[WP] Humanity finally meets an alien species. However, it takes us both a while to realize that they were just as excited to meet us as we were to meet them. We also realize, at the same time, that they were just as nervous about their homeworld embarrassing them, since they're as 'united' as we are

[WP] "Academy Magic" is generally regarded as safe magic. "Fell Magic" is dangerous and can almost only be used for evil. "Vile Magic," meanwhile, is 'safe' but is also the magical equivalent of "don't google that, if you don't already know then you really don't want to know, I promise"

[WP] You are a medieval inn owner. One day, three strangers in odd clothing show up and begin to laugh at your establishment.

[WP] You're a spy. You and your partner always suspected that there was some deeper, hidden reason The Agency assigned the two of you together. Turns out the reason was: they thought you'd make a cute couple. They were RIGHT, and you DO make a cute couple, but still. It's the principle of the thing
