Fics like Ties and Tribulations

Erik rubbed a hand over his face in frustration, starting attempt number forty two of tying the tie when a voice spoke up from behind him. “Do you need help?” Erik spun around to see a kind faced, motherly looking woman in a green dress standing at the entrance of the hallway. Erik didn’t recognize her, which was surprising. Obviously this woman was here for the parents day and Erik was reasonably sure he knew every Swedish elite who was rich enough to send their kid to Hilerska. More surprising than that was the fact that she didn’t seem to recognize him either, or if she did she didn’t seem to care- not about his title or his status or his money. Erik eyed her with trepidation- his mother had taught him from a young age to expect the worst from everyone- but there was nothing cold in her warm gaze, nothing mocking, nothing that made Erik think she wanted something. Somehow, Erik could tell that this woman was just kind. Here she was, offering help to a stranger simply because he looked like he needed it. “I would yes, if you wouldn’t mind, Ms…” “Linda,” the woman said, waving away the title.
