Summary
It’s right about when Edwin pulls the last bit of skin together and Charles screams that Edwin thinks please, God, Despair, Death, whoever is there, whoever cares, let me take his pain, I’d take all of his pain to never have him hurt again.
(Edwin casts a protection spell on Charles, and breaks his trust in the process, because magic always comes with a price.)

Summary
Psychomanteum, noun. A dimly-lit room containing a comfortable chair and a mirror angled so that it reflects only darkness, intended to communicate with spirits of the dead.
It is our privilege to welcome you back, one and all, for the Summer 2024 season at the London Athenaeum. As some of you will no doubt be aware, this past winter saw a spate of minor thefts, with one enterprising thief successfully removing a marble bust of the goddess Carpundia. We are pleased to report that the probate court proceedings are now complete, and all of the stolen artifacts have been returned to us. For safety reasons, we must now ask that all rosaries, japa mala, ojuzu, komboskini, misbaha and other similar prayer beads are left at the door and collected upon exit on account of one of our new acquisitions, a devil vitrified in a prism of glass, and the multiple recent incidents of attempted strangulation.
We are proud to present a slate of all new exhibitions and events, including the crown jewel of this season: an exhibition on the 170 year history of the Athenaeum itself by acting head curator Edwin Payne. This is the distillation of an extraordinary life’s work, and one not to be missed.

Summary
“Who do we have the pleasure of speaking with?” Edwin asked, formal as ever, even when addressing a woodland creature in a magical clearing.
“The Fox Queen,” the fox said.
Charles sighed softly and Crystal knew exactly what he was thinking: The last thing they needed was more animal royalty.
Or: The Dead Boy Detective Agency is back in London, back to solving cases, back to normal. Or as normal as it can get after Port Townsend upended their afterlives. In the middle of routine casework they discover that all across London, ghost children are going missing—vanished into thin air as if they never existed. If that weren’t enough trouble, rumors begin to spread around the Night Market that a group of Americans is looking for a ghost who has escaped hell.

Summary
The corridor they walked down was carpeted, quiet in the way hotels were always quiet, the sound insulated and the air too close. Their room was right at the end, and Charles took a deep breath and let it out as he pressed the key to the reader, waited for the little whir and click and green light, and pushed the door open wide.
A really stupendous amount of exhibitionist sex in a hotel room, basically.Bookmarked by VOverTheRainbow
