    Summary

    The cases are never really over—not with new bodies appearing, a woman still in danger, and something deeper starting to pull loose.

    Harry Du Bois is trying to do things right, whatever that means, however long it lasts.
    Kim Kitsuragi is steady, but not untouched.
    As the Square Bullet Hole murders begin to unravel, so does something else—quietly, slowly—inside them both.

    La Revacholiere is alive, love builds its shape in silence, and some truths don’t collapse. They unfold.

    —or

    Ugly recovery and uglier villains. It’s “we share a bed but won’t talk about it” levels of repression. A character study with legs. And it keeps getting shot at, goddamnit.

    Summary

    Jonathan Sims likes books more than people. When he applied to do a Masters in Egyptian Archaeology, he certainly didn't expect all these people to become part of his life. Between oversharing collaborators, creepy supervisors, obnoxious assistants, unhinged acquaintances, confusing second-years, and a woman literally living on his sofa-- he really can't cope with any extra pressure.

    So, when discrepancies start appearing in the research around the Serapeum of Alexandria, Jon does what anybody would.

    He keeps on searching. And two mysteries emerge: one, an ancient conspirary suspiciously absent from recorded history; the other, an entirely more terrifying investigation into the people around him. Their habits, their interests, their motivations, their feelings, how they take their tea.

    Looks like he won't be finding the answers in his books, this time.

    (University AU, loosely inspired by the mentions of the Serapeum in MAG 53: Crusader)

    Summary

    Annabelle’s junior year of college as a psychology major focuses around one specific case study attempted by Jonah Magnus that was bothering her.

    If one person was exposed to the worst that every Fear had to offer, would they see humanity as worth saving?

    And for this case study, Jonathan Sims happens to be her (unconsensual) lab rat.

    Summary

    He can make it another hour. It’s only an hour. Gerard has got to get used to long drives, if he’s going to try and find somewhere to live. Mary’s ghost followed him so far, and she might yet follow him down the way to DC. He’d had three blissful days of rest before she found him, screaming about what he had done to her. It took him another week to get going, to find a car and leave.

    She hasn’t found him yet. But Gerard doesn’t know how long that will last. He doesn’t want to stop and find out.

     

    After the suicide of his mother, Gerard Keay finds himself haunted by her ghost.
