Summary
It's been a rough decade for Shawshank State Penitentiary, and the last thing the prison needs is an escaped convict. But, when Shelby Firmin turns up missing and the killings he was convicted of start again, it seems that's the only thing that could have happened, despite Firmin's long-time protests that, while he wasn't innocent of all charges, he was not a serial killer.
In the background, Shadow goes in for surgery, and Chaz waits for proof he's all right.

Summary
Reid is on stress leave. He and Langly have been strongly encouraged to house-sit an extravagant lakeside cabin owned by one of Prentiss's friends. Nothing but trees and fishermen for miles in any direction, except for the decaying remains of a long-abandoned artists' colony on one hill. Privacy, fresh air, and all the amenities of an expensive hotel. What could possibly go wrong?
Everything.

Vexation of Spirit by Redcodah, Ywain Penbrydd (penbrydd)

23 Nov 2024
Summary
It all starts with hostages and bombs. Garcia needs another set of hands, and she reaches out to a hacker she used to know -- the best of the best, at the time -- sending Reid to do the negotiating for her. Before the case is over, Reid finds himself caught up in a whirlwind sex farce that might be a blossoming romance. Mayhem, chair sex, hallucinatory exhaustion, and an awful lot of ridiculous accidents follow, because what purpose does genius serve, if not an excuse to ignore common sense?

Summary
In the Ancient Age, around -1600, the Neromenians found a new god, and with this god came the power to sink entire cities into the earth. The Inghirsh had held them off this long, sending back 'ten thousand spearmen' on their shields. But, their new god promised them victory at last.
Eight or ten years after Inquisition (somewhere in the vicinity of 9:50 Dragon), Kinnon finally goes back to investigate the ancient city beneath the Silent Plains. The spirits trapped beneath the earth are fearful and angry, but they're slowly fading away, memories lost to the passage of time, however intact the city might be. It takes the aid of two magisters to get permission to dig, and the ground still bears the Taint across the Plains, where Dumat fell, but Kinnon is intent on uncovering the past.

Summary
"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." -- Rabbi Richard Pustelniak
This holiday season, Vexation of Spirit brings you family bullshit, with a side of murder and malfeasance.
A strange system failure at Idlewood is preventing access to parts of patient and employee records, and it falls to Langly and Kim to figure out what's happening and how to fix it, before the missing information gets someone killed. Chaz's first hint something is wrong comes when Shadow's treatment fails to match the neurologist's orders.
Reid and Alvez take on a twenty-year-old case in which the killer proudly admits to eleven murders, but has always held that two more were someone else's kills. A twentieth anniversary interview with a victim's sister reveals the last two deaths were a gay couple who didn't live together, and both came from intolerant families. Were one or both of the families involved in their deaths, or are they just as much a distraction as the other killer?
And Reid gets more people knocking on his door in two days than in most of the preceding decade.
