Prebirth: Kenton and Brigit met while working at the hospital. The two were healers in different departments but often found themselves working the same shifts. A bond quickly formed soon after Brigit became a full healer. They were eventually married and Brigit ended up on maternity leave relatively quickly.
1857: Fletcher is born.
1863: At six years old, Fletcher shows his first signs of magic. When a candle is knocked over by him while playing, he extinguishes it with a burst of water. However, the smoke alerts his governess and she ends up with a face full of water as he seems unable to stop the spraying of it for a few minutes.
1867: Surprise! After over ten years without a pregnancy, the Langleys welcome a baby girl into the mix. Brigit doesn’t end up going back to work, as the pregnancy and birth took quite the toll on her, and Fletcher vows to do anything and everything he can when it comes to taking care of his sister.
1868: Only a year after welcoming his little sister into the world, Fletcher receives his letter to Hogwarts and leaves for school that fall. He is sorted into Gryffindor.
1872: Just before going back to school, Fletcher receives a letter saying he’s been made a prefect. His family is obviously proud and Fletcher couldn’t be happier himself.

1876: Fletcher becomes a full healer in the Potions and Plant Poisoning in March.
1877: When his family and sister move to Hogsmeade, he decides to rent a small flat in London so he is closer to work. It is a hard decision to make as his family is rather tight knit and he’s not quite the fan of being so far from them. After a long night of work, however, he finds a small, abandoned yorkie pup in a box down an alleyway. The healer and savior in him quickly kicks in and he rushes the tiny puppy home where he nurses it back to life. The tiny creature’s little bark reminds him of a tinkling bell and gives her her namesake of Tink. Not an overly religious man, he’s convinced Tink was left there for him to find so he wouldn’t be as lonely no longer living with his family. The two quickly become inseparable except when he is at work and even then he still runs home on his lunch and some breaks to see her.
1878: Just a year after the big rush to Hogsmeade, Abigail is off to Hogwarts. He’s there to see her off and finds himself a bit frustrated she hadn’t been born earlier so he could be there at the school with her.

1885: Abigail debuts and Fletch makes it a point to be there and at as many functions as his work schedule allows him to simply to make sure she’s treated with the utmost respect. He tries not to hover though, not want to ruin any prospects she may have.
1886: Fletcher meets a young American woman at the Wizarding World Market. She shows him around the magical menagerie in an impromptu tour and is actually quite taken with her. However, he doesn’t see her again until the Halloween Masquerade held on the Hogwarts ground. He manages to convince her to dance with him. Which..doesn’t end well and the two end up taking a tumble into the Black Lake and she leaves him even more confused after he tried taking her home.
1887: Another run in is had with Miss MacKay, though this time with a feisty diricawl who tries to steal his shoelaces. He realizes then that he quite likes the woman’s company but he doesn’t have the courage to say anything on the matter then. He finally works up the courage to speak to her about his growing feelings when he goes to congratulate her on the new exhibit she unveils in May. Once there, he sees her dancing with a gentleman and the ugly green beast named jealousy flares inside of him and he leaves without bothering to even say hello to her then. The feelings erupt something fierce once he sees her at an event on the beach at the Sanditon Resort. Tempers flare on both parts but he eventually apologizes and explains his jealous rampage. They agree to part ways for the time being to allow her some time to think over what had been said and decide what she wants to do. Eventually, she invites him over to speak with her and they agree to begin a tentative pseudo-courtship. They don’t give it a true title but begin enjoying spending a good deal of time in each other’s company whenever they can.
1888: Fletch is still working as a healer and can almost taste a promotion to Healer in Charge. He’s started spending any time not spent with Eavan at the hospital to better his chances of claiming the position. Though despite their best efforts, the courtship of sorts has been noticed and even mentioned in Witch Weekly, much to Fletcher’s annoyance.
The summer of fog is a miserable thing. He falls while on the expedition and breaks his ankle, finding himself in the Irvingly Infirmary for the remainder of the expedition. Eavan ends up with quite the wound from a crocodile. He meets her father for the first time in the hospital. It doesn't go well and, quite frankly, he acts like a pouty child and storms out. Amends are made and he sees to a fancy in home picnic in November. One thing leads to another and he ends up taking Eavan's virginity. #oops
1889: Fletch buys a ring for Eavan with every intention of proposing to her. Only problem is, he royally screws everything up when he finds a letter on her desk about a research opportunity. In America. He brings it up and it ends in a big fight. When he returns to make amends, he's informed by her colleague that she's already gone. Defeated, he leaves the ring he bought in her office and returns home to throw himself into work. 1890: Fletcher still hasn't spoke with Eavan since their fight. Any/all letters have gone unanswered. Fully defeated, he does nothing but work. Who knows what's to become of Fletch and the rest of his life.
