[This is done gracefully.

Mother arrives on vacation for a few days. She is oblivious to any suspicious circumstances of her visit, and vague on her plans. She's unable to answer any questions about where she came from or where she plans to go afterward, yet the questions do not upset her. Her presence is meant as positive, but there are no personality-altering effects to the wish, which lasts a couple weeks before mother thinks of packing up again with the vague intention to move her vacation on to the next exciting destination. The better the visit goes, the longer she is likely to stay, but eventually, she does leave.

A couple weeks is, after all, a reasonable time to have one's mother visit.

The cupid sends Stephanie a nice card clipped and glued in the old style. Eddie receives no confirmation nor further message.]

[The sunrise after Valentines, the pair are compelled to the same warehouse. It is empty inside with a pair of sofas, a coffee table and bowl of chips in between. For the entire day, they are not allowed to leave the warehouse until they have mutually agreed on issues, or until the sun goes down.]

[In accordance with Saint's request, there is the potential for one really good thing to happen in the lives of Wren, Luke, Evie, Preston, Lin, Sam, and Louis.

In addition, the umbrella of the wish is cast over any of the former residents of Vegas who are currently displaced throughout the hotel. Nothing that will hurt another. Nothing big or ostentatious. But all who are not immune to the magic will experience one good, spontaneous thing.]

[Exactly as he asked for, he gets his day with the lost Eloise. From sun up to sun down, in the flesh.]

[When Mary Jane wakes up, she is famous. She is child star grown into Oscar winner famous. She is in magazines, fashion spreads, on billboards, commercials, and played a role in 3 out of 10 of last year's top-rated movies. Mary Jane Watson is famous. She will wake up to voicemails from agents fighting for her. Her bank account is strangely the same as it had been before the wish, but now she has connections, now she has respect, and fans. People are packed outside of her apartment with posterboards that glitter and camera phones that flash in waiting. Its not a perfect wish. She's not rich, not yet strangely. She has fans, but many of them are stalkers due to her lack of security this far.]

['A Wild Day.' Knowing nothing of the term wild or how it could pertain to a modest(determined opinion) woman's desires, the Valentine does some online searching. What results is a small gift basket consisting of: the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, a DVD of Magic Mike, a $1000 gift certificate to the Bellagio(a note indicates its intended for luxury spa treatments and a hotel stay), two plane tickets to Las Vegas, and a matching pair of tickets to the Chippendales strip club. Have fun.]

[Although the conversation about the wish was extensive, the wish itself was fairly simple. Graham Ross wants his wife back. The problem comes from a conflicting wish generated by Graham's own son. Jake Ross wants his mother back for everyone, but briefly, only long enough to say a goodbye that matters to each individual person.

Lorelei Ross comes around late at night to each of them in turn. To make both of the wishes meet somewhere in the middle, she comes to each of them with no intention of staying forever. She comes to make ammends, to tell them how much she loves them, but to ultimately tell them that she can't stay. She doesn't remember dying, she doesn't know anything about that. Even so, she is automatically in place amongst her loved ones, she isn't disturbed that her son is older, or her sister, or her husband. To Lorelei, she doesn't mind the missing memories. She isn't an apparition, she's flesh and blood with a pulse. She really is back, but she doesn't want to stay. She has somewhere to go, but she won't go until the one she's visiting with is ready.

Each of the family members can spend a whole week with Lore or even just an hour, as long as it takes for Graham, Jake, and Clementine to make peace with her death. At which point, she will hug and kiss and walk out their door, back to the afterlife(or not if someone can't let go.) The longer that she is kept around however, the more agitated and insistent about leaving she will become.]

[At midnight, something goes missing out of Asgard's vault. Faust could have made something, debated making something that would offer Solas enough power to do what he needed, but the conversation with Loki cements it. And in the end, she doesn't even have to get into the vault to steal it.

The Tesseract is gone. There's enough consideration to take a containment box for it, made of wood and lined with stone so it can be handled safely. But as she does not know Solas' intentions to use it to make a portal, she does bring any of the devices that control the opening and destination of them. So sorry, Solas.

