endless amount of charms and trinkets hang from the ceiling. Ceramic bowls sit in random places, each filled with a different kind of spelled item; lucky stones in one, mood enhancing necklaces, even rings that dispel minor sickness. The colored windows throw rainbows about the room, making everything shine and shimmer. The small counter further in holds scales and measuring scoops, as well as display boxes of talismans and spells. Enchanted tapestries hang on the walls, the very air is sated with magic.

The shop's claim to fame is the witch who runs it, as well as the knight who works with her.

The witch has had success across the kingdom, it's said her magic stretches far beyond commercial shop items, but no one can, or will, attest to the fact. She's a nice young lady, all smiles around customers, but a stern expression to unruly ruffians who start trouble in her shop. She specializes in emotional magic, and her most sought after service is matchmaking. She's the only Matchmaker west of the mountains, and the only one who's never had an instance of failure in the field of love.

There are many theories as to how she works her magic, even those she sets up aren't entirely sure. Some say that she can see fate strings, and others say she can see the future. But she gives away nothing.

Even if she weren't so successful, the customer flow would still be high. The shop is the unofficial meeting place for the Baron and his best knights. Granted, they don't come by as often anymore, but there was a time when one could walk into the store on any given day and see the famous fighters of their kingdom.

The knights are often away, and the Baron is usually with them, leaving a duo composed of a retired captain and a medical genius with the rank of a general in charge in his stead. They are revered well enough, but everyone knows that the Baron holds sole power.

Regardless, the Miracle Shop and its witch prosper.

Super points to whoever guesses who the retired captain and general ranked doctor are.
