Summary
Fujiko would rather die than go back to before she met the boys, but not even getting stranded in the past and having to reassemble them herself is going to get her to admit it.

Summary
Scar had sounded friendly, over the comm. Delighted to hear Grian’s voice, the longing of a terraformer who’d been stuck away from living planets for ages creeping into his tone. Wait, Grian, are you coming in person? Can’t you stretch your delivery window a little? We could always say there were asteroid beasts trying to eat us. Etho would back me up, and it’s not like they could extend our contracts–
If there’s asteroid beasts, I’m staying right in my pilot’s seat where I can flee them in style, Grian had retorted.
No, no, only good things here, Scar had protested, the reports of beasts have been greatly exaggerated, and you know, we have algae, we all like algae, we’re all about eating your greens–
Scar had aimed for Grian’s center of mass. His stunner had been set one level below lethal. If it had hit where he was aiming, Grian would’ve had worse heart palpitations than this, bordering on deadly. Trouble breathing.
Certainly trouble escaping.

Summary
“Hello there!” Charles greets amicably. “Come on in, we don't bite! Unless you ask nicely, of course.”
Thomas doesn't need to look away from the girl to know Charles has thrown in a cheeky little wink for good measure.
“What's your business here?” Thomas asks, always having far less patience for bullshit than his partner in supernatural crime.
Charles nudges him lightly with his elbow in reprimand, but the girl doesn't seem particularly bothered. “You guys are, like, the supernatural hitmen everyone's been talking about, right?”
The pair exchanges a brief but meaningful look. “That'd be us! I'm Charles Rowland, and he's Thomas King. We’re the Dead Dude Vigilantes.”
She looks them up and down with a keen, appraising gaze. “I'm Crystal, psychic medium. Cool name.”
x
The Dead Dude Vigilantes, Thomas and Charles, and their newest client, a living psychic girl named Crystal, find themselves pursuing an unexpected job in Port Townsend. There, they meet the Forest King, a shape-shifting magical being who turns everything they thought they knew about themselves and each other on its head.
An AU in which Edwin and the Cat King reverse roles.

Summary
The Wizard King’s reputation preceded him wherever he went, wherever the roaming form of his impossible moving castle carried him. His was a reputation drenched in blood and carnality, in licentious desires and grisly ends. A reputation of dangerous beauty, intoxicating charm; of a smile sharp when it grinned into the bright young faces of hapless townspeople, and sharper still when it sank into their chests to taste their beating hearts.
A chilling little story, to be sure, and a concerning one to have slunk its way to their doorstep, but Edwin wasn’t overly worried about it.
After all, the Wizard King only ate the hearts of the pretty ones.
He was Edwin Payne of Payne & Sons Bespoke Tailoring; he was always and only of Payne & Sons. Such was his station in life, a role he himself was tailor-made for. A role he fit like a drab but finely-crafted glove. And so it went—until the day a wizard and a witch conspired to turn his tidy little life upside down.