In its place, she leaves a glowing toy atop a note. It is not presumption to assume that someone wants something. Presumption comes when one assumes that they are the solution. XOXO.

As per his wish the desire demon, who's light on desire and not actually a demon, specifies that beyond Corypheus, the Tesseract's power cannot be used to harm anyone. [She doesn't trust you; don't take it personally, Solas.]

The aged wooden box holding the cube is there next to his head when he wakes up in the morning, along with a small note.

Happy Valentine's Day, Coyote.

- Faust.]

[In addition to Hal's sexy influence on Gotham, his granted wish also pertains to Marvel.

Door-wide, the citizens living in the Marvel door are experiencing a sudden and drastic lowering of sexual inhibitions, lasting for two weeks. Insert cheesy porn music here, bow chicka wow-wow. Nothing non-consensual or illegal will result from this state, and Marvelites may find themselves immune to the magic's effects for various reasons, but for the rest? Time to get it on~, winky face emoji style.

Crime and work attendance is down, condom sales are up, but don't be surprised if New York still experiences a baby boom in nine months' time. Thanks, Hal!]

[He really tries. He can't help the feeling that he could be friends with Hels, maybe, and he wants to grant her wish to the best of his ability. Fortunately, she's obviously no newbie to the hotel's particular brand of magic, and everything has been laid out pretty freaking clear for him.

Come Valentine's Day, the minds and memories of Bruce Wayne, Selina Kyle, Dick Grayson and Jason Todd have been wiped clean of all things Helena Wayne. Journal entries and birthday cards, old scars, everything down to the last wayward hair elastic forgotten on a bathroom counter have vanished without so much as a twinge of pain or absence. It will be as if she never existed. Her belongings in Wayne Manor are transferred to her apartment in Tokyo, the aforementioned gag orders are in place for any big mouths in Gotham who might be tempted to bring her up in conversation. Helena alone holds the power to reverse the wish wholesale, by reciting the lines from Goethe's Faust.

However, there remains the smallest possibility that any of the above may be able to regain their memories independently of Hels' wishes, should they want it bad enough.

As for Poughkeepsie? He will remember, too.]

[Locked to Seven M]

Are...

Are you there?

Can I call?

[After receiving this.]

You're not gonna fucking believe this.

[A great deal of thought and care has gone into granting your heart's desire, Liam. Your cupid bears little trust in the hotel and its magic, and he doesn't want to fuck this up.

Saturday morning, Liam awakens with all of his memories of Seven Morgan restored in full, glorious, 4k ultra-mega-high-def resolution. The good along with the bad; love and anger and pain alike, all of the memories from their very first conversation on the journals up to present day have returned. There is the first time that they met in Vegas. The first time that Seven took him home. The first time that Seven picked him up from rehab. Every kiss, every fight, every flicker of emotion that has passed between them - even the small moments that would have otherwise been forgotten thanks to the fallibility of the human memory. Liam insisted that it would not be fair if he didn't remember it all, and so it's all there, as requested.

But cupid also decided that it was necessary to get a little creative. The sudden, violent flux from blank slate to remembering, though understandably overwhelming at first, will not break Liam's mind. It will not destroy him, despite his fragile state. For as long as he holds onto the memories of Seven Morgan, so too will he possess the ability to process them emotionally and rationally.

The permanence of this wish's granting remains entirely up to Liam.

Along with the wish, a small, typewritten note is delivered:

I still think you're brave. Happy Valentine's Day.]

[At precisely 12:01 on Valentine's Day, a thin band of metal appears without fanfare on Micah C's left ankle. It lays flat against the skin and fits him perfectly, just tight enough to render removal impossible. There are no apparent seams or joints to be manipulated with tools, and attempts to remove the device by magical means are equally ineffective. Contained within the metal casing of the bracelet is a computerized tracking device that constantly pings a one-way signal.

