Summary
It’s been at least six months since David’s had to emergency courier Alexis a passport, and it’s great. It really is. It’s what he’s always wanted, David reminds himself, trying not to scratch at what definitely aren’t stress hives on his arms.
OR: Alexis Rose finds something unexpected that she's good at. (She's probably not running a cartel.)

Summary
Port Townsend, 1932: the streets are dark with something more than night. Crystal Palace: a dame with no past—but she does have a dead man in her bedroom. Niko Sasaki: her neighbour—and maybe a little more than that. Edwin Payne: a private investigator with a knack for making trouble his business. Charles Rowland: a homicide detective who joined the police force because he believes in justice—though this case may break him of that habit. Why do Port Townsend’s girls keep disappearing? What’s the deal with the local speakeasy, the Cat’s Pajamas? And who really runs this town?
A noir AU for the DBDA Big Bang, with art by meip
