    Summary

    He shuts his mouth when Edwin rests a hand on his knee. So warm, too warm for a ghost. “It's alright, Charles, if you still need time.”

    He lowers himself down to his knees, kneeling comfortably, hand sliding slowly up Charles's thigh.

    “But I hope you don't mind I indulge myself while I wait?”

    -

    Edwin is hit with a potion by the incubus they're chasing down. Charles is struggling to identify what exactly the potion did, but he can tell something's different about Edwin. Only in the process of figuring it out, he finds himself a bit distracted...

    Summary

    Melanie stared down at her fine leather handbag. “I don’t want him to do something stupid. Like find a way to hurt himself. Or… maybe hurt someone else.”

    Ah. Edwin leaned forward on the desk, steepling his fingers. “I see,” he said. “In that case, you are not only looking for our help as investigators. You are also potentially in need of bounty hunters.”

    “Of course not!” Melanie exclaimed, bristling. “I’m not asking you to kidnap him at gunpoint! I just want you to find my stupid little brother before he cocks up something serious!”

    Edwin shrugged. “Semantics,” he said simply.

     

    The boys take on a case that will be very easy to solve. It will definitely not bring about any unexpected complications or zany hijinks.

    Summary

    “What is it?” Charles asks.
    “Hang on,” says Edwin. He flips rapidly through pages of his notebook. He magically extended it a while back, so the bloody thing’s got more than seven-hundred pages full of Edwin’s notes and sketches. It makes for a tense several seconds of flipping.
    When he does stop, finding the correct page and holding it open under the light, Charles’ breath catches in his throat.
    “Is this her?” Edwin asks urgently.
    Edwin’s a damn good artist, even if he insists it’s just a practical thing. He’s captured her likeness shockingly well. Lank hair, full cheeks, sullen pout. Wide, staring eyes.
    “Yeah,” Charles breathes. “That’s her. Who is she?”
    Edwin is clearly horrified. No, it’s worse than that. Edwin looks scared. Charles’ instincts all kick up into high gear, and he has to clench his fists to resist the urge to simply shove Edwin into his backpack.
    “I don’t know,” Edwin says quietly, like he’s afraid of being overheard. “But I’ve seen her.” He hesitates. “In Hell.”

    Summary

    Hob Gadling has seen a lot of things at the New Inn (née the White Horse), but even he's gotta say, a random (and probably sober) teenage girl blacking out at his touch? On a Tuesday? At 5pm? That's a new one, even for him.

    AKA how Hob Gadling's new prospective hire causes a little bit more supernatural trouble than minimum wage is worth.