At the same time, a small and unobtrusive icon appears on the home screen of Louis' phone. It is a simple black 'M' in block letter form against a white square background, and when pressed opens a spartan app that has clearly been designed for function over aesthetic appeal. There is just one feature: a highly-detailed map with a red, blinking light that indicates the current whereabouts of Micah Callaghan. There is no trickery, despite any efforts on the hotel's part to the contrary - it is the one and only Micah Callaghan that Louis intended with his wish, and the location updates in real time. Listed below the map are any relevant addresses, cross streets, GPS coordinates, and even information about Micah's current inhabited door.

The app will continue to beam Micah's location (accurate to within half a dozen yards, and unaffected by any distance between the two men) for a period of two weeks, after which the bracelet and app will vanish simultaneously.

Watch your back, Micah.]

[Delivered to Destiny the evening of Valentine's Day is a gigantic basket that's probably far too heavy to carry but filled with a bunch of random treats. Included in the list of treats is about five different bags and kinds of Cheese Puffs (per request), an assortment of sweets and chocolate, popcorn and added as a bonus are two magical tickets to any movie in any world that will be able to be redeemed once at the theater. There's a note added to this basket, that simply says:

"I hope that this basket can bring you satisfaction rather than disappointment." -Your Valentine Anon

[Before learning about the tree-thing.]

Well, anonymous Valentine person, I have to say you did well. I'm quite fond of the changes, even if they weren't quite what I was expecting. I must say, this certainly gives a new perspective on things.

And Sam, wherever you are, I do hope your day is treating you well. It looks like you got lucky this year.

[The wish granter isn’t used to magic, not like this, but they tried their very best. What started out in talks as an amulet actually ends up as a simple ring. A mood ring to be exact. Once put on, it shrinks to fit Zatanna’s finger and when pulled off it retains the size. One size fits Zatanna, and all that.

The ring is a protection ring, but it won’t last forever. As the attacks on Zatanna happen, the ring is drained a little more each time, the color shifting on the mood ring to show that the magic is being used. It starts at blue and will shift to the next color as magic is being used. When it’s completely drained it turns black and will slide off her finger immediately.

Small attacks take a small amount of magic, and the transition is slow. Bigger ones can shift the color more immediately into the next. An attack that would kill her near instantly (direct attack to the heart, decapitation, puncturing of lungs) will use up the rest of the ring’s power immediately, saving her life and the stone fading to black.]

[One wish for Daniel W to be free of alcoholism. Sounds easy enough. Just like that, Lin A gets his wish. Daniel W is free of the addiction.

Wishes, however, aren’t as easy as they sound.

Vices such as Daniel’s run deep. They shape him and his whole life and removing it removes very critical parts of him. So Daniel W awakes and is Daniel W mostly in name, all traces of his personality wiped clean. His history remains in tact as much as it can, but Lin A wished for that past to be gone, and remembering is murky. It might take some effort.

The magic isn’t good enough to last forever, but it will run until the end of the month. Who knows if Lin A will want it to remain so. But if he should want his old Daniel W back sooner, he can get him.

The answer is simple, and lies at the bottom of bottles. Restore the addiction, restore the man.]

[locked to bloody anon]

[Once notice of the money comes through.]

Alright. Maybe I was a little too suspicious for my own good.

[locked to gwen s]

You guessed my size. Is this a special skill of yours you never told me about?

[public]

If I see one more rich kid mow down a little old lady because he doesn't know red means stop, I'm going to shoot the tires out on every lambo I spot.

[The blueprints did help, and the gift is far better than what Valentina would have otherwise given. One Stellar class spaceport on Yavin 4, coming right up!

Obi-Wan is alerted to its existence on Valentine’s Day morning, wherever he is. It’s as if it always had been in the works to exist and suddenly it’s ready for a grand opening. It’s fully stocked, as requested, at a prime location, and absolutely perfect. Unfortunately it’s not fully staffed. Oops. Someone will have to put a help wanted sign somewhere. ]
