When Adelaide first came to New York City, she couch surfed - going from strangers' home to strangers' home. When she played her first gig at Thackery's, and Will asked her afterwards where she was staying, he was horrified. He immediately offered his home as a place she could crash. Permanently. As Adelaide puts it, they haven't officially fucked yet, but in her mind it's just a matter of time. Of course, this didn't last. And they began dating in 1968, marrying the next year.

Shared Secrets
- Will has ptsd from Korea and experiences flashbacks that can get pretty violent/bad. Typically brought on by nightmares, or cars backfiring. Adelaide has witnessed and worked through many of these over the 6+ years she’s been living with Will, and they are the biggest reason for his reticence to take their relationship any further; he’s terrified of hurting her when waking up during an episode. The first time he experienced this, it was all she could do to convince him to let her stay and that she wasn’t afraid of him.

Will did not know of Tamerlane's existence, though the vampire definitely knew of his. A friend and lover of Will's close friend Danny Rose, Tamerlane kept an eye on Danny and his life for several years (unable to remain close due to the increasingly important matters both had to attend to in their own worlds and the damage that Tamerlane's very presence could do to Danny). After Danny's death, Tamerlane began a watchful guardianship over Danny's daughter, Ocean Rose. Will adopted Ocean, and was unaware of this psychic guardianship over his daughter for two years before Tamerlane revealed himself. He was openly distrustful of the vampire when they met, but due to Tamerlane's clear affection for the Rose family and Tamerlane's help with Lhandren, he has grown to trust Tamerlane more.

Tammy, a nickname given to Tamerlane by Ocean.
History
Alice de Vries was the girlfriend of Jennifer Lyons when Will and her first met. She was soon Enchanted by Jennifer and fell in love with the Changeling world and approached Will's wife, Adelaide Peters, to be permanently Enchanted, which Addy agreed to. She worked for several years with Will and Addy as an on-call babysitter for them, even quitting her job to be more present for the children, but became increasingly disenchanted (in the emotional sense) that she would always be set apart from the fae that she had become friends with. When she admitted that she was frustrated with the fact that she was unable to fully enter the Changeling world and that she felt that she had given up her life for something that she could never be a part of, Will was offended. He felt that she was accusing the motley of using her as nothing but a babysitter and looking down on her for being human. He is cordial, but very surface level with her now, and will no longer allow her to babysit Ocean Rose or Daniel Thackery. He would have nothing to do with her if she wasn't dating Jennifer. He has been honest with his feelings regarding Alice. Jennifer is family, and Will knows that to be mean to Alice will only drive Jennifer away so he tries to stay more out of the way when she's around so she isn't uncomfortable.
